Excellent news!

Adorable...thanks for the welcome!

I get a kick out of these "uninspiring" quotes...happened upon them way back when...someone got sick of the syrupy Hallmark stuff and decided to be irreverent: (I know, I know...we're supposed to stay positive but ya gotta admit, these are funny...I have more).... :devilish: (Certainly more my...

That's interesting....sounds like she understood where her "hangups/neuroses?" came from ... and perhaps how she had passed them along? It really is just karma - cause and effect....often pretty clear...sometimes complex though and hard to "unpack." In my older years I've started to see many...

One of my favorite poems (yes, I know it's irreverent and probably violates some rule here but I couldn't resist): :devilish: They "F" you up, your mom and dad They do not mean to, but they do They fill you up with faults they had And add some extra just for you

I'm trying to stick to the types of products you list here but for something like an egg...or other things that need non-stick...I'd like an alternative. They're out of stock on the X pans, so it's back-burner for me now (pun intended). :)

IF they were able to make peace and let it go...unfortunately the complexities of how our parents shaped us are often never "figured out." Mine were pretty affectionate but dysfunctional in other ways...I can see some of the hangups in myself even now in my old age. I've made peace (mostly) by...

G'day to you Rakaia...didn't realize that about dry land cattle production....:unsure:

I could write a book on the ills of alcohol...wish there were a way to tamp down its destruction. Without belaboring the subject here are some things that could help: Parents (model that it's ok...they could not drink at home)...wishful thinking, I know. Media could stop glamorizing it and...

Agree that the pain med could be the culprit...hang in there until it's out of your system...lots of support here.

Totally in favor of assisted suicide for old people suffering...wish it were legal in all states and not limited to those with a terminal illness. I would never call it cowardly...no one can understand what another person is going through and we should never judge because of it.

Thanks much!

Deya, I see that you're in the NW part of the U.S....I did a long vacation drive down Highway 1...coastal...lovely....have been to California many times (mostly San Francisco)...finalized the drive in the Seattle/Portland area...so gorgeous.

Quite a lot of people here w/TX connections...Bonee...I'm on acreage in between Austin and San Antonio. Yes, Lake Travis is nice...used to go the the Austin area quite a bit...had a few nights on Lake Travis at a nice restaurant there...very pretty.

And that's saying something since it's such a huge area! Thanks for the welcome....
