Murf - You mention finding comfort in the timing of your own parents' passing before Easter, and that speaks to the profound way in which hope can intertwine with grief. It’s a reminder that even in our sorrow, there can be moments of solace and reflection, especially during meaningful times like th...

Don't get me wrong, while I'm upset about it, I can also appreciate the humor in it, and if it happened in a movie it would definitely be funny. I guess we worry that she won't make it to the big day because we have seen other people like Betty White and Bob Barker that both passed at 99 and they we...

:| So, this morning at 8am I got a text from my uncle saying that my grandaunt had passed in the night. I was already up so I called them immediately, and as soon as he answered the phone he yells out ... APRIL FOOLS! I started swearing at him for it and he told me to calm down because it was my gra...

I'm glad to hear that you and your family are safe Murf.

We were watching the news and saw the destruction that hit some areas, hopefully the people can recover from it.

On a lighter note, happy St. Patrick's Day to anybody celebrating tomorrow.

It looks like I was writing my post while you posted that story so I just saw it.

You certainly were brave to sit there and do your homework with the threat of a tornado hitting your home. Was there actually school the next day?

I hope that you and your family remain safe this weekend Murf. I'm thankful that I live in a geologically stable geographic region and so far we haven't ever experienced anything worse than hail and massive snowfall. My mother told me that when she was growing up in California she experienced a few ...

By the way, Happy Pi day to everybody here. I hope you can enjoy a slice of pie today. I've already had 4 slices.

How many tornadoes have you experienced in your life Murf? I've always wondered how anybody lives in a natural disaster zone knowing that they are always at risk from volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, earthquakes, or any other natural disasters. I get it that there are various reasons why some people c...

HA! Vance has no chance. You might as well start calling him "No chance Vance". Hey, the opposition can use that slogan for their campaign buttons, along with "JD Vance wets his pants". :lol: Also, as soon as the kids want to start working they will have a spot waiting for them.....

Man, I apologize for how long this post got. I suggest that you just skip this. He said it's because nobody wants us to fail. If we fail, the whole world fails. So everybody keeps propping each other up. It's all a house of cards. Well, your husband is right about that. By the way, who knew Limbaugh...

I hope that it works out for your son, I'm sure the right opportunity will present itself at the right time for him. It seems absurd that the Gov. would continually reduce the resources that the young people today need to further themselves, their field, and the potentially life altering contributio...

Thanks Murf! I appreciate it. How are your kids doing? Did your older son find a way to stay in Chicago? As for my grandaunt, I only hope that she is still around in 10 years so that little girl can get to know her the way that the rest of us have had the pleasure to. When we go to her birthday cele...

I just became a Halloween Master, YAY!

It's been awhile, I hope that everybody here is doing well. What have you guys been up to? There have been some interesting things happening for us lately, most notably is that last month my older sister's oldest kid just had her first baby, so that officially makes my mother a great grandmother, an...

Happy birthday Andy!

We danced the Mamushka while Nero fiddled! We danced the Mamushka at Waterloo! We danced the Mamushka for Jack the Ripper, and now, Andybev01, this Mamushka's for you!

Mamushka!
