Hi Margaret... a ceramic artist? Where did that come from? How totally cool. I envy people like you with talent to do things like that. You and I are opposite when it comes to the temperature issue.... I hate the cold. There's obviously a reason I live in Charlotte... four seasons, but a short and salubrious winter! And while I don't mind cooking, I also like when I can enjoy someone else's food. Somehow it always tastes better to me.

Nina, It is so interesting to see all the responses. I am definitely in the minority with the temperature. Guess you do not want to hear that I open the window in the winter when showering.

Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 - It appears that you have lived a good life and will continue on your path to greatness because nothing will stop you and you fear nothing. Staying married for 16802 days is an answer I never heard anyone else claim. Leave it to you, Margaret to see life through a different lens. 

When my daughter was in elementary school, she read a book by Judy Blume called "Are you there God? It's Me Margaret." Somehow I think you were someone like that character in the storybook when you were working as an RN. Nurses are very special human beings who see, feel, think, and behave differently than the rest of the human race. From my perspective, you are pretty incredible and you still have a lot more things to do in life and learn about too!

I get unhappy below 75.  Guess that's why we live in our respective parts of the country.  AND my daughter says to be all the time when I complain about my day "but did anybody die?", yup she's a nurse.
