1. How did she prepare it....regular coffee with an ice cube or two??
  2. I'm sorry for your loss, Paul.

    I'm glad she was well taken care of in her final days, though.

    Sorry for your loss, as JoAnna already stated, I am glad that she was well taken care of.

  5. I'm having an awesome day!

    I sold a vintage BunnOMatic for $300 on Ebay this morning, and then I got a call from Lowes. They offered me the job!

  11. Thanks, everyone!
    I'm still a little nervous. I haven't been an employee for 16 years.

    No, that was the Thigh Master.

    BunnOMatic is a coffeemaker.

  14. I'm glad you did, because when I read about Suzanne Somers and the Bunn'omatic I thought "I remember that"

    Got an email from my son. His orders came through for his Captains Course. He leaves the ROK the last week of September. His course starts the first week of November. He's got a month to get his stuff from Ft. Hood to Ft. Benning. Now if Fat Boy Kim can refrain from doing anything really stupid, that would be great.

  17. Been a busy day. I recently acquired a vintage pocket watch that probably belonged to my maternal grandmother. (My mom had it ,just sitting in the safe-deposit box and doesn't know its history.) As I am the one member of the family who has an interest in vintage watches, she gave it to me & I had it restored.

    So today, I had it appraised and then took it home, photographed it & added it to my insurance policy.

  18. Interesting... are you sure it was grandMA's and not grandPA's? I would think it would have been unusual for a woman to have a pocket watch.
  19. Yes the style & size of the watch show that it was designed for a woman. I suspect that many women's "pocket watches" ended up being worn as pendants.

  20. Oh, cool. I thought that pendant or broach was the go to option. But, I guess it makes sense to just use a pocket watch in that way instead of having a separate category.
