That's lousey, and I understand your frustration. I STILL have to close out the forum completely a few times, mostly every time I log in. It's the script in some of the ads that is so annoying and freezing up my computer. I asked for assistance, and that can't be fixed, apparently, as whatever ads support this site are here to stay. This never happened in the past. So, sometimes I can deal with it and other times when I have to close out of the site because of the script, I just don't bother to log back in.

I'm sorry for our issues, sometimes, like this morning I just couldn't take it anymore. So frustrating. Magic told me I need a new computer....seriously I don't have any issues on the various sights I visit!

That's a very unique wish -- a gazebo. But to each her own, I guess. You must be bummed that the ratty old car is blocking the view. (Kind of like the BAH in front of the theater . . .) :D

So my hammock of about 4 years ripped the other day to the point I was afraid it was unsafe so hubby ordered me new one with next day delivery. Even though it is cloudy I'm trying to enjoy it. It has a different fit than my old one. I guess the dog and I will just have to adjust.

Nice tan, and socks! I'm never without socks! My feet get really cold without them!;)

Sympathy like for your mom. :(
My pop is also 82, and mom is 76.
They're still both very active and healthy, but, you just never know when that will change.
Heck, I don't know when it will change with me... :cyclops:

Yes, my Dad went downhill fast, with lung cancer. The doctor punctured the lung with out cancer during sedation. He lived only a short time after that.

Yes, and my dad had a series of mini-strokes last year...I don't know how many as he refused to go to the doctor. Then he had one in the bank and the bank ladies called an ambulance so he was FORCED to go to the doctor. He lives alone in the middle of nowhere and I worry about him a lot.

I'm so sorry you have to worry about this issue. It's so hard when parents get older. My first stroke happened in my mid 50s without warning. I lost my hearing in my left ear. High blood pressure was the cause. I'm on blood pressure meds, so all is good. My Doctor keeps track of me every 6 month's. I hope your dad is going to the Doctor at least every 6 month's or more. I hope he is on blood pressure meds. I will pray for him. If appropriate for you.

Today, hubby and I drove up to Maine to go see an intertribal pow wow of some Maine tribes and some Canadian tribes. We had a great time watching the dancers, drummers and singers. I loved watching a "fancy dancer" Native American; his regalia was spectacular. Hubby got a few pix of him with his phone camera. The vendors were also very nice and I bought a pretty red leather necklace with a silver attachment. All the jewelry was handmade and was reasonably priced as well. It was a really nice atmosphere of people.

After the pow wow, we went to a country farm stand nearby, and I bought a bunch of fresh veggies and some blueberry flavored milk! YUM!! :hungry:

I never even THOUGHT to change it. So yes, I gave her the real one. I am not very good at deception. Our church also used to do a cookbook, and my mom thought it was hilarious that someone else had the exact same poppyseed bread recipe as she did that everyone wanted, and it was in the cookbook, but no one knew it. So everyone had access to it the whole time and didn't know it, and my mom would make batches of the stuff at Christmas and give a loaf to each of our friends, who would then hide it from their husbands and children so they didn't have to share. And the whole time, they could have made it themselves. (the secret is in the glaze...orange instead of lemon)

That poppy seed bread sounds great, I've always had it with lemon or almond flavoring but orange would be good too.

You had a wonderful experience , and I'm so glad for you. I would love to see an authentic pow wow. Hubby and I both have Native American grandparents. On one of his jobs, while working for the Navaho Nation, he was asked to attend a ceremony in the sweat lodge. With the tribal leaders.

Thanks it was a little chilly in my house today (and yesterday) so the socks were on. I typically don't wear socks in the summer if I don't have to as I wear them all winter! Although since our hardwood floors were recently redone and now smoother I have had fun "skating" in my socks on them.:)
