My fridge had an optional icemaker. I opted out. The fridge is constantly making phantom ice making sounds, like it perhaps feels cheated out of it's ability to conceive ice....

I think stainless steel is the new avocado green. It's really hip right now but in twenty years my kids will laugh at it the way I did about my parents' green appliances.

I love reading about your outings and such. They remind me of being newly married, myself, without children...a very happy time.

I would have had a heart attack, too! At least you didn't go shopping somewhere and get an Insufficient Funds. I've had that happen and it's the most humiliating experience.

This is my favourite time of year. Perfect for sleeping at night but warm afternoons spent in the back yard.

No matter what you're writing about, Martin, you manage to make me laugh.Your arms look like my Dad's arms (he also takes blood thinners and NEVER gets a headache) and your pharmacy looks like my parents cupboard but you're all enjoying life, no? And that's what matters the most....

I have to limit my thrift shop time, too, or else I end up buying WAY too much stuff...for me...for the kids....for my friends kids....for my friends! It's almost like the purchase doesn't count when the price is so low which is ridiculous but I do it to myself all the time.

I'm in desperate need for a new (to me) fall wardrobe. I have next to nothing and never replace anything when it falls apart or stops fitting or whatever. But my friends kids....

My mother has a print out of those words hanging in her kitchen for the same reasons you would like a statue. I can walk into her house, all fired up about something or other and there they are...talking me back down again.

Every time I read something you've written, I'm struck by what a wonderful and generous lady you are. I certainly hope that the folks in your life realize how fortunate they are to have you loving them.

Aren't you glad you went?I've never been to a reunion of any kind, mostly because I hated most of the people I went to school with.

No moral to the story? I beg to differ. Realizing that they really *were* good times and yet not living in the past sounds like a pretty good moral to me.

God, I *hate* iCarly! I felt really badly about Julian watching TV in the mornings (it doesn't run non stop or anything...there are just certain shows he's really addicted to, like the Cat In the Hat) until I read an article about the language benefits of television watching for children with Autism. Now, I don't feel like a bad mother.

But iCarly....have I mentioned that I HATE that show?!
Comment on TV Free Days - Sept 11, 2011 7:59 AM ()
I barely watch any TV, aside from a few favourite TV shows. I watch more DVDs than anything. But with that said I can't imagine what Julian would do without Treehouse.

Wow. I just ate half a box of casino mix. After reading this, I now feel pretty ashamed of myself.

I'm so impressed and proud of you.

Oh, I hate it when reality hits me in the forehead!

While you and I have a significant age difference, I understood this post and understand where you're coming from. Part of the reason I was away for so long was because of an on-going issue with my health and I faced much of what you are writing about, only for me it was more, "Who will take my children? Who will continue with Julian's care?", etc. Very, very difficult questions with even more difficult answers.

My Dad gave up his daily newspaper a few years ago for the same reasons and hasn't looked back. He does, however, watch television news and listens to the news on the radio a lot.

I moved and can now have highspeed wireless Internet. I miss that dial up sound.

While I don't *really* understand this post , I had to smile because I have missed reading you so much.
