Get With It

Okay, some of you seem to be missing the point here. I expect to at least outlive the dogs, who are old and middle-aged. On that note, it surprises me that no one spoke for Jack, who is the best of the lot. I don't plan to give away things I need and use in everyday life, either. I'm going to give away the things that clutter my life and that I don't NEED to do my job and function. I need the dogs. However, should I die before the dogs do, Lillie and Eddie will go to their respective soul mates. It also does little practical good to ask for things I only wish I had. To be fair, though, I'm so glad no one has asked for my car so far.

  1. Do you have a small dish in the shape of a white swan? If so it's mine, I wouldn't mind getting it back.

  2. What? No. I did have. I had two, but I gave them away. Plus a big white swan dish. It was a set. I gave them away individually. I always regretted it. I probably gave that dish to you! Now you lost it and want it back. I want my self portrait back.

  3. I'm not sure how to access Claims, so I'm writing here. I would like the Coach bag and your mother's gold post earrings. --Therese

  4. I want, no I NEED the butter churn. Not that I know how it works or anything, but just a glimpse of how things were lived in south central Illinois in days gone by. I'll display it prominently and then, upon my demise, I'll see to it that our Cuban grandson knows what it is and also displays it prominently. Maybe he'll say it's from his grandparents in Cuba. They have butter there don't they?

  5. Assorted food for thought
    1. The book idea has potential.
    I'm in another book - the neighbor woman whose husband dropped dead and then she sent him emails for 2 years and published the emails. One of her emails mentions my pasta salad
    2. I've been thinking about tweeking (not twitter) your tour. It's good but it needs something...for instances - with me - you can't bring me anything but could you get Tommy to give back that cool chair you ripped from our home?
    3. Plus - I mean this is the best light - I find you more amusing in person. Conflict is always a plus .... just try an drop off some of that crap at my house. I'll have the law on you.

    You're more or less in bed with the law, aren't you? Or that's where you're supposed to be at least.

  7. Why are you such a coward, Anonymous, that you have to remain anonymous? I'm just asking. I don't want to know who you are, just why are you such a coward? And you must have a keyboard impediment, or they don't write in complete sentences where you come from. This lady is trying to do a good thing here.

    My name is Bernie Eshoo. I've known Sandy for over 40 years. I wasn't being a coward. On the select profile, I simply didn't bother to sign in. I was having a chuckle with my old friend. I am so very very sorry you were offended. I don't have a keyboard impediment, but I spent several years in speech correction program as a child. Does that work for you?
