Good Afternoon GG's

Happy Halloween! What is everyones plans for tonight? Did anyone dress in costume over the weekend? We used to go to party's every year, haven't in some time. As I got older it kind of lost it's appeal. DGS's birthday party was a real success. Everyone had so much fun, said it was the best party they had ever been to. He dressed up for school today too. Does any one remember "The Outsiders"? He's dressing as Pony Boy. That is his favorite movie, odd since it is so old.

I wash windows. Not that I like it or anything that dumb, but I can't stand looking out through a dirty window. And I don't mind ironing. It's kind of soothing.

Carol Sue, My mom makes chow chow. the old fashioned, southern kind. Next time I talk to her I'll get the recipe and send it to you. Sounds like that is the kind you want. I do use coupons when I shop. I don't believe those "Super coupon" people either. They buy many papers and get them in ways I wouldn't be interested in. If I get the paper and there are coupons for things I really need, I might buy 2.

Marie, We keep waiting for our kids to "grow up". sometimes it just doesn't happen. Doesn't stop us from loving them, but makes it very hard to get along with them, prevents any real closeness. I'm sure his wife didn't want to meet with you alone, she knew she wouldn't be able to answer your questions about why you should apologize.

Nancy, I have cold feet too, and I have to wear warm socks in the house. I wear them to bed too, untill I get warm, then I take them off.

Karen, I use the same formula your dad did for windows, and I use a squeegy. Sometimes those old fashioned things just work. That's why they've been around so long.

Z, Have a good trip and be careful. I hope the weather gets better for you.

Donna, doing anything the easier way is fine! I'm all for easy! I just want them clean, I don't care how they get that way.

Rosie, your doggie ate your book? I would be a little upset. She would have to tell me the ending or be in big trouble.

Rie, I use flax seeds too. I buy a bag and keep them in the refrigerator untill I need them. I grind a small amount every week, just enought for the week. I sprinkle them on everything. I put them in pancake mix and muffins or sprinkle them on pudding or cereal. I also put them in meatloaf.

Everyone, have a happy day.

My keyboard got here this afternoon! My goodness I have a lot to learn now that it is here!! It has so many different things to do on it... WOW!!! Going to get some supper going now and I'll try to get back later.. hope everyone had a good day.

Hi Bobbi, Sorry, I do "play" sort of the piano and organ. Mostly I played the accordion though. I do read music but this is going to take some getting used to. I'm used to pushing buttons for chords and this one you have to know what the chord is.. But it should be fun

I am a Golden Girl with an 11 year old! Here is his costume for Halloween. We worked on it all weekend (paper mache") and we are no artists. But it was fun and he was a hit! (He is a "Threepeater" from the video game "Plants vs Zombies"

Hope you all have a great day!

Hi Changed---I thought that I would let you know that the new thread for November is open here: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/age-...den-girls.html You might want to repost this over there. By the way that costume is great! You really did a fantastic job!

Bobbie- I didn't turn to sweets when I quit alcohol, but DH did when he quit smoking. Big time! He always had hard candy in his pocket and sucks on it all day. But he doesn't put on any weight. He has a little bit of a belly, but that's all. His whole family grew up eating tons of sweets and none of them ever had a weight problem. My husband ate donuts and cakes and cookies for breakfast all his life. With coffee with tons of sugar. Even as a little kid. His mother didn't care. It's a really good thing I don't care for sweets much because we always have cakes and cookies in the house. What I don't bake, he buys at the bakery.
