Sorta true. I bought my own sander, but it's disappeared. I do, however, have my own tool box. I need a bigger one, because it's like a purse - things multiply and then it's overflowing and I can't get the latch closed.

I bought a shirt from Coldwater Creek last Saturday while out shopping w/ my friend. It's a crisp white button down. I've always wanted a plain white shirt and this one looks starched even when it's not. Very nice.

I used to crochet when kids were little and I had way too much time watching gymnastics and swimming classes. We still have a couple of those afghans. If it would keep me from eating I should start again. There is a yarn shop close by that has open knitting night where you can go hang out and get help w/ your projects. They serve champagne and chocolate. I'd end up w/ very messy yarn.

DD's menu last night - Chicken kabobs, grilled marinated shrimp, hamburgers, potato salad, spinach salad & coconut cream pie for dessert. Also a cheese dip w/ crackers for appetizer. I'm so glad she learned to cook. When DS & gf were leaving, he hugged DD and told her he loved her --- ahhhh, so nice to hear after all those years of sibling rivalry.

Bagzie, don't feel too bad about not doing the Easter displays - it does feel way too early this year - I'm just doing an easy ham dinner at home for my immediate family and Grandpa Jim. I don't have a single display up either - but that's normal for me. I still need to go get Easter basket supplies for my babies - oh yeah, they're grown - but they still believe in the Easter bunny.

TPBM still believes in the Easter bunny too.

False. I wasn't raised with any Easter Bunny. I like the chocolate ones, though.

I have a complaint. A local chain office supply store advertised almost everything in the store 15 percent off. So I went in. All the employees were under 21 and knew not a whole lot. There were 2 ink cartridges that would fit my printer Lexmark 16 and Lexmark 17. I asked the difference and was told "That one's 16 and that one's 17." Finally, I left. Today I returned and found an adult. I told him I wanted the 17 but not the one THE ONLY ONE on the shelf as it had been opened. I wanted a rain check. Actually, I wanted to get two of 'em on the sale. Grumpy man said no rain check becuase they're not out of them. They've got that one. I argued that it was opened. He opened it again, removed the tape, and took out the cartridge in the mylar. I agree it's 99.9 percent ok but I don't want to buy an expensive item that's been through any rejection process. I want fresh and dependable. I called the corporate office to complain, especially as this store advertises that if they're ever out of any ink or toner, you get $20 off it when it comes in and they deliver. The guy on the phone had the same attitude. There was one there and you should buy it if you want the product. No rain check.

I wonder if it's a game they play. If someone bought that opened one, would they suddenly find another to put on the shelf to avoid the $20 off and delivery?

Store name rhymes with tax.

TPBM hasn't complained about a store in over 10 years.

False. I have time because Bagz's file download QUICKLY for me. Poor Kiwi.

Guess what I'm doing on Saturday?????? GuesssSSSSS. Ok. I'm going to a little shop called Shear Pleasures and having a ONE HOUR MASSAGE><

I want it now.

Thanks to DS, we now have Linux on our puter. Anybody know how to use i

Wonderful about your sissy, Batz. Yay. Is he American?

TPBM has been a Mystery Shopper.

It is so nice to hear from Lashbut. If she comes in more regularly, I'll say it's better than nice.

Here is how we can bring our thread to a complete and final halt. Godwin's Law


I learned this when I attempted to quiz DS about his philosophy class. They discuss Terri Shiavo but he won't tell me anything that's said. I asked if it hinted at ****sm .. determining that the handicapped should not live .. and he said, "Mom, look at Godwin's Law. You lose."

So I did and I have.

TPBM already knew about this.

False. Too much for my tiny brain today. Ds is so smart.

Hi Lushy!!!

I have a headache. We went through the deep freeze today and wrote down what was in there because we keep buying new food thinking we have none when in fact the d*mn thing is full to the brim. I hate menu planning. Must go to the in-laws for an Easter-like dinner tomorrow night which will leave us to look for eggs in peace on Sunday. Yay.

I did Leslie again yesterday and she totally kicked my arse. Lost half a pound. Go me.

TPBM is about to start a new thread.

Nope, because I can't think of a witty heading.

You go girl, you walkin' Sugar P.... and I know what you mean about menu planning and grocery shopping and cooking and dishwashing and the whole schmear. Why did we get elected to feed ppl - and they want to be fed every day. No wonder we have weight problems - our entire life is obsessing about food..... and ... The problem w/ freezers is that the food is always frozen when you need to cook it.

Hi Lush. You sound busy. Of course I'm an extremely busy woman, constantly doing unbelievably important things and I make time to post. I guess you just have to have your priorities straight.

Peach, enjoy your massage - you deserve some pampering.

And hi and goodbye to everyone else. You cute cowsies have a loverly Easter and I hope the bunny brings you the good chocolate, not just peeps.

TPBM really is going to start a new thread.

False. I would start one if it were April because DS gifted me with a heading on the way to the airport.

One of the entourage walked up to me and said, "Hi. I'm Herbie's EX son in law." I shook his hand and said, "We're all his EX somethings, I guess." He went on to say that Herbie is quite a guy to take everyone to Spain. I guess.

I am in my underwear because I can be. This is what happens when the house is empty.

Thank you, Wabbo, I REALLY want the massage. I want aroma therapy and nice water sounds in the background. We'll see what I get.

Sugar, the thing that gets rid of headaches is pork. Have you tried that? I know a woman who lived in Spain for several years. She said they eat rabbit and seafood. DS won't eat shellfish because I don't. I want him to try it but he refuses. He may be forced this week, you think?

TPBM thinks it's ok to accept Herbie's generosity and still call him an *ss.
