Lynora, I know you don't log into your FB account much anymore, but I have to link because I know you'll mathgeekgasm over it.
:D
That's awesome. Scary, but awesome.
Yeah, I have to admit, I didn't pay much less way back when. Take out the tanning and the limo and adjust for inflation and...yeah, actually for prom that's not so bad....there are things about being a girl that just cost more money. But there aren't that many times in life when you get a chance to dress up like a princess. :)I need to do something special for the 84 yr old neighbor that's making her the gown, mostly out of leftover materials from his dress shop. He'd charge a customer about $2k for that gown. Bless that guy. 84 and still works 6 days a week, and doing something like that for us. Occasionally fixing stuff around his house for him doesn't seem enough.My mom is a geriatric nurse. She loves working with the older folks - their stories, learning what they've learned over their lives has always fascinated her. When I was a kid she'd "drag" us along and have us read to the parapalegic young lady in one room, or play the piano and sing with the lonely old patient that nobody visits. I resented it as a selfish little teenager, but looking back, I think my mom was right, I only hope my teenage resentment didn't come through and instead I helped make someone's day a little better.
Help around the house is so great and appreciated, I'm sure, but a suggestion might be inviting him over for an evening of board games and snacks or an outside bbq where he can sit back, socialize, enjoy some good food, and have an audience for stories or gain new stories to tell. :)
I am not the only one! My mother, who has alternated between geriatric and psychiatric nursing, did the same thing when she was at nursing homes or the like! She usually brought me in to play the piano.
One old lady was so into the music, and afterward produced a large manila envelope. I looked inside, and it was full of sheet music that she had written in her younger years. I played one of her compositions on her birthday. I still have it....

Id be more concerned if you started making little outfits for it.
E7's gloves look like these.
Ergo, I believe there are outfits. And a makeshift puppet theater.

Y'know, in my parts of the world we whoop with joy if a young lady asks for help with a mouse problem.

Hmm. Maybe I should create a "creepy Kajehase" alias for that kind of post.
Does anyone else dislike power window in here? I hate them.
We had pasta with a homemade tomato-parsley sauce for dinner. Yum. Also, don't be fooled. This was not a long, difficult process. This sauce takes twenty minutes to make, max. I'm too lazy of a cook to make anything that takes real effort. ;)

So....what is it about convenience that you hate. ;P
I never really roll the window down when in the car and driving it. I always turn the engine off and take the key out before thinking to roll down a window usually if waiting. They also sort of suck if you are cleaning off your steering wheel and it is hot outside have to put the key in the ignition. That and it wieghs a tiny bit more. Also if someone leaves a window down on their car with rain coming you cannot help them out by closing it so the car does not get full of rain.
Play-by-post PIE.
Pot pie. Mmmmmmmm, but I could do without the celery.
I think a bacon cheeseburger is called for tonight.
Does one finish first or does one finish best... the mystery of the ages.
I try telling that to all the ladies.
Unconvinced.
