I lost a friend today
Comments (18)Thanks to all of you for the kind words. There were so many people at the wake it took several hours for all of them to get in. So many flowers that they filled up 2 rooms. Mary would have have been pleased to know that she was so loved by so many people. Those of us who knew her best noted that it was past cocktail time and if I had a designated driver last night I surely would have gone to the country club and had a couple of drinks for Mary. She was always doing fun things and when you were around her you couldn't help but have fun. She was like the rest of us an avid reader and she was in bed reading when she passed. Now for those of us left here, life goes on and we'll go with it as far as it is meant for us to....See MoreWords, Words, Words...
Comments (49)Wood - Glad you are enjoying the wonderful "Child/Forest" book. My library has the prettiest edition of this, and I donated the other two in the trilogy, but have a strong feeling they went into the FoL book sale instead of on the shelves which I had intended to make up the trilogy for other people. As for the adding of the "-ie" sound to words in English, that is quite common even now. "Brekkies" - breakfast "Sarnies" - sandwiches "Prezzies" - presents/gifts Also, there used to be a penchant for reducing some names to "-az" such as: Sharon --> Shaz or Shazzer Barry --> Baz or Bazzer Des --> Dezzie This might just be my group of friends though... We had a mixed bunch (social class speaking) and I think this shortening was a lower class trend... I could be mistaken as it may vary in other regions......See MoreOBF September: Morning glory mornings and Sunflowers days

Comments (4)Hah! If it's a PBS station, better off emailing them. I'd be afraid they would try to hit me up for some money if I were to call them. Here they are constantly crying for people to leave money to them in their will, to pull money out of their IRA accounts (it's not counted as income if you do). Since my tax dollars have gone into funding PBS all those years that I worked, I feel like if all these guilt-ridden wealthy people want to donate so that all us unwashed masses can be educated, so be it. Just don't try to hit up a fixed-income senior with charity requests, thank you very much. BTW, they actually did answer my email! But it was so vague about what the plan was I'm not really sure if there was a solution to it. As for turning the channel, actually I just turn it off, there's nothing on that time of the morning on any of the other stations that I want to look at. We have 2 PBS stations here and the other one devotes weekday mornings to children's education shows. The rest of it is news....See More
