Hmmm, I wonder if in the future I will still be lamenting the watch I lost while hiking in Canada, or my mother's black pearls. At least they weren't valuable money wise, just special to me.

My sister's best find today was Mom's wedding ring. For their 25th anniversary, our parents designed her a new ring using her engagement diamond, a diamond her father had given her (he died when she was in high school), and 8 or 10 tiny diamonds from her Eastern Star ring. It is stunning, but she stopped wearing all her rings when she lost so much weight she couldn't keep them on. We thought she'd stowed them away someplace special, but the wedding ring was just thrown in with some junk and a couple of her other special rings were in with some costume jewelry. We've finally convinced her that if she thinks something is valuable it shouldn't be in her room.

WOW. Who will keep the ring?

It sounds beautiful.

Not sure, DR Jane...

It is a shame it isn't being worn.

Elmore, why did you ask on the Airbnb? Is the neighborhood OK?

I'm going to have lunch with Peter Filichia while I'm in the city. I have exchanged emails with him for years, so that promises to be fun. And I'm getting together with a friend I used to work with when we lived in Catskill, N.Y.

Those who have seen any of the current shows on Broadway, are there any I should seek out while I'm there? I have one recommendation for Anastasia, which I do want to see.

What's your favorite dish to take to a potluck?

John G. · « **Reply #106 on:** January 16, 2017, 07:41:49 PM »

I can't decide on what to take to one at work later this week.

John G. · « **Reply #107 on:** January 16, 2017, 07:43:01 PM »

I found a recipe for a blackberry salad with feta cheese and pickled onions that looks really good. But it's probably not what people at work would eat.

I have Verizon for the cell phones (the three here are on a "family plan"). Landline is still Frontier who took over the AT&T stuff here.

Started with Cingular then jumped to Verizon ten years ago because they had the best and most complete coverage where we needed it. For all I know, that could have changed by now.

Courtesy of Verizon we are now in possession of four useless paperweights

This Gotham Salad from Bergdorf Goodman looks really good.

Vixmom, can you sell them? I've seen used phones on eBay, even phones locked to a specific carrier. Might be an option for you, especially since you have four of them. Just a thought.

I'm sorry but that sentence, in all its glory, gave me just the laugh I needed.

Got my Airbnb for New York. It's on 10th Avenue.

10th Avene and what street?

Between 34th and 35th.

You will be very close to The Little Pie Shop and to a DR

I don't know. Paperweights can be useful -- as weapons, doorstops, regifts. Are they all branded with Verizon logos?

Oh no they are the AT&T phones we arrived with. The young woman behind the counter had four pat answers for every question
