everybody. The topics, ideas, & friendly "conversations" here the past two days have been SO enjoyable for me to read. I have loved finding out about everyone's collections & special belongings. Most of the things in my home that I truly love are special to me More...

Jerry - maybe that's their way of saying they only have distributors in big cities!!!

(Wait a minute, that doesn't make sense. We have one here!)

Jerry - try this site: http://www.roadbikereview.com/cat/latest-bikes/hybrid-bike/electra-bicycle-company/PRD_291016_5672cr x.aspx

These are reviews of the Townie 21 (21-speed)

Hi, Kathy! I am SO glad that your kitchen is moving along on schedule! I'll have to hire Rob as contractor when we redo our kitchen!!

Good mAen to everyone!

Whales are interesting creatures!

Shiela - Happy Birthday to your husband!

Jane, this week had been the most exciting week of the whole process. As we speak (or should I say type!) Rob & the electrician are putting in the wall oven - it's going to be a VERY tight fit. They have already put in the induction cooktop & the drawer microwave. I have never in my More...

Good afternoon to all! That's a good action photo today!

Maybe Rob should come here and take over as Project Manager. We might see some movement. This will be the first time I will have a new kitchen but some of the appliances are staying although judging by the noises from the washer and the way it 'walks' across the floor when spinning it may have other ideas.

I wonder how many people on this site have ever heard a humpback whale sing? Check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo2bVbDtiX8

42 more days......

Kathy - You new kitchen sounds great!

you = your

Hey, Mo, I like that idea! I keep telling Rob he could become a general contractor. But I'll have to come along to supervise & lend my expert advice Actually, I will think of you often in my new kitchen. The wall mural I picked for over the cooktop is a scene overlooking a vineyard. More...

I'd like to back track to yesterday, and respond to Ian about emails to Seniors Care Centres, and to people suffering dementia. I believe one of the biggest concerns from care giver facilities would relate to privacy and confidentiality. If a senior is able to access their own email on a common More...

all - a rather sad sentimental day today as I sold my husband's baby today to my next door neighbor. Lot's of memories. I posted a photo of the black beauty on my page. It was made for Germany, only a few are even in the United States. It took me almost a month to decide to More...

A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat. "I'm the greatest hitter in the world," he announced.
Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed.
"Strike One!" he More...

Also, Mo, I wanted to tell you that I loved your story about your BIL giving away his paperweights. What a lovely idea! My daughters & I sometimes laugh about all the "stuff" I have in my house. I am so sentimental it's hard for me to get rid of ANYthing! I know very well that my More...

Stssssss! Hot car, Eve!
I can see why it was your husband's 'baby'! And I can only imagine how hard it was to give up when it brings back all the memories, too. Someone else will now treasure it, but you will still have your memories.

Eve, I'm sure that was very hard for you. Like I said it's not the THINGS, it's the people they remind you of. But I'm sure your husband will be glad to have someone you know (I assume your neighbor is a good guy?) take over driving & caring for his "baby" & hopefully, loving it as much as he did.

CG: A very intelligent kid!
Kathy: I have a friend with the other half of your salts & spoons collection! Darn! She has a daughter, too!
Let me know when your daughter schedules the garage sale!

HI all! Interesting day hearing about all the things you've inherited. André, I believe I saw a similar programme to the one you were talking about - the effect of the music on those sufferers was minimal at first, but soon grew and the final result was impressive. They don't get better, but their lives seem infinitely happier.

Yesterday's riddle answer was the Sydney Opera House - only two aussies came up with the correct answer - where are they all??

I tried to post a "controversial" topic and ended up in the naughty corner...

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Precious "things" I got from my mom: her pasta making machine, her Hungarian cookbooks with favourite recipes from her friends written in her handwriting, and the gear for making noodles for homemade soup. Plus a MixMaster from the 50s, turquoise, with the accompanying cookbook. In the More...

Oh Cathy all the cookbooks that were my mums all have annotations in the margins. I also found a hand written recipe which bears the note 'this was written by SPF' SPF being my great grandmother. It is for a steamed suet pudding. BTW I have over 200 cookbooks! Including one I edited. Does that count as a collection?

Yes, Mo, it does - and I have one too!

Do you use them or read them. I take them to bed sometimes. Either them or gardening books or jewellery books.

Just about time for me to knock off and go home - hopefully, to sleep. Had another night of feeling yuk, and we're meant to be going to Sydney this evening.!!

2:16, all.

So funny -- so true! REALLLLY Good!

Who was lucky enough to go whale watching and I would love to know where? Was it on our side of our world? Seeing a whale is on my bucket list of things that I want to experience in my lifetime. Can't explain why except that I want to see a species of living animals that has been on this Earth More...

Aimee - While I didn't take this photo, I've been Whale Watching many times. Off the coast of California, Oregon, Alaska & in Hawaii.

Inherited items? I have a house full. A collection of antique clothes, family photos back to the 1850's(One printed on glass), furniture, including the dining room suite with grandmother/grandfather chairs and the day bed(avatar), the china used in the 1930 guest house,treadle sewing machine(1910)mangle and hand operated washing machine, the list goes on and on.

When did it become standard behavior in applauding a performance for audience members to go "woo-hoo" in a high-pitched voice? Has woo-hoo replaced "bravo"?

I'm trying to do Fiona's puzzle. Anyone else having a problem with the Z?

September is the time for whales,
when the great ones rise and dance
on a sea so blue that kings may not have it.

I have seen them, on those fire days and diamond nights, and asked if I might follow.

Their rumpled laughter warned of death,
and sad, I turned my ship to home.

I like that Ian. There is some of it I do not fully appreciate but the imagery and hint of experience is great.

Eve - know how you feel. I had to sell my beloved '66 Stang after the bushfires, but her new owner has a few of them in Perth and uses them for weddings etc. I have just put a pic on my page.
