I have a bed :-) The delivery guys assembled it :-) Already one of the legs is wobbles :-( *sigh* they left half an hour before I discovered the flaw. is not awesome. I still don't got a new mattress. But if I had a mattress then I'd have to decide if the wobble was still structurally sound and if it should go on the bed. Cheers for the bed, jeers for the wobbles. Hope it is has been resolved and you have both a comfy bed and mattress . . . . I am trying to type with a 2 yr old putting her fingers on the keys. Ugh. Nope, but the bed shop say they'll send some replacement parts so a local handyman can fix it. So that's nice. Also today I very nearly donated my piano to a charity, but the people they sent to pick it up had no equipment and couldn't see how the thing had got in here in the first place, so instead I still have a piano. 2 yr old sounds cool.

Granddaughter Maddi won the Robert Redford scholarship to Santa Fe University of Art and Design at the University of New Mexico! THEY invited HER to come and interview. They were so blown away by her work that they brought it to Redford to review and he LOVED LOVED LOVED it. $20K a year plus living stipend! Won't cover it ALL, but will cover a LOT. She can also transfer to UCLA later, or for her Masters. Yes, we are all blown right out of our socks!

It took me months to give away a piano. So few people have what is needed to actually move a piano . . . and so few understand what they need. I had several people say "yes!" they would take it, no problem! Then they would show up with just one friend and a pick up truck. Or they would ask their spouse and find out that the spouse was totally against it. I thought I would never get rid of it. Finally, a girl came with her boyfriend, two brothers, and uncle and her dad, one of those furniture movers on wheels, and a truck. Whew.

We had the same problem with a pool table, especially because the top was one solid piece of slate. I finally called a pool table company, got the name of their delivery company, called them and got an estimate (like $400), added that to the price I was asking -- you'd be surprised how people are happy to pay more if they hear that all the moving details are already settled. HI! DIANE: CONGRATS TO GRAND-DAUGHTER!

May to NYC to see youngest get MA then on to England with sister wedding in VA in June (oldest daughter of sister with breast cancer -- trying to make it to the wedding) lots of church related projects yada yada. Hope your knee is feeling better and sorry to hear about your sister. Yes, it does sound as if you've been very busy. I assume you have not "yada-yada-ed" anything good. Too busy here; I am going to have to stop taking the little ones once my present 23 month old goes home (maybe in a few months, maybe never . . . mom just got out of jail. She's saying all the right things, but that is typical. If she lives up to them and manages to get the little girl back and keep her - that remains to be seen. I started taking the babies so that my teenager (Roxy, 16) would stop trying to get pregnant (yes, she was doing that this past summer!) and talking about how she wants a baby, they are so cute, etc. Well, reality has indeed cured her of that. Roxy now says: "I don't want to have a baby until I'm in my 30's!!. So I have enjoyed the babies, but they are wearing me out and Roxy has gotten the message. After this one, I'll just wait for that grandchild when Roxy is in her 30s. Roxy is doing fine; fairly typical challenges consider how atypically she started out. The 19 yr old (Mariah) continues living with her super-objectionable bf. I will not let him in the house; I will not talk to him; I will not listen to her trying to defend him; I won't let him talk to the 16 yr old - all for very good reasons. Mariah calls every once in a while. She sounds OK, and has seen the light on some things, but remains unwilling to be without a man. She wants to try to keep a connection to me and her sis, I think, because part of her knows that she's hitched her wagon to a falling star. We'll see what happens. Good to catch up!

also: my computer used to keep me logged in for years at a time, now the past 2 times I've come by I've had to log in. what's up with that? It did that to me and I had to choose something on the log in screen . . . I can't remember what it said, something like "stay logged in" but it wasn't that. Maybe "save my login?" I remember that I had to do it a couple of times before it "took." If you're doing something like deleting history and cookies in between coming to the board, that could be erasing your log in. I had a hard time remembering my login - but it came to me. Wasn't it 2002 when we started conversing on ScoopMe? I can't believe it's been so long (but then I see pics of 30 yr old Dev on FB . . . by the way, he's become quite the international traveler, and was in Miami recently).

Spring, I know exactly what you mean about the 19 year old. Granddaughter Lan did the same thing. However, at least she chose a guy who isn't all that objectionable. They have two kids now and seem to be working out okay. At least he's crazy about the kidlings and is a hard worker. It's hard to see them struggle, though. Me, I wish my health permitted me to be more active, but I tire so very easily now. Breathing is an issue, the deteriorating back is another. Bob and I joined a gym together. I can manage 20-30 minutes of exercise about 3 times a week. It does help, but I still need to sleep when we get home. Can someone tell me again why we don't have a Facebook page?

She calls and I am always good to her when she calls, but she knows not to even mention him, because I don't want to hear it. Good luck with the gym stuff. I hope your health improves. FACEBOOK PAGE: Someone would have to make an S3 facebook page for us to have one.

Hi S'cubies!
It's been a while, huh? Just thought I would pop in and say hello.

I don't know how many COW members still drop by here, but those of us who are still active could probably form a quorum. Is anybody else interested in forming an FB page?

Might be a better question to ask over on FB, where there are more S'cubies. It would be good to know what level of interest there would be, but also someone would have to be willing to set it up and monitor it. I know that Sue, Becca, and Ann have reservations about joining FB - don't know if an S3 page would tempt them or not.
