15229. Magoseph - 5/30/2005 11:42:32 AM You made that remark in International, Ali: "Now, I'm so French that I have no idea how it feels to be European." It rang a bell--I'm always being accused by my brother of being so American that I have no idea how it feels to be French. Oh, well...
15230. Magoseph - 5/30/2005 11:56:13 AM Well, you're a hard act to improve on Mago...
Thanks, Mac, but not really-- if I were, there'd be more new posters in here.
15235. Magoseph - 5/30/2005 12:45:10 PM Sorry, but I lost a post trying to get Jex's post to the Inferno. I think it's one of mine, but I'm not certain.
Excuse-moi, Jex, but that was over the limit.
15236. Magoseph - 5/30/2005 12:47:20 PM Oh, my God, I just realize I lost more than one post. If it is one of yours, please accept my humble apologies. 15237. jexster - 5/30/2005 12:57:42 PM Tabernac!, Choleque de merde!

[I wouldn't try if I were you Mlle. Mago] 15239. Macnas - 5/30/2005 1:24:56 PM Was that house(!) used in the film "Being There" ?? 15240. jexster - 5/30/2005 3:45:35 PM Yes I believe so and in Hannibal the Cannibal 15241. Macnas - 5/30/2005 4:05:58 PM I cannot remember any of "Hannibal", but I recall "being there" quite well.
That is one big house. 8000 acres to stroll around in to boot. 15242. judithathome - 5/30/2005 4:16:49 PM We were going to stay home today and then, yeasterday, a friend we haven't seen in 6 months called and invited us for steaks and champagne. So now we are going to his house...pool, monster grilling station, sauna, the works...for the day and will see how much money selling used foreign cars really can buy. ;-) 15243. judithathome - 5/30/2005 4:17:25 PM Not yeast-erday but....you know. 15244. Macnas - 5/30/2005 4:28:06 PM Does he want to buy mine? I'll throw in some footwell mats as well.. 15245. Magoseph - 5/31/2005 8:44:46 AM Location shootings at Biltmore Estates

15246. Magoseph - 5/31/2005 2:46:48 PM Judith, how did it go last night? 15247. Ms. No - 5/31/2005 5:00:58 PM Jexster,
I had forgotten we have common roots! It was one of those bits of knowledge flying far under the radar for the past few years. I like your school link, my dad went to Episcopal High School. 15248. thoughtful - 5/31/2005 5:22:22 PM I'm on pins and needles today...brother went in for an angioplasty and stent on his carotid artery...hoping to prevent another stroke, like he had in March. He's being operated on now and I'm waiting to hear. I hate waiting.
Dang he's only 53.
But to look at him, he looks much older. He's a smoker, drinks beer doesn't eat right and has diabetes. He's betting our 80 year old mother will outlive him. It doesn't have to be that way, but if he's not willing to change his lifestyle.... 15249. Magoseph - 5/31/2005 6:47:12 PM Oh, I feel for you waiting to know--please let us know what's going to happen. 15250. judithathome - 5/31/2005 6:49:27 PM Good thoughts for your brother, Thoughtful.
Mags, it was fantastic! These are friends we see only once a year, usually, and we'd never seen their house. It's out in the country and is absolutely beautiful. A pool and party area and the landscaping is gorgeous, as is the interior of their house. Very open and comfortable. She has done a really nice job of decorating with an eclectic mix of modern and antiques.
We had a great time and the food was delicious. Nice weather and good music, good food, and good conversation with friends...the perfect day! 15251. Ms. No - 5/31/2005 7:25:13 PM Well wishes for your bro, Thoughtful. 15252. thoughtful - 5/31/2005 7:36:22 PM Thanks Mags, Judithah and Ms No....
I heard from hubby and he came through the procedure ok.
They're keeping him in the hospital for a few days though. Apparently his artery was severely blocked and now that they've opened it up, they're afraid he might pop a brain artery if they let his bp stay normal, so they're lowering it a lot and will gradually raise it to let his brain readjust to the new greater blood flow.
I just hope this scares the shit out of him so he turns his health habits around....
but somehow, I don't hold out much hope. And his wife is no help at all. She looks like an auschwitz survivor and she lives on coffee and cigarettes.
Let's just say there's lots of room for improvement there...
