We have a very full day in Cincinnati tomorrow - church, followed by a quick lunch, followed by the spring dance concert at UC (DS Rob's girlfriend is dancing and choreographing), followed by a meal with Rob and Mary Linda.

We like to take her something when we see her performances.  Last time it was flowers, but tomorrow we're taking her a shamrock plant, which looks very cute in the gift bag.

I will try to check in early, before we leave for the day.

'night!

In the year that has passed since I joined HHW, I have lost about 60 pounds, and I am planning on losing another 40-60 this year. If you  have any interest how I achieved this, I am happy to share my "secrets." :)

. . .and just how many "secrets" do you have (other than dieting) that you're willing to share?    ;)

(Is this sudden rush of testosterone on HHW honestly because of DR BrettySexySpaghetti's seemly avatar)?  ;)

I have no writing to do tonight, so I'm going to put myself to bed early for a change.

Good night!

Netflix brought me an disco of LOVE AMERICAN STYLE episodes...what memories it brought back...I had forgotten about those little short comedy scenes in between the stories and gosh, what wonderful people popped up! Van Williams, Richard Long, Ruth McDevitt, Carolyn Jones, Donna Douglas, Gary Collins, Nobu McCarthy, Claudine Longet, Red Buttons (he was hilarious!), Edward Everett Horton...but it was the theme song what really put me back in time!

Greetings one and all...

I have been busy since I returned from Utah and I have not had an opportunity to drop in to post. Work was crazy and DBF was spending his spring break up here.

He flew out this evening.

Regarding TORCHWOOD -- I have TiVoed and burned every episode to DVD to date...but still haven't watched any episodes. I assume those of you "in the know" realize that TORCHWOOD is not only a spinoff of DOCTOR WHO -- it's also an anagram of the name!



Torchwood was the original secret working title of the new series.

I like Torchwood...

Studying family history can have some unexpected results.

Anyone want to hear a shocking story?

Yes, it can JRAND...

Go for it!

I have read some funny, odd and downright scary stories. I have a few oddities in my lines...

When she was 14 years old, my grandmother used to take the interurban train from Brooklyn, Indiana, into Mooresville to babysit for two little girls.  Their mother had passed away.

One day, the father came home early and attacked her.  She was too afraid to tell anyone what happened and even continued to babysit for the little girls.

A few weeks later, she met my grandfather, and a couple of months later, they became engaged.  It was then that my grandmother had to tell him that she was going to have a baby....and she told him the whole story.

My grandfather walked into town with a baseball bat and dispatched the guy up side the head.  The guy survived but soon moved away.

My aunt the child of the attack.....does NOT know the story....

And so there you are.   Don't look if you don't want to find out.  Sad tale of long ago with repercussions to many many folks.

Shocking....

A friend who I was helping do research found out that a relation on one of her lines was in the TN state pen for murdering several people.

I am acquainted with some one who is descended from one of the wives of Brigham young

Of course, there's the garlic diet.  Lots and lots of garlic.  You don't lose weight but you look thinner from a distance.

From a distance, you look really thin
Even though you're reeeeally not
From a distance, you've got just one chin
Even though you've go-ot a lot
