yes, it is going to be fun for her. she did not have a boyfriend at UD, so it’s going to be a good feeling to go there with him and a ring on her finger. The couple who is getting married were both in her class, and they were all in Rome together for that semester. Lilia and Jake are having a civil ceremony tonight at the courthouse, the church wedding is on 12/21 in Rome. Obv most UD kids are not going to have the wherewithal to go to that ceremony, so they are going to the Dallas one. xsteen and her affianced are planning to honeymoon in Rome next Sept though.

The Obamacare rollout imbroglio
Shows Barack’s disregard for punctilio
He says he’s high-tech
But he’s too loose, low dreck
The programs they’re using are paleo

When people get old and frail, they need help and shouldn’t be living 900 miles away from family. Our nephew is pushing the idea and I think it’s a good one, after all the trips to Houston and NJ for my dad over the past couple of years. Not to mention all the frustration of trying to care for someone so far away.

See my Post #5 in this thread:

Maryland Governor Hopeful Slammed for Attending Son's Underage Drinking Party

They are blasting him and justifiably so.


America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

EAGLES UP! Once more unto the breach, my friends, once more!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Is “Punctilio” the more respectable twin brother of “Cornholio”?

Took 3 years, to rebuild the house after my FIL passed, so my MIL could live here, and she was only several miles away, but with too much house, and too much that needed to be taken care of.

Happily, she def seems healthier now than then.
