I'm here! LOL! You girls have been BUSY! I had to wait until lunchtime to log on and now it's taken me half of my lunch hour to get through all the interesting posts by everyone! No one can ever say that we don't have anything to talk about, eh? You gotta love to talk to post here it seems!

Podmom - I'm so glad you're here and healing a bit! Glad you can take time to rest and have fun watching the shows you missed. I saw Black Stallion years ago and loved it, so thanks for the pic from the movie. Thanks also for the cute kitty pic from a day or so ago and the cute puppy gif! Seeing puppies always makes me want to get one, but they're a hassle! That's why my last two dogs (Hazel and Molly) were rescue dogs, already housebroken and not the chewing up every shoe in the closet variety! We raised Ralph the basset hound from an 8 week-old puppy and he was pretty good at not chewing, but leave something on the counter and he'd snag it! He was short legged, but when he stood up he could counter-surf with the best of them.

VB - It must be difficult sometimes to understand the expressions that a lot of we Americans take for granted! If ever you don't understand some of our zany expressions, ask us, we'll be happy to give a translation!

Sorry about your computer troubles! Good that your neighbor can help you when you need it.

We had seven inches of rain in some parts of the DC metro area over the last couple of days. My sister said that her news station in North Carolina even reported our rainfall! I'm halfway between Baltimore and Washington, and we *only* had five inches! I don't think I've ever seen such hard rain for such a long time, it just never stopped. But it's sunny out now, thank G-D!

ML - Wow, I thought House was amazing last night, it left me with a dropped jaw! All except for a certain bus "pole issue" between Cuddy and House which I thought was kind of icky and think Lisa Edelstein (I think that's her name, the actor who plays Cuddy) must have been out of her mind to agree to! But that's my opinion, my hubby loved it! He's got a huge crush on Cuddy anyway. I met her bowling at the bowlathon a couple of years ago, she's so nice and so tiny! Let me know when you see the second part. I agree that it's gotten to be "germ of the week" on House. But last night's was good...

Did anyone see Bones last night?

Wen - Mother should definitely walk every day, or you're right, her muscles will atrophy and then she'll become an invalid. That scares me!

I'm glad your #2 son agreed to go to dinner with you even though he doesn't like the restaurant, that was nice of him. Glad your day turned out well.

To chime in on the Ikea conversation, I've bought lots of stuff from Ikea, I furnished my son's room in college with the Malm line of furniture. It's inexpensive, but well made and very contemporary and kids love it. It's a pain in the rear to put together sometimes though, it can be quite challenging! I love to walk through the rooms, they're so cool.

Probably had a lot more to say, but lunch time's over, so I gotta scoot!

you all!
