I wholeheartedly agree with you Martha.. I have fired two doctors, one was a GP, the other a specialist. Neither of them have any business treating patients, their bedside manners may have been good 25 years ago but they’re non-existent now. I have said many times, that you have to be your own advocate.. if you don’t stick up & look out for…[Read more]

What a great attitude Em! To be very honest, I had to go back and look at your profile picture because I didn’t remember you having a mole!!

If this story doesn’t restore your faith in humanity I don’t know what will! Thank you for sharing
Aunt Deb commented on the post, Aging Parents, on the site WIRL Project 7 years, 6 months ago ·
Very well said Diane. It’s something that we all need to think about: making our wishes known, planning for the worse and hoping for the best, living wills.. all need to be taken into consideration. As Michael Crichton said— ‘No one escapes from life alive.’

Back in the 80’s, when I took my first flight, airline travel was a BIG deal. You dressed for the trip, not to impress anyone but because it was big deal. I even remember what I wore… a beautiful cream colored […]

@auntdeb – I wish flying was more like the way it used to be. It’s so darn expensive to do most of time time…we should dress for the occasion!

Aunt Deb commented on the post, 8 Ways American’s Offend the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, on the site WIRL Project 7 years, 6 months ago ·
Hmmmmmmmm, I read his article.. and was offended by IT. The way Luke McKinney describes Catholics is extremely offensive.. and his history lesson on St Patrick is more than a little skewed. In Ireland St Patrick’s Day isn’t a day spent drinking & carousing, it’s a day spent going to church and celebrating your faith. The drunken pub-crawling…[Read more]

You’ll need a heavy oven proof skillet (cast iron  or enameled cast iron works best) for this and you can either bake it in an oven or in a smoker.. they both produce delicious results.

Totally can relate…since living in AZ I think I have had about 6 (or more) stylists. Found one that was great & she quit doing hair. Finally think I have found a keeper..keeping my fingers crossed that she doesn’t quit!
Sara Brennan replied 7 years, 6 months ago
It’s SO HARD to find new stylists when you move!!! Not necessarily because they don’t do hair well (except for in your case @auntdeb), but mainly because it takes so long for someone to learn your personality and style to give you a haircut that suits you best. Sorry for your luck…I’m sure it’s not as bad as you think – we are our own worst…[Read more]
Aunt Deb commented on the post, Healthy Chocolate Dessert, on the site WIRL Project 7 years, 7 months ago ·
Frozen chocolate covered bananas are always good ~ peel & freeze a banana.. cut it in half or thirds if it’s a large banana. When it’s frozen solid melt some good chocolate and dip the banana. Let the chocolate set and enjoy. You can make up several at a time and store them in Ziplock bags in the freezer for quick treats.
