That’s what happens to all of my dollars...they are gone before I even get to see them.
It’s OK. I was gone for an hour, then I couldn’t get the laptop to behave so I shut it off while I had a breathing treatment. So now I’m catching up on the things that were posted while I was gone.
I love dem Squee!
Banks even have the new silver dollars and I collected them for a while, but then there was a three-year freeze on COLA raises for us, but the cost of living kept going up, so I had to spend them, too...probably for utilities...or food. I’ve just never been able to replace them.
It’s ... it’s ... magic!
I’ve had two of the chemical tests, and what they showed was that there was nothing wrong with my heart...it is very strong. But my lungs were causing the angina I kept having, so I was given a nebulizer and three different medications.
Since then, (maybe 18 months) I haven’t had even a twinge of angina. If I feel the numbness in my left arm or the pain between my shoulder blades, I have a breathing treatment and the pain is gone almost before I am done.
:o]
I hope your test reveals nothing to worry about!
Dark magic at that!
Really don’t have any call to handle them. They just sit quietly in the glass door book case.
I think my grandmother had made several handkerchiefs from the drawing linen during the war. Soaked and washed the remnants from end of roll. Very fine weave and soft. She embroidered ( needlepoint?) borders and floral designs on them. Shoot, just remembered, she had embroidered a wall cloth for the kitchen with several pouches sized for storing paper bags. Had Delft blue figures of cute dutch children copied from dish patterns. Wooden shoes and windmills.
Your grandmother would probably have crocheted or tatted the edges on the handkerchiefs, depending on what was popular in her area/village. She would have embroidered the designs, either in outline stitch or cross stich, but no matter what methods she used, I’m sure her work was beautiful.
My work is good, but I don’t think it could hold a candle to some of the work by the ladies of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.

Just read it and commented on it.
Sorry to hear about Piper. Here’s hoping that Maggie Dog has found her forever home w/Anoreth.
Babydog must have emitted an aura of great personal (caninonal? dogonal?) power to get Dubsy to move with just a look. Chainsaw, OTOH, mouths off mercilessly until Crowbar leaves just to get away from the racket. I should put a stop to that. Will work on it.
Thank you!
I love getting feedback. I don’t get much.
I figure feedback is a good ego booster, and if nothing else, it will give you incentive to continue to write.
It was a cute story! :o])
I would love to write for a living.
Unfortunately, I’m partial to eating and having a roof over my head.
It’s the same stupd problem I have with fishing for a living.
If I weren’t so blasted picky!
Oh...that’s just WRONG on so many levels!!
WHEW! Good news. So, now you’ve got a metric for her use of “messed up.” Makes ya wonder how she would have chosen to communicate the issue had that arm actually been broken. “REALLY messed up,” perhaps?
Kids. Ya gotta love em.
