Thanks DR CILLA LIZ.  There is a Retro  Type microwave that I really liked.....with dials instead of push buttons....but it wasn't quite the right size for my kitchen.



I saw this at my local BJ;s and was VeRY tempted  but was really too small for us and there was no reason to buy a new microwave

UPS arrived at 5:30.  That's 2-6 hours later than he generally shows up. And it was a different driver.

as a former UPS driver I suspect that  your guy had a day off and his route was split off and different "splits" were given to other drivers to pickup  hence the change in time

 ;D
We used to have a sink in the dressing room that wasn't connected to the water.  Some guy asked me what it was....I said it was the Godot sink - turn it on and see what happens.

He turned the tap and waited and waited and waited.....and I had to explain it to him.....he never did laugh.

I did!

Me too.


me too!   ;D

I am laid up. Yesterday, I was arising from a little nap on the sofa when my left leg wouldn't hold my weight and I took a tumble. I tried to catch myself, which of course meant that I now have a sprained wrist in addition to a sprained ankle. I'm confident that nothing is broken, but my ankle sure is swollen. I thought about going to an urgent care center, but aside from an X-ray there is little they can do and I don't want to have to hobble a long way or sit around, waiting, for an hour or more. So I am iced and bandaged, taking aspirin and MSM (a natural anti-inflammatory) and Arnica. I don't feel like moving from this sofa, which of course is how this happened in the first place.

My neighbor downstairs brought me ice yesterday, as I had none on hand, and the gardner came upstairs to pick up my garbage so I wouldn't have to navigate the stairs.

All is improving, and I can now even type a bit using my left hand.

Healing vibes to Jeanne

Good evening, all.

Haven't caught up much, but I did want to send vibes of comfort to TCB and an echo of the statement that you should never listen to the wrong people on that stuff.

And vibes to Jeanne after her fall.

I think Jodi should do life without parole and what she did was terrible.  That being said, I can't imagine what it must feel like to have your attorneys file motion after motion to get off of your case.  They are supposed to be your champions and they don't even want to be there.  Unless there is some terrible ethical conflict, I think it's outrageous

We just have a few hours to wait - then we will know.  Her attorneys advised her on several matters and she ignored their advice - I don't think they have much reputation left....this would be their second co-client on Death Row....but they are doing what they can to distance themselves from her, I think.



Maybe they should release her from jail with the stipulation that she must marry O. J. Simpson.  It would save the state a lot of money.

Thank you all for the vibes, the hugs, and the good wishes.  My therapist has said for many months that she didn't see the progress needed for me to walk again without a walker.  The U of W doctor agreed with her.  He said that if I was going to be able to walk with a cane or without a cane, I would have showed signs of it by now.  In other words, there will be no day in September that I will wake up and suddenly be able to walk.

I only have ten visits with a therapist left in 2013 through my insurance policy.  For now, I will hold on to them.  If the therapist hadn't suggested we end the sessions, I would have suggested it myself.  I just can't afford to keeping paying for sessions when I can do the same thing for myself at home.  I will keep doing my exercises at home and we will see what we shall see.

And I will never walk alone as long as I have all of you.

George, are you in or not?  If not (I mean, if you can't see photos or make posts), please send me your log-in information (username and password) and I'll forward it to them and they can fix it for you.

I logged in with my information and it shows that I'm logged in, but it just doesn't seem like I'm logged in.  I'll PM you my info.


Oh, go ahead and give us all your password.  We are all friends here.  I am sure the 5th Dimension lady would ever misuse that information.

Healing vibes to you, Jeanne.  I will say a special prayer for rapid healing.  I had no idea that Monosodium glutamate was helpful for healing.

Cilla, if you ever hear a knock at the door, and when you look thru the peephole and see a little triangle waving in the breeze; be very careful about opening the door!

Very nice, DR JRand!  As for the black or stainless steel appliances - either one will show EVERY spot...

DR GINNY you are assuming I have spots in my kitchen.

Doesn't everyone?  We had a stainless steel sink in our previous house and the water spots drove me crazy!

I had that problem too until I figured out you could  cover them up with a thin layer of dirty dishes   ;D


...........And dust!

I'm sure they are also wondering how she'll pay them. Now that she's guilty, if I'm right, she cannot be paid for her story, and their bill for defending her must be enormous.

They are court appointed.  The state is paying them $225 per hour

Not like I should be.  AACB is done until September.  I do need to practice for Ice Cream Days.  I'm still interested, just pretty caught up in transitioning my practice into just immigration.

Now I'm only interested in going to sleep.   Tomorrow I'm going to the eye doctor and will pick out some new glasses.  I have lots of time when I don't see so well out of these.  Don't know if my eyes are getting worse or if it's just the glasses.   I'll find out tomorrow.  I like to get new frames every two-three years and it's time
