Rave -and a BIG rave - I'm in New York visiting my daughter and son-in-law and my nearly-one-year-old grandson. He is so utterly, captivatingly adorable that I can barely leave him alone long enough to rave about him! He hasn't seen me since last Christmas, but seemed to recognize me immediately and reached for me as soon as I walked into the house. His mommy says he's done this with all of her family members - aunties and uncles and cousins - but not with anybody else. I get to babysit this morning while Mommy and Daddy go to work. Then, I'm off to the city for some serious shopping. It's going to be an amazing weekend. :)

Rant: Someone who thinks it isn't Friday morning in a different time zone just because it is Thursday where they are.

Question: Should the FFR&R be posted ONLY after its Friday in say Hawaii?

seetheworld Oct 22nd, 2004 04:35 AM

Rant: Telling other people what and when to post.

Rave: I have two gorgeous Macoun apples in my lunchbag that I handpicked last weekend at the orchard down the road.

Rave: Fall in New England. Nothin' like it.

Rant: "Let us keep this to one posting" - please. This is so not your thread. Who appointed you the keeper? Go supervise Richard, or call Sheridan.

Rant: H and I trying to decide whether to adopt a sweet little 7 y.o. Shih Tzu girl from the RISPCA. We both work (gone almost 10 hours, but we might be able to stagger our skeds), but I love and miss dogs and might be able to come home most of the time for lunch. We like to travel, but I want some companionship for when H is gone. I want what's best for this little girl, but I also know it'll break my heart to say no. Aaargh! I am so distracted by this I'm barely getting any work done!
This would be easier if we were cat people...

Have a great weekend, all!
