I used to order sweet potato pancakes at Slim Goodie's thinking they would be like larked but with sweet potatoes (they had regular latkes on the menu, so not an unreasonable assumption) but they were more like pumpkin pancakes but with sweet potatoes. Not bad, by any means, but not what I was hoping for.

Hahaha like that tag closes

Josh is my brother, Dominic is my eldest nephew who can't be 16. He was just born unexpectedly in a xmas Eve hail/tornado/thunderstorm in Texas (where they haven't lived in 14 yrs.)

Got it. Still gobsmacked by passage of time, but have the people straight in my head for now.

It is impossible that Dominic is now old enough to legally drive. It is also impossible that my father just turned 80. Time is moving entirely way too fast. I would really like it to slow down.

Yep and yep re: passage of time. Nilly sent me a picture of her children next to a hanukkiah yesterday - they are so big! Impossible.

When I joined here my niece wasn't old enough for a cell phone. Now she's married and due to give birth any day. Time, man.

I have a dental appointment at a new place today. Wish me healthy bony protrusions!

Good luck with the dentist, Calli. I found one nearby with good reviews that I need to check out. I love going to the dental school, but it is over an hour each way in heavy Fort Lauderdale traffic and just too time consuming.

Good luck, Calli!

Best of luck, Calli!

My nephew was 2 (or almost 2) when I started hanging around here. He'll be 19 in a couple weeks.
