I will try not to make this seem self-serving or overly sentimental, but... Today my 9 year old son's best friend and siblings visited and we met them at a plaground, my 2 kids and the 4 of them. They recently moved away and were coming back to see people and get more of their stuff. My son and his...

Thanks everyone for kind wishes. I'm a little shellshocked by the accident...still. And it drives me CRAZY when people say if you had killed the baby it wouldn't have been your fault. Are they kidding!?!?! Learned a lot about the insurance system through this. The system in NY is called No Fault. Yo...

Oh, I just ignore them. The Olympics I mean. Don't really watch much TV, so I barely notice except for news articles which I refrain from clicking on. --A Never watch them. I think they are an embarrassment. Not whingeing though. :wink: Speaking of TV I still don't get the concept in the UK of payi...

Ok, I have a new one. I have been inundated with robo calls. I have 1500 blocked numbers!!!!! BUT that's not my peeve. I called Verizon to change my VOip number. They were kind enough to change it for only $20. I did it and almost immediately I start getting robo calls. AND my caller id is coming up...

My new passport has arrived. I realise there have been some changes since October fest was first announced. As I said in the fb conversation Catherine and I would like to see the grand canyon so will spend only part of the time in ABQ. Before we book flights we need to find a room or a floor somewh...

Not acceptable.

Hi everyone, been awhile and I think I owe an explanation. It's kind of "the world crashed into lorin" kind of story. I'll start easy hardest (or is it the hardest easy) thing. BEWARE TEXTING TEENS! On 2/9/16 I was driving down a small Long Island ish highway near my house in my beloved Pr...

Hi everyone, just checking in. I've been away awhile, details in another post. I will be there E'fest 2016. I am driving there from NYC. We will be staying at the Staybridge. Just wanted to let you know I have another reservation close by in case anyone is in need of a room for the fest. It is not a...

Its Balloon fest time so I am hoping for the time when that fest is happening. I will stay on after the fest to give NM a test run. I am going to try to find a big house so many can use it and save money.

Whattaya think?

I had to pick someone up from the hospital on New Years Day in Manhattan. It was like entering the demilitarized zone. They searched every car coming into the city. There was an army guy/gal on every corner with machine guns and flack jackets. Hardly any cars on the streets but tons and tons of drun...

resolved and broken, all in one post. I resolved a one week liquid fast to shrink my appetite. Made it about 6 hours and thought I would die. So I had a bowl of oatmeal. I figure if I made it thin enough it would qualify as liquid.

I have a complete glass studio now, so what happens??? I fall in love with the PMC (precious metal clay) medium. I am like a little kid with ADD. So what I'm trying to do is combine the two mediums. Metal clay is just amazing. You work it, you build it and then you kiln it and poof, you have a solid...

I am going to try to post more....promise. It's a quiet 'to myself' time but will give it a try.

I really miss the snow, especially since I don't have the huge commute anymore. The only digging I have to do is a spot for helldog. I have a landscaper that does all the big digging in exchange for use of my backyard. When it really comes down I stay off the roads. A prius is many great things but ...

Bit of a rough one yesterday...My uncle ended up in hospital, so things a bit uncertain right now. Ah well. --A Sorry about your uncle. It's hard to get older, the circle keeps getting smaller. I have decided the weather is completely crazy this year. Its 72 degrees out! And damn it, next years gar...
