Mary, Ribs and Kraut sound great for a cold day. DH likes them with BBQ but I snag a few out for the next day's lunch, and put them in the slow cooker in the morning with a little can of kraut just for me. I've just gotten him to eat cabbage, after 20+ years, so I don't hold out much hope for kraut.

Sarv, not your fault that DB and SIL have to reschedule their vacation, they had plenty of time to find another watch dog for ltheir kids. How selfish of them, you don't need to feel one bit guilty. I have to say some of the Dell and Gateway packages look pretty interesting. A friend of mine who does a lot of professional photo work to make cards and calendars has a Gateway, and has gotten free upgrades since she bought it. She likes it very well and has had no problems.

Briar Rose, and McCool, I STILL don't know what the hoodie hoo is, probably some secret society password that we are not privy to. That bit of nonsense doggeral I posted just comes out of me like hot air with no encouragement whatsoever. If I tried to do it, nothing would happen, but once in a while the first couple lines pop into my head and from there it takes off on it's own.

Dcat, thanks for sharing the pics, nice to see you!! I can't guarantee that slaying the laundry monster here will prevent it from rearing it's ugly head in other homes. It gets reborn like dust and mold, and unanswered mail.....no stopping it.

Imagine, our ancestors wore the same clothes all week long until laundry day. I'm betting we do a lot more laundry than they did when they had to boil water on top of a wood stove and scrub it on a wash board. They had to work harder at it though. My mom did it with a wood stove. How we kids hated laundry day! House was all steamed up. Clothes had to be hung on a line outside, freezing weather or not.

My grandmother used to bring in frozen long johns (not the bakery kind) and prop them up next to the stove to thaw. We thought it hilarious when the legs thawed and they slowly drooped to the floor. Well, we didn't have television in those days, didn't take much to amuse us.

Robert that puppy has grown so much already! Aren't you glad you made the trip to get her? What beautiful faces on those Shelties.

Hi, keyi, and welcome. Glad Ranger is still with you. Is he handling the chemo well? He's such a beautiful dog. You have sugar gliders!! I would love to have a pair, they are so cute. Do they require a lot of care? I'm putting on a pot of lemon zinger for you since you aren't a coffee person. We have tea potters here too.

MG , I heard chat was kablooey last night. I don't go on, it's too fast for me, but somebody put a thread up called Annex so I guess some were able to chat there. Pass the chocolate, it 's too early for a margarita.

9kitty, no news is good news as far as your DD's nonexiting stone is concerned. This is going on two weeks now, isn't it? What a chore, straining............never mind. LOL

DR, everything looks bad here right now. After several weeks of above freezing shrubs and trees were starting to bud, and then we got the zero days, so there will be far fewer spring blooms this year. Too bad, my lilacs were so nice last year after 4 years in the ground. Not much we can do about it.

Dmcd, I'm in the same boat with you. I've been requested not to sing more times than I can count. I usually do it to annoy my children. My folks used to say I couldn't carry a tune in a bushel basket, so I didn't put much effort into it.

I should have asked for the 2X4 last night. We were watching the Olympics in the living room, and about 9:30 I told DH I was tired and cold and going to bed. Went in the kitchen to start the dishwasher, and lo and behold, he made tracks for the bedroom and turned on the tv in there, and there went my peace and quiet. I put a pillow over my head but I could still hear it, and it didn't go off until 11: He can sleep through football, auto races, etc., but I can't. Big boob!

I'm going to go tackle those drapes again and get that seam unseamed....%#$@%!!

Here's Sammi destroying the evil mouse this morning...does he look like Barishnikov???
Later dudettes,
