I'm picturing little fingers coughing, leaving you unable to type.
I'm just a little nervous that I'm being a thread killer! :o

Speaking about coming unglued ....

Great suggestion but I can be stubborn. I really don't want to introduce another piece of glass sooo...... 1. I think I can finish drilling through the bowl by tackling it from both the bottom and the top. 2. There is no way I'm going to be able to drill through the 3/4 inch glass on the bottom of the vase but I'm going to try drilling a hole as deep as I can. 3. Then I will find something to act as a pin or peg and put that through the the bowl and into the bottom of the vase. I will glue the peg in place and seal around the peg in the bowl portion of the bird bath so that it doesn't leak. 4. Then I'll glue the pieces together again and let the glue cure until Spring. This is a four handed job so I'll have to wait to work on this project until future hubby has time to help. The hardest part for me will be keeping my hands off the finished piece until I'm absoluting sure the glue has had enough time to cure. I'll report back in March or April. In the meantime I have lots of other projects to work on. Thanks for again from a girl named .... Max

Fun!!! Despite my having lived in New Mexico for over 25 years, my Michigan roots showed up with almost every pronunciation (LOL). I still recall moving down to Florida in my mid-twenties and being surprised that a "soda" in Florida did not come with added ice cream, as it did in Michigan. Most of my friends there had no idea what a "pop" was. I've always referred to my tennis-type shoes as "Tennies (TEN-ees). Growing up in Michigan, flip-flops or sandals were called "zorries" (ZOR-ees). I have no idea where that one came from! I have a New Mexican pronunciation for you: instead of "Sandwich" many locals (although not all by any means) refer to it as a "Sang-wich". Even my DD's high school English Lit teacher called it that. Thankfully, this is a term we've managed not to pick up. Thanks for such a fun and interesting thread! Lynn

Physicians' Formula makes a mineral face powder with no talc. I like it a lot because it looks good, doesn't bother my allergies, and has in a well-designed container with its own brush and mirror that is small enough to fit in my purse. It is not very expensive and the quality is good. Since "aging skin" tends to be dry, I find it's best to use a good moisturizer first, before the powder. I also dab a bit of liquid foundation on my nose and under my eyes with a damp wedge sponge before applying powder. I watched a news segment this morning where they advised us to buy high-quality foundation (for the smooth consistency) and mascara, but that the cheaper brands of powder, blush and lipstick weren't much different from the high-priced ones. I like the Clinique moisturizing foundation that comes in a tube, even though it is a bit costly. At my age, I use very pale blush and go easy on the eye makeup. Speaking of cost, why are you skimping on your makeup? I think you deserve to use cosmetics that suit you, and I'll bet you could save money on something else in your budget instead.

Should I Speak to Neighbors About Septic Smell
Q
Comments (1)
Of course you should introduce yourself to them and talk to them. If someone was going to walk out in front of a car wouldn't you say something? It's easy, just go over and introduce yourself, give them your phone number in case they need to contact you about anything (prowler) and take them some cookies or a bottle of wine. Talk to them about their septic system - they may not be familiar with aerobic system.... and then mention that it smells really bad and probably needs service since it' s been vacant so long. Let them know it shouldn't smell like that when it's working properly. Also warn them about their garden. If you make it about being concerned for them - instead of how you are inconvenienced-- they will still get the idea, but it will be much better received.

I just spent an hour with a PITA client who insisted on relaying TMI about his kidney problems and bleeding rectum. I wanted to rip my ears off and now I've got a splitting headache. Happy Friday. UGH

Fighting a pinched nerve in my shoulder. Just had the tens unit on it for about 4 hours. Pain is not good as I can only take tylenol.

Started with a nice rain this morning. Did some grocery shopping, ate lunch and took a nap. Sure have been a slug today.

How was your day OAH? And not to worry about that thread killer title...I can challenge you for that position. lol

BTW, my son and his family moved to Woodstock, GA; are you familiar with that part of the state? They are loving it there after living in the Phoenix area for so long.

Hi granlan, it's wonderful to see you! Woodstock is a very nice (my opinion) suburb of Atlanta. It's far enough up I-575 to maintain a rural flavor while metropolitan enough for all of the usual stores etc... It is a bit like having your cake and eating it too!

Always good to see one of the Texas Trinity. ;)
