Sure - I also cook dinner for them two to three times a week (but I did that before she was off with new baby), have gone over this week and done their laundry, dishes and ran the sweeper :) I have a terrific son who married a terrific woman - she just has trouble juggling too many things at once and her mom is living with them right now during her chemo treatments so it is pretty stressful for her (and him) right now .... besides I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR :)

I hear that... loud and clear.

You sound great. I have the kids packed up and we're heading your way. Eat your wheaties!

My family would help if they didn't all live a bazillion miles away, but since they do, it's just not an option, and it sucks. I hope your son and step-daughter know how lucky they are.

Roquelet - Indiana isn't too far from OH you know - we have more room in our house than we possibly can use - bring 'em on over :)

I looked at thoroughbredchampions.com and did not see the Classic Runners Index you referred to.

However I did see the Classic Runners Index at http://www.TBCProjects.com (Thoroughbred Classics Project) which is sortable by Dam, but that includes all three Triple Crown events.

I got very excited when I saw Aerolite producing 4 runners, but they were all Belmont starters.
Aerolite TRAFALGAR 1883
Aerolite SPENDTHRIFT 1879
Aerolite RUTHERFORD 1874
Aerolite FELLOWCRAFT 1873

I'd be interested in seeing the Classic Runners index at thoroughbredchampions.com

It's actually the same one. :)

I'd found it at ThoroughbredChampions years ago, but the link I have bookmarked goes directly to the index, so I'd no idea it had become its own site. All I could find of Thoroughbredchampions was a message board, so I guess it's gone now? I'm glad that data bank is still up, it's great!

Sorry to cause any confusion. :)

It appears that www.tbcprojects.com has had a face lift. I like the nice white pages. Easier to read that way. Neat site. I can waste hours there.
