Cuck the Fardinals. :P

I think a good sports rivalry is fun, so long as it's kept in a good-hearted spirit. If it turns bitter, where's the enjoyment in that?

We'll be taking our boys to Wrigley this year for the first time, where the atmosphere is usually great. I can't wait!

Good luck to everybody who is trying to get healthy. That's the key - getting healthy. How you feel physically is the most important thing since we all have different weights that are our ideal. I struggled with being overweight as a kid and young adult. I grew up with Depression era grandparents wh...

That's funny - not what you'd expect from a happy banana.

Did you know, a banana is a plant, not a tree?

Great thread! First pic is me (far left) with my cousins recently from my aunt's 70th birthday part. Second and third pic is a sundress dress I made from a 1958 vintage pattern (fourth pic). I'm ready for summer! http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n16/TheOldSchool_2006/70th%20B-Day%20Party/AuntMary-...

something to keep in mind if you are planning a first trip to the BVIs, they are truly a sailing paradise ( not the giant cruise ships but much more for bareboat or crewed charters). Much of what they have to offer is set up for, and best experienced from the perspective of a well appointed sailboa...

I have everything I want and need...

apart from some little gadgety type things.

I really want a bias tape maker (for sewing) and perhaps a few specialty feet for my sewing machine.

Otherwise, I'm good!

If you are going with a crewed charter stick to the owner/crew boats you will be a guest in their home and they treat the boat and you better. I second that. That's what we did, although we didn't live on the boat. However, my ex owned it and ran it very professionally as a business. I'd also recom...

What a fun plan! And it's very tempting - we may participate! Our anniversary is also in April and 2011 will be 15 years! I personally don't have first hand experience with the bare boats. I was a bit spoiled when I lived down there since my man at the time was a charter boat captain. He had a 51' M...

Puppies

Why is that although I have five chew bones in the house, the puppies insist on wanting the one the other has? :lol: They are such good friends! The Lab turned one in June, the Sheltie is ten months old. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n16/TheOldSchool_2006/miscellaneous/IMG_0993.jpg http://i108....

I like both and enjoy the change of seasons! While I loved my three years in the Virgin Islands, it was exceptionally hot and muggy in the summer. When I lived in England (for eight years), the climate was temperate, rarely getting either particularly hot or cold. I enjoy the snow. It's fun to see t...
