Re: A lesson pony
Tears, just tears. But I am fragile right now.
Beautiful and fitting tribute. I love lesson ponies, they have a special place in my heart. I will ride one whenever I get the chance as they all have something to teach.

I'm glad it worked out. Wish I could jet up there to say hi. If you pass through the Balt/DC area, please let me know. You have a place to stay at my house.

Re: Fitness!
I bike 3-5 times a week for a hour to 2 hours each time, intensity varies. I teach cycling (road biking) 2x a week (that's 2 of those times). Intensity is better in the winter as we are on our own bikes on trainers inside and I get a better workout that way (16-19 miles for the hour depending on the...

Re: Family get togethers, 2 hours late? A whine...
I can't blame my mom's being tardy EVERYWHERE on mental illness or drugs. I was responding to carpevita's sister's behavior with the meal. I know that some are chronically early or late and I don't find that particularly odd, but not letting your family eat the food they brought because it had to b...

that is unbelievably rude and disrespectful. I would go utterly batty if I had spent that much time, money and effort and had everything practically dessicated by the time they arrived. arrggghhh. Big kudos to your husband and DS (who sounds like mine - so sensitive) for saving the day. ....wait......

Sorry, that is downright rude! I would have eaten and let them have cold leftovers when they arrived. No rewarding rude behaviour! ;) Yep, that was what I was thinking. Start at your intended start time. Don't wait for chronic laters to show their faces. I'll set us up for success, and then stick t...

Re: Family get togethers, 2 hours late? A whine...
Well, my other thought is, we have other friends around too that we have done Thanksgiving with. I can include them and we'll do our thing and if dear brother and SIL are late, they can just be late. Pondering the messiness of that.

Well, I just offered to do Thanksgiving. I'm a glutton for punishment. Guess I'll plan to serve the meal 2 hours later than the time I tell them to arrive. And I do plan to keep it simple.

Re: Family get togethers, 2 hours late? A whine...
It worked out. My nephews were technically only 1 1/2 hours late and were appalled. They apologized profusely and made me feel better. My brother and his wife, well they at least are consistent.
Thanks for the kind words and support. I don't know why I expect them to change.

The entire family, all the time. When they come to my house, they are about 2 hours late. I cook, I clean and make a nice meal. And this is the day in between my mom's viewing and her funeral. DS had some friends over for his 14th Bday and they just left but my family was supposed to be here now and...
