Feb. 27 - Do you think a tablet or iPad equals the paper pages of a book, when sharing a picture book with a child? Just curious what you think...
Pour répondre aux questions concernant ce magnifique cheval :

www.cevennes.net/parc.national.des.cevennes/przewalski/pr...
J'ai tenté un recadrage serré, très serré, trop serré pour conserver une bonne qualité mais l'expression de domination de ce cheval cabré me semblait le mériter ... l'image est effectivement de petite taille ...
Sorry for the lower quality and small size : it's a crop !!!
We now take you to the temporary headquarters of the Texas Kritter Krewe for a press conference...
Timmy: Good morning. As the self-appointed chief of the Texas Kritter Krewe, I will be making a brief statement regarding our evacuation of Hugetown. Afterward, I will field questions as long as I feel like it.
As all of you know by now that the Gulf Coast area was struck by Hurricane Ike last Friday. I just want to make sure that all of our friends and relatives know that I am OK. My part of Hugetown was in the eye wall for several hours of intense wind and rain without the break that would have come if the eye had passed directly overhead. As a result, I was left without lectrical power, running water and unreliable connections for communications devices. After several days of making the best of a bad situation and inspired by the words of the great philosopher Thomas Earl Petty, who said "Now baby you don't have to live like a refugee", I decided that the best alternative was to evacuate until conditions improve.
I made the decision to head where important people hide out in times of trouble and danger, a ranch in Crawford, Texas. I arrived at the front gate and pressed the buzzer to ask if I could hang out there until the storm damage is all cleaned up -- the voice on the other end said that only Dubya could OK that and he couldn't be interrupted while watching cartoons. I asked to speak to that other dude, the one who should be playing The Penguin in the next Batman movie -- they said he couldn't OK that but he would love to take me hunting sometime...
Since that was a bust, I decided to head further north into Indian Territory, since I am on pretty good terms with the Osage. Once I crossed the Red River, I was happy to find that the Native Americans had built a turnpike to provide us safe passage through their nations. Upon arriving at the Fairy Godmother's house, I have been able to relax and enjoy the kritter comforts to which I am normally accustomed.
I'll now consider answering some of your questions...
Snort the Bull, Beanie Times: You only make references to yourself. Were you alone in this escape from the hurricane-ravaged conditions of your neighborhood?
Timmy: Nah, Mommy, Daddy and all those other stuffed dudes were with me and are doing just fine but I'm the only one I really care about, so let's stick to the most important subject here: ME!
Fluffy Muffins, Stuffed Cat FanMag: How did your food supply hold out during the days after the storm?
Timmy: Good question. At first, there were plenty of snacks, even enough to share with friends. When everything in the fridge and freezer started to go south, Mommy and Daddy wouldn't stop whining... and with no stores open, there was just no shutting them up -- it was all like "We want to eat more than two meals a day. We want a balanced diet."
Fluffy Muffins, Stuffed Cat FanMag: A follow-up question, if I may... You mentioned sharing snacks with other victims of Hurricane Ike. What about the rumors that you distributed cookies contaminated with monkey-butt?
Timmy: I will not, at this time or in the future, discuss the current or past activities of my butt or its proximity to hurricane relief supplies. Those supplies were distributed in good faith and were appreciated by those who received and consumed them. Would you ask John McCain that question?!
Scruffy, Knitters Gone Wild: What about the relief supplies to be distributed through official channels?
Timmy: I never saw any of those. As a matter of fact, our congressman was on TV asking for food and water for the Texas DPS officers and National Guard. FEMA was supposed to give them some, plus extras for the hurricane victims. I know that the E and M stand for "Emergency Management" but Mommy will get really mad if I say what Daddy told me the F and A stand for...
Rover Reporter, Plushie Canine Insider: But what about the MRE's being distributed to the victims?
Timmy: Dude, once I heard that they would be handing out "Monkeys, Ready to Eat" -- I didn't stick around to become somebody's snack pack!
G.I. Joe, Action Figure News: Um, don't you think some of your remarks might be slightly offensive to Native Americans?
Timmy: My experience has been that most Native Americans have a pretty good sense of humor. The Osage were uprooted and relocated twice -- only to find that the land they were given was sitting on top of a whole bunch of oil! Now they can just laugh and laugh...
Scooter, Webkins Web Blog: What about the stories of gas shortages in Hugetown?
Timmy: Sure, all of the stations were closed because they were either out of gas or didn't have power but as long as we have Daddy, there will never be a gas shortage wherever we are.
Sox the Monkey, World Handycraft Review: Will you be returning to Hugetown anytime soon?
Timmy: I suppose I'll have to at some point... but have you seen the Fairy Godmother's pantry? I'm moving the TV in there and never coming out!!!
OK, I'm bored and over this, so that ends our press conference -- Later, Dudes!
just for fun. a painting i did for work. it was just supposed to be something silly for the facebook page. the idea was to portray the characters from a movie in the style of some artist. so this is painted over a famous photograph and (though it's mostly only texture remains) it has a similar composition. i actually used another painting for the project, but i thought i'd just let this one see daylight. can you guess the original photographer? can you guess the movie?

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

Gus Bodnar - August Bodnar (April 24, 1923 – July 1, 2005) was a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who was the Calder Memorial Trophy winner as the National Hockey League's rookie of the year for the 1943–44 season. He played 12 seasons in the NHL from 1943 to 1955, for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Black Hawks and Boston Bruins.
Playing career - A native of Fort William, Ontario, Bodnar started his career with the local Fort William Rangers of the Thunder Bay Junior A Hockey League. He played for the Rangers for three seasons from 1941 to 1943 and competed for the Memorial Cup twice in 1941–42 and 1942–43.
After leading the TBJHL in points in 1942–43, Bodnar joined the Toronto Maple Leafs. On October 30, 1943, Bodnar scored his first ever NHL goal 15 seconds into his first NHL game, setting the record for the fastest goal by a player in his first NHL game. Bodnar scored 62 points during the regular season, a career-best, and he beat Montreal Canadiens rookie goaltender Bill Durnan in voting for the Calder Memorial Trophy in 1943–44. He spent four more seasons with the Maple Leafs and won two Stanley Cups in 1944–45 and 1946–47. Bodnar had 40 assists in his rookie season in 1943–44, which would set a record for assists by a Maple Leafs rookie until surpassed by Mitch Marner in 2016–17.
In 1947–48, Bodnar and fellow linemates Gaye Stewart, Ernie Dickens, Bud Poile and Bob Goldham were traded to the Chicago Black Hawks in exchange for Max Bentley and Cy Thomas. Bodnar remained in Chicago for seven seasons from 1947 to 1954. He also played in the NHL All-Star Game in 1950–51. On March 23, 1952, Bodnar set another NHL record by recording three assists in 21 seconds. With that record, he also helped teammate Bill Mosienko set the record for fastest hat-trick in NHL history. In 1953–54, Bodnar was traded to the Boston Bruins midway through the season. He would remain with the Bruins for one more season in 1954–55, before retiring.
Coaching career - Bodnar retired from playing hockey in 1955 but later came back to coach. Bodnar coached in the Boston farm system with the Lakeshore Bruins in the Metro Jr.B league, they won the League Championship in 57/58 and went to the OHA Jr.B Championship round. He was the coach and manager of the Toronto Marlboros from 1967 to 1968. He coached the Marlboros to a Memorial Cup championship in 1966–67. In 1970, Bodnar was named head coach of the Salt Lake Golden Eagles in the WHL. He remained there for one season before signing on as head coach of the Oshawa Generals in the OHA from 1971 to 1976. He was the recipient of the OHA Coach of the Year Award in 1971–72.
Bodnar was elected to the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 1983, and the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. On July 1, 2005, Bodnar died at the Lakeridge Health Unit in Oshawa, Ontario.

My question is for those who use papilio waterslide decal paper for ink jets.
I have been having quality issues with my printings lately, basically some of the paper is pixelated or looks smudged. I have replaced my ink cartridges, tried a newer printer and ordered new decal paper from papilio hoping this would help.
Has anyone else had an issue lately?

A heartfelt, emotionally rich and brave story of the interplay between society and individual that leaves no question that a person’s identity is not so much innate as fired in the kiln of society’s judgement and hatred. So much feeling and emotion streamed off the pages of this story that I was moved to tears from the outset. Some spoilers ahead in order to analyze this book in terms of the transgender movement and how the silencing of this author’s story coopts lesbian history in order to serve the transgender cyborg movement of medical intervention.
Published in 1993 this autobiographical novel takes place in Buffalo, New York some 30 years earlier in the young life of Jess who comes of age as a butch lesbian after a rough childhood fending off the question “Are you a boy or a girl?” Her preference for wearing boys’ clothes and soon after her attraction to girls defines an identity I can surely relate to. Once she finds her way to a gay bar she is schooled by elder butch lesbians with their own code of honor informing them of how to conduct themselves and we are deep in the era of the Butch Femme lesbian world of the ’50s and early ‘60s.
And it is a rough one for cross dressers of both sexes who are routinely arrested and humiliated to such an extent that the most sensitive of these butch women are broken, becoming emotionally disconnected from their feelings and unable to receive sexual pleasuring for fear of reopening these wounds. Thus the term stone butch. We are introduced too to the femme women some of whom are masters at bringing out the gentler feelings of their butch counterpart and melting their ‘stone’. And some of whom are “pros” the prostitutes plying their trade on the streets.
The characters of this story are soon engulfed by the events at Stonewall and the ensuing gay liberation movement and the lesbian feminists who push aside the Butch Femme culture as antiquated and patriarchal. Thus the on-the-ground lived reality of working class lesbians are victimized by the esoteric ideas of educated women who manage their self perception and self value with feminist theories that keep them above the fray in a middle class academic setting.
Caught between the brutality dished out by police and the abandonment of the gay movement the butches are left adrift and Jess is tempted to follow some of her butch peers down the path of medical transition. It is because of this choice that the author Leslie Feinberg self identifies as a leader of the transgender movement and is repeatedly claimed by trans history. But the full details of her story are not told in that history. Likely because her heroine makes it clear that she is not seeking transition because she feels she is a man trapped in a woman’s body per trans ideology. No she is something in between.
“Passing” in an unjust and judgmental society has long been the lure for those who are caught between belonging and not belonging. But it is a hard position to hold that will test your loyalties and sense of self. Jess does not find relief in her new identity. She becomes a man without a past. She moves to New York and subsequently detransitions in order to reconnect with who she really is and regain her past.
In the trans activist's narrative today the silencing of the stories of detransitioners is insisted upon or seen as so infrequent as to be inconsequential because otherwise the question becomes why seek medical intervention at all when it is clearly society that needs to be adjusted to accept those who express themselves in gender non-conforming ways?
And if you look at Native American tribes those societies that recognize the third sex/ two spirit category tend to be highly patriarchal while those less patriarchal have much broader definitions of gender expressions so have no need of such a relief valve. Cross dressers have been around since pagan times as described in Feinberg's book Transgender Warriors. While medical intervention has only been around since 1952. In this historical context it is a performance enhancer not a cure for the diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
It has been said that the butch lesbian persona is a strategy for managing what we know as gender dysphoria today. Leslie Feinberg clearly wanted to help transgender people by telling her story. She dedicated the 20th edition in 2014 to CeCe McDonald a Black transwoman who was incarcerated after a bar raid. But in 1993 when the first edition came out butch lesbians were making a comeback in the lesbian community. I didn't read it at the time, but reading it now it is even more poignant and current.
The same conversations between butches taking the trans path and their female remaining lovers are going on now with just as much emotional upset albeit suppressed so as to be "supportive". And butch lesbians who don't want to transition are being pressured to by those who have and in increasingly insulting language. Not to mention the plight of teen girls seeing transition as the way to go. This is surely not the outcome Leslie Feinberg wanted, but she is dead and her family have pledged a vow of silence on her work and intentions. Stone Butch Blues however carries all that I needed to affirm that butch lesbians are a true phenomena of lesbian expression.
I read the PDF book for free downloaded from www.lesliefeinberg.net/
Thus this is not my usual photo of a hard copy book. It is borrowed from the cover of the 2003 edition. It is a photograph of the author.

Concerning the question of how the soul can attain freedom and create healthy social forms, Schiller, with his thinking, grasped the idea of a way forward. Goethe transformed it through phantasy into the feeling life of pictorial imagination. Rudolf Steiner completed this trilogy by transforming the Fairy Tale into a Mystery Drama, performed on the stage; he brought it into the will. In his autobiography, Steiner said the following: “The Goethe Fairy Tale images hark back to Imaginations which had often been set forth before the time of Goethe by seekers for the spiritual experience of the soul… not the interpretation, but the stimulus to the experience of the soul was the important result that came to me from my work upon the Fairy Tale. This stimulus later influenced the future life of my soul in the shaping of the mystery dramas I afterwards wrote”.

Plastic and maybe 2½ inches tall. Many decades ago I 'm pretty sure he was a Frosted Flakes Cereal Box Prize. I have questions about how he worked, but I'm going to be busy a bit tonight; so won't write them up yet.
OK part of what I remember, and this might well go back over 63 years., is this cereal box prize was to be placed in large container, probably like the 2 liter soda pop bottles today, although I don't recall that size back then. Anyway, it seems like some baking soda was put in the tiger or in the water and it made him float up or sink down. How about it? Anyone remember more precisely?

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
ALL THE BEST on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

"When driving to Canada, know the last name of the person you are visiting." One of Dad's friends was selling a car in Canada. They were both driving with the intention of leaving the car that was being sold behind in Canada. When the border patrol asked Dad what he was doing in Canada, he didn't know the answers to the questions, and so he told the border patrol to ask the guy in the car behind him. Needless to say, they didn't make it through the border that day.
"Don't leave your keys in a running vehicle in the middle of Washington D.C." Dad double-parked, went into the building for a few minutes, and his car got stolen during that time. It was a pretty easy target. Thanks to the DC Police, they were able to locate the vehicle. Dad told Carolyn about how the guys had moved in. "They took my umbrella out, and put their umbrella in." They also left some drugs in the ashtray. The DCPD doesn't need to search vehicles when they are returning them from being stolen.
"Always check your oil before long trips." Carolyn doesn't think there's a specific story about this one, but dad would remind us the importance of checking the oil constantly.
The existence of the White Flamingo Hotel." Dad would travel a lot for bridge tournaments, and he would always make sure to not spend any more money than necessary. So sometimes he would find a parking lot, park his white suburban there and sleep overnight. One time, his bridge friends asked him which hotel he stayed at, and he didn't want to embarrass himself by admitting he slept in his car, so he said, "I stayed at the White Flamingo!"
There's another story about the White Flamingo that Dad told Carolyn. He found a parking lot, parked the suburban, and then went to sleep. Then he was rudely awakened by someone tapping on the window. It turned out to be a cop who had to question him because the parking lot he found turned out to be a school. This might have been the time they searched his vehicle, and took everything out and tore it apart. When they didn't find any drugs, they didn't even put everything back for him.
"How to calculate gas mileage." No brainer.
"Watch out when he subtly cracks a window in the car." Those farts were silent, but deadly.
"It's fun to drive through the sitting flock of seagulls in the Taco Bell parking lot."
"Alternate routes to I-95 during rush hour." Lorton was a particularly useful route.
"Traffic cones are helpful when parking is scarce."
"How to track down a driver who hit one of your vehicles." During Thanksgiving Break, Carolyn got rear-ended in the blue Suburban. The Suburban appeared to have no damage, but the girl's car wasn't so lucky. Her whole front bumper was laying on the ground. She had initially asked Carolyn for a ride, and she indicated the direction she lived in. Then she said she would be able to make it, and went on her way. Turns out, the suburban did have damage to the shocks, and Dad was annoyed that Carolyn didn't get the girl's information. So we went driving around until we found a smashed up car. We had found it right away, but Carolyn's memory had lied to her. It was a sky blue car, but Carolyn was sure that it was a dark car. We ended up going back to where the accident and we found a piece of the bumper. That was most definitely sky blue.
"What todo if a Suburban breaks down on Tanyard Hill." Tanyard Hill is a very narrow, very twisty, very windy road that connects the town to Old Bridge Road. Carolyn was low on gas, and she was planning on getting some the next time she went out. However, Dad had other ideas. He was working on the cars and moved the Surbuban and left the engine running. When Carolyn came back, she was like "Oh no, it's low on gas!" So she quickly attempted to drive it to the gas station, but alas, it was not to be. The Suburban puttered out halfway down Tanyard Hill Road. She walked back and collected her dad and her sister to help her get some gas. It was quite the adventure!
"D-R-O-F is Ford spelled backwards." Dad would always quiz us when he was driving us around. He tried to make the questions harder as we got smarter.
"When you're driving, and you need to adjust the steering wheel to stay in the lane, make a small adjustment. Dad let Carolyn sit on his lap to steer the car once.
"If you ever get lost in D.C., just read the signs."
"The Japanese use balsa steel." This came up when Vicky bought her first car, and Isuzu Rodeo. Dad said their steel is supposedly of lower quality.
"Lipton Onion soup mix is a great addition to hamburgers." Dad's hamburgers were sooooo delicious! If you don't have real onions, the lipton onion is a nice tip.
"You can grill, no matter the weather, even when it is snowing."
"Fast food restaurants have a 'peek hole' and know if a single car is placing multiple orders."
"Friendly's should be named Slowly's." We used to go to Friendly's a lot, but one time we went there, and we were waiting so long and nobody even gave us a menu or acknowledged our presence in the slightest. Eventually, we got fed up and decided to leave. As we were walking at, Dad loudly exclaimed, "This place should be called SLOWLY'S!". Sooooo embarrassing.
"Falling asleep with a bag of Hershey Kisses bears messy results." Carolyn's Dad thought her mom pooped the bed, but it turned out to be the melted Hershey Kisses that he was eating when he fell asleep.
"Making gravy is a fine art." You need the gizzards for it.
"Filet mignon is delicious"
"The Jewish Mother out of Virginia Beach makes delicious Peanut Butter pie."
"The phrases 'pass gas', 'the good Lord', '___', 'kibitz', 'flim-flam', 'chit-chat'." Carolyn always thinks of her dad when we are watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and the Flim-Flam brothers show up.
"Priceline.Com, melatonin"
"Be kind to strangers. Sometimes it is okay to pick up hitchhikers."
"Buzzards perch on the same townhouse at the same time every morning."
"When a cat skins half of its tail in a doorway, a vet visit is not necessary." Dad was grilling, and our cat, Rabei, was waiting by the door for his chance to exit when the door opened. Dad opened the door to enter with a plate full of hamburgers, and he closed the door behind him with his foot. Carolyn happened to see the whole thing, and she saw Rabei was halfway out the door when her dad closed it. She scolded Dad for not being more careful, and she said, "Look, he's still stuck in the door!" We opened the door, but there was no cat there. Just the tail. When Rabei showed up again, he had a little rat tail for awhile until it eventually fell off.
"Don't feed two dogs too close together." "A broomstick is an effective means of breaking up a dog fight." These two go together. One day, when Carolyn's sister, Vicky, was feeding Midnite and Licorice, she didn't put the piles far enough apart. They got into a huge fight, and Dad broke them up with a broom.
"It's hard to bury a dog in the middle of winter."
"Salt Lake City officials do not care for horse-drawn carriages pulling right up to the entrance of the convention center." Vicky would travel to bridge tournaments with Dad. There is probably a story behind this one.
"Never underlead an Ace." Carolyn's father played a lot of bridge. A LOT of bridge.
"Putting pennies on railroad tracks yields pretty trinkets." It was a lot of fun how they got all stretched out.
"How to putt." Carolyn's dad played a lot of golf, too. We spent a lot of time at the driving range and playing miniature golf. One time, we were playing mini-golf, and Dad's ball hit the wall of the windmill. Dad exclaimed, "DUMB-DUMB SAWYER!" and flung his putter in frustration. And he ended up bending the putter.
"Men in their fifties can attend raves." And Goth Clubs.
"Women go to strip clubs in packs--they never go alone like the men."
"Natural gas does not have an odor." Dad worked at the gas light company.
"The value of working in the office after hours." You bring your kids with you and let them run free in the cubicles. Such fun we had calling each other on the phones and pretending to be important business-people. And writing on the whiteboards, and stapling papers. It was awesome getting to go to work with Dad. And it was always on the weekends and nobody else was there.
"Don't pretend to be a priest and that a wintergreen lifesaver is the holy Eucharist."
"How to flim-flam a movie theatre and get a senior discount." When you're prematurely gray, that's pretty easy. Then there was the time when my dad went to go see a movie, but the movie was canceled, so the movie theatre was giving coupons for the inconvenience. So Dad went home, put on a disguise so he wouldn't be recognized as already getting a coupon, and gathered us all up so that he could get even more coupons.
"Take advantage of rebates." We got so much useless junk from Comp-USA that one time just because of the promise of a rebate.
"How to split logs." Dad had been cutting logs since he was a little boy.
"Installing sink and light fixtures backwards is endearing." The cold and hot were reversed on our kitchen sink.
"Trees are important."
"Don't walk on your knees. The Good Lord might think you don't want your calves and take them away in a car accident."
"You should pop pimples when they are green." When Vicky was in high school, she read a magazine that warned her that picking at zits could cause scarring on your face, so she didn't pick at them. One day, she got into the car with a huge massive pimple on her chin, and Dad scolded her, "You're supposed to pop them when they look like that!"
"You can catch HIV from oral sex."
"Crutches and plastic bags on the ground do not mix." Dad broke his knee and had a tough time getting used to the crutches.
"Don't play with mercury." This was when we were really little, Dad brought all these metal things home from work, and they would leak mercury. That stuff was so much fun and looked like it'd be an awesome toy, but alas, we were not allowed near it since it's poisonous and all.
"Men can get manicures." Dad was already an expert at getting manicures when Carolyn got married. Dad took Caroly and Vicky to the beauty parlor and proudly said, "Three manicures, please." And we saw the lady counting in her head as she looked at Carolyn, looked at Vicky, and then looked at Dad and got all confused about the third manicure.
Something about the zoom feature of a photocopier.
"If a hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half, six hens will lay twenty-eight eggs in seven days." This was another one of those car-quizzes.
"Air-conditioned dorms is an important feature in college selection." Dad went to college in Texas.
"Garbage men don't need to know Latin."
"If you think of someone, call them up to chit-chat, even if it is three in the morning." That is when you have the best conversations.
"Don't renige on your commitments." If you told Dad you'd play bridge with him, you're committed. It's hard to scrounge up a good partner at the last minute.
"Love your in-laws as if they were your own parents." Dad visited Grandma Lib in the nursing home a lot after she broke her back.
"Comedies are the best kind of movies. Especially when the one you are with laughs loudly." Dad was a huge fan of comedy movies.
"One will adjust to seeing sick, hurting, and dying loved ones." Carolyn's Dad took them to visit Grandpa in the hospital when we were younger. It was the first time Carolyn ever visited anyone in the hospital and she didn't really know what was going on until they got to Grandpa's room and there was Grandpa.

Lowell Sawyer was Carolyn's father, who died in August of 2012. He will be missed.
BACKSTORY: For Father's Day in 2003, Vicky compiled a bunch of memories about what we learned from Dad. Carolyn decided to take a picture of it hanging in the townhouse.
