val, we will provide you with lots of great coffee when you come! We are sort of stuck with so-so quality beans at the moment, but we have several great coffee options.
YAY! This is definitely a diamond shoes are too tight moment, but it's kind of funny too.
Health~ma to your neice, Ginger!
Yay for the new, improved and working computer, Deena!
I can do coffee or tea (even instant coffee in a pinch). If neither is available, a can of caffeinated soda will work, too.
Hil, I'll chime in and say the mid-20's, too. They're fabulous, by the way and look like a genuine family treasure.
Thanks, Cashmere. (Right now, I'm trying to resist the urge to spend another hour fiddling with the exposure and contrast and such on several of them. I've got a whole lot more pictures to scan, and right now, I'm mostly just going for getting them up online to see if any relatives can identify them. Getting them to look good can wait.)
Some things never change...

Hivemind question...
I will not be checking my home voice mail while I'm on vacation (Verizon will charge me $0.90 a minute on my cell, so the phone won't be used much at all), so I need to leave a message on my VM telling people that if they need to reach me to call my cell. I was going to leave a message saying that I was fazing out that number and not checking the voice mail, so if you need to reach me, please call my cell. But, last night my dad was like, "But that's lying." But, I don't want to say I'm on vacation, because that leaves me open to a break-in (though, it's unlikely).
Also, my cell phone will have a message saying that I will only be returning urgent calls.
So, thoughts?
Lie and don't tell your Dad.
No call forwarding feature on your home account?
Just leave a message saying that if someone needs to reach you quickly, call your cell number. No need for an explanation.
I'd have to pay extra for it. And I really don't want Omaha Steaks and other random people just being directly forwarded to my cell, which will actually have a message saying that I'm out of town and only returning urgent calls.
I agree with Anne. Please call my cell, no explanation. People that matter know you are out of town, others don't need to know.
