Yes, apparently (although I may have spelled it wrong) it means Princess in Hindi, or was it Persian? In any case, Amira is half Kurdish/Persian. That brings my melting pot of a family up to several nations now - Italian, African American, Romany/French, Irish and some others too.

My Uncle passed away about 10 minutes ago (just got the phone call from my Father). His name was Joseph Lyon and he was 83. He loved Humphrey Bogart movies, cooking, and he wore a white Fedora hat almost every day I ever saw him in my life. Through his actions he taught me that whoever you are is fine, even if that whoever happens to be eccentric.

Farewell Uncle Joe and thanks for all the times we sat around talking about old films, especially your favourite, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. You were loved and you will be missed.
Sorry to hear that

*hugs* Sorry to hear of your loss, MoeJoe. I know the last few weeks have been pretty tough

I'm sorry, Moejoe. But if I may say, what a wonderful thing it is that someone can be so well remembered.

Thinking of you Moejoe. Your Uncle sounds like a man that was great to be around. I wish you and your family all the Best and that the memories of him stay with you forever.

Good luck on the Irish Wake - raise the glass and remember Uncle Joe till the last man standing drops to the floor

Sincere condolences for your loss, moejoe.

He sounds like someone worthy to be immortalized on paper......or e-paper.

Small issue compared to Moejoe's, but I had the 6 wks checkup from my last eye surgery today. Got there, examined, everybody got "the look," did lots of tests, had allergic reaction to the stuff they put into my arm and was vomiting a LOT, found lots more bleeding arteries in the retina, macula is more swollen than ever, and did surgery #12, all within about 2 1/2 hours.

I had just gotten back able to comfortably read again. I guess I'll be away from MR again for a while until it heals and I can do this without straining at 150%.

Love you all!

Oh Crap DixieGal.

Please know we'll all be missing you.

I can't think of anything that would scare me more - not being able to read - heal fast and come back & play with us.
All my fingers & toes crossed for you!

Arrrgh! That's awful. I hope you're not in too much pain.
No being able to see would be the death of me. My livelyhood depends entirely on it. I hope you have loads of music and AUDIOBOOKS...

DixieGal, sorry to hear you're still having problems.

Hope everything turns out OK.

You've had more than your share of eye problems.
