John G, another congrats to your nephew. I'm a big believer in scholarship awards; I think they really help to build self-esteem and keep young people motivated.

I believe my sister is quite the motivator.

Ah. Well then, your nephew will feel rewarded for his efforts.

Cilla, my rule of thumb when I had to purchase a larger size was to not buy anything too nice. I didn't want to feel bad about giving it up when I lost weight. I also keep a few of the larger items in my closet--just in case. 

I'm pretty much the same.  I have a few nice things that fit ok. They are still the old size but fit well enough for now. It was the basic casual "comfortable" stuff that was too tight.  I only got a few things.

I just finished a wonderful dinner of Dutch lettuce.  It's something my grandparents used to make (and yes they were Dutch).  It's basically wilted leaf lettuce with chopped hard boiled egg and boiled potatoes in it.  I add onion and chopped ham to the frying bacon before adding the vinegar and a little sugar.  It tasted like summer as I watched the snow pile up outside

MEGA coping vibes to DR ELMORE for the bathroom ceiling repairs this coming week. I hope it isn't too awful and is over quickly.

Thanks, DR Jeanne! I went down to see the super, and he's out today. I will proceed to remove things tonight, and wait to see what happens tomorrow morning.

I'm reasonably sure I'll be able to stay awake for tonight's episode of CALL THE MIDWIFE, but will probably crash before the season premiere of MAD MEN.  Looking forward to sleeping on our TempurPedic mattress instead of the lumpy soft one with the squeaky box springs at the Courtyard by Marriott in Springfield.

Watched two documentaries tonight and may go for a third.  First was Crazy Love, a really disturbing doc about love gone nutty.  And then a doc about two obsessive Tiffany fans - that was even more disturbing and even more so because the filmmakers seem to have no point or point of view - they just point and click.  One of them, the one with Asperger's, I remember very well from two of the Ray Courts shows I did where I sat either next to Tiffany or in close proximity.  He came up and talked to me for quite a while - I think Nick was there and will probably remember.  I have a photo of Tiffany and I together - have to go find it.

Ronnie Reagan didn't seem to have the same number of syllables as what you were replacing, but I am sure you'll make it work, bk.
