Good hopes and best wishes to everyone here. I enjoy reading everyone's story's and what's going on in your lives, sad or happy! I apologize if I'm not friendly and express my condolences or give kudos to specific people. I have a feeling that's what leelane911 is getting at...so with that said...
Rave: My BF asked me if I'd say yes if he asked me to marry him. He's moving in by the end of the month with his 3 kids and we're breaking the news to them tonight, hopefully it will means smiles for all 5 of them! I smell an engagement ring on Valentines Day :-) Rant: 1 bathroom and 4 bedrooms just aren't enough! Rave: Room to expand! Rave: Future step-daughter's birthday and we're all going out to dinner tonight to celebrate - then surprise her with a set of drums she's been dying to have! Happy Valentine's Weekend to all! |
Rave: I am moving soon
Rant: I have to PACK before I move Rave: My local art store has a 50% off sale on canvases tomorrow and I am going to stock up Rant: I will actually have to paint on all those canvases ! (actually not a rant of course :-) |
Patrick!!!!
Check out www.clinicaltrials.gov for info on current clinical trials for Alzheimers. There are lots of interesting things going on, and the only way we as a society can advance the science and work towards an actual cure is if people participate in these trials. Just something to think about for future generations....(and maybe help yourselves now too.) |
Can I have your son's life, Scarlett? Just kidding. I love my own... but wouldn't mind a little India and Paris thrown in. :-)
Raves: 8th anniversary coming up. The best 8 years of my life. Great weather for flying over the city yesterday with a favourite relative and best husband in the world. Kimamom: Aw, chicks - what a nice harbinger of spring. Reminds me of the time when I was a kid and one of our bantam hens disappeared. Many days later she paraded out with a batch of chicks. It was Easter Sunday. |
Ani: The baby being thrown from the car turned out to be a fabricated story, thank goodness. Let's hope he finds a good loving family.

LOL April, <b>I</b> want my sons life!
Happy Birthday wishes to KK ((L)) Bighugs to that boy :D and babyboykelly ((^)) Patrick, I am so sorry to hear the news. We have been through something similar, it is not easy, holding on to all the good memories helps. Talk to the Alzheimers Assoc people, get lots of advice from the experts. And feel free to talk to all of your friends! Iregeo, I second that!! LOL TravelerGina, you are gonna LOVE Montreal :) |
Before I post my rant and rave -- to leelane911: I think you and all of us can just go ahead and imagine that if your FFR&R isn't full of heavy stuff, there's an implicit "Rave: I'm not having to deal with heavy stuff this week; Rant: some of the rest of you are" post -- we can all assume you posted that, and we can all imagine we've posted that if we don't have heavy stuff.
This is a community, as we all know, and that's part of being able to post and read every week -- this is sort of our collective blog. It's all part of the pattern. That said: Rant: Patrick, you're having a heavy week. I almost did, but --- Rave: the mammogram call-back was nuthin' -- 36 hrs. of panic, esp. since I'm watching 2 very close cousins deal with the least and the worst this awful disease can do. Rant: about those cousins, but ALSO it's cold again. Rave: Valentine's is coming and there seem to be some nice plans in the air. Rant: the pluber didn't come yesterday, or this morning, or this afternoon. Says it'll be Monday. Fortunately, we have Alternatives. Rave: have Italy plane, train, and hotel stuff pretty well nailed down, can now start collecting useful ideas re: sights, restaurants, etc. :-D |
Pluber = plumber, of course. (PREVIEW, Cass, preview!)
|
Sam, how exciting!
Patrick, keep your chin up. It must be awfully hard to deal with so many issues at once. Cassandra, great news on your test! |
Patrick
I pray for God's Blessings of peace to you, your partner, and your Mom. |
Rave: Having a special dinner with sister and BIL and my twin nephews this evening. They are visiting from the UK. A surprise for all of us :)
Rave: My youngest son will be joining us this evening :D The oldest will come home from Boston next week to see them before they head back home (that means I get to see him too!). Both boys have missed their Auntie, Uncle and cousins very much. Hang in there Patrick ((f)) Best birthday wishes to both young and old! Way to go Bonnie! Scarlett, you must be beside yourself with excitement just anticipating seeing your son in a few short weeks! Have a fabulous weekend, everyone ((l)) |
Last Rant: The horrors of biology.
M (MD, etc.) |
Sam-5 kids is that a rant or a rave??LOL just kidding. Congratulations and I wish you motherly wisdom and marital bliss!
Patrick I am sorry about your partner.. Cassandra: glad your mammogram is normal. I have heard of so many people having breast cancer lately. I turned 40 and it seems I suddenly know more people my age developing this disease. Best wishes and prayers to your cousins. Rave: it's friday. Rant: runny nose for me and the kids have basketball at 8pm...uggh. |
Rant: Week 18 on the 6 to 8 week swimming pool construction. Rave: Going to New Orleans in the morning for 4 fabulous nights. It's been over a year since our last trip, and I am soooo looking forward to being there again! :D |
Rant: I'm in Bangkok and I was sick in my hotel room all day on Friday. Ugh
Rave: It is now Saturday morning here and I feel 100% better and am ready to shop til I drop today. |
Final Rave: The DPD found SO's car in the drive way of a burnt out house - intact, but with nothing left in the trunk and glove box.
M Really FF here. |
Rant: Larry La Prise who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died this week at 93. His family has been having a very difficult time. They tried to place him in the coffin left foot first and it's been a struggle ever since!
A good weekend and a Happy Valentines Day to all! |
Rant: This site's new color layout. BLECH.
|
PamSF, I have tears on my face, I am laughing so hard.
"that's what it's all about" |
Patrick - I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. Please know you're being thought of fondly by this member of your "Fodors family" - we may be strangers in one sense but I think many of us have become friends in another.
