Julie, I am catering a graduation party end of this month, and we put:
Please, no presents.
Your presence is enough.

Julieboo, we've always put "Best Wishes Only" on invitations where a gift is not expected. Of course most people ignore that anyway and will probably want to give at least some token gift.

Hi Kitt, let me find my map. I used to know them all by heart. You know the park is only about a half mile wide, so you can take a bus that runs on either side of the park and walk in. Let me go find my map. Got it. Okay, you want a 5 or a 21. 5 goes all the way to Ocean Beach along Fulton on the north side of the park. 21 also runs along Fulton but only to 8th Ave.

Which reminds me I need to get a new Muni map. This one is 2001 but the routes rarely change. Just not sure if Transbay Terminal is still in use or not, and if not, where the routes that begin there went. Wouldn't be too far away, I am sure.

Go put any further questions in my folder if you need any further information. I lived in San Francisco for five years, and I was a Muni junkie. I used to take visitors sightseeing on Muni. I will keep my map by my computer.

How can I reword this:

"Becomes a single parent after the death of her husband"

It is for a timeline on a retirement invitation. I s'pose there is no "cherry" way to talk about the death of someone. But I was wondering if there were a better way to word it...Any thoughts?

How about: After the loss of her husband, she raised her (boy/girl) with the love of two, but the arms of one.

Thanks Max and JuJu, we actually went on Tuesday, so I missed seeing your replies until afterwards. The Muni wasn't as scary as I feared, we had more trouble finding our way around the Golden Gate Park itself! But thanks for taking the time to reply :-).

(And classiccloseouts.com works for me now, but I'm a bit late in that conversation!)

ok I have a question...

When you cash a money order is there a paper trail that leads back to you?

Like you have the MO and you show your id but do they take any info about you - address - etc?

Yes, Missy2. They often write your identification information right on the money order, or they are supposed to.

Hey TVCH'ers, I have been searching this morning for some history facts for May 10, 1929. My Aunts birthday is tomorrow and the idea is to do a framed pic of history facts from her birthday. My problem is after quite a while of searching I can't find the price of everyday items from 1929, like houses, loaves of bread, or shoes. Any ideas where I can find a list like that on the web? I know they have to be around somewhere, but I'm not coming up with the right search terms to find anything specific.

This link might have something:

http://kclibrary.nhmccd.edu/decade20.html

They shows fads and so on for the 20s, although not exactly for 1929.

And this has a few figures, it's a pdf page but quick to load:

And thanks for saying the date "out loud", it's a friend's birthday on the 10th but I'd forgotten until I saw you mention the date!

LOL, you're welcome Kitt! This is a tough birthday week for me. A friends was yesterday, my aunts tomorrow, and my bils on Wednesday and it never fails that I have to look at my birthday list to see whos is when.

Thank you Kitt, those were great links!

Another thought could be to look up newspapers from that date, they would have ads wouldn't they? I mean for prices and popular "new fads".
