    Thankful Thursday
    GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIAS

    I have not done a thing this day as of yet. Well of the "getting stuff done" nature anyway. Sipping on my first coffee of the day and waking up to the world. I need to plan what will be for dinner so I can thaw something out. Life is good. We are still looking for a manx kitten and so far have not seen one add in the area for any. Wonder if they are a west coast thing and they don't have them here. O ~ but we will keep looking. I can deal with that ~ I just want a kitty and Ragg Mopp pays attention to the TV when a feline appears. Thanksgiving day will be on us before we catch our breath for it is coming quick. Then Christmas is right around the corner.

    JEAN Hope you are having fun at your lunch with the crafters. I probably have the very kitchen scales you just got and am also wondering if the will work with the new program. I know they will still weigh but the other information will have to be different. You know me, I will have to get one of the new models.

    DONNA FAYE Thanks for the explaination on the gifts. Sounds like a worthy cause you and your family are doing. What fun also. Seems like all the food catalogues I am getting also have me with a line of credit. I refuse to use it though for we don't charge anything anymore. Debt free and we want to keep it that way. Well, debt free except for our Jeep. Still have a couple years paying for that. I just meant no charge "stuff." We have enough "stuff."

    SUSAN I am hoping the "on line" folks will be offered deals like you posted. I would buy the program this day if it were offered to me because I want time to look it over before it all starts. You are very fortunate to do that.

    Well Magnolias ~ have your self a wonderful day. Type at y'all later.

    Good afternoon, ladies! Overcast and 55 degrees.

    Faye, it sounds like you have everything under control for the holidays. You always are so organized. I don't think they have kangaroo farms. They are like the deer are here and considered a pest and hunted. I am going to start a pair of fingerless gloves over the weekend.

    Jean, TAKE THE SCALE BACK - they will give you a credit and you can use it for the new stuff. Have fun with the crafters! The old scales are fine for weighing but you can't use the points function since the formula is so different.

    Maggie, I would think the online shop would offer the same deals. I know you will want a scale and a calculator - more fun gadgets.

    I love baked potatoes so I looked them up in the UK - 8 oz. cooked weight is 8 points so it looks like a point and ounce. What I really want to know is popcorn. It's something I have nearly every day when I get in the mood to keep on nibbling at something.

    I have dinner at IHOP (senior talapia) and applique bee tonight.

    Back To Yack
    BACK FOR A TAD

    SUSAN According to the newspaper article in the paper the points for popcorn are "air-popped 25g = 4 POINTS" And don't forget that 1 oz equals 28.3496g.
