I can't let Glenn be the token male in the cabinet. I can make a really good cup of coffee (and bake a thing or two for those not on gluten-free). And I agree with MrsD - we could use some common sense in our government and our governing figures . . and Melody has gobs of that . . to go with her abundant humor, which is surely sorely needed (not sure if that's a pun or just badly worded, hmm, sounds like both, i'm fraid).

Guess what!!!

Alan and I just came home from visiting my friend in the hospital. She was so happy to see us. Alan wore this silly Santa hat.
We stayed from 1:30 p.m. till 5 p.m.

It was a wonderful visit and we are so glad we did it.

So Merry Merry to all and hope you all had a nice Christmas day.

And Mr. Rfinney. You can make me a good cup of coffee any day.
I love Dunkin Donuts Coffee.

take care,
Melody

Your friend is lucky to have you!

We just got home, and had a minor emergency. I had bought my son the
requested food processor, so he was trying it out, slicing the potatoes,
for mashies, and sliced the tip off his finger! About a 1/2 inch a moon slice, replete with blood everywhere! I still don't know how he managed to do it, really.

So I had to do the meal... and do first aid on him. My hubby went to a 24hr
Walgreen's and we could find the right bandages, but when I left, it was still bleeding. So tomorrow he will have to probably go to an urgent care. There is nothing to "stitch"...but maybe a finger guard will help it some. It will throb tonight I expect.
He poo poohed it..saying he has had worse, but you know how Mom's are.

It has been a while since I have had to deal with "blood"... so I was a bit out of practice. We couldn't find the bit to stick back on (it will grow back you know), and we don't know where it ended up...cough cough.

Oh my, you poor thing and your poor son. Thank God, he has a mom who knows how to bandage things.

I've just bought a V-Slicer and I always use the safety holder. It would be soooo easy to slice off a tip of a finger with one of those things.

Hope his piece of finger grows back!!!!

Take care,
Melody

Give him a hug for me.

His finger stopped bleeding finally on Thursday.

I wonder now what was worse? Losing our Xmas gift, which was to be a meal
prepared and served by him...on his doting parents?

Or worrying that he would get blood poisoning from this dreadful injury?

I really worried about the injury for days...! A real mom moment!
He cannot still use the guitar, but he can type (at work).

I am planning on a raincheck for the meal, only he does not know this yet:icon_wink: LOLOLOL

Thanks for the positive thoughts!

As jody foster once said, it would be an awful waste of space if there were not others. I feel they are there. Our universise is expanding, each planet and star moving more away from each other and faster too, not slower. It would be hard to space travel, but I do believe there are others who can. The universe is very old and had time to develope civilizations. So much we don't know. If our planet could stop warring with each other, gosh what we could learn. All countries have their war memorials, don't we get it yet? I live on the fla. coast. I am worried about our gulf. We would also solve so many of our medical conditons if our strengths could be put into medicine. just a thought or two. ginnie
