Oh Brag Brag Brag Ricky you were just a snot nosed 13yr old while I was a maturing 16! My Dad had the "Hello Mudda, hello Faddah...here I am at Camp.......they said we'd have some fun if it stops raining" album. He also played that on Sunday Ohhhhh Bethie, now you are digging into Eric Burton and the Animals there! What about good Ol "It's My Party and I'll Cry If I want to..."? Leslie Gore anyone? Ricky you opened up a can of Oldies but Goodies Worms for sure! FAR OUT!!! Let's Twist Again like we did last summer! (wait a minute, the only thing I twist any more is my ankles!)

KitchenAid Dishwasher-KUDC10F vsKUDS40 @same price

Hard decision; don't envy you. I have the 60 which has both Pro Scrub and hidden controls, but I think if I were you I would go with the brand new 10. Open box would worry me- is there anything else wrong other than the little scratch that you can't see. The dishwasher works beautifully on Normal or Heavy Duty Wash that I wouldn't worry at all about not having Pro Scrub. I've used it only once in the several months I've had my 60 and find any casseroles or pots I put in that are really dirty do just fine on the regular cycles and come out spotless. I also love the hidden controls. Good luck with your decision.

Married same man twice, should I divorce him again...

It might have more to do with your husband's, uh, neediness?, devotion?, obsession?, than with something being wrong with you. You dated in college, got engaged, *broke up*. One thought that occurs is that, since he "followed" you, you equated it with true love. so you got married. didn't work, so you *divorced*. but he was still around, & after all he was your child's father, so you re-married, & now you have another child. & now you're thinking about *divorce*. Maybe you're together now because he's persistent & you (like so many of us) find it hard to say no. Maybe you need some time alone, maybe some counselling alone, to see your own direction more clearly. I wish you the best.

40+ year old Hydrangeas all old wood dead
Q
Comments (7)
It is very common here as well. The last two winters were mild enough that two years ago, I had almost no bloomage from the old wood hydrangeas. Then last winter I had some improvement but still plenty of no bloom hydrangeas. This winter was so miiiild that some hydrangeas did not go dormant and now I am seeing good bloomage from all (except paniculatas that will bloom later). The ups and down of the temperatures cause most of the problems here. That wakes the plants from the slumber and if the warm temps are followed by a crash below freezing, the stems are toast.

Hi, Nita. DH took me somewhere I've been wanting to go--Lonesome Dove in the Fort Worth Stockyards. The food was amazing. Chef Tim Love has been on Food Network's Iron Chef America and won! I recommend it.

Thanks, everyone for your kind messages. Very much appreciated.

Happy anniversary! My husband and I were married for 53 years when he passed away. It's great to hear from those of you who have been married a long time.

After he retired, DH used to sub in the English department of our high school. One day he had a class that had been assigned a short story about a couple having marital difficulties. There was lively discussion, which somehow led to one of the boys in class asking DH how long he'd been married.

DH said, "Forty years." There was a long silence; I guess the kids were digesting that length of time. Then the class began to applaud.

When DH came home and told me about this we were both a little stunned. This is an affluent community. The HS is one of the top-rated in the country. But...there aren't a whole lot of kids in the school whose families are intact.

It was a poignant moment.

Happy Anniversary!

BTW, I read a death notice in the paper today. The gentleman died at age 93. He's survived by his wife of 70 years! Not sure if that's cause for celebration or fear. LOL
