24919. magoseph - 1/7/2009 8:28:52 PM All are doing well, I see, Prof—thank you for the pictures. How old is your granddaughter and which couple had her, if you don’t mind to tell me, of course? My sons are fine; both married and doing very well in their jobs, (both work for ATT); the oldest lives on Lake Michigan, no children planned; the youngest lives in Arlington, TX and plans to make me a grandma. The four of them are vacationing in Jamaica the twentieth. As for me, I have become my husband’s caretaker the last three years—a labor of love, I should add. 24920. psychprof - 1/7/2009 9:12:49 PM Mags...Oldest son has the daughter. I think my family is just getting started!!
Anomie...boat is coming soon. 24921. webfeet - 1/7/2009 10:24:31 PM Judith, please know how sorry I am about your loss. I wasn't aware that this was an on-going struggle, and for that, I'm sure it must have been all the more painful. I'm sure that in time you will find ways to celebrate the good, and to find pleasure with all that you did before, keeping the very best of your time together close to you in heart and in memory. 24922. webfeet - 1/7/2009 10:42:08 PM Lovely image. What's in the mugs, psychprof? Hot toddies? 24923. psychprof - 1/7/2009 11:41:02 PM Webby...
Yes, but just Ms Prof. 24924. Jenerator - 1/8/2009 2:19:49 AM I love the relaxation pic, PP! 24925. Dubai Vol - 1/8/2009 6:33:41 AM Mmm, pizza! Now that's a subject I can sink my teeth into! Matter of fact I'm making pizza for dinner tonight. The secret, if you have a regular oven, is to cook the crust on its own first, then add the toppings and bake it again. Funny thing: I have been using my crust recipe for decades, and just lately looked in my Betty Crocker cookbook and discovered it's essentially identical to the recipe for french bread. 24926. psychprof - 1/8/2009 3:45:53 PM In defense of the moderators and especially Wabbit, I intend to post here more often. This place fits like a comfortable pair of slippers. 24927. arkymalarky - 1/8/2009 4:45:11 PM That's great, PP. We all really enjoy your uplifting posts and pictures! 24928. magoseph - 1/8/2009 10:55:38 PM Ano, according to my son, there's no "Milwaukee pizza that he knows about--he said he knows only the Chicago pizza. 24929. judithathome - 1/9/2009 5:43:05 PM Thanks so much to everyone who expressed concerns for my family...we are doing fine and appreciate everyone thinking of us. It's good to know we have friends who cars. Thanks again. 24930. anomie - 1/9/2009 9:48:45 PM Gracious words, Judith. Thanks. It's good to see you here. 24931. judithathome - 1/10/2009 1:02:57 AM It would have been better had I proofed a bit and used "cares" rather than cars. ;-) 24932. arkymalarky - 1/10/2009 7:37:32 PM It's good to see you posting, Judith. And Bob and I are looking forward to a visit from you and Keoni soon! 24933. arkymalarky - 1/10/2009 8:03:32 PM Mose and her BF in their (her) NY resolution to lose weight gave us the most fattening contents of their liquor cabinet which include pomagranate liquer, peach schnapps, butter schnapps, kahlua, and baileys. We need to have a party. 24934. wabbit - 1/10/2009 8:46:34 PM I'm not much of a liqueur drinker, but Domain de Canton is yummy enough to be dangerous. I love ginger. 24935. robertjayb - 1/11/2009 1:15:21 AM for Arky:
An OpenSalon contributer recalls the The Great Arkansas Ice Storm. 24936. arkymalarky - 1/11/2009 4:22:39 AM Hey, cool! Thanks Robert! 24937. arkymalarky - 1/11/2009 4:55:16 AM Interesting similarities and differences. I had kids writing about it too, for several years afterward. I should have kept their papers. There's a lot I've told already and lots of interesting stories I haven't, but what's most etched in my mind is lying in bed with Bob the night it hit, listening to Bob's parents' young pines, their investment for their retirement and their kids' future, snap like gunshots--all night long.
And we both want to puke at the smell of a Glade candle to this day. It was all we had for light for 11 days. 24938. iiibbb - 1/13/2009 9:28:52 PM House has been on the market for a week. We have our first and most promising walkthrough today.
P's been offered the job, but it is all contingent on her getting through the background check... so we may get an offer we can't act immediately on. We won't know for another 2-5 weeks. Our realtor said we can add that contingency to a counter-offer should we get an offer from the client looking at it today.
We're headed North to go look for housing this weekend. I have one meeting with someone "connected" who might give me some good leads on jobs. Crossing fingers.
I wish things would happen in order. I can't wait for all of this stress to be lifted.
