Thanks, Wabbit and Arky.
Certainly the elderly have lots of needs as well, but seeing as I have no children and have spent the majority of my life in elder care...and will again far too soon as hubby is much older than I....I think I need to focus on younger folks so I can keep myself young too.

I see that DfS has a need for volunteers who will do presentations to groups of women about the importance of image and dressing the part...that might be a good way to put my presentation skills to good use.

I hope y'all are safe in the middle of the country...seems these lines of horrible storms are unrelenting in your area.

I'll be getting up at 3am my time for a 6am flight - can't wait to get to Arky's...and my waterproof boots are packed. Warn the dogs!

JaH, you may get there before Ms. No and I do, but we'll see you tomorrow.

t'ful, I think you'll be great for DfS, they need you!

Can't wait! Weather is perfect too!

put on a white sundress i bought a couple of years ago. had spaghetti and wine.
sigh.

4653. arkymalarky - 6/12/2011 1:16:45 AM

i think mose bought me dribble wine glasses as a joke and i just now got it.

4654. judithathome - 6/12/2011 4:29:21 PM

Oh Arks! Was it one of the dresses we tried on in Hot Springs?

It may be too late but if you have any Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner IN A CAN...not the pump spray stuff...it will take the wine stains out ASAP. When you spray it on, the wine turns dark blue and you think you're ruined but it washes right out.

Thanks Judith! I can't remember where I got it, but it was on a good sale. iit came out with oxyclean spray. It's just irritating that i can't wear something like that and eat or drink anything.

Get used to it...the older you get, the more it happens.

I breathe a sigh of relief at every dinner when the first glop falls...like "Whew...got THAT outta the way!"

That's why I tend to low necklines. I can just drop stuff into my cleavage and nobody ever notices.

4661. arkymalarky - 7/2/2011 12:28:34 AM

haha!

4662. Jenerator - 1/25/2012 8:43:15 PM

I had a bottle of Silver Oak's 1988 Cabernet last night. It's the first expensive wine I have had that had essentially matured past its prime.

My favorite these days has been chianti.

4663. judithathome - 1/25/2012 8:52:40 PM

You can get really good Chianti cheaply...you can also pay dearly for it but that would be throwing money away.

I'm talking GOOD Chianti for under $12...there really should be no snobbery in Chianti...ha!

4664. Jenerator - 1/26/2012 12:07:01 AM

I haven't had a good Chianti for $12 - give me some suggestions.

Gabbiano's cheaper label chianti is not good.

My favorite is vigna vecchia 2007 classico chianti reserva:



It's about $27 a bottle. Love it.

4665. arkymalarky - 1/26/2012 1:39:21 AM

There's good chianti?

4666. arkymalarky - 1/26/2012 1:40:55 AM

Ha! Nvm. I was thinking chardonnay. Never liked it.

4667. judithathome - 1/26/2012 7:50:19 PM

Arrrgh...you got part of the DEVIL number!

4668. Jenerator - 1/27/2012 10:54:56 PM

What are the cheap but good chiantis?


---------------

Arky - an excellent chardonnay is Far Niente's 2009 vintage. It's so buttery and complex.
