Home and away

[london1967]

Last night I had my weekly Skype call with my brother and my parents, and I was surprised not to see my mother there

Boy that is a huge disparity in quotes. I am guessing that a good job would be somewhere between the two.

I have not seen "Julie and Julia" yet either, but it seems to be gone from cinemas here. Have fun and tell Adrian hello for me!

Well there's no correlation between price and quality when it comes to workmen... it's all down to luck.

Thanks! I will do.

So true - I can identify with that being away as well. My mom had a surgery a little over a week ago without telling any of her sons beforehand. It winds up it was a broken off sewing needle from her quilting supplies. The scary thing is she remembers finding the other broken end, but has no recollection of it stabbing her in the leg. She thought she had some weird insect bite that was not healing.

Needless to say, my brothers and I are very concerned...

Bloody hell!

Well hope she's OK.

She is fine - they extracted a 1" piece of sewing needle from her thigh and put her on an antibiotic to make sure she does not get a nasty infection. I am still very concerned she has no memory of breaking a needle off in her leg.
