I collect vintage tablecloths,doilies, Blue Willow china, old kitchen hand tools(sifters, strainers, etc) and i use or display all of them. I like to use the items if i can,especially things that belonged to my mother. Most of the pots i use are 40 yrs or more old. my mother's dutch oven i use at least twice a week is 56 yrs old. It is the most even heating pot i have ever seen. I also collect old food tins,from crackers, lard, syrup, etc. for display.:confused:

BEAUTIFUL !! congratulations, you look so happy--best to both of you!!

thanks for the trip down memory lane! i remember being able to walk around the block at night in our pajamas(sister and i) to cool off before bed. no worries! laying on cool concrete porch to play barbie dolls with my homemade furniture for her. spools of thread for table with scrap fabric on it for tablecloth, homemade doll clothes, homemade paper dolls and clothes for them, betsy mccall paper doll/clothes once a month when the mccalls magazine came to the house, the "jewel T" man, fuller brush man, milkman, walking to the neighborhood "little" store for a whole bag of candy for 10 cents, pourin' peanuts in a bottle of coke, drinking mountain dew from green glass bottle, hillbilly loaf bread, running around the whole neighborhood all day--only coming home when called(hollered at from porch),polishing my patent leather shoes with vaseline for church, washing out my one pair of gloves each week for church, home perms forced on you by your mother,having no family car--we walked everywhere or rode bus that went from marietta, ga to atlanta and all point in between for 30 cents if we needed to go into a bigger city for school clothes or something special. i used to make mud pies and make my little brother eat them, also played army with rocks when his plastic army men finally wore out. "cooking" outside with pine cones, leaves, flowers, etc. pretending, playing housewife. meeting my daddy at the top of our street when he was walking from bus stop further away,every day after work. he always had a small candy treat or a promise of getting us ice cream later after supper. these are just a few of my precious memories.......

Very Cute !! :biggrin1:

sorry, to see you go mandy. but it is completely understandable, given recent events. i, too, have thought about this and have not decided yet. i like to come to lbt for info and cheery thoughts when possible.. good luck to you

hi! i told my 9 and 12 yr old boys about 2 wks before i went to mexico. i went with a friend who is a nurse--they just knew i was having stomach surgery because of some problems and would have to eat a little differently. they still do not know it was to lose weight. they would have told the whole school and neighborhood and it was private info to me. i talked to them every day i was gone, they just worried til i was out of surgery. then when i was picked up at airport, they wanted to see pictures of mexico and wondered if they could ever go there. i had told them that the best dr for me was in monterrey when asked why dr was not around here. they both wanted to check it out on the map before i left for mx and wanted details about plane ride. my 9 yr old is the worrier and he just wanted to be sure if what would happen if i died-who would have them, would daddy be okay w/o me, and a lot of odd questions that only a boy his age could come up with !! when he was satisfied, he was calm and believed that i would be okay and he would be okay no matter what.:biggrin1:

thank you from me for putting another light on the issue. evidently, ya'll have a lot of personal history together. i hope all this is resolved for the best.

Faybie---there should still be a pharmacist that is reachable by toll free # at the mail order pharmacy. call 411 info or ask your ins co. for th m.o. pharmacy #:biggrin1:

i have only been here since march,so i do not really know anyone "personally". but if these allegations are true, it is very disturbing to me. i have read, but not posted on some of the very nasty, argumentative threads that have been around from time to time. when i noticed delarla was away, i also noticed that there were still nasty threads going on, so it could not have been ALL delarla, as some folks tried to say. many of the nasty, mean members are still here, posting all the time. i do wonder why delarla, lisa, would post an apology to all and then supposedly tell a lie about penni perhaps there is some truth to the allegations she made. i am sure that i am considered just another member who is a fan of one or the other, but i am not a particular fan of anyone....i read most posts by ALL members and get much info and enjoyment from what i read, except from the nasty, mean posts..that are locked now. perhaps, we need alex to intervene on the members behalf to settle this matter concerning penni. i hope allegations are not true, but i am also saddened that there is a chance that they are....i want to say, i am glad that lisa has admitted her part in any scams, etc.--and i wish her the best. and i hope penni can have this matter resolved for the best also.:straight

Congratulations On The Funding!! That Is Great--you Are On Your Way.........
