You know you’re senile when…….. Picture it…a couple weeks ago, right as we are hit with a horrid cold snap with tornado type wind, the zipper breaks on the hood to my giant puffy coat. I bought the coat just a couple months ago but I no longer have the damn receipt. After a few days of suffering with an itchy wool hat (and hair thus ruined for the entire day) I get the brilliant

Last weekend my tooth started hurting. Monday I found a dentist with an english website and made myself the soonest available appointment. Unfortunately that was not until Wednesday at 1:30.The pain continued to worsen. By Wednesday ,it was so bad that hubby told me to "take a taxi" to my appointment. By 11:00 that day ,I was in such agony ,I decided to go early and hope for a cancellation.I had

It took me all day to see everything. (actual photo of hoards of people ) I wound up buying 2 little clay pots from Iceland. Here's the kind of merchandise that

Hi y'all, You were all right about the curtains, they are hideous. However ,they're also about 10 feet tall and I've decided it wouldn't be worth the cost for me to replace them .For the short time that we will be here ,I've made peace with the fact that those curtains will remain part of the whole "Denmark experience". Let me see, you guys also said "there's no cats" they were

When I went to Tivoli the other day ,the reason I went was just to go to their famous Christmas market. So I walked to the train station and took a train to central station.As it turned out there was a big sign saying "Tivoli" right by the exit. Instead of having to walk and find Tivoli ,all I had to do was cross the street and join the huge mob in the line to get in. The famous
