Hi fredo; Oh how I miss a REAL cup of coffee--when I go into the local convenience store they have coffee brewing in the morning and it smells SOOOO good. But I have to stick with decaf coffee and tea--caffeine makes my heartbeat irregular. But the decaf stuff does not taste like the real stuff!

Hi trout; when one of Bea's sons phoned to tell me about the wake he said "I'll see you at the family reunion" meaning the wake, because it's the only time nowadays family members get together. Sad but true.

Oh girl; that was so cute--three servings from the warmed up bottom part--I love it!

I've got a feeling the poor wives got the slam bam thank you ma'am route. They did what they had to do, or as I heard in a movie once women were supposed to lie there and think of God and country.

Re: the Penn State scandal--That old guy is a pedophile plain and simple, and rather than eight boys known to have been molested, I bet there's 1,008! A perve like him ain't gonna begin and end with just eight!

PS my daughter keeps after me to get on Facebook, but I have no desire to know every little detail of someone's life--there's not much privacy left in our lives as it is.

Hi teal; that's the one biggie about giving money to a charity or other good cause--soon you're inundated with pleas for donations. I used to give to World Wildlife Fund, and the Nature Conservancy but stopped because then I was getting mail from all kinds of organizations.

Stella, from susil: Tx for visiting my blog, and hope to stay in contact.

Uneventful so far, but still raining and under tornado watch/warnings. Rain rain go away!

Why isn't this amazing product sold in stores? I have several things I'd to try it on. My daughter spilled baby oil on the hall carpet, and I can tell you I have scrubbed that spot with every product on earth over and over, but it's like Lady McBeth's dam*ed spot--it just won't go away.

I've always been the palm reader at soirees--used to be pretty good at it.But I am leery of having my own palm read. I don't want to know what's in my future.
