Wish I had seen that before I apologized to my brother-in-law.

Love it!!

Cute Carolyn,

I seems a long, long, time since, in 3D, I've dealt with anyone that ever there was a need for an apology on either side!

Maybe that's why I don't have too much to b*tch about.

I don't mean to go off topic on your thread,
BUT I will because.....
I finally have my wheelchair fixed

I finally, after dealing with the broken leg, got back to the chair. I had a good guy come pick it up, cost only $82.50 for him to give me a "dump". That is what we call a 1" drop for the bum from the back of knees. New wheelchair didn't have one and I never noticed per se, but I always had the feeling of 'falling forward' and didn't realize it was because my as* was straight across.

Test run to elevator in old chair, 45 pushes. Test run back from elevator (both trips with Dave) in new chair, 45 pushes. (used to be about 58.)

Dave is with a company I didn't know about, so will deal with them in the future.

Okay everybody....back to the N kitty

aww gee, IzzyBelle... so sweet of you to call me Cute 

And I completely understand the need for a bum drop. Whoever owned my car before I bought it musta had a heavy left-sided bum, because if I sit there for 2 long, a kink begins to form in places best left unkinked! So glad you got your chair back and with the proper tilt!

I have missed you as you've been so very quiet around here.
Thought maybe you'd called this character for computer repairs:

Oh that's so funny. I thought the cat was sitting in a litter box. I just looked and saw that it's the box to "Sorry." How funny is that !! (Picture.)

Izzy, wheelchairs are SUCH a pain. My parents were always dealing with problems with my brother's. Glad you got it fixed and found someone who looks like he's good.

Somewhere, I have one of old Sammy, wearing the glasses from my son's Mr. Potato Head... but for now -

Here's another one that tickles me:

[Certain Hope]

This old one tickled my funnybone today, in an ironic and bittersweetly true way ~ from the immortal Erma Bombeck:



During the last year, I have....

dissected my marriage, examined my motives for buying, interpreted my fantasies, come to grips with mid-life, found inner peace & outer flab,
charted my astrological stars, become my best and only friend...

I have brought order to my life,

meditated,

given up guilt,

adjusted to the new morality,

and spent every living hour understanding me, interpreting me, and loving me...



and do you know what??



I'm bored to death...

 of me!

Yup. I'm there.

Hi Carolyn,

I remember Emma Bombeck fondly.  Love this piece. 

I often don't have the best memory, but one of her stories that made me chuckle was about someone she knew who was very thin.  So thin that the buzzards were following her.     At the time, my daughter was late teens, right on six feet tall and size 4 or 6.  I can't remember, but I got a kick out of telling her Emma's story about the buzzards following thin people around. 

Thanks.

Oh, tt... I do remember that bit!  Oughtta try that one on my girly, too. Like Izzy has said... a stick person with 2 peas... LOL... oy. This is a silly day.

My Erma books are packed away and inaccessible, but I'm ready for a hearty dose of her. Gonna stop by the library today and see what I might find.

It's good to read you, tt.  Take good care.

Love,
Carolyn

PS  School begins tomorrow!  Already feels like I've been back to work for an eon, but it's all good.  xoox
