Oh, I doubt the Noble prize commission will appreciate this and will probably put some sort of future restriction on selling those medals (like the Oscars have done) for future recipients. But IF it brings in a hefty amount of money to be used for research then I say "Go for it!"
Silverado is the closest thing to a perfect western, IMO. If only they hadn't cast Jeff Goldblum as 'Slick'! Slick??? omg He nearly ruined the movie. He was sooo unbelievable. I have no idea how he got that role...
You can be plus size and look perfect! Just understand what works for you and flatters your figure. If you wear crappy clothes that hug your folds then people are going to stare and not in a good way. Here's a hint: STAY AWAY from polyester and other clingy fabric. They are not your friends. Wear clothes that flatter your body and people won't be giving you the stink eye. Got it?
Pittsburgh, eh? Funny, I would have thought it would have been someplace in Dearborn, Michigan that would have been doing the honors... I remember we had friends who were from Scotland that were very involved in a bagpipe marching band there.
I love how the woman is always in the wrong. Do this, do that, don't do such and such. "It's all for you, Damien!" oops! I mean "It's all for you, Mr Right!" Like the guy is some real prize who isn't silently farting into his chair or rearranging 'the boys' whenever he thinks he's got a private (pun intended) moment. FYI: For anyone who's ever had to wear nylons with garters here's a clue: Those garters can snap off at the worst times. Either the woman fixes the problem asap or she will have *gasp* saggy stockings! Anyone notice Mr Creep ogling the lady who's trying her best to look nice for the guy? A gentleman would look away and pretend it never happened. Ladies? WE WILL NEVER WIN!!!
Target (of all places!) carried the best 'fake' merchandise empty boxes last year. I do hope they will have more this year. I bought the 'Crib Dribble' for my daughter since she'd recently had a baby. It was so funny. The 'dribbler' was a human sized hamster water feeding bottle for a baby's crib. It would hold milk, formula and, yes! even stew!! The box was very professionally printed, looked like a real item, even had a coupon on the back! She passed the box on to a friend who was expecting. I wonder how many women have gotten that box by now...
I bought the very first edition of Barbie when it came out. It cost me 2 dollars! Man, I had to save my money for that doll! She had a black and white cruddy stretchy bathing suit that even I knew (at my young age) would fall apart as soon as it got wet. I gave it a hair cut since I didn't like the ponytail but found out the top of her head was sponge and had a comb-over (like Trump) to hide that fact. Ended up throwing it away. I never liked dolls but my BFF had one and the pressure got to me.
Thank you for your kind words. This disease is a nightmare. It's so hard to see your loved one slipping away and there's nothing you can do for them. It's a sneaky disease. It doesn't hurt the afflicted like a bruise or a broken bone would. It hurts everyone who loves them. Every single day. That pain doesn't ever go away, IMO. And there's no silver lining.
Hi, Lothar, thanks for the info. My dad's in a wonderful assisted living home 1/2 an hour from me. They are very good to him. I am disabled so I can't care for him myself. All his money is funneled into his care. When that runs out he will have to get gov't support. The sad thing is he and my mother never, ever budgeted for anything so nothing was put aside for their futures. I sold their home and that's all that's keeping him in this facility. It's a nightmare, truly. I live in a new home in another state from where most of my family still lives so I know no one down here. Perhaps I will try to make some online connections. Thanks for your help and concern.
