We saw Aunt Betty a few years ago when we were summering in Wisconsin and took a little side trip to Iowa. Gabe was probably 4 or so and Zach was 2. She was still sharp as a tack, though was starting to find it harder to get around. She also kind of shocked me with several kind of racy anecdotes about my mother, her older sister.

Betty's husband, my Uncle Paul, was Dean of the Iowa Teachers' College in Cedar Falls, which is now called University of Northern Iowa.

I am going to go for the evening.....going to try out this new Sony Soundstage software that will transfer an LP to a CD.

One of the summers I was back there Uncle Paul was giving exams to some of his graduating teachers and they needed to "teach" a course to a volunteer student, so Paul volunteered me. That's where I learned to write a check (LOL) and also that in Iowa evidently "w" is sometimes considered a vowel. (The teacher had a little list with blanks where I was supposed to stick in vowels, and there was a blank left over. I knew about "y" sometimes being a vowel, but in Utah "w" is never a vowel

).

Hi

Very funny day of posts

It's raining in Ventura

I cooked today for the first time in 6 weeks.

Very sorry for your loss, DR JMK. I will be thinking about you.

Matt H. · « **Reply #187 on:** April 11, 2010, 07:31:58 PM »

I'm going to close down everything here and head downstairs to bed.

Good night!

Very funny day of posts

Guess I better clean my messy kitchen, forgot that I seem to manage to get food everywhere, including the floor and myself

But the sauces are yummy. One spaghetti sauce fresh zucchini and fresh oregano, one spaghetti sauce fresh basil and cauliflower. Very healthy and country style thick enough to eat as soup actually, no noodles required.

Goodnight everyone.

LOTS AND LOTS OF VIBES

.

And happy Monday.

I'm sorry for your loss, JMK. How nice that you have such lovely memories of your Aunt Betty. She sounds like quite a woman!

In sad, news, my beloved Aunt Betty passed Saturday morning. She was the sweetest woman I believe I've ever met. She would have been 90 this October 6--yes, she was born on my birthday, and we were both left-handed. In an unbelievable synchronicity there was another Uncle in our family who had been born on October 6 and was left-handed. Aunt Betty told me years ago that should I ever meet anyone else born on October 6 and they turned out to be right-handed I should inform them that that was incorrect.

Sincere condolences.

Whatever airlines are contemplating that silliness, they can kiss my ASS.

That should be the title of your next book:

THEY CAN KISS MY ASS

Keith doesn't want to fly to L.A. for my uncle's 90th birthday party & I'm not up to the long drive or take that much time from my PT appointments. I have considered flying alone. At the moment I'm not up to that either. I might be closer to the date.

Oh, come, and I'll take you to a nice dinner!

Sounds good except you will be in Olympia.

Only for a day. Or, if you don't go, I'll take you to dinner in Olympia

BK, there was a big article in today's Oregonian that I5 by Olympia will be "a parking lot" (the newspaper's words) on the weekends for the next 5-6 weeks due to having 3 lanes in each direction closed simultaneously. So you should plan your trip from SeaTac accordingly.

What are the options? I'm coming in on a Friday morning and leaving Saturday morning.

Happily, those who have been banned have been banned - and they, too, can kiss my ASS.

Was it the same banned ASS I am thinking of?

One can't be certain, but I'm having a hard time thinking of who else it might have been. Whoever it was can, of course, kiss my ASS.

Just to play the Non-Devil's Advocate, is it possible that the lurker just wanted to inform Mr. BIG that there were errors in his book without any real intention of causing trouble for you and/or Mr. BIG?

You also mentioned that mentions here on HHW don't show up on Google, well... I think they do. I know that I've used Google in order to track down past posts since the Search function here on this board doesn't seem to work all the time. Additionally, it's also possible for someone to set up Google Alerts for themselves or someone else.

The thing I was wondering was who would even have Mr. Big's email address to notify him so quickly.

One doesn't need an e-mail address for Mr. BIG - Facebook is everyone's friend.

Sorry to read your news DR JMK.

By the way, there's an airline talking about charging to use the bathrooms on the plane. Now, if that's not fodder for a "Urinetown" sequel.

And they can kiss mah ass in their own pay toilet.

I guess if you look up the person's name and it happens to be there. But then Mr. Big could certainly tell you who sent him the email, since facebook is not anonymous.

Jennifer · « **Reply #201 on:** April 11, 2010, 08:17:03 PM »

What would even be the point to charge for the bathroom on a plane? Does it cost the airline extra per flush?

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes to by mother! We had a great day, fried chicken at the Gingham in with my parents, brother and sister in law and friend Gretchen. They brought my mom a pyramid of thin mints with a candle on top and gave us each ice cream sundaes. (they don't serve cake)

After lunch, we went to my parents' place at the lake and I helped mom get out the outside stuff that has been in storage all winter. It took us a while, but she would have done it all herself if I hadn't been there, so I was glad to do it.

The weather was great today and she was SOOO happy to have it all done. Tomorrow her friends are throwing a luncheon party for her, so she's very pleased

Welcome six GUESTS - one of you can kiss my ASS - and I'm guessing that particular one knows exactly who they are

My condolences as well, DR JMK.

I just caught up with Thursday's episode of FLASHFOWARD and am back to liking it. This week's episode was involving, suspenseful and surprising. The character trait which I loathed in the previous episode was diluted just enough with a "Three Years Before The Blackout" scene, which softened the hardness of that particular character's arc. And, what a nice twist ending!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #207 on:** April 11, 2010, 08:34:29 PM »

Good Evening!

Oh... I guess I already said that. Anyhoo...

I think I've lost track of just how many impromptu, unexpected, unplanned naps I've taken today. Just sayin'.

So... You're not really sure who forwarded your post to Mr. BIG? But then went ahead and started accusing someone here on HHW...

Are you sure you're not paranoid?

I know, I know...

That's Our BK!
