Jean: Boy you are having some really cold temps. Of course, most states have their coldest weather in January I think, but I don't envy you the minus windchills. One of the threads a few years ago Susan and I belonged to up and disappeared overnight. There were several woman on the thread and then poof, nothing. I remember a lady named Carol lost her husband and quit posting, but would peek in, someone with the user name Jello and a few others including Susan. They posted one day and then the next and from then on everyone except Susan was gone. It was weird. Jack says he doesn't want both surgeries at once, but the poor guy can't decide which, his knee or his hand needs it worse. I think he should have the knee done as he has to walk and the hand is his left one and though he does need it for work, it isn't his writing hand and as such could deal with it being out of commission. We got a giggle last night as I told him I thought he ought to just get it all done, but he said no and said, "besides you are NEVER going to shave me again!" He had to have shoulder surgery years ago when he was in the Navy on his right shoulder, which put his right hand out of commission. He had to go to work as the Navy doesn't give you weeks off no matter what and he HAD to shave everyday so I tried it and practically took a layer off. It is hard to do to someone else. You don't know how much pressure to exert, etc because you aren't feeling it against your own skin. He ended up scrunched up shaving himself. It was a sight.
Maggie: Ok, so you know what I sent you was my phone number, right? I have been kind of bored with evening tv. I have to tell you I am really, really sick of all the gay programming on tv. Seems like all the sitcoms they stick some gay couple into it or something. I will not watch that garbage. I also don't watch the reality stuff like American Idol, Survivor, Biggest Loser and stuff like that. I am so over the reality stuff and bored with it. They just keep sticking stuff on tv though. You have all those Real Housewives shows and they are revolting. I mean why air your dirty laundry to millions and show what a horses patooty you are just because you are rich?
I stick to mostly House Hunter, Property Virgins, some of the cooking stuff and reruns of shows I like.Susan: We miss you and hope you are getting better!
Well gals, I need to get some breakfast. Jack made a mess making his this morning so I have that to clean up too. I am done with one sock. Put your sunglasses on for this one! I got the other skein to start the second sock and looked at what the color was named and it was "loud and proud." Boy is that appropriate, but they are great looking socks very primary color. I hope Kelly likes them but then she loves crazy socks and those crazy colored Converse tennies. Faye
I've got the crafty group this afternoon -- makes me giggle every time I think of it because I am the least crafty one in the bunch. It's a nice social time though. I have some over ripe bananas and Bob hinted that banana bread sounded good to him.
I have evened up Bob's neckline between haircuts and he swears I am pulling each hair out individually. 
from Iowa!
He has already figured out how he can get down and up the stairs here in the house. I had been in here and posted before and when I went to leave my internet connection went south. Just poof went my post. Will got hold of the company just before he left and they said they were down for unknown reasons and would call as soon as they were back up. They got back up quickly for it wasn't long after Will left that they called me to tell me. I have chicken soup out thawing for dinner. Poor Will didn't get to have any breakfast and his coffee he surely missed. He did make some and brought it to me here in my office like he does every morning. What a guy. After I leave here I am going to work on my glass project.
I hope you find a loveseat that you like and can get the dryer asap. I thought dryers came with cords. 
I do put nuts in banana bread if I have them on hand. Bob would eat nuts in everything if he has a choice.
Iowa!
Will used to have a longer one but it got stolen when some of his things disappeared. I can see Beanie laying on a pillow in the hallway all curled up taking a nap looking so adorable. It is a pillow that Ragg Mopp took out of a doggie bed when he was a baby and always used it ouside of the bed. Beanie has confiscated it as his own now and it is his day time sleeping bed. Beanies night time bed remains under a chair in the bedroom. When Beanie isn't sleeping on the pillow Ragg Mopp still plays his game with it. He puts a ball in the middle of it then grabs the edge of the pillow and slings his head and the ball goes flying. Then he has fun finding where it landed. Every once in awhile it gets washed. 
I am so glad they have learned to share and to get along. My glass building is looking good. I have the wall pieces tacked together and will do some soldering and assembling it to day. It is going to be a real cute barn when finished. Maybe I can take a picture and figure out how to put it on this thread when it is done. Well see.
Good idea! I got the recipe from one of my Kdg. mothers so have had it for many years; have not made it for years either. 
Glad to know that Will is on the mend; I hope WM as a cane for him as our WM has quit carrying many, many items that I would consider to be good sellers.
I swear she puts a bowl on Bob and he forgets to tell her that he (I) want it shaped to his neck and not a bowl cut! I feel so sorry for Jack with his hurting knees and hand.
