I'm dropping by to ask for suggestions for a good book to put on my Kindle (would like something free from Amazon). I've been catching up on the Iris Johansen forensic-style books at the recommendation of a friend, but am about burned out on those now. Want something to read while I'm cooling my heels in a surgery waiting room next week. Next Monday best friend is having an elective double mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery (diagnosed with a small tumor in her left breast earlier this month, but she didn't want to chance a simple lumpectomy with radiation). Take them both, she decided. I'm 66 and this just makes me mad as hell. Got any ideas?

It probably needs a good cleaning to work properly because sometimes the mainspring gets gummed up from old lubricant and starts to stick and so won’t unwind cleanly. Looks like you could pry out the small nails or brads holding the back on the case look at the the movement in the case that way. Take another look-see for maker marks on the movement. The movement is probably held inside the case with some screws.

I make applesauce year-round and it's delicious. I use combinations of apples, like Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Gala or Fuji, and Braeburn if they're available. That machine makes quick work of the hard part. Yesterday I got permission to let a 9-month-old baby try some for the first time. He adored it; I was so proud. I do about a dozen apples at a time, and the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of added sugar.

Thanks for being here. I had seafood today for the tradition (shrimp) and tomorrow will prepare a standing beef rib roast for those of us without family. It’s a nice get together.

The mention of wearing a watch reminded me of something that happened recently. I was furniture shopping with a friend (Virginia) who’s a few years older than I and her daughter Sarah, who’d brought along VA’s grandson in a carrier. Somebody at one point asked what time it was….Sarah immediately looked at her cell phone, I looked at my watch, and Virginia looked outside to check the position of the sun in the sky. Gotta be a generation thing.

Those aren't Navy insignias and they aren't as old as World War II. That discharge pin is the star of your grouping. Hope this has helped.

Would that fit with your grandfather? Soldiers didn't have to serve in Vietnam to wear the new subdued insignia, it went across the board. Everyone did.

Which turned out to be pretty good targets for snipers. So they went to subdued black. I will say I have never run across a hat badge in subdued black; that item wasn't worn on the combat uniform. OK, your star US pin is one of two versions of the Honorable Discharge pin, the other being the more famous "ruptured duck" with an eagle.

The subdued insignia was introduced during Vietnam and is still in use. The crossed cannons indicate the Artillery Corps. I see a subdued hat badge (the eagle and shield) and what looks to be a second lieutenant bar (if it’s gold, if it’s silver that’s a first lieutenant). The little round starred device I can't see very well. Can you do a closeup of it? Might be a pin for something after service, like the American Legion or VFW.

Utah State hoped to add their name to the minimal list of those who defeated a national championship team in their next season opener and by golly they came close to doing that. Utah hasn't beaten an SEC team since the 1970's. But the Tigers came back and won. It was close.

Lord, I loved that show, and would always be home at 9 on Sundays to watch it. I recently rented the whole shebang from Netflix and caught up with it again. Interestingly, one of the lesser actors in the original series is still in the biz. Kevin McNally, who plays Drake Carne (romantic lead in a substory) and who was then very young and dashingly handsome, now plays pirate Joshamee Gibbs, henchman to Johnny Depp's Capt Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Time has not been kind to him.

After the tornado we had on April 27 and lost power for 7 days she bought a generator to keep his equipment running. Guess what? Her insurance won't pay for that. It was a life-saving measure and took her a while to find one in the first place, but her insurance won't cover it. That isn't right.
