Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Yes, it was, but everyone had a wonderful time. About 200 people showed up. We had tables set up in the courtyard for agencies to hand out information, then the activity room and library were used for blood pressure, cholesteral, balance, etc. testing. We had the courtyard decorated so it looked quite festive.

We also served box lunches from the kitchen next door. They make the BEST food. It's all Glatt Kosher and the set up is unreal. They even have a flash freeze machine because they send food to 6 other senior centers in the city as well as to home-bound seniors.

But I'll tell you, at 1 PM, when we closed it all out, I crashed. The adreniline had been pumping for three days while we pulled all the final details together, and then WHAM, it was over and we were all exhausted. I left, as usual, at 3 PM, and everyone was kind of sitting around, congratulating each other, but not having the energy to move.

My "boss" was so thrilled at how well it all went, she's already thinking about next year's health fair. All I'm thinking about is bed. bounce
So glad everything went well today

I do, I find it neat how it all fits together. Some of it karma, some pre ordained, some dumb luck. On my fathers side alone there are so many things that fit together of people that didnt' even know each other. I started with pictures, working on the rest. Have a great aunt that did my grandma's side, I just have to document my stuff with her and her family.
Sounds like you're on your way then. My mom started with a bunch of old photos and letters and it took off from there.

Well Tree, I hope your party here helped cheer you up a bit. Unfortunately, it is 1:30am here and I got to get to bed, hungry at this point of all the good food talk. Will have to look for a polish restaurant downtown as there are a bunch of ethnic places down there and pick some stuff up. Thanks for sharing my grandma's stories, I love her dearly and never tire of talking about her. Hang in there you will get through.
Good night all.

Hi all, first want to thank all that Prayed for my Dad last night. he passed away at 1:45 today EST. My sister inlaw called me about 1:00 and told me he couldn't say anything but he could hear and understand and she was gonna put the phone up to his ears and for me to say goodbyes. She did that and I only coulld tell how much I loved him and will miss him, and then said Daddy, you can let go now. It's gonna be O.K. I From the song , that Crystal Shawandra wrote and song.from. My sister inlaw said he raised his hand when I said that, and 25 minutes later she called and said he had passed. But I want to thank you all for your support and kindness thru this this rough time
Oh Tree, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your Dad. So happy for you that you had the opportunity to say some very special words to him before he passed. I didn't have that chance although my sister did. Memories of him will always be with you - cherish them.

Quote from challs :
Speaking of furry kids, whats the latest update on the allergy battle with yours??
Cowboy

The vet does not think his itching problems are from allergies. Treatment for fleas (a new one called Revolution from the vet), antibiotics and medicated baths have helped a lot. He had a yeast infection on his skin. He is still itching more than I'd like, so it may take another round of antibiotics, as they don't like to do that too much all at once. It is much better than it was though.
I changed his name from Wilson to Zeek, because Wilson was his homeless name, and he never responded to it. Wilson reminded me too much of a basketball found on a desert island. When I called him Zeek, he wagged his tail and was attentive...so that was that. He's a sweetie and seems happy, and so am I.

I can't remember the name but they would make like a baklava type flaky dough and roll it out then fill it with poppy seed or nuts/raisins then roll, bake then slice. Very good.
also would make soda bread and Yiddish bread was so good. Then of course potato pancakes called Latka's

are you thinking of rugala

tooo funny. Congrats on the win
Thanks!! It was one of my favorite wins lately!!! Cereal!!! See where my priorities are!!! I would rather have a bowl of cereal when I start craving sweets because Cheerios are heart healthy and so is the milk. Not as good as cookies and ice cream but it helps the sweet tooth in a way that I dont regret later

Do you know if there is a time frame for these drawings...when the entries need to be in? We have won two, but the rules state one per household per month. It seems they are giving away more than that, as though they are not getting the response they expected. More tee shirts for the Funny Farm!
