I agree completely - on all counts except the napkins.

Hey, sent a PM for you!

My first ever first sucker! WOOT! Or should that be WINE.WOOT!?

The world is stupid.

ohh I am in trouble... I just put away some wine I had ordered from WTSO..... I have no room in the wine fridge... I have stacked bottles on top of each other... ohhh I am in big trouble!!! maybe I can stash a couple in the white wine fridge... I think there is a spot or 2 available!! when I start double stacking bottles my "wine buying addiction" starts to be noticed by the family!!!

hubby just came home with 2 huge bags of veggies, one is mustard greens the other I believe are turnips with tops... (talking garbage bags!!big ones) I need ideas on what to do with them please!!

Mustard greens; steam 'em, just a little, and a dollop of that Balsamic.

In the strictest sense of the word yes, cause he's an tadpole. A pan JUST for grilled cheese is AWESOME. My initial thought was, here come all the dumbasses to tell me how nonstick is going to KILL US ALL WITH ITS CHEMICALS. Meanwhile, 2/3 of them smoke.

mommadeb1 wrote:sounds yummy!

you can also eat the turnip greens, they're goooooodddddd.

Lady I worked with used neck bones instead of ham hocks. Whatever way you go, they're friggin good. Recipes abound online.

Awesome, thanks!

There's a groupon deal for the flying shark, had to get one. At first I wasn't because getting helium would be annoying but it just looks too silly/fun.

For those with a Roku:

there are apparently private channels not available in the store. I'll let you search out the nature films ones ;)

Anyway, two of immediate, and topical, interest:

Woot: channel ID: bppim (no clue what it actually does, probably just has the current woots)

WineUpTV: Channel ID: WineUpTV

You can add these by clicking the links and then clicking add and going to your Roku Account.

Looks like there is a crap-ton(*) of those pans. So you can be sure to pick one up.

(*) a crap-ton is like a metric ton, but a whole lot crappier.

Is that anything like a metric butt-load?

I did try to go to Radio Shack to get one, guy checked, none left in the district

I got lucky and got the last two in Omaha. Never did make it out to the town that was holding one for me. As portable as it is, I figured why spend another 30 bucks. I've got a cord I can use for it and extra hdmi so if I want to use it downstairs, I'll take it off the tv upstairs.

my son got one for christmas.... unfortunately, it got sucked into the fan and it ripped off the top fin... and guess what, you can't get replacements! it was super fun while it lasted!

Just missed the Barrel of Crops!

how the hell to I keep missing it!??? I didn't even see it and I have been updating my computer constantly, instead of being productive on my day off!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

bahwm wrote:Just missed the Barrel of Crops!

I got clear to the order confirmation page, at which point it let me know it didn't go through.

Yeah, that seems to be a common experience, judging by the comments. I was so excited, for a minute anyway.

It's only 30 including shipping on groupon right now if you want another . How hard is it to get the helium, just go to a party store and ask?

we got the balloon tank kit, I think at walmart..or target.it has a helium tank plus balloons...

It's probably just me, but this wine woot off has been rather lukewarm, no?

Moi aussi. Course I was with my mom for one of her appointments.


Ah well. Hopefully I'll be around for the next one.

How are things with your folks? We haven't had an update in a while......

Dad's pretty much the same, although they are trying to get him to sit up more during the day in a chair. Still not eating much (around 60% of his meal or less)so he's still skin and bones. But he was talking better last night when I took mom to see him.


Mom is still having issues with her short-term memory.


And we found out on Saturday that an old family friend had a massive stroke the week before. It's a baby getting old!!!

Did they change your dads meds again to see if that will help?

What do the docs think is up with your moms memory?

we are not getting old... we are seasoned ........

It's usually 10k monkeys.

Ah thanks, guess the helium's going to cost more than the shark

Both of us are correct, but you more than me. Now that we automatically get 3 per Bunnies Ogling Carrots order, it's less. BUT ... when you could try for 1, 2, or 3 sets; it was more.

tenuki wrote:Ah thanks, guess the helium's going to cost more than the shark

Not necessarily.

You could also use the Balloon Time Store Locator to locate a store (Kmart, Walmart, Party City, Target, Toys R Us, etc.) close to you that carries them.


Edit: And I seem to remember seeing them sometimes at Costco or Sam's Club at a discount as well.

Ah, cool. Apparently I can also get it filled at a place like that pretty cheaply, but then I'm driving around with a 5' floating shark in my car. I need the Jaws soundtrack
