Yk, that's been a whole bunch of the joy of learning from other AC's for me as well: The Posts are great, I really appreciate you, the other Blogging "ULBs" and all the work you do. I also enjoy reading the comments. They always seem to give me more to think about/recall because there's just so much mental "stuff" (along with the physical "stuff")-a memory, an association I never thought of re: the "Roots" of all kinds of..."stuff" ;) <br />Aiye! Gawd, a life time of crap to be "examined," connected-to, processed etc. How I wish you and the other AC's were around 30/40 yrs. ago, but you're here now. And I'm grateful you are-"boy, howdy" (< a Q-ism) am I!<br />And I thank you from the bottom of this little ol' widow's heart. As does Troubs-the-geriatric-cat because keyboards are such great fun to flop on when I put the lap top aside for a min. to go to the bathroom/kitchen etc.<br />TWTundra Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262066568878267648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-69716839466494959832013-02-24T11:14:51.061-08:002013-02-24T11:14:51.061-08:00HA! Excellent post! You just inspired me to get ...HA! Excellent post! You just inspired me to get rid of the oh-so-cute little bedside table lamp that doesn't work. I'd been keeping it in the guest bedroom because it's so very cute and goes perfectly with the rest of the decor in there...but why? It's a $10 lamp and IT DOESN'T WORK.<br /><br />I am also proud of myself for the following: about 15 years ago, my NGran gave me some orange-and-brown "collector's plates". Nothing in my house is orange or brown. I do not collect or display plates. They went straight to a charity, literally on the way home from dropping the NGran off at the airport. About five years after that, she was again in my home and was offended that she didn't see "her" plates. I shrugged and said, "They didn't suit me". (Yes, I paid dearly for the truth.) Looking back now, I say, "Good for me!", LOL, was that the first step?<br /><br />--LuLooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-53131544815216946812013-02-23T18:45:08.329-08:002013-02-23T18:45:08.329-08:00Love this!

The gift from my parents that carried the biggest obligation was money, which is probably why they loosened the purse strings in the last ten years or so. They would demand to know how I spent it and after I was stupid enough to tell them they'd criticize my choices. Finally, I started to say, "Oh sorry, I thought it was a gift."<br /><br />As a "gift", they paid my daughter's tuition for her last year of university and then claimed the right to disapprove of her career choices! When she inherited money from her dad I suggested she give back the money to shut them up. My kick ass kid said, "Screw 'em. I earned that money by putting up with their BS."<br /><br />I'm so glad my kid didn't inherit the doormat gene!mulderfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500535934417551223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-61274759982916255532013-02-23T17:54:16.809-08:002013-02-23T17:54:16.809-08:00T-Dub is a genius.
