Barb, you are one of the sweetest and most helpful posters here. I hope your
day is as great as you deserve. Also, you seem to enjoy life to the fullest.
By the way, I'd appreciate it if you sent me you product list. I'm craving
some of that sweet and hot (or is it hot and sweet) mustard that I even dip
potato chips in. It's truly addictive.

Aw, shucks. Truth is I'm moody - a true Moonchild. And I don't suffer
fools readily. And I'll carry a grudge a long way unless the offender
has apologized. And I've probably got a seat on the bench in the first
row right in front of the furnace in Hell. We'll toast wienies.
>I hope your day is as great as you deserve.
My day was a kick. Saw Tony Oliva at lunch today at Don Pablo's. Had a
great chocolate cake thang for dessert there, too. JUST returned from
Timberlodge Steak House (5 blocks away) with my leftover prime rib. Can
you say steak and eggs for breakfast?

Sure. "I'm good, but I'm not cheap." That's another motto. :-)

>mustard that I even dip potato chips in. It's truly addictive.
Close enough. Sweet-Hot Mustard. A chap I used to work with uses it
for dunking pretzels. Whatever. :-)
Thanks for your kind and generous words, Karlie.

I'm sorry, Dora. I just began to write to this newsgroup under this screen
name and don't think I had it set up right. I made one change so I hope it's
better now.
Thanks for asking. What will help me is to keep my brothers at a distance for
now. One calls me up and says hateful things about Dad. The other one only
corresponds by email and takes most of what I write the wrong way and strikes
out against me, getting very offended. And I'm the one who doesn't speak her
mind and tries to keep the peace. It upsets me every time I deal with them.
I sent Dad a pound of chocolate cherries, a pound of fruit creams and a red
chocolate rose today.
About food, I'm making some spaghetti sauce to cook all night in the slow
cooker.

It seems fine now. Phew, I thought I was a suspect in your book. ;-)

It's their great loss. I feel for you and your
Dad - it's never a good time when there's friction in the family, and
especially now. I do not understand why the peacemakers always seem to
bear the brunt. You're doing the right thing.

"Sweets for the sweet". He must be going through a lot of pain right now
and you must be bringing him solace. Stay like you are and hopefully your
brothers (and wives) will calm down. If they don't, then as I said, "It's
their loss". You could try ignoring all their flak entirely - that would
throw them off track, I'm sure. Best of luck to you and I hope things soon
straighten out, for your sake.

Funny - I had spaghetti last night! Hardly a dinner for a hot summer's
evening, but what the Hey.
Thinking of you.

Because you can unload all over a peacemaker wth little or no consquences.
As they want peace... not risk a unholy war like others in the family.

And my instinct? Tell them, "Don't bother me until you can be civil and
show some compassion. Otherwise, get lost." But then, that's me and I'm
not always a peacemaker.

Nope. I hit the St. Paul market with a friend around 9:45 to get
berries, then stopped at Rainbow to get mangoes for the mango-strawberry
jam, then came home famished a snarfed down a ham sandwich and a cup of
Maruchan noodle-something. Rob helped me clean the berries and I'm
about 10 minutes away from Mango-Strawberry Jam without Kiwi Fruit.

Hell, it would be fun! Some s'mores, too?
I am also a moonchild and don't suffer fools gladly and have my moods.

Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams,
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
Cross the valleys and streams,
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world's on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride
..Ring them bells St. Peter
Where the four winds blow
,Ring them bells with an iron hand
So the people will know.
Oh it's rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down
Upon the sacred cow
..Ring them bells Sweet Martha,
For the poor man's son,
Ring them bells so the world will know
That God is one.
Oh the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled
With lost sheep.
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf,
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
,Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
..Ring them bells, for the time that flies,
For the child that cries
When innocence dies
..Ring them bells St. Catherine
From the top of the room
Ring them from the the fortress
For the lilies that bloom.
Oh the lines are long
And the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance
Between right and wrong.
Ring them bell st. Cahterine
from the top of the room.
,Ring them from the fortress
For the lilies that bloom.
Oh the lines are long
And the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance
Bewteen right and wrong.

In your dreams.
Just got back a while ago from the Twins game. I took pictures for you
-- of our brand spanking new light rail trains, etc. Opened yesterday
with free rides offered yesterday and today and Niece Patty and I rode
the train from her neck of the woods to the HumperDome to see the
Twinkies look stupid in front of the Milwaukee Braves and 23, 597 other
people. Three or four runs walked in. A stupid catcher mistake on the
FIRST PLAY of the game. Tori Hunter going for the out in deep center
and poking the ball over the fence for a home run (that wasn't stupid,
just an unfortunate happening). Lots of naysayers about the projected
results of lightrail transit here, but I can see me driving north a bit
to pony up $1.25 to ride the train to downtown ( to within two blocks
from Dayton's -- er, Marshall Field's). A girl can do a fair amount of
damage shopping in the 2-1/2 hours that the buck and a quarter would get
me. Anyways, I t'ought of you when I took some pics of the cars. Took
us an hour to get one on the way home -- the other 24, 396 people had
the same plan -- go south on the Hiawatha Line.
OB Food: I called for Chinese pick-up; they were closed. I picked Rob
up and we headed for Mexican comida; no parking available (that means
the place would be crowded). So we headed for home and stopped at
Famous Dave's for ribs -- Rob had some kind of spicy smoked sausage
thang. Different than the Market -- not bad, actually.

Thank you, Sir.

For sure! Twice! On Sunday, Niece Patty and I took it from the VA
Hospital to the HumperDome--it stopped right across the street from the
Dome. Coming home was a challenge -- because of the free rides that day
and the novelty of it all, and the chance to not pay for parking at a
Twins game, there were a boatload of folks along the downtown stops and
they were metering access down there so that the folks at the
easternmost stop downtown (the dome) would be able to get on, too.
Otherwise, the trains would have been filled by the Target Center on the
western edge of the line.
Rob and I went down on Monday for a lark - we got on at Fort Snelling
(they have a park and ride lot there) and went all the way downtown --
it took 30 minutes. Off at 5th and Nicollet then a short walk to
D'Amico and Sons at Gaviidae for a bite of lunch, then back home -- on
the same $1.25 ticket that got us there. Rob could've ridden for 50
cents, but it would have meant two ticket transactions and the train was
there when we were buying our tickets. I look forward to going
downtown again to do some shopping, although Dayton's/Field is the only
department store left downtown. I want to do it again soon, just so I
get familiar with the operation, etc. Also, there's a dive on Franklin
that I want to check out. :-)
