Prayers for you and Dave, Drac. Glad that Dave realized something was wrong and got himself to medical attention. My brother had an event a couple years ago. He just didn't feel right, so he drove himself to the ER at 2 in the morning. It turns out he had major blockage and needed bypass surgery. He...

Very nice, Phlebas. Please convey that to the folks in the video. Lovely voice and song!

Happy New Year one and all! 2017 was not a good year but 2018 has started well...with my football team finally making the playoffs after a 17 year drought! We all partied like 1999!

That is so cute! Thanks for posting this, Drac! That little guy puts a smile on my face!

I am open for suggestions! There are only 2 boys and 10 grownups. Thanks for your suggestion, Val!

I saw that you were going to have a white Christmas this year, Drac! The local forecasters had everyone thinking we were going to get a major snowfall tonight...but the weather channel spoke otherwise, so I cautioned everyone. Thus far, the weather channel model is holding true. Should be safe trave...

The boys found their treasure...and the grown ups have decided they want to be included next year! So...I will have to come up with a way to get them all involved. That is a current puzzlement, but I'll come up with something. The evening went off without a hitch, which was nice. I'll have more cook...

I've done treasure hunts for them in the past when we've had sleepovers. Before they learned how to read, I had to draw pictures. It's a lot of fun watching them when the light bulb goes on. Of course the older boy outraces the younger to the clues, even though the younger boy figures it out first. ...

I use Yahoo as my homepage in Google and Firefox, but I customized it to provide only the news and features that I want. I use NBC news top stories, and Politico. I also have my weather, sports to follow the teams I cheer for, and a financial feature to track the stock market. Occasionally I'll visi...

Merry Christmas, Starlite! Lovely card. And I also love the Moostletoe, Val. We had already gotten a ton of snow (two feet) a couple of weeks ago. If anyone follows the NFL and watched the Buffalo versus Colts snow bowl, or got to see the highlights...I live only 5 minutes from Orchard Park where th...

Oh Danyboy...the pipes the pipes are calling!!! So good to hear from you and that you are well and happy. I just sent you a friend request on Facebook so I can start following your travels. You should be able to tell from my initials. JK

I did not know that Diat60. That's very nice to know that in a pinch I got a solid unit at a very good price! As to the steam cleaning, I'll have to let you know. I'm wondering if the use of the self-cleaning feature isn't what messes up the control board in the range. The oven hits very high temps ...

I trust everyone is still stuffed from their turkey feasts. I had a bit of a problematic Thanksgiving when my 8 year old electric range/oven decided to overheat the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving. I got an F10 error and when I opened the oven door, the smoke detectors started to go off. My roast was c...

The only "Booyah" I'm familiar with is an expression that is used, particularly by sports broadcasters after a good play. I think I heard it first on ESPN.

Very nice, Diat! I'd never seen that before. Definitely agree with the sentiment!
