Oh Crap!! Had a long post all written and it went Poooooff! Now I have to start over with a severe case of CRS. Sigh.

Maria, pet stores have special frisbees for dogs made out of canvas, with a hard rubber ring around the outside. DD has them for her dogs. She doesn't like the plastic ones either. You did well at the dentist, I want to either be novacained or unconscious, even though I've gotten over the cold sweats, I'm not too interested in pain.

Also, regarding the bill paying. See if your bank offers this service, They may have it and you are not aware of it. If they don't, check out the link Darius gave us yesterday. I don't believe they require a deposit, you give them your bank's routing number and account number and they take it directly out of your account and send it to your payee. Just go to the site, I'm sure they have explanations of what steps you need to take to participate.

Elaine, that shrimp dish sounds delicious, but I might leave out the green and red peppers, they don't agree with me. I bookmarked that site and will go explore it for other recipes later. Last night I made a Thai curry dish that I saw on Caprial and John's cooking show ...and also made Crab Rangoon. Lots of them. I had no idea there were so many wonton wrappers in one little package! They can be frozen so I deep fried 8, and froze the other 50. LOL They turned out fine.

Asked DH if he liked them. He said they were lighter than the ones we get at a chinese restaurant. I said, I asked if you liked them and he said, they're lighter. I said, I didn't ask if they were lighter I asked if you liked them. You made a statement about them, not an opinion. Finally he said Oh, yeah, I liked them. Pulling teeth I tell ya!!
The Thai recipe called for red chili paste so I was a little cautious in putting it in, as they didn't give amounts but on the show they put in a big glob...good thing, it was pretty hot. Kind of near the edge of too hot, hope I remember the amount next time.

Suzie sounds like you had all your calamities in one fell swoop! Remodeling is enough of a mess, without drain problems. Sarv, you might want to consider the Rotorooter guy too! Especially in the cold weather. Our septic alarm went off clang! clang! clang! , last year. DH assumed there was a margin of safety but he was wrong. When they came to pump it, the guy said it was almost ready to back up because the float had failed. The builder installed an enclosed (probably cheaper) float/pump which can't be repaired, so we had to put in a new (separate) pump and float.

9kitty, I don't think nonsubscribers can read our addresses or email, but I know they can send dmail. Wonder who "told" her you would send seeds for a SASE. I really think that's kind of nervy. You did the right thing.

Speaking of seeds, Molly, I sent off a packet of Moonflower seeds that Darius had said she wanted, along with some morning glories. Did your mail man hijack them? Seems they should have been there by now. If not, watch your mailbox.

Here's what I did with my plastic covered fireplace opening...remember I was feeling drafts from it and covered it up? The plastic was so ugly, I decided to stick a poster in front. Almost looks like a fire, if you ignore the palm tree.....LOL

Hi to Kelly, and Mary E and everyone else I haven't mentioned....I
need to tackle the laundry monster and tidy up the living room, which is cluttered with every cat toy Sammi could pull out of the box. I swear it's just like having a two year old....plus shedding..
