"Crisis" also means "opportunity," in Japanese... and to our Depression era grandparents and parents. Thanks for reading and commenting. :)

LOL - I love how you formatted this!! (Sooo tempted to steal it.) :) Mom and sister Lori are on social media, but Dad and two other sisters fiercely guard their privacy, so I almost never name them or

Thanks Lizzie! I'm trying to find the post that tells us how to acquire a handle such as @owasco's clever and apt "Silver Dish." I was thinking "Hi-Ho Silver" or if that's taken,
