Oh gosh, SS. I made the most AMAZING thing last night.

I made homemade sweet and sour sauce with pineapple and mandrin oranges, used it to top chicken breasts and wrapped the whole mess up in fillo dough. IT WAS SO TOE-CURLIN' GOOD!

Def. a make again supper.

And you're gonna love this, Friday I was testing an elbow noodle for doneness when boiling hot water shot out of the middle of it and burned the h-e-double-hockey-sticks out of my lip.

I swear on everything holy it's not a cold sore.

I also swear I'm a menace in the kitchen.

The outer rings just graze us.

Have you been absorbing radiation with your groinage again?

Now this is cool:

I wonder what kind of spiders they are. I couldn't see where it named them.

I was bitten by the Brown Recluse when I was in my thirties, and it was the nastiest thing what that spider did to the back of my thigh. It ended up being this big, gaping hole with rotting skin all around it. When the spider first bit me my leg go so hot, I swear for about three days I though my leg was on fire...then the rotting starting. Gross, hey? It took months and months to heal. The doctor said there was nothing to do, just let it heal. Now I know I could have died.

That was hilarious, 2long. I'm going to send it over to customs and see how their sense of humor's are holding up today. LOL

Ouch Weaver. I suffered my first wasp sting this summer - near my armpit. Your spider bite sounds just horrid. You are definitely allowed to be an arachnophobic! How's married life treating you?

Hey TT! How was England? Are you back home now?

Last time I got bit by a bee, I actually cried. They hurt, eh?

Married life? Well it's been almost two weeks, he spent quite a few days here last week working on my house to get ready for sale and we both pretty much just walked around in a daze, saying "wow, were married" and things like that. He says about my cooking..."my gawd, you are such a good cook, I just may have to marry you someday" LOL

We were advised by his atty yesterday to do up a post nup (should have done a pre nup, but the atty must have been sleeping when GB told him he was getting married cuz at that time he said "no big deal, don't worry about it"

This is in regards to the failure and subsequent closing of his business in Green Bay. Although it was a corp, he had given personal guarantees and that opens up all personal assets.

I really don't have anything that doesn't have a gigantic mortgage attached to it, so I really don't care...except about my credit.

P is the benefactor of my life insurance, and I have the antiques and such handed down from my family in storage for her...so she is protected in case of my death. Although in MI, he will still get half of the life insurance regardless, by law. 401K is also protected by law. So that is all good.

I stare at my ring about 50 times a day though. It is still so hard to believe.

Oh, and I took his last name. That was very important to him. You know, it must be the old "me man, you woman" thing, but I did it. My non-independent behaviour, I'm very proud of myself for that! Because I said I would never give up my last name, and he said no hyphenated name either.

He's a little bossy, but I just laugh. It's all good.

Weaver, why not set up a revockable trust? Then your 401K and life insurance can have the trust as the beneficiary? Those are protected here in CA as well and the spouse's signature must be notarized. I took my H's last name for the same reason.

Can you put mortgaged houses in them as well, Faith? Would the houses be protected from the business's creditors? Do you know?

If not, I'll get him to call his atty and ask him. I swear he may have not retained the brightest atty in the pack.

I get the jitters over anything financial. I worry terribly about money. Wish I didn't although I believe one person in most relationships takes on this 'burden' more than the other. Weaver, you're a gem. Take care. TT

I never worry about money, I can't stand to even think about it.

For this reason, GB will handle our money (once we are liging together). He watches it like a hawk. He always says "don't mess with my family or my money" cuz that's where the end of his fuze is.

You didn't answer TT, but how was your trip home this summer? Did you have a good time with your folks?

Hi all.


that is sooo CUTE!!!! lol, sorry but i just had to say that.

Weaver, yes you can put your mortgaged property (ours is)in a trust. We have life insurance, 401K, property etc all in our trust. The trust says what happens to the property and then we each have a will. The will is mainly what happens if the surivior of the trust dies and what happens to our minor children.

Just put the minor children in the trust too. Maybe leave them there a while, and see if you miss them.

If you do, you can always get them out later.

Too funny, SS!

Thank you, Faithers!

I saw a very nice orb weaver when I was camping weekend before last. The front half of her body shone like a dime.

She looked a lot like this.

Ya bunch of crazy spider lovers.

Thank God, I didn't have a boy (or a Kimmy), that's all I can say.

Camping is one of my favorite things. Do we get details about the trip?
