Thank you. Thank you very much.

With a silly nod to Elvis, and another to blogger Pat Detmer who stole my "What I'm Thankful For" headline, here's the short list of what I'm grateful for today.
For your favorite Sudoku fan

Here's a terrific gift idea for that Sudoku nut in your life. You know, the one who keeps ignoring you until he finishes the latest puzzle?
Thanksgiving flashback
Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008
When it comes to preparing “the” meal of the year, I’m haunted by self-doubt, due to the Great Debacle of 1991.
Great resource for caregivers, or anyone who cares
Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2008
The Federal Trade Commission has just launched a new Web site offering reliable sources of information on health topics important to you, as a consumer, caregiver or friend.
Remembering our vets, and those who loved them
Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2008
This Veteran's Day, as I take in all the images of family members visiting the graves of their loved ones, I think there but for the grace of God go I.
RIP, Ugly Dog
Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2008
Gus, the one-eyed, three-legged dog that won the title of world's ugliest pooch for 2008, has died in Florida.
But, I want one for myself!

These cute hairdryers were touted as one of "10 Great Holiday Gifts for Teens," but I think my 23-year-old daughter would love one. Come to think of it, so would I!
Dinner with friends: Cheaper than therapy
Saturday, Oct. 11, 2008
I enjoyed dinner with a group of high school (and grade school!) chums last night. It reminded me how important it is to stay connected, especially in hard times.
"I pimped for my 80-year-old father."
Saturday, Oct. 11, 2008
It's not EXACTLY what you think...but close. Bob Morris' book, "Assisted Loving: True Tales of Double Dating with My Dad," chronicles his "year of dating dangerously" with his recently-widowed father. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll lock your parents in their rooms until they're 95.
The cow goes "Meh-meh"??
Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2008
If I had grandkids, I'd be all over Bzzzpeek, the Web site that lets children from around the world share their favorite animal (or vehicle) sounds with others.
Cell phone for Grandma
Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2008
When my 91-year-old mother-in-law stopped driving and moved into an assisted living facility, she started to rely on taxis to get around town. It was time to get her a cell phone. But which one?
It's your day, Grandma!
Sunday, Sept. 7, 2008
I have no grandchildren. That I know of. (I know. Bad joke that I may have used before.) But that doesn't mean I can't wish all of you grannies a happy Grandparents Day!
No labor for me, baby. Not today!
Monday, Sept. 1, 2008
After this post, I'm going to don my souvenir t-shirt, pictured above, and abide by its clever slogan. I'm going to have myself a real Labor Day holiday, with NO LABOR....at least, not on the computer.
Facing my Facebook fears
Sunday, Aug. 31, 2008
It’s taken months to come out of the closet but here I am — an out-loud and proud, 52-year-old woman with a Facebook page. (Wow! I feel so unburdened. The truth really WILL set you free.)
A sneak peek into "Guyland"
Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008
My mind would appear to be on the opposite sex today, but I wanted to share two interviews with the author of "Guyland: The perilous world where boys become men." As a mother of a 26-year-old "guy," I found his revelations fascinating... and more than a little frightening.
