Coffee and...Part 46...! :-D

Session #46 (Started Oct. 26, 2005)

You are QUICK! We'll be up to 200 before Christmas!

LOL...Nope! when we hit 50 I'm planning on doing a daily new thread with the date instead of the session #. It'll be SO much easier. Then we just have to "watch" the forum...and not the thread.

~julie~

Meezer, if you find one that is The Complete Guide to Country Cooking with mashed potatoes and meatloaf on the cover I want one please. Just let me know, I paid 25.00 for the last ones I got. I love this book as a wedding gift for a non cooker. It even give simple step by step on carving meat to making gravy with no lumps. LOL
Kooger I think somehow teenagers have some sort of developmental disorder that causes the brain to shut down from around the age of 13 til 21. Now some do start earlier and lord knows some never have the brain start up again. But I am hopeful mine are going to fall in the normal ranges. I still have another 10+ years of, HUH???


Cut and pasted over here from the last thread. Great Idea with the date.

Cool! Casey...how did you get that sidebar info to copy over here?
~julie~

LOL< aint got a clue. I also have no idea how to add the hyperlink to a posting either so I couldn't do that either

geuss, you guys are sooo smart, I don't know anything, still waiting for some one to tell me how to do a collage with
MariaPicasa, please!!!!!!!!!!

Casey...that's an easy one. You just go up to the top of the screen where the URL is copy the address. (Be sure you're haven't clicked on 'Skip to New' or #new will be in the address along with the link to the thread) ...then you just paste it into your post. DG's operating system will add the "hyperlink" and the "@" and do a little shortning of the original URL. No biggie at all.

~julie~

Maria, did you download the Picasa software? And if so, have you figured out how to get it to scan your drive/s for photos?

~julie~

Oh sorry lost track of so much here had kid issues! tummy ache boy.
4 hours back and forth to potty---
Tutti yes by gosh i will be getting that palm from my Mom LOL and if you notice in pet forum I am looking to get her rug too.
ROTF -on my new rug-- LOL

Maria, if you want computer help with a program, you need to go to the computer forum, or ask Gardenwife.

M5 - I will come to your defense. I also thought it was hysterically funny.

Mary E. - I downloaded it at the Food Cupboard where I work. We've got a 56K modem but the fastest connection I can get is 33,600 if I'm lucky. I also had it quite downloading a couple of times; so I may divide it up. One of my pet peeves is pages that are so dependent on images that they take forever to do anything. I reckon when I warn people and the whole page is pictures, that I can get away with it, but if it were a serious information site, I would never be happy with something that takes too long. Don't know why so many web designers seem to think EVERYONE has the latest in computer equipment or even wants the latest.

McCool - do you have any place to plant crocuses in the ground? Some of mine have been there for 35 years. They just keep multiplying and I dig up the clumps and spread them around. haven't bought many new ones though I have some for the new garden. I thought the cool weather we had this year was instrumental in keeping them nice for about a week.

Maria, thanks for the reminder about Mars. I saw it in the paper but would have forgotten. Our weather is getting progressively better over the next few days. The warmest day will be Saturday when I get my new fridge and have to figure out what to do with the contents of the old one. LOL

I think I've just figured out how to keep up with this thread and not use all my Internet time up. (It takes me up to an hour to read and respond to all or most). From now on, I open two copies of the thread - one to read and one to write in. Then I break my Internet connection and read and write as long as I want without the clock ticking. Then, reconnect and send. If you get this, it works.

Good night all.

Ann

Who wanted a copy of "Wax" for their records? I think I am allowed to Dmail it, lol!

Nite, Gracie....

Well done, ViolaAnn! I've done that before with very long threads that I wanted to read, but for which I didn't want to keep the phone line tied up.

Anne (magoobu), must I keep following you around? lol The ID Forums are on my daily list of things to read, so of course I spotted your post there. I'm afraid to start with the Pets one; already spend too much time here in the various Forums as it is. :-)

Well, when I started reading, we were still on the last post, and I thought, good, not too much reading to do, then toward the end, Julie starts another link!! So folks, I have been reading for an hour, while I was away today, you all sure chatted it up.

Maria, so sorry to hear you are in a funk again. I concur with all GOB'S go to Dr tomorrow, ask for medicine for depression, and a referral to a counselor. I suffer from SAD, in the winter months and have found that the light that is recommened is a life saver. Buy a stud, I don't know about that. As for the quote, some guys will say anything to get you in the sack. But come to think of it, I haven't had a proposition in years.

Meezer, you didn't have the exclusive on sleep last night, I slept like a log, until Mr. B. decided he wanted to go out at 5:30, but went back to bed and slept until 7:30.

Viola Ann, Liked your gardens, but since I have dial up, was hard to load, so maybe you need to break it up into 2 pages.

Digginit, I haven't seen the Simply Sleep product. Where do you buy it|? I shop Walmart, and haven't noticed it on the shelf.

Julie, if you did a System Restore, usually you have to reload all the programs that you have added.

DaisyRuffles, so glad to hear that Your dad is up and walking. If he has a strong will, it will be a short stay for him, as those people usually put all of their energy into the rehab.

Darius, and Morning Gayle, you have had posts deleted? You potty mouths!! I did not find anything offensive in the Wax post. Matter of fact I really enjoyed it.

Jasmerr, the picture of your son is just precious. He has the kindest eyes. I admire all of you who have lost loved ones, and understand the grieving process. I lost my dad in 1988, and although he wasn't a touchy-feely person, I missed him more than I could ever say. I went to his grave daily for several months, and would alternately cry and then anger came a little later, and blamed him for leaving us. There are several stages to grief, and until you have gone through them all, you will not begin to heal, and to be able to reflect on the person they were.

Sarv, please call the authorities about your MIL phone calls. They could be up to anything. It is certainly harrassment, and should be stopped at what ever level. You are thinking about streaking your hair, well go ahead and do it, but DON"T COMPLAIN HERE!! Just say it was a bad experiment and let it go at that.

Bal, and intruder? Several years ago, when times were pretty much crime free, we slept in hot weather with doors open, screens locked, but one night I woke up to see a man standing at the foot of our bed. I was so scared, didn't know whether to try to nudge DH or hope that the person would take what ever and leave. I did nudge DH and he woke and said what did you do that for? And I hissed, there is someone in the room with us. At that time the intruder spoke, and DH recognized the voice. It was a drunk cousin whose car had broken down and needed help. Well let me tell you, I spoke with blue coming from my mouth. I didn't know this person well, so just let him have it. I told him that the next time I would shoot and ask questions later. I don't think he ever visited again day or night.

Well, let me tell you about butt dragging!! DS and I went to my mother's today, and cleaned windows and put in storm windows. We moved furniture, and had some to discard. Hence a trip to Goodwill tomorrow. Since they are saying gas is going to be so high this winter, we installed the plastic, that fits inside the windows, as her house is an older one, and I am sure that there is a great heat loss there. I am going back tomorrow and install the insulation for the switch plates, and outlets too. Then she will be winterized. I commented to DS during the day, as we had way too many bumps, stubbed toes, banged elbows, blows to the head, and encounters with angry wasps, that we deserved hazardous duty pay!! Wish someone had a cam corder, as America's Funniest Videos could have had more material to review, and come to think of it, maybe a big winner. The Three Stooges or Abbott and Costello come to mind. When we were not rubbing the latest hurt, we were giggling like crazy. Have you ever tried to get a recliner upstairs, in an old house with a stairway that makes a 45 degree turn? Can anyone say STUCK!! Glad I live just down the road, as I had to make 2 runs home to change underwear from laughing so hard. Well as amusing as this may be to some, could I have volunteers to come help me out of bed in the morning? And I am expecting someone to have something on the counter, as I probably won't feel like cooking.

Well good night all, sweet fluffy dreams.

I have Picasa all my pictures are down loaded just can't find out how to do the collage tell me how.............am so tired now going to bed, night all
Maria

Maria...d-mail me tomorrow and I'll walk you through the process. It isn't too difficult.

Nitey nite, all! Sleep well!

~julie~

Ann, okay play along with the newbie here. If you have so many crocus and you leave them in the ground but they only bloom for a week what do you do with the bed for the rest of the year. I thought crocus were only buried about an inch or two deep. Doesn't that cause problems with planting other plants. In the picture all I saw was a stream of blue.

Defo, I will have chocolate chip muffins and fresh coffee on the counter for you. Try a couple aspirin in the bath water to help with tight muscles.

Good morning,

Up early for me. DH is on an early flight to Newfoundland. (Back tomorrow).

Casey, the crocus foliage dies down after a few weeks, by which time my hostas are emerging. Sometimes I dig up the crocuses while planting other things, but I just replant them. I try to get them about 4-5 inches down, but they work their way up as the new bulbs develop.

Day off today, but ...........

with DH away, I'll have to go collect grandtwins and take them to Kindermusik class. There is a flu shot clinic that I'd like to get to, and we have handbell practice tonight. Still don't have my new music for Nov. but have Christmas music. Need to make bell assignments as my group moves around instead of playing the same bells all the time. Dec. 9 gig at the American Embassy will come fast; so it's best we get working on it.

Think I'll go eat breakfast and get out to Aquafit. New swim bag - actually a horse grooming bag (I think I saw one in somebody's garden pics too) has pockets all around the outside to hold everything upright. No more leaking shampoo. LOL

Ann

Morning-first one up again?? Probably the first one in bed too!! LOL Slept pretty good last night and feel like a million bucks. Busy day ahead...

mg- send me the wax thing - I want to reread it and pass it to my sis

Defo - I have colored my hair for years!! I plop on the old cap and pull my thinning hair thru the holes with a crochet hook - smear on the bleach gook and let it set. Sometime it turns out better than others - but all in all I am happy with it. I need to abuse it so it behaves (that's what my beautician says!!) gives me body - otherwise it is flatter than a pancake. Hey - wear pantie liners!! Ya won't have to run home so often!! When my sister and I are together I have to get out the maxi ones!

I have planted a zillion crocus and they seem to be slowly disappearing instead of multiplying. We don't have squirrels, but have a ton of voles. For some reason they don't bother the muscari - I love that stuff and border my beds with clumps of it. Speaking of which, I think I need to go get some more when they are on sale.

DH and I dug out some brugs last night (oops, did I tell ya that already??) He was a good sport about it - but have 20 more to do tonight. I need some big buckets...

m5-YES I WANT SOME COOKBOOKS!! I have none of the holiday ones and would appreciate any that you can send - oh goodie oh goodie- I love cookbooks!! I've always paid full price for them - now that we know you can get them for practically nothing, you'll become my very best friend LOL

Darius- you've been pretty silent - what's happening in your life??? Tell us how Molly is. And what do you do everyday - curious minds want to know LOL

gotta bambose- finished off the lefrover meat bundles, good.

Good Morning, Every body!
It must have been the weather that freaked me out the last few days how is it I feel great this morning, after a decent, dreamless night sleep. Is it because of a crisp New England morning, 34' no humidity, some clouds and a lovely sun rise plus a sliver of the moon winking at me while I was taking a short walk with a hot cup of coffee in my hand or is it just my brain that plays dumb tricks with me?
Julie, thank you, I will d-mail you this pm, have DR. appointment at 10 AM, I think I am a fairly intelligent person but when it comes to computer stuff, even typing, I know zilch so I appreciate any help I can get and try to put it into that sometimes brainless head of mine.
When my daughter was still in HS, every day after school she'd get a phone call with dirt on his mind, she was so upset, told her next time I'll answer the phone, sure enough there he was breathing heavily into my ear with words I cannot repeat hear or I get thrown out of DG(ha ha)after I answered. I said to him, what you just heard is being recorded by the police because we complained about your calls. He hung up so fast and never called again.
Marsha, just too funny for words about you and your DS helping your mother with house duties, why do we always get such a kick out of visualizing some one having problems banging into things while trying to get the job done?
I don't know what Ann does with her crocus bed but when I plant them I also plant other bulbs or or perennials blooming at a later time around them.
Hope this morning finds you all well
Maria

Ann gets the worm this morning! Provided they aren't all frozen in the ground....more frost last night.

Sarv, I will look for the holiday cook books but I think there are several, do you want one of every one ? Answer quick!! I'll pick up as many as you want.

Anybody else on cookbooks? You can go to the Tasteofhome website and see what they have listed, not all are available on this 4 for $10 sale but some might be. And some are half-price from last year, so if you are willing to pay half-price and they are available, tell me which ones you want.

Don't get too excited about your new best friend Sarv, they only have this sale once a year....!

Maria, glad you are feeling better today, sunshine helps, but don't let that deter you from talking to your doctor about it because the dark days are likely to show up again, and you need to be prepared.

No guests showed up yesterday, got a call late in the evening that they had a "change in plans" but it does appear that we will have DH's brother's junky truck in our driveway after all. One of his other brother's took the truck up here from down near Carbondale IL, supposedly to buy it, then complained it wasn't worth the money, abandoned it, and now the rest of the family is picking up the pieces for the idiot. The seller is the pie destroyer from waaay last Christmas. That tribe is comprised totally of idiots. DH tried mightily to stay out of the whole debacle but it looks like he didn't work hard enough at it.

I went back to Julie's original coffee post while cleaning up my watched threads list, and I've been rereading some of our daily musings.....maybe I'll come across that decimated pie, Julie! If so, I'll retrieve it so our newcomers can see what a force you are!! LOL

I'm going to go whip up some eclairs today, so watch the counter later.

Hurry up with your cookbook wants, I'm going to try to get there before noon when that little shopping district gets jammed.

M5- if the holiday ones are 4 or 10, get me 4. If they are half price get me two!! You are my new best friend...many thanks- and get that butt on the road!!!

Can't I wait until the store opens????? It's cold out there.

Aria, so glad you are feeling better, but please don't put off talking with your doctor, as someone else said, it will probably return, and then you can be prepared. I take an anti depressant, but still ocassionally have those "spells". Aria, it was me not Marsha, who cleaned windows for her mom. That's alright, because I suspect there are several other GOB's that help out aging parents. Carat thanks for the aspirin in bath water tip, have never heard it, but will try it. Sarv, will try the panty liner suggestion, when I get together with DS again. Hadn't thought of that. Meezer, no thanks for the cookbooks. I think I have enough. Did you say trouble might be brewing on the horizion? Keep us informed. Ain't in-law problems a hoot?

Well since I worked so hard yesterday, will take it easy today. Just general house hold stuff. I am going on a mystery guest assignment tonight to a Long Horn Steak House. Looking forward to it, as we tried to eat there when they first opened, and the line was a mile long. Will check in later in the day to see what everybody's been doing.

maria!
you got your dg name changed!
congrats!

defoe - walmart should have the "simply sleep".
i've seen it everywhere - groc store, cvs pharmacy,
even dollar general. should be there with the tylenol pm.

it's downright cold in carolina this morning.
marsha

Ok, I'm leaving right now, taking eclairs out of oven. Back later with good news, I hope!

GOOD Morning, one and ALL!! Isn't it good to see Maria in better spirits this morning? Maria...SO glad to SEE that smile on your face! It illuminates the whole place!

Shelia..."decimated pie"? Now...well...I *never*. hehehe Yes, I *did*. (~little kid kinda taunting here~) Hehehehe I was so afraid when I did that I'd violated a rule of copyright here on DG...thank goodness no one reported me. (LOL) (And I'll do it again...too. :-P)

V. Ann made a statement over in the Upper Midwest Gardening forum about how over there we were *almost* as chatty as the GOB's. Can you imagine her saying something like??? LOL I asked her how she could say "almost" when, obviously, that group was JUST as BAD as the GOBs...we just had more thread to spread out all the chat into. hehehe

Yes...I'm having a blast over there. It's SO wonderful to meet people that someday I just might have the opportunity to see in real life. Other than being WAY behind in digging up those cannas, that forum has done me the world of good.

Maria...I had a couple of problems this morning remembering how to get the collage thingy to do what I wanted it to. (I went to sleep last night, and now I have to retrain myself. LOL) I got it all worked out. And I'll write up a quick step-by-step for you to follow. Those collages really make posting photos a dream...and you don't have to post many response to get all the pics up at once. I LIKE that!

Well...I have an unbelievable pile of dishes setting on my counter. After the first day of ectasy ad self abandonment in the UMG forum (really HIGH)...I slid *big* time into the blahs yesterday...didn't feel like doing anything at all. (the bleeding ulcer may have had a little to do with it...everything I ate HURT like the dickens!) But today, I'm feeling like getting something done...so I'd better 'get er done'.

~julie~

Well good morning, and to some good afternoon. Gosh being on the West Coast I seem the last to go to bed and the last to wake up. Its cloudy out, maybe rain again? We seem to be in some sort of funk here because it is rare for us to get rain this late in the year. Its nice to be able to go out and just sit and enjoy the flower and garden in the morning with out having to water it first.
Ann, thanks for the crocus info. I have one small area about 3X4 that has tulips, hiyacinths, and daffs in it and when they leave my asparagus fern covers the browning leaves. I have to go out and get that monster trimmed back soon but I think I will wait until this weekend. It will give me an excuse for needing to be outside when DH starts up the football. I can only handle a couple games a weekend.
Maria, I am so glad that this morning was a cheerier one for you. But please still go to the doctors to help make sure the others to follow are just as bright.
Was your screen name a typo, and you got it changed or did we just figure you out and it makes it easier???

Meezer thanks for the eclairs, my favorites by the way. Did you get my request for The complete guide to Country Cooking? I have all the books for myself, can't seem to send one back after they send it to me. I am starting up a little library for DD when I kick her out of the house. My in laws all thought I was nuts when I started buy kitchenwares and house items for my oldest two. But now when those two move out I know my dishes, pots & pans and towels will be staying and not hijacked. I have toasters, microwaves, blenders, dishes, flatware, and every gadget they will need plus towels and washcloths in the storage unit in plastic bins. And most of it was bought on sale at a great price.

Well I need to get off my butt and get dressed, I have a follow up with the oral surgeon. I remember when all my doctors and dentist looked so old. Now they look so young.

I hope all have a beautiful and bright day.
Casey

Thank you, Julie, can hardly wait to get it going.


Now I have to tell you about my rotten health. Dr. gave me breathing test, lol I was hardly breathing, she showed me my chart, it hardly went up an mm before it was way up to my age, which is very good. She put me on a machine , I have a weird sense of humor it reminded me of someone who has to do the same thing,, she said , what is so funny, nothing to laugh about , you have pneumonia, juk!!!!!!!!
So now I am on anti- something. something else so I can breathe better and new sleeping pills, can't think of the name have to pick them up later, starts with an A... also names for some one to fix my dumb brain that keeps throwing me down the hole.
That is it , see you later ....Oh, is it not nice I finally am getting my real name, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Maria

Well, Maria... congrats on the screen name change! And also for your doctor diagnosing pneumonia. Now you can start to get better! Same for seeing a therapist.

My sister called last night, as if nothing had happened, and wanted to know if I had reserached any more properties for us. I swear one of us is nuts. She didn't actually apologize for hanging up on me, but I think the phone call was her way of apologizing and not throwing out the baby with the bath water.

YEAH Aria Now Maria your whole name!!!!

Glad you went to Dr and taking care of what needs to be done on way to better health!!!!

Running in and out took too long to catch up so gotta keep running
Good day to all will be in and out as usual!

Ann - I would love to have a handbell choir at our church! I looked into starting one a couple of years ago, but the cost is just too much for our little church. I haven't had time to really look over you website yet, so I saved it in favorites. What photos I did see are wonderful. I especially like the one of the 'Lucifer' canna.

sarv - it's good to hear you finally had a good nights sleep. Maybe it's all those chocolate malts and oreos!

Yea, Maria!!! Not only did you get your username changed but you *sound* wonderful!!! It's amazing how people's moods come across in their writing. I'm sure you will feel better about everything once you get the pneumonia taken care of, but talk to your doctor about the depression anyway. When I was a teenager we had a man calling calling our house with the same kind of messages. We did call the police and they told us to click the receiver and say "officer please trace this call." The next time our guy called we did exactly that and never heard from him again.

Robert - I still can't get out of my mind that someone must have been in your room in the middle of the night! Please make sure you and DW are safe. We rarely lock our doors, and if we did the dog would probably open them for the intruders. I'll be checking everything tonight! Take care of yourselves.

M5 - I've never been to the Taste of Home store. How long is the sale going on? I might just have to drive over there; I love road trips! It was cold here this morning; low must have been around 17. I called the time/temp phone line in Baraboo around 9:00am - it was 20 degrees! Hope I got everything in I wanted to overwinter.

Julie - I don't know what the pie story is about (before my time as a GOBette), but I making pie this weekend. Do I need to lock my doors?

I mentioned having gone to the Madison Farmer's Market to check out some apples from an heirloom grower. While I was there I bought some cider - it is the best I've ever had (DH agrees.)

I wrote a small article for the local MG newsletter. If you all don't mind I post it.

Everyone - thank you for your kindness about my son. It felt good to share his picture with all of you. It may sound crazy, but meeting people without telling them I have another child seems like I'm holding something back. I have known people for years and then found out they had a child that died before we met. With me, its almost like I have to tell people very soon after meeting, or I feel like they will never know me. Does that make sense?

~~~As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do. ~Zachary Scott~~~

Have a wonderful day!
Jody

Oh Darius
What now???
She just acted like nothing happpened will you be looking to be together again or should you worry about that kind of behavior rearing it's ugly head??? Hard desision indeed!

Jasmerr, It makes complete sense. He is a part of you. And always will be.

Darius, She what??? Okay, is she on medication or have a disability/disorder to blame for her erratic behavior?? If you change your mind and decide to purchase a home together please be sure that you are completely protected financially. Please be careful.

Maria, pneumonia??? My goodness, no wonder you have had the yucks lately. Well hopefully those meds will get you back up and going quickly.

Robert, I am so glad that nothing happened while your intruder was in your home. Please keep those doors locked.

Well off to the OS.
Casey

Magabo, I think she had second thoughts about her actions (plus she had been drinking) and really doesn't want to sever the relationship. We are all the family left (well not really, I have brothers and another sister from my Dad's second marraige) except for her daughter who will be 18 tomorrow and may bolt.

She still wants me to come and stay the winter with her. However, I plan to spend most of it with Molly so I can help Molly with house planning and maybe building a greenhouse of some sort.

Darius, glad you are not listening to her!

Ok, I did it ! the collage that is, now tell me how do I get it on DG???PLease
Maria

Darius you are right ot do that!
Family can be difficult but what are we to do they are family and who can we accept more with all there differences then family!!
Good for you

(((( Darius))))))

Good morning/afternoon everyone. It's an overcast day here but hasn't rained since some time last night. This afternoon I will get more yard work done after taking a quick ride on Breezy. Hopefully it will be warmer then, the thermometer says about 34 but it sure feels colder because everything is wet from the rain and kind of foggy. Just now I'm taking a break from waltzing with the vaccuum cleaner, a nice warm job.

Darius, your sister sounds like somebody who acts hastily, knows she has blown it, wants to keep a relationship, and can't bring herself to say "I'm sorry". I think you are right, she calls and acts like nothing is wrong so you will know that she understands she acted in haste ( a variation of foot in mouth disease). The words "I'm sorry" either don't enter her brain or won't come out of her mouth. Either you have to take her as she is or make some other living arrangement. Earplugs might be of some help. :o) What did you tell her? On another subject, I know you aren't into collecting any more plants right now but I know you have some Epiphyllum. I have recently traded for a white night bloomer and a red one. I am wondering if you have some other colors that you would send me starts from just for postage? If you would rather not deal with taking/mailing cuttings at this time that is ok.

Tomorrow I will be leaving for another endurance ride, the final one of the season in our NW region. It's getting too cold for a pleasant all day ride. The weather looks like it might be dry this time but probably about 25 degrees in the morning and it could rain or snow the night before. Brrrr. Time to get out the longjohns! I got an update from the records keeper and she tells me I have won the mileage championship but it wouldn't hurt to do one more ride for insurance in case there is a mistake. It ain't over till it's over ( or actually until the awards ceremony at the end of Janruary), a long time to be waiting.

Jody, I think it's ok if you tell people you have a son who is no longer physically with us, it does give a more complete picture of who you are than just name, age, job, hobbys, etc. If people are offended by that just remember that nobody can please everyone. Perhaps it would be a good idea to say that you are only telling them so they will see the whole person, and not to get sympathy or make them feel uncomfortable. You might say "I hope this will not make you feel uncomfortable but I need to tell you ..... etc." My daughter in law lost her adult son about 2 years ago, he was a murder victim. She has handled it very well but still has sad times and the holidays will be difficult as they are for anyone who has lost loved ones.

Maria, I'm glad you got your name! No wonder you haven't been feeling well physically ( and that drags you down mentally), but do go talk with someone because you may need some help in the future. Gloomy weather in the winter doesn't help anybody's mood. The SAD thing somebody mentioned is Seasonal something (maybe dysfunctional?) Disorder and is related to the amount of light we need. Some people just need more sunshine (or artificial light) than others. Somebody here probably has the whole name and you could look it up on the net and find out about it. Anyhow, our bodies and minds are all connected, so you need to get help for the whole person ( and a very nice person I might add)!

Well, back to the dance....... the dust bunnies are multiplying as I speak..........
