Thank you, Winfrey.

To all my manorite friends...today my Mom passed away at the age of 91. She was a beautiful Mom and taught me so many wonderful life lessons through her example of loving people unconditionally. I was fortunate to have her living with me for the past 3 and a half years. I'll miss her greatly but I k...

Glad to hear that Dave is on the mend, Drac. While your hubby's ass is in his big comfy chair, make sure you park your own and put those feet up and relax a bit. This had to be very stressful on you as well.

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!

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...
