msbeanic, do you mean the hanger ones? He must get blue hangers from the cleaners, take apart and put in white rope lighting....at least that would be my guess.

MomJ47....I think you wrote what I was feeling when I read her letter, and you said it well. I think sometimes they just "need a hug" and reassurance that all will be fine, even tho it isn't. It has to be scary in their world....and they are so helpless. Many times after my MIL passed away, I had so many "regrets", not goign up and giving her a HUG, and saying it will be alright, for instance when we went ot the hospital before she passed on, she was sitting on the side of the bed, with nurses around her, and they were going to release her,and she was in no condition to be released that day. She sat with the most miserable scared look on her face and said" you miswell just take me to the nursing home"!! I regret not going in and putting my arms around her and comforting her and telling her it would be ok. Two weeks later she was gone. Ohhh how the regrets always come when it is to late to do anythign about it. She knew I think in her heart, I loved her but having her for 5 years, weighed alot on my nerves. I do however, feel in some of the letters, now that i read, the aggravation these caregivers feel, but believe me...when it is over and said and done...we all will look back and have the feelings i have had. I think, no matter how angry and frustrated we are, it only takes a minute ,to hug them and let them know, we are there for them,in this final days of their life. We all need a HUG now and then, and I found it to be hard to do with my MIL....let this be a lesson learned from someone who has been there,and now has regrets. Again you said it so well...Mom J47.....HUGS Gabby

Roast chicken or roast beef. I don't know when the last time I cooked a roast of beef but I do have one in my freezer. I miss the smell of waking up to bacon cooking. I cook my own so it is not the same as waking up to it. My Dad used to make a great breakfast for all of us kids on Sunday mornings and as soon as you smelled the bacon you woke up. LOL Anne

welcome :) lol.. i LIKE canada but i was born here so i guess i'm used to the snow. we're actually considering a move 10 hours north of where we are now (for job opportunities.. not the snow!) right now, we're about an hour and half from toronto. i saw your pictures from your other post. beautiful stuff!! i really loved the pieces of wood. i've never seen anything like that before. as far as glass cutting, i just use the running pliers and a ruler if i need squares and hope for the best. i don't use a lot of squares though.. usually just random shapes.
