My computer is back! It's working beautifully. It's lightning fast and the graphics are fantastic. I'm in love again.

Laura, I hope you go. You're such a wonderful person it would be terrible for them to miss the opportunity to bask in your presence.

All is well that ends in pizza.

They are throwing about all types of possibilities, including lupus, but I know that it's never lupus.

On one of the last pre-strike House eps, it turned out that the patient actually had Lupus.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I drink coffee and I drink tea. I prefer coffee in am and tea for the rest of the day, but it just depends. The only thing I can say for sure is that I prefer my caffeine hot.

I've been reading random blogs on wordpress. This is a new world to me - I'm surprised at the number of domestic bloggers that want to influence the world. I've got one or two post that I hope up the hit counts for a few things- but honestly, I am mostly just talking to myself.

I knew I forgot something Healthma~~ to your niece, Ginger

Yay for computerized Deena again!

I drink huge amounts of coffee, and enjoy tea too. I'll even use the coffee tea bags in a pinch.

Thank you for the encouragement. I wrote to BIL and told him we would attend and he wrote back all excited that I was coming. I thought about it and it has been a year and a half since I have seen him. We were so close and I love him as much as my own brother. All the old loved ones will just have more to hug! Seriously, you have helped so much. When did I get so insecure?

Just got home from Sweeney Todd. What a delight. It does occur to me that every time I tell the boys something is my favorite ever and that they must watch with me, it often ends up being something depraved and at the very least, odd. They loved it. Now I am going to force them to watch Angela Lansbury in it tomorrow because I adore that version.

Figure it out ~ma for your niece, Ginger. It is so frustrating to not be able to get a diagnosis.

Anyone around who might be able to help me put an approximate date on these photos by the clothing or hairstyles or something? [link] I'm nearly positive they were taken in Vienna; if not Vienna, then Budapest. I'm guessing twenties, but I can't get any more specific than that -- the person who took most of the other pictures in the box where I found these was born in 1914, so I'm not sure if he would have been old enough to take these, too.

(Some of the exposures are a bit weird -- I was mostly going for whatever would get the facial features clearest, to try to identify the people, and on some of them, that ended up obscuring some other detail, or making the overall photo too dark.)

beth, thank you for the reminder.

I drink far too much coffee, but mostly instant these days.

Thanks, Deena. The shoes do look like those, but I'm wondering how long they were in style. If the younger woman in the pictures is who I think it is, then these could have been very early thirties at the latest, and the negatives are glass, and my brief google tells me that people pretty much stopped using them by the end of the twenties.

I'm no expert at all, but the pictures seem later than 20s to me. They look similar enough to the pictures I've seen of my family that are 30s.
