MsNo, that story has a unhappy ending...turns out the gossip who called me with the story got it all wrong. He wasn't hit by a car in the street and it wasn't a minor injury at all. He was knocked backward onto the pavement by his own mother...she was leaving the driveway and he didn't want her to go and tried to open the back passenger door. She didn't know he was there and the door knocked him down...severe head trauma and he is still in ICU.

Oh geez. I hope he'll be ok.

Oh my, that's awful.

Ms. No,
Nordstrom has the best hair bows for little girls!

Not only that, they have cute charms and delightful teensy earrings, for the fashion-minded!

I love shopping at Nordstrom!

... wrong test results to the doctor and decided she needed an arm removed when all she had was a broken collar bone!

Oh, that is not the first story I've heard similar to that!

Wrong kidney, wrong arm, wrong leg, gaaah.... Anyone going to hospital needs a watcher/talker to get through it.

They might have been more careful with his mom if they'd know he is a lawyer! Ha!

Here is a picture of my son, the biochemistry grad student!

He's the young man at the back left, pursuing his, uh, studies in Boston.

20293. Magoseph - 9/30/2006 2:31:23 PM

Good looking kid, Ohio, and such a nice smile.

20294. arkymalarky - 9/30/2006 6:39:06 PM

Looks like a great bunch of kids there, Ohio. Must feel good as a parent, not just that he's doing so well, but has a good set of peers.

20295. OhioSTOPAS - 9/30/2006 7:00:31 PM

At least some of the others in the picture are fellow Boston University biochemistry grad students.

And, for the record, even though my son is tall, good-looking and hirsute, I AM his father. Honest.

20296. judithathome - 9/30/2006 9:42:47 PM

Then you must be good-looking, too. He's very much so and I agree, a great smile!

20297. judithathome - 10/1/2006 11:52:06 PM

Oh WOW...Keoni went to Lowe's for a replacement piece for his sprinkler and came home with a great looking rectanglular table and two chairs for the patio! It's metal and sort of speckled beige and the top of the table looks like a woven basket.

The color matches the stones of the patio perfectly !

20298. judithathome - 10/2/2006 12:31:19 AM

Okay, here's the scoop: the patio set is cast aluminum and the table was originally $249...we got it for $95. The two chairs were originally $206 (for both) and we got them for $75.

Quite a deal, if I do say so myself!

20299. anomie - 10/2/2006 1:13:01 AM

That does sound like a good deal, Judith. I like finding deals w/o having to haggle.
I'll be spending quite a bit of money and time at Lowes and Home Depot soon. My house needs almost everything. Starting with carpet, or wood or vinyl...I can't decide.

20300. arkymalarky - 10/2/2006 4:30:15 AM

Hey, Anomie! Did you get Dad's book okay?

And have you moved yet? If so, I hope all went smoothly. If not, I hope all goes smoothly.

20301. anomie - 10/2/2006 11:29:12 AM

Hey Arky,

Yes, didn't I say...I got it a few days before the expected date of 2 Sep. The first page is great! The rest may have to wait till after I move.

Current plans have me driving West in mid-Nov. Maybe a bit earlier if my house is vacated.

20302. Magoseph - 10/3/2006 12:35:07 AM

Hi, everyone--busy weekend, several visitors this weekend all Flexy's relatives, staying in local motels and taking us out to breakfast, lunch, and dinner Saturday and Sunday. We're exhausted.

20303. judithathome - 10/3/2006 12:54:23 AM

Anomie, if you can come through Fort Worth, Keoni and I would like to treat you to the best Italian food you'll ever have...in Texas. ;-)

20304. Magoseph - 10/3/2006 11:52:34 AM

Anomie, what I want to know is whether or not you can put me if I decide to gamble.

20305. Magoseph - 10/3/2006 11:53:54 AM

Anomie, I meant to say: if you can put me UP if I decide to gamble.
