Well, I decided to go back and read the unread posts from the Spot of Fun MMP of which there were approx 150. Finally finished. > [@(Old) A spot of good news in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-a-spot-of-good-news-in-the-mmp/1034165/240): > > how do you pronounce dahlia?

Thank you. For All Saints Day my daughter and I went to the cemetery, cleaned off my parents’, my grandmother’s and my aunt/godmother’s headstones. Then we said a rosary. I took a mum plant but when I drove into the front gates, there was a sign that said fall cleanup started this week; they were going to remove all decorations and dig up all flower beds. So, I just had the mum plant between my parents’ headstones while we sat for awhile. It was so pretty sitting there seeing all the beautiful colors of all the trees in the area. > [@(Old) A spot of good news in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-a-spot-of-good-news-in-the-mmp/1034165/305): > > The quilt. top is done. omgosh, that is so, so, so gorgeous!!! I love the pattern but absolutely LOVE the colors!!!

I first came to know of her on Twitter through The Golden Ratio about 9 years ago. > [@(Old) A spot of good news in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-a-spot-of-good-news-in-the-mmp/1034165/253): > > old lady farts all right, just cut it out with the old lady stuff. Yesterday Rachel Maddow said she was very very old, that she’s as old as or older than trees. I burst out laughing. looked it up and she’s 53 anna half. 4/1/63 yep she’s an April Fools baby. Anyway many/most of us are definitely older than her and we don’t think YOU are old. Rachel might qualify for AARP but just barely. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-puzzling-days-in-the-mmp/1034335)._
