Happy Birthday to Sarah! No matter how old our children get, they are still our “little girls” or “little boys”.
I'm not familiar with that word. It looks french...maybe something to do with rising? So is that perhaps like phototropism? Or perhaps redundant?
Chair....:::applauding::
You did a fantastic job!
Thank you!
This thread started my day in the FR way!
I am reading a book called “The 4hour work week”,
in there he writes that to have a productive day to enjoy other things in life we must do things that are not time wasters.
I work from home and love to stop by in the morning to say Hi to all here, but than I found myself spending way to much productive time in the morning on forums, reading emails etc.
I too need to spend productive morning time getting my work done first to have quality time later on to enjoy other pursuits.
See you somewhere on the boards.......

unexpected but welcome (my words) growth in a plant
Oh...I should keep reading. :)
In what context would growth be unexpected?
Hi hon, he’s a WHOLE lot better tonite.
Downstairs right now yelling at his mom for more french fries ;-)
“More french fries!”...........Now, there’s a good sign that Zay is better. Happy to hear that!
Many thanks to both of you for volunteering. The plan/schedule sounds quite workable to me.
Mr. Prairie and I have had a trying day. My In-laws have put off estate planning to practically any degree, here they are in their 80’s without even a will. They thought some papers they’d signed throughout the years were sufficient. They aren’t.
We’ve been to the lawyers office with them and found out $800 will be the fee to fix up even a simple trust for their small (very small actually) estate. And that amount is huge to their monthly fixed income with living expenses rising all the time.
Estate planning is never easy but this has been extra hard today on us. The lawyer might as well have been speaking Russian to my Father in law. M-I-L does understand the reasons to try to avoid probate.
sigh...
VERY happy that grandbaby is better - that's a birthday you all won't forget.
Are you all going to put Chair's final thread over 100? I'll have to check back tomorrow..g'nite.
Thank you very much for all you've done. Seven years is a long time.
IMO, you are a patriot. I have said this to about four people in my life, and I will say it now...even though you're a Squid...
I would consider it an honor to share a foxhole with you. IMO, we would come out of it in one piece.
Take care my FRiend.

Nita, you are always needed, sweetie, we miss you when you aren’t here. Your input always has some good thoughts and some funny ones too.
Yup, I think we’ll make it today.
Chair, thank you for the wonderful years you have put into ATRW. Your openings have been inspirational, erudite and on target. Hopefully, in your “retirement” you will have time to bless us with your continued analysis of all things government.
Jemian, I hope to see you when you return home.
Hi prairie - regarding your in=laws estate planning - if you’ve been to a lawyer you probably already know this, but our financial planner pointed out to us within the past year that there is a new provision to the law that allows you to add beneficiaries to your IRA’s (in our case our sons) that avoids probate and estate taxes for them upon your death.
(doing my part to get this thread to 100 today)
I shall put that in my list of things to do, places to go and people to see.
Thanks ladies
Hope you are doing well sweetie.
I went downstairs and made coffee and went to put Daisy out but soon discovere3d there is/was a skunk out there roaming about.
Pewwwww
We didn’t get rained out...but we lost anyway.
Your turn
