Hi Bobbi,

Check to see if it was not included with your computer. If you go to "start," & then "games," it should be there.

A little synchronicity –

When I ran a graduate education program, I had a student who became anorexic and almost died. I got very involved with her and her family and helped her get the help she needed. Recently, I have gotten back involved with this program teaching an online course and helping the new director set up an alumni association. I have gotten in touch with many of my former students and REALLY wanted to get in touch with this student. However, the email I had for her was not working and no one had a working email address for her.

As you know, I recently made an appointment to see a hematologist about my lymphoma. While I was waiting in the lobby of the cancer hospital, I saw this student. She was there with her mother who also has lymphoma. I was ABSOLUTELY overjoyed. Needless to say, I now have this student’s email address.

Just so weird that we both happened to be in the same place at the same time!

That is why i think some things are just ment to be.

so glad you got to hook up with her again.

Lady,

It was just so weird. I have been going to my dermatologist for over 4 years. He is in a totally different building. I just decided that I wanted to check in with a hematologist or I NEVER would have been in the hospital building!

Brenda, Sylvee looks like the queen kitty. I love she is guarding the gifts. And your garden is lovely. Absolutely beautiful. And good job getting the pictures uploaded.


Carol Sue I love the story about your MIL and St. Patricks. That is a little eerie.

Bobbi, you’re further in the book than me. If I wasn’t listening, I’d have skimmed the dog fighting too. And Sterling and daughter do need a whack with rosey’s rolling pin.

Bobbi, I remember long ago (around 10 years old) going from maple to maple tree in Minnesota, collecting sap in the spring. About this time of year. Since it’s maple pollen you’re allergic to and the pollen can travel miles and miles and miles, you should stay on antihistamines throughout the pollen season. My home computer would never have a password. That would be a pain in the butt. Glad you found your Spider game.

Deelee, I have the Skype program on my Macbook but there isn’t an app for iPad. I bet you’re so proud of your son! My thought is that scales are evil. Pure and simple. Necessary for me but evil none the less. I was thinking of painting a devil face on it but then thought the paint might add some weight when I weigh in.

Rie, I thought we were soul sisters but you don’t like OREOS??? Are you nuts? And the filling is delightful – a fine blend of chemicals.

Donna, the lawnboys might be spendy but surely the enjoyment of look at them, errr their work, is worth it. Not much working today. Too much work yesterday.

Lynn, that is fabulous you ran into your former student that you had such ties too. That is amazing.

Rosey, sounds like you’ll have a busy weekend then your DD will be there. How cool is that?

Ciecie, I love discussing cookies. Girl Scout, Oreos or homemade chocolate chip. I was just thinking that on a diet forum you and I could get into trouble.

I had a nice morning with DH. We played our new super scrabble and made homemade Irish Cream (yes, I had an allergic reaction to Baileys). Since I had half an iced mocha left when we made the Irish cream, I put a splash in it. My, my mocha was amazing this morning. Now DH is at work and the pups and I are being bums. And who says you can't be a shopaholic while being restrict to the couch? I successfully bought three swimsuits, several yoga pants and a present for my soon to be DGS. Online shopping with free shipping is wonderful.

Me too. At one of those award shows, an interviewer asked Morgan Freeman - what was his secret obsession - he answered Spider Solitaire!

I guess we are in good company.

Lynn - I think you were meant to meet up with that student again. That's how things happen. How had she done with her anorexia? I first met DH when I was 14 and he was 17. I saw him working in a grocery store and thought he was cute and I asked a friend who worked there to introduce us. She did, but he had a girlfriend (his first wife) and we were just friends, just said hi to each other in passing. That was in 1960. I never saw him after he married until 1997. My friends always went to a disco on the weekends. There was a country western bar on the highway and something was drawing me there, but none of my friends would go there with me. Finally, one friend said she would go, and who did I run into the first night there but DH. He recognized me first, and told me he was divorced. The rest is history. I always say I was just meant to go into that nightclub. All this time we had lived 10 miles apart, but he being married with a family and me being in the singles scene, our paths just never crossed. I enjoy telling people that I met DH when I was 14 and we married when I was 35.

Hi Carol Sue,

Your story gives me goose bumps. I am sure that there have been a few movies about things like this. When you think about all the possibilities that have to converge for these kinds of meetings, it is truly AMAZING that they occur.

My appointment at the hospital was actually for a different day. I was there on that day only because I had re-scheduled.

There were a LOT of these stories after 9/11. MANY folks around here just missed being at the World Trade Center because of some kind of coincidence (fate?).

Lynn

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

I made my corned beef and cabbage yesterday. Today I am making Irish brown bread - want it warm out of the oven at dinner.

My DD & SIL got home this morning. They are coming here for St. Patrick's Day dinner.

Have a GREAT day & enjoy the LUCK O' THE IRISH,

Lynn
