Ciao, Bella!

What does it run you to have the genetic testing and such done?

Ciao, Bella!

<t>I know the fabric isn't original, as one edge has been serged. Underneath it though is a piece of muslin, and I think it's original. I took a strong flashlight to it, and did find one screw, put in up top to try to hold it together. It had been covered with wood putty, whi...

Ciao, Bella!

Wooden pegs.

Ciao, Bella!

Spanish doll.

Ciao, Bella!

Here are some pictures of the chair, and doll. I finally got around to taking some today.

Ciao, Bella!

<t>In regards to friend's step-daughter, she's also always trying to pull the breeding for cash bit. Only Tammy's problem is she picks mutts, that may have a trace of pure-bred in them, to breed, thinking she can breed back to the pure-bred race. I've explained to her this is ...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>Grrr! I hate it when people, who are NOT established breeders, want to breed pets for cash. I am not a breeder, nor have I ever been. I am, however, a rescuer of abandoned/abused animals. I was just on the phone with a friend who yet again, is gung-ho about getting a pure-b...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>I too was bullied. Eventually, I spoke up and told my tormentors to go look in the mirror and take it up with themselves. It worked! Now, if I see them when I go home, they act as though we are best friends! I breeze right on past, with my nose in the air... <br...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>I feel badly when someone has come to the end of their rope, so to speak. I am willing to listen, to comfort, and to prod someone to seek professional help. I just hate it when someone thinks any mention of it will drive someone to kill themselves. We're exposed to all sor...

Ciao, Bella!

I collect anything that strikes my fancy, but just one or two items, normally.

I have some salt and pepper shakers I'd be willing to give up, nothing valuable.

Ciao, Bella!

<t>I belong to another forum, for a specific health concern. Recently, a member there posed this question: "Has this illness driven you to consider suicide?" (I'm paraphrasing here.) This thread hit a major nerve! The majority of the posters agreed it should be brought out in ...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>With my neck and back problems, I snap, crackle and pop constantly. It's often difficult to do though. The best way to get my lower back to pop to put on undergarments, or a swimsuit. I've not been able to get the left side of my neck to pop for about three weeks now, it d...

Ciao, Bella!

Miss Piggy - no class

Animal (my favorite Muppet) - class or no class?

Ciao, Bella!

<r>Good suggestion, RedGlitter. I don't want to mess it up, but I'm worried the darn thing will collapse soon, LOL! Here's a photo of vanity bench that is somewhat similar, particularly the legs. The construction is virtually identical, from what I can see. <...

Ciao, Bella!

A vanity chair is the term that escaped me.

The legs are slightly curved, the back ones angled inward slightly. I'll try to get a photo of it.

Ciao, Bella!

<t>DH's aunt gave us a small chair, such as for a makeup table. We knew it was old, but today, we discovered it was older than we thought. Upon close examination, we found it is held together with mortise and tenon joints and wooden pegs. It still has the original cushion, as ...

Ciao, Bella!

Used them overseas, and loved them! We're going to replace our electric water heater with one, one of these days!

Absolute money saver.

Ciao, Bella!

<t>Georgia isn't so bad. Of course, I'm a native Floridian, so there's a bit of a rivalry there, hee hee. I wish you luck in your move, and don't feel bad. Speaking of moving, I've packed up my household six times, and moved across the pond (the Atlantic) six times, once three years running, in '91,...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>How many dogs do you have? Can you crate them inside at night? (I normally don't go in for crating dogs, but if you have a big lot, it would be more feasible.) Were you there, with your dogs, before the neighbors? Can you get your place grandfathered in under an old ordinan...

Ciao, Bella!

Ciao, Bella!

Thanx, both of ya.

Flopstock, I hope I'm interesting to read!:-6

For now, gotta hop in the hooptie.:driving:

Ciao, Bella!

We're off to see the moms, for a week. I don't know that I'll get a chance to check in, so take care, people, and behave!:-6

Ciao, Bella!

It depends on if the father will truly be just as fair as the mom was. (This would go vice versa as well.)

What if the child doesn't want to, or changes his mind? What if either parent remarries? There's a lot more variable, IMO.

Ciao, Bella!

I'll try. I can upload them to my laptop, into my Photobucket account. But, to embed them here, I can't get that step.

How do you do it?

Ciao, Bella!

I never did get around to getting a photo of the plant I was wondering about. It's in full bloom now, and I know it to be a Siberian Iris. Beautiful blooms, and DH and I are very happy indeed.

Thanx to all who tried to help me id this bugger!

Ciao, Bella!

<t>Magenta, I have four bulging discs in my neck, one pinching/pressing a nerve, and suffer daily what you're describing. I'm sorry you're going through this pain. Stretches, deep massage, and hot and cold compresses help. One of the easiest stretches is to place your hands o...

<t>Not in the US, nor Italy or Spain. (I've held driver's licenses in those countries as well.) There are times when I wish people didn't coast in neutral, such as doing it for half a block or so. I tend to do it in the normal braking time. I can downshift very quickly, but do...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>Walking a cat on a leash isn't as bad as it sounds. I know they're not jumping on someone's vehicle, or running across something they shouldn't, say a dish of anti-freeze, which is a horrible way for them to die. Or, that they haven't been shot, or picked up and used as bait for training dog figh...

<r>:wah: :wah: :wah: I agree! I did stay for the dinner and roast after church, but didn't eat much. On the way home, I stopped and picked up steaks, fresh carrots, Italian greenbeans, and Itlalian bread. Came home, and cooked up a storm, to make up to DH for two nights of fas...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>I wish more people would look past the exterior, and view the interior. Would save many folk serious grief. We've a friend like this, in Cali. He's an absolute doll, does have gorgeous blue eyes, and a nice voice. He's also got a hot bod.:-4 Unfortun...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>Thank you, MistyRain! I'm sorry you had hearing loss, as a fellow musician. I sing, so I can tell any difference at once. I thought for a while there I was loosing my pitch, but a friend ran me through the scales, and a song or two, and assured me I still had near-perfect pitch. Since that was th...

<r>I do admit it's a PITA driving my 5 speed in the mountains, but I can just pop her into neutral and cruise downhill, saving on gas. DH stiffens up, and can't steer it in neutral. In fact, he hates it when I do that.<E>:D</E> Plus, he has a hard time switching from the auto...

Ciao, Bella!

<t>Friday and Saturday are normally slow for us. However, this week was different. Friday morning, we had to drive 120 miles, round trip, to get a new mirror for my car, as the old one broke off. (Volvo parts aren't cheap, and the dealerships wanted $200.00 for the mirror. Labor was extra.) So, for ...

Ciao, Bella!

<r>Thanx, Tater. The tinnitus in my left ear is pretty loud this morning, similar to the Emergency Broadcast Warning System tone. <E>:mad:</E> That's the worst part, for me, is the tinnitus. As for the drop attacks, I'm looking into getting a medic alert bracelet, so I won't ...

Ciao, Bella!

<r>Thanx, everyone. I'll do fine, once I get going. My stink about an actual diagnosis is due to DH's SIL being a MAJOR hypochondriac. This chick gets every "new" illness, and it's made a mark on the family. She's been cured of MS, (think Montel Willia...

Ciao, Bella!

IP, that's terrible! Can you get a local news crew out to do a story on it, perhaps?

Ciao, Bella!

<t>I have been officially diagnosed having left-side Meniere's Disease, a disorder which affects my hearing, (my loss is very slight right now, but as a singer, I noticed at once), and balance on my left side. Can't miss that aspect, at all! The balance part is the hardest. I'...

Ciao, Bella!

May the Irish hills caress you.

May her lakes and rivers bless you.

May the luck of the Irish enfold you.

May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Ciao, Bella!

I'm so glad you're alright! I've a friends, a married couple at that, who are allergic to nuts. Thankfully, they're both former EMTs, and know what to do.

Ciao, Bella!

<t>Salt does not contribute to ADHD! Sugar doesn't really, either, but it's closer to a cause than salt. This idea came from my beloved DH, who picks up on one thing that is bad for anyone, and applies it to everyone and everything. Drives me crazy!</t>

Ciao, Bella!

<t>BTW, the Southern accents you hear in movies is generic. If you close your eyes, and listen carefully, they're all very similar, and muddled. Julia Roberts, for being a Georgia girl, dropped her accent to succeed in Hollywood. For Steel Magnolias, she had to have a voice coach. Sad. <...

Ciao, Bella!

Jimbo, why not write a book, or an article, describing your grandmother's love for you? The Chicken Soup for the Soul series pays decent $$ for stories.

This suggestion is for anyone who has a story to tell, BTW.

Ciao, Bella!

<t>I'll freely admit, I can be a hypocrite at times, and not just where religion is concerned. However, I do try to keep it under control. Having said that, I think freedom of religion is sacred. Just as I have a right to be Christian, others have a right to their faith, no ma...
