See, Sugar? did you get my email? We were separated at birth.

OK my darling cowsies..... I'm signing off for the weekend...... just want you all to have a loverly
Happy Thanksgiving!!!! and I hope you Canadians and Canadians in Foreign Lands have a good weekend too.

I'm off to slave over my hot oven!!!

nope. I didnt see the descriptions. I messed around with and found Hilter which was quite enough messing around for me. You and Sugar are the same.

I want you all to visit my new blog and leave comments about me being a genius like Sugar did. Then I want you to come vacuum my carpet.

Thanks to Kiwi and Shots for the celery plate info. I have asked DS to bring home the appropriate things from work. And catfood. While he was out, I went to WMart. Think he'll notice?

I absolutely do not blame you for the rat-singing. I would be doing the same thing. Last night DD and I had to battle a giant spider (DH had gone to bed). We were brave and true and we defeated the enemy.

Yeah, we had another roof guy work on it last year I think. And DH has patched it over and over. It just keeps leaking and leaking. It's pretty hopeless. Even if it were permanently fixed, the whole ceiling and whatever's above is rotten.

Can I come over for turkey tomorrow? It sounds sooooo good !

Poor Grampa. I feel his pain. I cut my finger this afternoon and I keep banging it on things. So I have a leaky roof and a sore finger too.

DD is complaining that someone turns on the washer or starts doing dishes or something every time she gets in the shower. She usually takes her shower sometime in the evening, so it's not surprising. But she wants me to notice when she's taking a shower and not use the water. I told her she had it backwards -- her problem, she can jolly well tell me she's taking a shower and I will gladly not use the water. She's still arguing about it. Irrationality reigns.

He won't notice, Peach. He's a male. I'm sending DH down there to vacuum your carpet. He seems to be able to do that.

I remember pickled relatives. I miss that. Occasionally there are pickled rels at my family's in NC, but they are less amusing because they are more likely to be my husband. Or me or another of my generation. It was fun when it was uncles and dads and the occasional tipsy aunt.

What is one step down from a stripper? Never mind. I don't think I want to know.

I have to go stuff some onions. I have had a very frustrating day. It's 9 PM and I've barely scratched the surface of my meager offerings.

Later.

Kiwi

P.S. the whole sugar thing -- maybe that's why birthdays and christmas are so depressing!

1. one step down from a stripper (actually lots of steps) = thief

2. I bought Ds a table at Wmart to use for a desk in his room. Think he won't notice that? It's possible.

3. I have the vacuum out.

4. I will enjoy the friends' friends because I have a new view of pickled people at the table. They drink and drink. They are from New Orleans. Apparently, other than losing some major stuff in Mississippi, they're ok. The National Guard camped on their land in Mississippi so what the storm didn't take, no one took.

5. If Kiwi and Sugar were separated at birth, then Sugar is really a Yankee?

6.Where is Bagz? It's not her holiday. No excuse.

Got it! We're twins! (oops, how'd that get in there? looks like a good candidate for a veggie platter)

I would seriously like to try giving up sugar but I don't know if I could do it since I tend to stuff things in my mouth without even thinking about it.

One of the few things I did today was vacuum. I had that graduate student coming in the morning for tutoring so I HAD to tidy up at least a bit. Poor thing - she got back from a vacation in China a few days ago, and on her first day back at work at the university she left her office for half an hour and some guy came in and stole her laptop AND her bag with money, bank card, ID card, car papers, keys etc. She was really upset, especially when she saw her laptop up for auction at eBay the next day! She tried to bid on it and buy it back from the guy, but he got suspicious and didn't go through with the auction. And the police say they can't do anything because of lack of evidence. Huh? She found out the guy's name and address and has the serial number for her laptop and hard drive, but they still won't get a search warrant. Great.

Other than that, I have developed a REALLY bad habit of going to bed somewhere between midnight and 1 a.m. even when I have to get up at 6:30 the next morning. I need to break the cycle and be normal again.

My voice must be heard-although I am in pain ..don't ask: A cooking episode...(what the h*LL- ?? The bold/Italiac/etal is Gooone! How can I express myself? EMOTE if U will..without THEM!!!!) I Can't go on... I will check back later.. hopefully full Functionality will return to the site... I can't say the same for my breastissI (is that the singular expression for breast Kiwi??) OKAY MY BOOB or BOOBI!...Dangling,pendulous breasts are fire hazards.

Schatzi!! What?? You burned your boob???? What happened? Is it going to be OK?

We had SNOW. I'm not sure I like it yet.

Why is the reply box this weird grey colour? And why is there a smiley drop down menu (see? I can talk like a geek) when they're still on the side anyway?

This is awful!!! Shots' boobi has been injured. And the story about Sugar's grad student is awful as well. How terrible to be violated and helpless. How do police do things in Germany? Serial numbers mean nothing?

I'm confused though, how did you manage to be so much younger than me?
Be careful, it's a vicious cycle. I haven't managed to break it after years of sleeping 4-5 hours at night and 2-3 hours in the daytime (which has become much harder with DH home and Jet to take care of)

Oh good grief, Schatzi, what have you done? Or maybe I don't want to know! Hope you feel much better soon.

The 3fc's say that you may need to do a hard refresh (F5) to get everything functional. Or maybe those things aren't working yet, not sure.

Oh Cool -- You Can Do A Quickie Edit -- Try It -- Hit Edit On Your Post.

That smilie drop down seems totally redundant, though.

There's a switch editor mode over in the upper right corner that looks interesting. Must try later when I have time. Gotta go now and sell Christmas ornaments for music boosters.

Nice work Kiwi. Where is YOUR blog?
