DR Vixmom, wow what adventures you've been having. Hopefully you will get your car fixed soon.

Btw, i cannot believe you went in and found a dress to wear to a wedding the same day. That is impressive.

Rehearsal dinner drama:

When I was growing up my parents belonged to a potluck group of 5 couples, one of whom lived in East Lansing. The wife in that couple died a few years ago and my mom has been talking ever since Rob and Mary Linda became engaged about inviting the widower to be her "date" for the wedding. She finally called him on Saturday afternoon and thought he said he'd come over for the rehearsal dinner. She waited by the elevator like a teenager and he never arrived. All the young people felt so bad for her and she was concerned he'd had an accident or something. Well, she told me he called yesterday and explained that he'd gone to the wrong hotel. She was greatly relieved.

I can't imagine a classroom without a map! In second or third grade we learned the states the capitol and where it was. As I recall I already knew most of them. Of course there are a lot of people from both coasts who still can't identify all the states in between the coasts.

AND kids aren't even being taught how to write cursive anymore.

What's the world coming to??

[Did my changing the font on the word "cursive" work...or does it only show on my computer??]

that is so cool
the cursive I mean not that kids are not taught it

DR Jennifer, there are circumstances when you can retract a bid and I could fib and do it, but the truth is I just took a chance bidding on two of the same thing. I'm going to let it go. I can always sell one of them and who knows which one i'll like better

So sad that she spent the rehearsal dinner worried about her date or feeling stood up. Glad it was an honest mistake, but still it's sad

DR Vixmom, I wish 1) she'd called him sooner, and 2) she'd let me talk to him after I dialed the number for her. She's pretty sharp for a 92-year-old, but doesn't always get the details straight.

Ginny · « **Reply #310 on:** September 07, 2011, 07:44:21 PM »

DR Cillaliz - I don't think she let it ruin her evening, but it would have been nice for her to see him. Of the 5 couples, there's only 1 couple left. There are 3 widows and the East Lansing widower. These people were like extended family because we and they were all from somewhere else without a lot of blood relatives around. Come to think of it, there were 6 couples (add another widower...)

Ginny · « **Reply #311 on:** September 07, 2011, 07:46:41 PM »

In other news - Mary Linda has changed her last name on Facebook!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #312 on:** September 07, 2011, 07:56:22 PM »

I had my physical yesterday. All I know at this point is my blood pressure is very good and since I've hit the 50 I have to find out if my insurance covers colonoscopy screening. Oh Joy. My doctor now gives results by email.

Welcome 46 guests. I see a bunch of them are busy printing topics. What's that about?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #315 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:11:18 PM »

Oh my, I passed a milestone 50 posts ago and didn't even notice. At least I dont' remember noticing

Too bad you can't click and see which post the guests are reading

Why print them? I guess our conversations here must be exciting to someone.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #318 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:17:45 PM »

Cillaliz · « **Reply #319 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:20:33 PM »

YEAH!!!! I've been out bid, That worked out well. Now I get a saxaphone that looks like one a kid used in school and took pretty good care of. I can't wait. I had a saxphone I got for $60 when I was in high school and learning all the woodwinds. When I decided to give up being a music major I sold it for $60 to a kid starting out. I've always wished I had kept it. Now I get one again!!!

Laura · « **Reply #320 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:20:38 PM »

I agree, DR Vixmom. Mary Linda wore her mother's wedding gown from 1982. Ironically, she's one of the few who could get away with wearing the current strapless gowns, but she chose the heirloom look.
