Boy, has Terry Pratchett it right. I just got off the phone with a cousin in Germany. She said just the same thing - what is wrong with me, I can't understand all that new technology! She is 94 years old. The second quote is, I think, my most favorite Pratchett quotation. It hangs since quite some time on my wall. Thanks Lilo.

My brother was 4 years younger, I wanted to sell him because I would have liked a sister. He was about 16 when we found some common ground, until then he was the pest who always hung around when I wanted to do things on my own. The trouble was it was not only him, but he was of the opinion that I should be pleased that he brought his friends along.

It's the sort of morning that validates Steven Wright's observation (smiling, sort of)

Thank you to everyone who took the time to weigh in and let us know how you de-stress! Being the child of older parents and a very shy youngster, my go-to has always been reading. Seems like Earl Grey/Lady Grey are popular hot teas... Marilyn_c I've seen the pics of your gorgeous horses & "mools"...I bet they don't give you much spare time:) Pink...I'd be glad to share the recipe...got it off of the web some time ago and it reminds me of the Pepperidge Farm Molasses Crisps, which I can't find any more & loved. Molasses Crisps 1 and 1/2 sticks softened butter 1/2 cup white or brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 cup robust molasses 2 and 1/4 cups Bisquick generous teaspoons of cloves and ginger several teaspoons of cinnamon Cream butter. Add sugar, molasses and egg--stir well to combine. Add in dry ingredients and chill dough for several hours. Roll into balls & then squash flat with greased juice glass or similar on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-13 min. Chisue---I do read the Buying and Selling Forum. That's actually how I found the KT after stumbling onto the Gardenweb about 7 or 8 years ago after we first started thinking about moving. There are certainly some interesting stories there too!
