Oh no, not the dreaded Mini-Van! Of course, having it fixed up at Aldege's P&W Emporiam makes it look cooler. When we were little, we had a station wagon and a 4 door car. Dad test drove this wonderful Fiat 124 Spyder and brought it home to see if we fit in it. We didn't because my Dad was tall, his seat was against the back seat, so I had to put my feet on my brother. My Dad, my brother and I wanted that car so badly. Mom said NO.
Love the puzzle!

Thx Sarah,i had a hoot making it,we can't fit all of us in our 08 Dodge Caliber,so we have to use our 58 Dodge for our family excursions,and when we go camping,which none of us mind because we all love the old Dodge.It's great cause at the campsite,people are constantly coming over to look at the car and you end up making new friends.Glad you loved the puzzle.

Very tough puzzle; and while I did guess when I got tired, I am pretty sure I didn't really need to. I find the image very odd, and yet I like the baby.

Hen-pecked? Nooo...make that hen-PICKED. I'm feeling extraordinarily blue today, missing my David. I don't think I hen-pecked him, though on occasion, I probably did that dreaded nagging thing. Sigh...didn't mean to, and tried hard not to be that way. I suppose many people start to pick apart every little thing that ever happened...after it's too late to ever fix it. Without David, a lot of my sense of fun is gone. I hope it comes back. I find myself coming here a lot. You all are a great comfort to me! Thank you for helping me through this hard year of "firsts."

Lol...I feel pretty safe in expressing these random thoughts because this community works for me this way especially well...better than any grief group...y'all are a happy heart group instead!

We're here for you, JoDeen, as much as we can be. ((hug))
#19: Jota (Jota) on Jan 9, 2024
(((HUGS))) JoDeen

Hugs JoDeen!!

Me personally, I hate the word "hen-pecked," because it trivializes the concerns that the woman was expressing, as if she was a chicken rather than a real person who is trying to make a valid point and not being listened to.
#21: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jan 12, 2024 [SPOILER]
Thank you, Kristen, Jota and Valerie. I really spend most of the time being positive. I kind of hate that word "hen-pecked" too...lol...probably why I said what I did. Anyway, I woke up with a happy heart today, which is my aim for every day.
