I'd like to apologize for starting a thread I had NO CLUE would morph into that.
Got home half an hour ago from putting up "Going Out of Business" signs. So. Very. Tired.
My hope for today.........

That's how I remember my summers hanging out at Badger Lake in high school.My hope for today.........

This is the view from our front door.
I didn't realize we were neighbors!!!
It is CF...there is nothing to apologize for. I just kind of want to say that maybe just maybe there is somewhere for pretty much everyone to live and we will adapt. The chances of some epic meltdown of urban infrastructure that some foretell is highly unlikely IMO.
You should probably wear a longer kimono next time you come out on the porch.
I knew a foreman for a construction company whose last name was Cox. Went by a nickname of Red.Funniest name I ever saw in a newspaper was one of those on the Business Page, where somebody got promoted - the gentleman's name was Richard Head. I kept the clip for many years, because most wouldn't believe me. Unfortunately, it got lost somewhere along the way.
For baby #2, hubby was supposed to make a list of boy names he liked. He gave me:
Seven
Cache Ying-Yang
Mulva
Joseph Booglia
Bubble Boy
All very helpful . . .
When trying to pick our boys names I looked at family names and pretty much came up empty. My dad is Ronald, and that might be the best boy name in the family, and it's still not one I would pick.
My grandpa is Eldred, and my uncles are Eldred Jr (who goes by Junior) and Leon (who goes by Sunny). My dad always went by his initials RV as a kid.
My middle name is random but I liked it enough to give my eldest son my middle name.
My wifes grandpa's name was Ordwin, but his initials were OH. We decided to give the baby the same initials, but even grandpa said not to name him Ordwin. He went by Buzz anyway.
Buzz was pretty proud of his "Little OH" an he passed before the Little OH turned 6 months. He was his pride and joy for quite a while. His first Great Grandkid. He fed him his first baby food and his first sweets.
I'm sorry for your friends' losses. As for the rest of it...I got nothin'. That ship is coming into port more frequently for me now....for friends, not just their parents.Been a bummer of a week.
I remember the first time George decided he liked "Art" for a nickname - they were waiting to meet a girl Jerry liked, and Jerry says to George, "What's your name?"
George replies....."Art"............."Core". Hardcore. Pure Costanza all the way.
Later he changed it to Art Vandelay, and of course he was an architect.
