It is always so scary when a loved one is in the hospital. So great that she is home again.

In a really nice way. Ways, actually. You know ...

I have been asked the same question when we bought tons of stuff from IKEA. For some reason, I prefer the manual one. As you know by now, I am a control freak, so I like to feel what I do, how strong, deep, etc.

Neither then, nor now. The first time I had to coax quite a lot one of the mods to point a finger to the offensive image. This time I was not informed again, but I cannot be bothered to ask. I don't care. Bigotry wins over the reason. It will always have an upper hand. That's the way of life. What is the point to waste my time then? I quit all 4 picture posting threads once and for all. To be honest, I am back only... because of the fabulous company of wonderful people over here.

As soon as I finish my meal, and even before finishing my tea, I'll wash everything I used and put it in the drying rack.

My approach when I stay at home alone.

Thanks for the pics.

Thanks guys.

I don't blame you, and probably the wisest course

. Welcome back.

phenomshel · 06-14-2011, 02:34 PM

Okay, well I'm going to do a whole lot of catching up in one post. Prof. Crash, I am glad your mom is doing better and I'm sorry I missed the initial crisis. I never know what to say when people are hurting, but you were definitely in my thoughts.

Astra: Welcome back. No idea what happened, but as you say, it's in the past. We're glad you decided to come back here.

The aspartame/diet soda debate will rage on (ad infinitum, I suspect), but Prof. Crash is right, it makes some of us grumpy, LOL. Which is why KK is "voicing" her protests over my continued partaking of diet dr pepper in Dog and Cat. Actually my partaking thereof has dropped considerably since I had that tummy virus a week ago - and as of this posting, I have no idea what it's going to be replaced with should that become necessary.
Iced tea seems to so far be the one thing that I'm enjoying the most - but I'm finally nearly out of the black tea samples I had, so I'm using family sized tea bags. My Philistinian taste buds don't seem to be able to tell the difference, though I found I really, really enjoyed the Adagio raspberry black tea iced (couldn't stand it hot). The disadvantage to iced tea over diet dr pepper is that while I end up drinking more of it (and therefore keeping myself better hydrated), I can't drink it room temperature, (I can with soda), so we're going through a TON of ice. And I don't have an ice maker. It also takes a little more forethought than opening a bottle of soda.
