I was doing a little housekeeping in my netflix queue and I discovered that three of my live-streaming items have an "until 6/1/13" date in the notes. One is a pretty old series (Slings and Arrows), and none are particularly popular (another one is a 2009 documentary and it's been in my queue for over a year). I can't seem to find anything about it on their website. Does anyone know what that's all about?

Yes, we lost Mary and then Daria (a longtime supporter/member of HSC) very close together, IIRC. It was heartbreaking. I thought that remembrance page was a lovely idea.

how fun!

May she rest in peace. Thanks for letting us know and sharing the obit.

I'd put the propolis on Craigslist and see. How about other beekeepers? Are you on a local beekeeping list?

I'm a former beekeeper. We lost our last hive last year right before we moved, and don't really have a great spot for them in our new yard. I still have several frames in my freezer with comb and honey on them in hopes of having a starter for our next bees. Alas, I think I need to give up and say we're not going to have bees for the foreseeable future. I got 1/2 a steer coming so I really need the room too. I was the main beekeeper too. But I didn't really do it for the honey, I liked the idea of helping the bee population.

well i wouldn't even do it for a family member, so yeah, I think it sounds a bit strange. Nice - but strange.

so glad to see this update and so very glad to see you have such a great support system. :grouphug:

I agree with the others... and side with you. At the hospital is not the time to bring 4 kids. Do that when she's had a chance to be with the baby and relax at home. Definitely call her and chat her up. She's probably love to talk about her little one. FYI My daughter is having our first grandchild, and her two youngest siblings will not be allowed to visit her and baby at the hospital. Hospital policy is ONLY young siblings of the baby not the parents. Believe me, there has been much weeping and lamenting over this.

What a lovely explanation of her faith and life choices... and good for him for manning up and apologizing.

I think there's a way you can fix it yourself. Try editing your first post and see if you can change the header there.

I love this thread.... would definitely watch a mocumentary reality show with the real Cardashians. ;) :laugh:

I have no words of wisdom, but I'm sorry it took a full year for them to acknowledge her needs.... glad she's getting the help now. :grouphug:

so cute!!

so sorry :grouphug:

I with the don't invite camp. I wouldn't confront them. They're adults... they should know how to behave. Unless there's some dementia going on ,it's not your responsibility to parent your parents. Let the girls give them a mini recital at home.

me, me, me!! I'll join!! I'm pretty die-hard about LOTR... and thinks they should have never made them into movies in the first place.

Moonstruck. Ugh. Worst movie ever - and totally overrated. Cher and Cage together - could it get any worse (probably only if Keanu had been in it too). I think Cher won the Oscar for that movie too. Some great actress was robbed that year.

I hated the LOTR movies too, but not for the reason you stated. I'm a "keep true to the books" type of person and those movies were miscast and poorly done, especially #2 & #3

I don't. I've seen it happen I had a friend very similar to yours. Very committed mom, homeschooler, and Christian. She went through a divorce. Got herself through school with a good homeschool friend helping her with the kids. Then.... she met another man. Everyone was dumped..... I felt so bad for the kids, and her friend who practically put her life on hold to help her get through the divorce crisis. `

often in the obit there is a "in lieu of flowers" notice that names a charitable organization or two that the deceased's family has chosen. I would wait for that so that you know it's going to something they would have appreciated. Then also send a nice sympathy card, and you can tell them you made a donation in your uncle's memory. but, also, my dad got a couple of very nice potted houseplants, as well as a small "memory garden" terrarium for my mom's funeral that were sent by family/friends. He was very touched to have something like this in his home to remember Mom by. I suspect they were not nearly as expensive as a funeral flower arrangement, but perhaps similar in price to a charitable donation?? Just an idea to check into.

I so agree. It's very nice that they included the hard work they all had to go through, and didn't make it into some kind of fairy tale.

ugh. What a bother. We didn't offer a choice at my dd's wedding either. But the thing that really burned me was the people who did finally RSVP that they were coming and then didn't show up! They heard that another cousin, with whom they weren't speaking, was coming and opted to ditch the day. I definitely think someone needs to start a retro trend of the wedding PARTY going out for a nice dinner after the wedding.... that's it.

Agreeing with other $30 or $40 is a very nice gift. She'll need the money for supplying her dorm room (or paying for books).

Yes, I do too, but it happened in my state
