Grandkid #2, Arianna, from my kid #1.

She got stung by a bee earlier in the day. She was going back with mom shortly after the pic, so i figured a little bit of orange soda was OK.

The emperor has overstepped
By trying to mulct approval
For throwing bombs at Syria
Without Assad’s removal

We hear that military experts,
Instructors for the masses
Could be sent to train rebels?
Remove the rose-colored glasses-

You’ll have visions of advisors
LBJ, choppers, jungles and napalm-
American soldiers thanklessly dead
In a place known as Viet Nam...

I remember when those first “advisors” were sent by JFK, my dad-who was still in the military then-commented that it would bite us in the ass soon enough-and now here we go again...

my grandfathers both died before i was born so i have no idea what i would have called them, but i think the word GRANDPAP or just plain PAP, as used by Pittsburgh dad to mean grandpa is hilarious and i love using it!

I just measured and my cabinets are 12” but the actual space for dishes is 11” - bottom cabinets are, of course, deeper so that is where my platters are stored

Wow - does anyone do what they are paid for anymore? I hired a group to do my lawn and was so disappointed in the work, as well as their scheduling I had to let them go. I hate to admit the illegals do better work than Americans when it comes to yards around here!

well i guess i believe him that 12” are standard, but i know what left my house was deeper than this, and seems he should have realized it and at least said, hey, you guys will be losing a bit of space bc the standard cabinets are more shallow, but will more than make up for it with the additional cabinets you are putting in.

Is it uncommon elsewhere? To my daughter my dad was “Pop Pop” and my wife’s dad is “Pappy.”

It sounds really nice - I’m sure you are looking forward to getting the kitchen back and all that mess gone! I get antzy when my house is a mess - I can’t concentrate well when things are so out of place
