I googled Jitterbug phones to look at them.  I know a few people who would have liked this phone.

I saw the Gets/Chase musical. It wasn't good, but there were a couple of wonderful songs. Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations were nice, and I remember that I liked the set. For me, the major problem was that the Gets character was gay and in love with Chase's character, only the whole issue was ignored whenever the material headed in that direvtion.

It’s funny, the set is the only thing I remember!

I arrived on the 23rd and had a nice time with my family.  I managed to see everyone, except my nephew, so I’m happy about that.  Last year I only saw one of my two brothers and his family because of the historic blizzard.  My sister, former DR Kate, sends her regards to HHW!


Please send them back to Kate.

I excitedly bought a toilet bowl motion sensor light a few years ago. I loved it, but the wife found it tacky and it was metaphorically flushed from our lives.

I'm up, I'm up - only five hours of sleep or so. I'll probably try to get a bit more when I return.

Good Morning - I'm off to a post-Christmas brunch with some friends.  That's all.  Maybe more later.

I googled Glow Bowl ;D

Me, too.  Had to, actually, since I'd never heard of it.

Ordered one via Amazon.com, as well!!!

Except for one place in town, all other restaurants are closed until next week. 

I just picked up my fried chicken with fried okra and fried squash and hugh puppies.

That's 'cause today is "fry"-day, I guess.

Friday afternoon greetings!  It’s been a very exciting few days since we arrived home from Illinois.  On Wednesday our friends Katie and Mike visited and picked up a painting that we had inherited from friends of a friend and never used.  It will now hang in their bed and breakfast in Oxford, OH.

I wonder if that one place that stayed open is now going to start getting more business from people trying them this week while the others were closed.

Wednesday evening we went to Cafe 210 for dinner.  That’s the fancy new name for the dining room in the apartment building where Richard’s mother lived.  For the first year we live here we get a dinner each and a lunch each every month.  Had to use up our December tickets, so we had lunch there today, too.

Was the painting literally inherited, like after that friend of a friend passed away? 

So nice that there's a place for it now!

Also on Wednesday we received an offer on our house, which we countered.  That buyer had until 7pm yesterday to respond, but at 6pm our realtor told us a better offer was waiting in the wings.  Having not heard from buyer #1, at 7:01 she sent us the new offer, which we accepted.  I don’t want to jinx anything by sharing too many details, but we’re very pleased.

DR Freddie, the original owners have since passed on, but we acquired the painting when their son was clearing their apartment in this very retirement community before moving his parents to near his home in California.

Fingers crossed and mega vibes this works out and you have a speedy closing.

DR Ginny, I am so happy you've sold the house! Things go smoothly when you're not saddled with two dumbass brothers.

But who's bitter?
