Holly in Nashville, I grew up in Nashville. My dad was the minister at St. George's Episcopal church. We live in the rectory that was beside it, 102 Belle Meade Blvd. Quite the experience- ministers don't make much money but everyone around us was very well off. We moved when I was 8.

Pip, such a wonderful story about DH. I am so glad he has recovered so well. Janet, glad you got some answers. Love to all. Girls are hyper this morning and distracting me so cannot respond any further. So glad this group is here!

Love all the photos! Envious of touring the Stanley hotel- I have read about it! Another booklover here. Actually quite addicted. I do feel books have saved my life- when it was horrible in childhood I escaped in to a book. Taught myself to read at three and read everything in the house by age 8, including the entire…

Kim, I am so sorry about the cooking class. Go PIP! Love to all. Get the grandkids AGAIN today (had them last weekend too!)!!! And I get them the 22nd as well! Yippee!

My very large Akita/ German Shepherd mix could rest his head on the dining room table. One day a male friend came over and we barbequed rib eye steaks. He unwisely set his plate down, with the steak on it, and turned away from the table. In one gulp the steak was gone. I lost this sweet but stupid guy a couple of years ago…

Barbie, so sorry you have to have surgery. Hoping the results are fantastic. And yes, think about next spring when you will be in top form again!

I have a lot of the family heirlooms, especially the silver since I am the only one that will polish it. I was worried about what to do with it since my three sons did not want it. Now my oldest adoptive daughter wants it all! She is so obsessed with inheriting it that she often says, "When you die, can I have __________?"…

KarenE, I struggle with depression in the fall and winter, too. I just made an appointment today to see my primary care to go back on Effexor. I have actually been off it, taking just buproprion, for two years but I SHOULD have gone back on it last fall/ winter. The holidays were miserable for me last year- no joy, just…

DrKatiebug, I find that what REALLY matters in coffee, is grinding my own beans. I get a fairly inexpensive brand (Wide Awake) so it doesn't have to be top dollar. It is also important to keep your pot clean especially if you use a drip coffee maker. Mold easily grows in the coffee oils and can make coffee taste nasty.…

Joyce, before the girls came to live with me, I just stopped using the second story. I used a small room downstairs for my bedroom, and just left the two bedrooms upstairs made up for guests, but nothing I would need to access up there. It worked out well. Occasionally I would go upstairs and clean/ change the linens. But…

Thanks Karen!

I have an odd question. Does anyone know an online source for decent quality wigs that are under $100? I need a new one for my grandchild who really would rather be a girl.

Janet, I am laughing at your post. I have had the grandkids since noon yesterday. My girls and grandkids have been playing "fashion photographer" almost the entire time. So there are clothes every where. And four kids running around having a great time and giggling like mad. My "girlie" grandson is in his element, loving…

Yum Karen! Linda, adorable baby. I don't know how you can give them up though! Here is one of the strays I rescued. Her name is George from the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the adominable snowman. " I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George." She is now two but this is one of my favorite kitty photos.

Lisa, I got a laugh out of your post because I used to think I was allergic to sex! Every time I had sex I ended up with either a yeast infection or a UTI. Then in 1990 I discovered I was allergic to latex when the gloves at work made my hands red and itchy and raw. So I stopped using the diaphragm or condoms (both latex).…

Did my hot tub workout for an hour, and mowed my yard and pulled weeds for a couple of hours. So nice to not be feeling awful! Antibiotics can do wonders!
-
What a difference a day makes! I felt somewhat better a few hours after taking the first antibiotic pill! The fever broke by evening. And I was able to sleep soundly from nine to four! With my girls back in school, my main goal for September is to purge and get organized in three areas- my office, the closet under the…

Sick the last two days with a UTI (urinary tract infection) and fever. Going to the doctor today, one way or another. Feel awful. Love to all.

Joyce, I have seen photos! WOW! I am such an architecture nut I would LOVE to go there just to look at the architecture! Aren't you lucky to live near the resorts!

Carol, when I was working, I wore exclusively vintage jewelry. Now I don't wear it much. Such better quality than any costume jewelry that you find today!

KarenE posted while I was typing! She is correct.

The PROBABILITY of the event happening is different. Multiply the probability of each event by one another. This will give you the probability of multiple events occurring one after another. Here's what you can do: Example 1:What is the probability of rolling two consecutive fives on a six-sided die? The probability of…

Heather, having a blue eyed child is an Independent Event. The odds do not change for independent events. Each time the chance is the same. Independent events are events whose odds aren't effected by previous events. Flipping a coin and getting a heads is an independent event - you're not more likely to get a heads based…

Heather, from what I remember of my statistics, it is still a 1 in 4 chance that all three will be blue eyed. But I have not used any of that for years, so I may be remembering wrong. Katla, sorry to hear about the hubbie and his MS. To add upon someone else's idea, is there an Explorer boy scout troop in your area that…

Carol, Victorians were really in to Oriental artwork and other items. It was the first time in history that travel for fun was possible, and to have a collection of Oriental treasures was a way to show your travel adventures. My grandmother was an appraiser and dealer of antiques and I have a house full of Oriental stuff…

Meg in Omaha, one of my favorite blues musicians is playing in Papillion on Friday at the Stave. Kevin Burt. A voice like BB King and is the sweetest man too. When I saw his post on FB I thought of you immediately! Don't know if you like Blues music, but if you do, this will be a good show!

Okay, yes, I have a gorgeous old fixer upper. Here are some features of the front door. In the last photo there is a weird image of the neighbor's house in the window, and stairs showing above it.

Gorgeous photos Heather. They are so adorable!

My older daughter is scowling because of the weight of her chromebook (computer) that she will have to carry "all day" now. She also has to wear the purse with her Epipen in it, and a backpack to and from school. Not happy about it all, and also a bit mad because I scolded them for arguing! LOL

NYKaren, I suspect that your encyclopedias were World Book. They had yearly Annuals. I have a huge family connection to World Book. My great uncle (mother's mother's sister's husband) was Editor in Chief. My mother was a photograph editor- she found the wonderful photos or set up photo shoots to get them. So, my brother…
