Have really enjoyed this thread.. funny stuff! Being mom of 4 sons I can relate to alot of it .. except I am not a pouter or eyelash-batter. Never occurs to me. *shrug*


RudeDawg.. my condolences regarding your mother, and all you had to go through.

Thank you. I appreciate that. It was a while back, but I still think about it daily.

Bilqis,

I’m in the Twin Cities. Did the tornado come close to you last night? Or are you farther North?

Four sons?!? My wife has that fear.

It was just before we found my mother's cancer. I got distracted after that. I just picked up some plans for a "reader's bed"; a queeen sized bed, with cabinets built into the sloping headboard. I've already figured some "improvements" for it, built in lighting to read by, and a coffee holding table for when I read. I know what to do, I just don't have anywhere to do it with !!! The local community college offers classes in woodworking, so I want to go by and see if they will let me use the shop to work on my own project, if I sign up for their class. We'll see....

HEHEHE It's not IN the gutter, darling, merely detours...and I love wood too...

God Bless you both, then. I've got a family member fighting cancer now. Had several others in the past. Very difficult journey for all involved.

Was there a tornado last night???
I'm way north.. in the middle of nowhere.

Tell your wife it could be worse... she could have FIVE sons

Bilqis,

An F2 to F3 touched down somewhere around Hinkley (I think). It flattened two 500 foot turkey barns. The turkeys had been moved out two weeks prior. However, all day long I have been trying to imagine what that area would look like with a 200 yard wide swath of turkey feathers that extends for two miles.

So are you up by Lake of the Woods? The Boundary Waters?


Cloudy,

What can I say?

My Aunt and Uncle live in Mora, MN. You might know where it is -- west of St. Cloud.

I'm coming up to the Twin Cities over the 4th of July for a wedding my wife is in. Her roommate from college is from St. Paul. My wife's grandmother lives in Cottage Grove. Yeah, I'm in Illinois, but I know a bit of the Minnesota life.
