We have had much better than average weather this winter though. The last 3 weeks in particular have been 30's and even into the 40's! Unheard of (for such a long stretch) in this neck of the woods!! The snow in my front yard is at least 3/4 gone . The back yard doesn't get as much sun, but it is getting down back there too. Yay!! I haven't seen a robin yet though.

I am afraid of a March snow dump though. Seems we always get at least one big one in March.

Also seems like the older I get, the more ready I am for "early" Spring each year.

It's a pun: "meringue" sounds like "my rang", Southern slang for "ring"

Status: offline 		Good morning Den. We were on the road yesterday over near Mobile. The group did a Sunday morning and evening concert and we did not get back till about 11 pm. So today I am doing laundry and cleaning the house while Pam goes back to work.

This is the anniversary of my retirement and I am working more now than I did when I had my job. But I am working for the two of us now, so it is more fulfilling.

Seeking the advice of parents and anyone who has an opinion...LINK

I wish I had some wise advice. I can only offer a hug.


FWIW & somewhat similar though, we didn't have any family secrets when I was growing up. I knew all the good, bad and, ugly about relatives. I think I grew up with a realistic image about life.

My wife, OTOH, grew up hearing none of the dark family secrets. She and her 3 sisters thought her parents never disagreed or argued and that all her relatives were saintly. All four of their marriages went through some difficult times because they thought they'd married the wrong man since we sometimes disagreed with them. (The only thing that got us through that was the discovery that their mom & dad had their share of heated disagreements - away from the children's ears.) They also received a series of shocks to learn that some of their relatives drank heavily, ran around, gambled, etc.)

I guess my point is that shielding children from the stark truth about real faults may cause them more harm in the long run than pretending those flaws don't exist.

I believe this had a lot to do with why my first marriage didn't work out. I never saw my parents disagree, never saw them argue...nothing. I did see my mother nod to everything my father wanted not knowing that she would "discuss" it with him later. So when my ex and I would have problems it threw me for a loop. Granted, his cheating and abuse didn't help matters much but I believe they were all connected in some weird way.

Now I have no problem arguing with someone.

I could have used this when we went to Po'Folks for dinner one night. I had to have the menu translated.

Status: offline 		Dear Denizens:

My computer is still in the shop. I'm here at the library with about 16 minutes left. But I'm caught up!

I do have bad news, though. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. Don't know anything more yet, I'm meeting with the surgeon tomorrow. I'm doing okay, I'm much less upset than I would have thought I'd be.

Well, see ya next time!

I was just thinking about you this morning, wondering when you would get your computer back up and going. I hope it is soon and you can stop back in the Den and let us know how you are doing. Until then you'll be in our prayers!

I need prayer Denizens. Next Sunday, I am testing again for patrol (the physical testing). I know it will be hard - especially being on graveyard shift now, but I have stayed in great shape and should still do well at the agility testing. The problem? I woke up feeling like I'm coming down with something. The cold going around work is awful too - we've had folks miss more than a week of work. Ugh. I really, really, really don't want to get sick. If I do, I'll have to reschedule the testing which I already paid $70 to do and this Sunday is the ONLY time this entire year that the testing company will be coming to my area. If I have to reschedule, I will have to pay more to cover travel costs in addition to trying to get time off work.



Oh Kristin! I remember you were getting sick one other time, too!

Thanks, Euty. I think you're right. I know that's part of why I got so warped in the marriage. Everyone that I was around (which was only his family) acted as though he and his behavior were perfectly reasonable. I eventually came to believe that the problem had to be me since no one thought he had any problems. If that could happen to me, of course my kids are going to think they're the problem unless I tell them the truth.

I got it...and I do believe I saw the episode where this was said - it was in the cornfield, right?


As for coffee mugs...I like large capacity mugs with large handles that I can slide at least 3 fingers through to hold - my hands don't have the strength they used to, so I need a handle that you can really get a grip on.

My current mug can hold about 1/3 of a 12-cup pot of coffee...perfect. So I can honestly say I drink one cup of coffee a day...isn't that how it works?

No, Connie Smith did the one liner alone. I think the episode was made in 1970 and she sang "Seattle" (the bluest skies I've ever seen are in....).

Stan Hitchcock was also on the show & sand "Honey, I'm Home". Stan had a nice voice but seemed to drop off the planet sometime in the 70s.
