His solution is to always highlight and copy his comment before he hits the Publish button.

When you got a whiff of lavender, Mom Mom was sure to be nearby.<BR/><BR/>She always left a bottle at my house for when she stayed over and when she died there was an almost full bottle here.<BR/><BR/>That was in 1984 and I still have that bottle, and every once in a while, just for old times sake, I press the button and spray a mist of lavender around the house and it's like Mom Mom is here with us again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-43238881941298313382007-11-12T19:49:00.000-05:002007-11-12T19:49:00.000-05:00I'm so with you on this post!

Not because of the Brain Williams blurb or the bit about Thanksgiving (which is truly an underappreciated holiday, whose purpose nowadays is mainly to kick off the Christmas season and that doesn't even matter since Halloween took on that responsibility), but because you used the word salmagundi.<BR/><BR/>I use that word a lot around the house (mostly because it's tremendous fun to say aloud), but no one around here shares that love of crazy words.

I love the fact that it's a holiday of food. Yum yum yum! I've never had cornbread stuffing and I'm a little curious as to how it tastes.

That's just downiright nasty of the NBC producers to not share that information. They must think the people of Cleveland are crazy and like to shoot shit up. Oh wait, the are and they do. Sorry Nance, its probably for the best.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we need a bossy president.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Ohhh...Thanksgiving!! I do like to decorate my house in fall colors and little pumpkins but the food is most definately the high point. I do not care for turkey, I prefer to make a ham. But my favorite part by far is all the yummy side dishes. I like to make an apple walnut french bread stuffing. Soooo tasty!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060839171999701331noreply@blogger.com
