Good morning! Well, my computer is holding at the moment, so I'm venturing a few replies while I can.... Borrowed from Wiki - I googled "sinister handed" and Google's first suggestion was Left-handedness - Wikipedia. ;) "There are many colloquial terms used to refer to a left-handed person, e.g. "southpaw" or "goofy". Some are just slang or jargon words, while other references may be offensive or demeaning, either in context or in origin (e.g. the British "cack-handed"). In more technical contexts, 'sinistral' may be used in place of 'left-handed' and 'sinistrality' in place of 'left-handedness'. Both of these technical terms derive from sinestra, a Latin word meaning 'left'.[6]" "Meanwhile, the English word sinister comes from the Latin word sinestra, which originally meant "left" but took on meanings of "evil" or "unlucky" by the Classical Latin era. Alternatively, sinister comes from the Latin word sinus meaning "pocket": a traditional Roman toga had only one pocket, located on the left side for the convenience of a right-handed wearer.[citation needed] The contemporary Italian word sinistra has both meanings of sinister and left (the masculine adjective for sinister being sinistro). The Spanish siniestra has both, too, although the 'left' meaning is less common and is usually expressed by izquierda,[11] a Basque word that made its way into Portuguese too. In Portuguese, the most common word for left-handed person, canhoto, was once used to identify the devil, and canhestro, a related word, means "clumsy" (sinistro means only "sinister"). Furthermore, in English, the expression "To have two left feet" refers to clumsiness in the domains of football or dancing." See ya'll elsewhere....! Josh

Marie--You eat CG? Oh how funny that I picked that plant for you. Beth-- the nursery is in Crawfordsville, IN. here is their web page davidsongreenhouse.com I had one of there catalogs fron 2002 that I had been hanging onto... Thinking sometime I would get there. Thanks all for the good wishes. I DO feel better. If anyone is working on the decision I just had to make about a hysterectomy, let me say "except for the first few days it's been a piece of cake." Of course if they had made a big fat incission it would be a different story, I'm sure. Now I just have to be so careful not to do anything I'm not suppost to do, like digging, pulling, picking things up. The wind blew my banana tree over on Monday morning. After the storm blew over it turned out to be a beautiful day. It drove me crazy all day to not upright the pot and get the top out of the pond. DH took care of it as soon as he got home from work. This has been so much fun and I have so much time on my hands, I would like to do it again. I will make a new post, if anyone wants to do this again sign up there and I will match people up and send out the emails. Come on and sign up on the post JOYS OF HOUSEPLANTS. Happy Gardening to all, Joy

We went to Ireland in 2012. We used money we received as inheritance when my Mom passed. She told me shortly before she died that if there were any money left she wanted me to live out my lifelong dream of visiting Ireland. So for the kids graduation gifts, my dream, my husband for pics and my Mom's sister all went to Ireland. It was beyond my wildest dreams. We didn't go to Connemara, but I have a ring from there. I don't know how to post pics...sorry

I still have the Daily Missal that my father gave me when I made my First Communion (a looooong time ago). I have letters from my then-boyfriend when he was in Vietnam, as well as letters from guy friends who were stationed there. I have a lot of my father's military medals and memorabilia (the newspaper from the day it was announced that World War II ended, etc.). I've got my high school class ring, all of my yearbooks, and my HS diploma from graduation on June 17, 1967. I've also got my baby book, my birth announcement, my hospital birth certificate (complete with footprints). Oh, I've also got my report cards from grade school, and some from high school, etc., etc., etc. Yeah, I'm a packrat.
