LOL Whit! Speaking for myself, we don't clean we pick up, so in that sense yes I do pick up all the stuff in my car before I take to the car wash!

Whit, I don't wear shoes unless I'm going somewhere, but today I did get dressed instead of wearing my nightgown all day!! I died when I recognized myself in the statement, "Do you want your kids to remember you as a woman who got dressed in clothes right before Daddy was due home from work?" I'm wearing slippers today; how's that for a compromise?

i have a dumb question. i have noticed in several of the posts in the fact or two thread, that a lot of people are calling someone their "dh". my guess is this means husband. anyone care to explain? (remember i am blonde.) :)

Jbean: You are correct that the 'H' stands for Husband. The 'D' is open to interpretation or mood. It could be Designated or Darling or D...well, you get the pictuer!

PS: You'll also find DWife or DDaughter or DSon, etc.

thanks dra, i suspected it was "dear" or something. thanks for filling me in!

Jbean, sometimes in my posts, you can read DH as "dumb husband," "damned husband," or "diabolical husband." Whatever fits the mood/tone!!

Whit...For me, not having any beautiful Douglas fir trees is almost as bad as not having sight. I miss the smell, the feel and just watching them in the wind. I went into Sam's this morning and they had some "fresh" fir wreaths...the poor things were already dried out and they put them out on Friday. I stood there just inhaling until the kid told me to "get over it."LOL

The desert is different when you've been raised in the Northwest. You can't hug a cactus. Well, you can, but...

Of all the things I've missed in the 11 years of living here (besides my friends) trees are # 1. I miss NW grass and mud too. Gosh, I even miss slugs and fleas!!

In the "Fact or two,.." thread, I posted that I wished I knew where Whitey Bulger is. Weinermr wondered who Whitey is.

Whitey Bulger is on the FBI's ten most wanted list. He is/was involved with the Mob in Boston. He's been "on the lam" for quite a few years now. There's a One Million Dollar reward for information directly leading to his whereabouts and arrest. He apparently had an FBI agent in his pocket who is now serving I think about 8 years for covering up Whitey's crimes. I'm really bad at posting links, but if you go to the FBI's Most Wanted site, I'm sure there would be losts of info about him.

Moon.. Shilo is Beautiful, makes me want more kitties.

Spy.. Sorry about your doggy.. hope the meds help..

Who and other ghostie people.. I love these stories. I sorta believe in all these unexplained things. Like there is also a chance there could be something else o-u-t
t-h-e-r-e besides us.. ya know?

To everybody else, sorry I can't mention you all by name too, but if I did, I'd never stop posting, and you'd REALLY get sick of me.. LOL

This is also one of my most favorite threads and I hope it doesn't die down anytime soon. I am wondering though what will happen when it gets too large. Will it go to the downloadable archives section?

My - ya it should go to the archives when needed.

I'm still dying to know what Moon won in her showcase. I watched Price is right like Daily for many years....lol.

Thanks MGAway... I will tell Shilo, he loves compliments!

Sorry Whit... It was in 86. Bob had fun with or should I say made fun of me. I messed up the game I did when I got on stage (btw I won the bid to go up on stage on a outside GIANT grill, it was on the show Dallas)... I watched the show all the time but never saw this game again... it was close to the register game, anyway needless to say I didn't win but when I spinned the wheel in the semi final round, I won and went to the showcase.

I won a livingroom/dining room, carpet, a projection tv, piano, vacum cleaner, patio furniture.

I show the tape every now and again to friends so we can laugh... big 80's hair... jeans, white shirt, and white cowboy boots with the jeans tucked in...OMG

How much did you have to pay in taxes for that Moon? Did you keep the stuff or sell it?

We had a guy at work that won once in the late80's or early 90's. He won one of those grand piano showcases..

I donated the furniture so that took care of the taxes on the whole thing. I kept the TV... worked up until a few years ago. The vacum cleaner... best I have ever had but pootered out a few years ago too. It was a hoover canister...loaded. The beautiful piano, I sold.

A few years later I was on Hollywood Squares... won two shows:)

Marysafan...you wrote: 10. All of my engagement and much of my early marriage is was long distance.

How come?

It was 1968, hubby was just home from Navy boot camp when we had our first date. We had five dates...he went back to San Diego for a month. I wrote 29 letters...he wrote 30.

He came home for Christmas for two weeks....we got engaged. He went back to San Diego. We continued to write almost daily until I flew out to San Diego to marry him.

After that he went on several deployments to the Carribean and the Mediteranean...and then in the Pacific.

He was in the Navy for 11 years...6 years were on sea duty.

When his last shore duty was over and it was time to go back to sea duty...he decided to leave the Navy so that he could be home to enjoy his family and raise his children. No regrets.

And I wouldn't want anyone else to read those letters ever! Some of them would be VERY embarrasing! I keep them in a cedar chest at the foot of my bed. In case of a fire...I would save them first!

Awww...that's great Mary. Thanks for sharing that with us. I am really moved when I hear about people who have long loving relationships that make it through the ups and the downs. It's pretty rare nowadays.
