I would eat your lasagna
No, that's not porny. That's not porny at all.

Omnis - your body needs to cut you a break, IMHO. Also? Omnis-Dr? Please to tell our friend things. Kthanksbye.
Sox, you crack'd me up. Thankfully had no drink in the mouth or pretty iMac woulda been wet.
I just found out my sister is blaming my parents for her marriage because they didn't do enough to try and stop her. Healing this family is going to be a long tough process.
and if they did stop her, she'd be all angsty for interfering with her life, right? Oy. I guess the whole family can't be perfect. I hope your folks know that she's just lashing out at herself, but using them as a weapon.
lasagna-istas: do you think it makes a difference whether you use cook or no-cook noodles?
if you got a pot big enough to cook them full, I say cook em. My sister would go the lazy route and not, and I thought her lasagna a bit crunchy. But, I tend to not drain my noodles quite enough, and add too much yummy sauce, so it's a bit messy the first time. But awesome perfect on reheat, which usually lasts all week.
My father's parents were/are Grandma and Poppa. My grandma is still alive, but all other grandparents are dead. My mother's father died before my parents even got married, and her mom was Nana [last name]. But that's all anectodal because she died when I was wee as well. Poppa died when I was 18. I miss him.
For my sister's kids, my parents immediately claimed Nana and Poppa as monikers. My BIL has 2 sets of parents, and I forget how they work that out. I think it's just Grandma and Grandpa [whatever last name is appropriate].
I should go to bed but I don't wanna.
I hope your folks know that she's just lashing out at herself, but using them as a weapon.
that makes sense
My current plan is to use the no-cook noodles and a preponderance of sauce

P.S. to Kristin; there's a shot of Elana with a great caption a few photos further along.
Ha! That is a great caption.
My mother's mother was Gram. My father's mother was referred to as "Farmer Granny" (made sense, she owned and ran a farm) in conversation, and addressed as Gramma. I knew (briefly) my father's stepfather as Grampa Lastname. Never knew my mother's father nor her stepfather.
Laga. I am more sorry that your sister is pulling this crap than I was sorry to hear about all the crap her husband had pulled. Crap, crap, crap. For your family's harmony, it is probably well and good that I shall never be anywhere near her. This kind of placing responsibility for one's own life onto other people is a hot-button issue with me, and I would so not have the self-control to mind my own business. In my book it is vampiric behavior, and I am furious on your parents' behalf.

I hope they asked permission to snap those ;)
Hey, so there I was doing dishes with the Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007 playing on the TV jamming. Jeff Beck comes up to play, and a bass solo ensues. I step out of the kitchen wondering who the heck is that? To my surprise a young lady is JAMMIN' like a mo-fo on the bass. I sat down to watch, dishes be damned. Anyone else hear of Tal Wilkenfeld? I just downloaded her only solo work from iTunes. I was impressed from the kitchen on crappy TV speakers. To learn she is only 21 and playing bass for like 3 or 4 years! Paint me impressed!
OK, back to dishes. Plus, God is playing now. Must listen.
I love the pictures of Frisco and his dad.
Maria!
Remember my two college friends whose brothers had cancer? One died. There's a nice column about him [link] I wish I knew what to say. I wish I could actually *do* something, but she's in Dallas and I am not. A card seems so completely useless.
o_a we took your advice and went out and listened to Tal on the web - 21? Imagine where she can go ...
