:) I'm begging horse owners for manure for the garden, so don't worry about a couple of cats.

:) After a conversation like that I would likely excuse myself to go to the ladies room and never be seen again by the prospective date. Someone else wrote that women are alone by choice - I know this one is. I like my own company and this way I'm still hoping that one day my prince will...

What did you feed them? Mine never get to be taller than my waistline and have few tomatoes.

:) Unfortunately, yes - gray hair is dead and does not absorb color as do the "live" neighbors and I read one of you colors once every THREE months??? :) Try root touch up every two weeks. With the ghastly colors available in Hungary I do have to bring mine from the US - that's a lot of hair...

:) Had nothing to do with my age - was barely 18 at the time Viva Las Vegas was made. I loved Elvis, and Ann Margret was dancing with him...sooo, hair color and dancing lesson. :) Never went to a live concert of Elvis but the haircolor became my own and it is still with me...unlike Elvis. :)

:) There is a saying in Hungarian that roughly translates to: If I keep my mouth shut, my head won't hurt. I bet, by now you too are wondering what possessed you to be so quick in having to convey the facts. If you really felt that great about the fellow at #2, having a cup of coffee with...

:) You are a marketing genius! I bet you no longer have a problem asking anyone out on a date, after reading this, women will be asking YOU out! Clever. Say, can you come out to play? :)

I use it to re-string my custom jewelry, sew up leather bags...basically anything you want securely attached to whatever. :)

See, that is simply something I can't comprehend. The mining equipment, the danger to the miners...how can it be less expensive than wind farms. At least the US government (as well as Germany) subsidizes the building, in Hungary you need to apply for permission - this, of course, means that you...

The same way that working at home is not for everyone, neither is living alone. It worked out well for me, although by now I'm so used to only the cats and myself in the house, that I could not tolerate a change. Was divorced when I was 27. Then I was too busy with work, the children and going...

Weather was great last week and so I did as much as I physically could outdoors, clearing off the waste from the winter and burning most of it. Saturday did some more pruning and stained the terrace beams before the rain. Sunday and today it is cool and rainy, I'm happy to stay indoors with a...

It is difficult for people to admit they are wrong, imagine a company where there are so many to blame who would need to apologize. :)

:) about 10 years ago my date made me feel old (but I still prefer younger men) when getting ready to go to the DC mall to hear Judy Collins I was very excited and he innocently stopped and asked "so, who's Judy Collins" In general PAIN makes me feel old. I liked it much better when I had no...

Basically what we did now is transfer the title entirely to my brother's name. The rest of the figuring was simply done on a handshake - I've also foregone a chunk of the cash in favor of my brother as it was he taking care of Mother during the last three years of her life.

I've heard it said that there is no such thing as "too rich" or "too skinny" For me, I don't believe there is such thing as a house too big for me. I once house sat for friends with a mansion that had seven bathrooms. :) It was perfect! "This place is a bit big for me, but it's gorgeous 6...

:) You are doing what I did after 40 years when I returned to Hungary. Enjoy even the tedious details - it makes you feel able.

:) I would think you want to be friendly with the dentist not the office manager. In any case wait until the work is done before giving any kind of lessons...but then, it is just the coward talking in me.

$2000 for a root canal and crown????? Try $600 in Budapest. My dentist is great and she now accepts the fact that I need lots of Novocain. :) Initially, she wanted to try on my crown without it. no, no, no For the same amount you can take a vacation to come here and get it done.

Is it really anti-social when you are at a place designated for a task that is not exactly something we crave to do, but recognize the benefits. Not to mention the fact that you NEED to pay attention to your body while doing the workout to get the feedback. Socializing is fun when that is...

The sweet days when we moved to Texas in 1972 and gasoline was 21 CENTS per gallon. I buy it by the liter now but $2/liter? Ouch, that's close to $8 per gallon. More than innocence was lost so many years ago. Things always make me nervous when I see something clearly and wonder why those in...

P.S. another point that may have been mistaken. I am not interested in him selling the house, but rather that he does not lose the house. I'm comfortable getting my share whenever in the future he decides he wishes to sell - so that is not the issue. I don't want the property lost - period.

Thank you all for you consideration and advice. There is no easy way out of this and surely I understand we are not alone in this predicament. In case I was not clear, as indicated by a remark in response, the house was purchased jointly by my brother and our Mother. So I do not "feel" that...

Too many good ones to choose from but the 60s - 70s for the most part. Billy Joel is on top of my list but who could forget the charm and talent of Bobby Darin? Aretha, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick and yes, I love Shakira's performances. Forever amazed at all the moving parts! Let's...

Know what you mean... Before leaving the US I lived in VA and commuted to DC. Bus, metro or gas and parking - either way is very costly. Simply can't feel sorry for someone making 250K, however, I don't begrudge them for wanting more...just don't whine, please. I'm now living on 17K/year and...

Sorry, sorry - you said California, I'm still thinking of the Japanese events.
