I actually have a great time revising and "producing" all of the details of my memorial . . . who's singing what, who's cooking what, and most of all, "who's doing such n such whether they like it or not."Baby Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199230462844582984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-20084222248711897372008-12-20T19:32:00.000-08:002008-12-20T19:32:00.000-08:00I echo what Susan C said.

Firstly, I belive ativan is God's gift to the on edge patient. I never leave home without some with me. I also keep some in my bedside table. Sometimes I thought it would be a blessing to be ignorant about these things but my intelligence overtook those thoughts. I am keeping my fingers crossed and saying prayers that soon you will be enjoying higher counts. <BR/>By the way I simply love Yiddish words. My very favorite is ferklempt (not sure of that spelling). Enjoy the snow. We got mainly rain here which froze and now we have ice.Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927983874624510031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-41879479948870020632008-12-20T07:25:00.000-08:002008-12-20T07:25:00.000-08:00Ronni,Stay strong and keep venting.

From your aside about writing "not to mention" to the therapeutic value of kvetching (followed by asking forgiveness for it) to your father's 'demise' file, you've got me nodding and nodding and nodding. You're either a fly on the wall of my life or you've come for tea at some point. (Based on the number of comments that precede mine, I suspect a lot of people are feeling that way.)<BR/><BR/>Go, Ronni!CLL SPOUSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642642389275280617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-67051715105044880522008-12-19T19:17:00.000-08:002008-12-19T19:17:00.000-08:00It's time for the MIT robotics lab to start workin...It's time for the MIT robotics lab to start working on the kvetch-o-matic 2000.
