10/9/ Talbot Oldtimer Report

Talbot is doing well, he's happy and chatty. He took an interest in the toaster today for the first time in quite a while. These days he's very determined to check out all the cabinets and demands to have them opened for his inspection. He loves to be on DH's lap after work and at night. He complains in that meezer voice when DD holds him but he loves it!

Oldest DD took the LSAT today so the next three weeks of waiting for the results could be interesting.

I'm very sad for Linda and Bear Man. A passing of another legend.

I don't post as much as I used to. I'm still adjusting to the loss of my Dad this last January and the ongoing care of my mother in CA. I just haven't gotten back to posting but I do check in to see how the kitties are doing.

I'd like to update my SS so I could post more often but I'm having a lot of trouble with it. I posted in Tech but haven't gotten any responses yet. Maybe starting a new page would help? Can't get the black grid lines to be black (they're grey now) and I've tried to drag the lines from above. But, now the info I enter won't center in the boxes so it cuts it off. I've tried clicking on the align button to center things but it won't. Maybe it's from dragging the lines down from above. Ekkkkk!

 

Great to hear Talbot is doing well. Sorry to hear about your folks, must really be difficult being so far away from your mom. I can't help with the ss problems, but I can commiserate with you. Hope you get it figured out.

 

So nice to hear from another "oldtimer"! And so nice to hear that Talbot is well and still checking on those waffles!! Sorry to hear about your father's passing - this must have been a very difficult year for you... Good luck to your DD on the LSAT. :smile:

 

Hi Melinda,

It's great to know that Talbot is doing well. I've always loved that picture of him watching the toaster!!!

I don't post very often, either, so it was a great surprise to see your post today. Must be Linda and Bear Man who brought all the oldtimers to the Board today.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your father. My mom passed away almost 4 years ago so I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I hope your mom is doing ok.

I'm also having trouble with my SS. Might be there's too much data in it since I have the same sheet I started with in 1/09. If you find out anything, will you please let me know? I'll do the same!

Good luck to your daughter on the LSATs!

I hope our postings overlap in the near future.

 

So good to see you giving us a Talbot update and that he is doing well I have never had a cat watch the toaster that is such a cute thing as long as its not hot I guess and I love that pic thats your avatar of Talbot with the toaster

 

Hi Melinda : I'm so glad that Talbot is doing so well. That's so great to hear. I'm sorry about your parents. I was in your position about 5 years ago. Being a member of the sandwich generation is so hard. You want to help your parents so much but you have your own family to care for let alone taking care of yourself. Then when they pass it's still so hard to take.

As for the spread sheet -mine has be doing the same thing I think. I have no idea how to fix it so I just keep doing what I'm doing.

Hope to see you more often. Tori just got out of the hospital yesterday after yet another CP flare. This one was quite severe- the fPL1 was 13.9. Her node is back down though so it looks like the chemo is working. My little one just keeps on going.

 

It's good to hear that Talbot is well and back to inspecting cabinets and appliances!

If you're not getting SS help in the Tech Center, maybe sending a PM to Cyn? I think she set up the SS.

 

Really nice to see your report today Melinda! Talbot and the toaster is a riot! :lol: That is so cute that he wants to inspect th cabinets too! He is so handsome...and what a character!
Wish your daughter well...so many changes going to happen.
Where in Cali is your Mom? My sympathy to you on the loss of your Father. We lost my Mother Nov 2009 and it is still painful to bear. (((Melinda)))

 

I'm so glad to see you! Love to hear that Talbot is as demanding as ever. They sure do know how to get what they want. :mrgreen:

 

Nice to see you. Sorry you are not able to visit often, but life sometimes gets in the way. Fantastic that Talbot is still Talbot and doing so well. Prayers for your Mom and trying to assist her long distance. That is difficult.

 

Always nice to see you and Talbot checking in. Sorry it has been such a tough year. Talbot sounds like he's very happy.

 

I'm positive that I can fix your ss, but I would need edit access to it (I don't actually know what's wrong with it, but I could figure it out). I think there's a way you could share it with me, or you could change your google password, share that with me, and then change it again after I finish. Let me know if you want me to try.

 

Good to see you Melinda and Talbot! Glad hes doing well. The passing of a parent is very hard, my dads been gone 12 years and it still hurts.
