19400. Ulgine Barrows - 5/13/2006 5:14:14 AM Looks like I would want my son to make me pancakes & tell me about his life instead of giving great gifts......
but I'm onery like that. 19401. Magoseph - 5/13/2006 12:59:04 PM The gifts surprised me, Arky--I gather that the fiancée had some input in the selection.
Ulgine, if he could make pancakes for me, then he would be living with me. I wouldn't want that for him. 19402. wonkers2 - 5/13/2006 1:44:33 PM Wise mother. 19403. wonkers2 - 5/13/2006 1:49:01 PM He's my fiance, he's my son. Prudence says "Sick!" 19404. Ulgine Barrows - 5/14/2006 8:38:40 AM 19401. Magoseph...if he could make pancakes for me, then he would be living with me
That's retarded. My husband is going over to his mom's place later today to make pancakes. Yet, he lives here.
And I'm OK with my decay. 19405. judithathome - 5/14/2006 3:50:59 PM Jeez, Ulgine...it's not retarded at all. Mago's son lives in another state.
Don't be so judgemental...no one expects your son, aged under 10 years, to buy you brandy and chocolates.
One day he might and I doubt you'll turn it down. 19406. PelleNilsson - 5/14/2006 4:49:06 PM Sacrilege alert! Grand Marnier is NOT a brandy. 19407. judithathome - 5/14/2006 6:15:10 PM I know that but one IS ALLOWED to make a gift of brandy and chocolates, is one not? I wasn't calling Grand Marnier a brandy, Pelle...I was commenting on a gift Ulgine's son might one day give to her; not precisely the same as the one Mago's son gave her. I might have suggested beer and pretzels, even...or Courvoisier and beluga cavair.
19408. PelleNilsson - 5/14/2006 6:24:41 PM Yes, Judith, but I strongly suspect that the real reason you wrote 'brandy' is that, like me, you have difficulties with the spelling of 'liqueur' (I looked it up just now). 19409. judithathome - 5/14/2006 9:04:00 PM Ha! That would be correct. You sly dog. 19410. judithathome - 5/14/2006 9:04:29 PM I gave it my best, though. 19411. Macnas - 5/15/2006 8:31:49 AM Grand Marnier, I have bad and hazy memories of that sticky orange booze. 19412. wonkers2 - 5/15/2006 3:10:46 PM Just returned from my first experience with a chiropractor or kinesiologist as he calls himself. Up to now I've been a skeptic. But he appeared to make sense about the cause of my low back pain--right leg shorter than left which tilts lower back out of line. Solution a heel lift for my right shoe. Anybody opinions on chiropractic for back pain? 19413. Adam Selene - 5/15/2006 3:19:12 PM The only complaint's I've heard are from "official" doctors. Gee... fill in your own punch line. 19414. Magoseph - 5/15/2006 3:19:15 PM That's very interesting, Wonks, something I should look into soon, for myself, I mean.
Mac, Flexy tasted the liqueur and deemed it execrable. Its only quality is that the content of alcohol is only 40%, he said. Some forty years ago, Flexy stopped drinking and since then, he believes that having a couple of drinks too many leads to perdition.
Yesterday, he was given a Mimosa and although he had to know there was Champagne in it, we were surprised that he drank it down and asked for more. We came back from the brunch at my son’s and his wife’s place loaded up with enough food to last a week. I never heard a pip out of Flexy on the way back home, a 22 miles trip usually scary for him. He was sound asleep and upon waking up, told me how well I drove this time. I think that I’ll take a thermos bottle with spiked orange juice every time we get out of town.
Today, he has his primary doctor check-up and Thursday the left eye’s surgery followed by another check-up Friday. Flexy has a friend who underwent the same procedures, both eyes having heavy cataracts. This man had all kinds of troubles during and after the surgeries. I was present when he said that most of his problems came from having a nervous wife at his side, a judgment I found harsh at first, considering that she is a wonderful woman. However, you know, she agreed with him and told me that her fears made him tense and nervous at the same time and this state of affair did not help his recovery.
19415. Max Macks - 5/15/2006 8:43:46 PM howdy , just checking in 19416. wonkers2 - 5/15/2006 11:41:07 PM Hi, Max. I was out in the Bay area last month. The weather was a bit wet and cold. The new museum (DeYoung) in Golden Gate Park is beautiful. Wish home prices weren't so high. I might move out there. 19417. judithathome - 5/16/2006 5:08:48 AM Just returned from my first experience with a chiropractor or kinesiologist as he calls himself.
This is so timely...today on our way to the airport to unload the Greeks on their Lufthansa flight home, we passed a truck which had a sign on it that said "Equine and Canine Chiropractic Care" and we nearly drove off the road laughing...we were making jokes about the short tables for the dogs to lay on and the manipulation of the dog's spines and the hole in the tables where their snouts woud go....I guess you had to be there, Wonk, for it to be as hysterical as we found it.
Maybe it was in part the exhileration of delivering our guests to the airport, at last. 19418. judithathome - 5/16/2006 5:11:38 AM Substitute an "e" for an "i" in that post. 19419. judithathome - 5/16/2006 5:12:45 AM Or whatever....HA!
