Um, Ken - if you think Christine won't notice that moldy, faded green plastic lawn furniture - well.... Hmmmm.. maybe if we stick a few potted plants over there.. and how about a nice, bright throw rug to put over that other stain on that side of the room... change all the lightbulbs to dimmer ones and cover the windows so it's not so bright in here.. yeah, you just might get away with it Ken. :rolleyes:

So, what kind of mischief can we get into today? I need a distraction....

I have a bright orange and lime green rug and some pink flamingos, do you think we can use any of that to hide the damage. . . er, I mean to improve Christine's place?

Oh yeah! If you set the pink flamingos in that corner and put a lampshade on their heads - maybe she won't notice that her old lamps are 'missing'... You could use that rug to cover the big hole in the back yard.. is it large enough?

Did you guys ever watch trading spaces? Are you from the Hildie school of design?

Deb wouldn't buying even more discounted food from DDWS & SFS lead to other medical issues? Or are expiry dates not key anymore?
You do know that those expiration dates are just suggestions don't you? Besides, we haven't had that many complaints from the survivors.

Jasper you can drive a backhoe? cool!
In the last State Park where I worked, I had to operate a front-end loader from time to time. Maybe Jasper and I can kind of...relandscape...Christine's back yard for her. I think we should leave the fountain that Jasper created when he hit that pipe.

If we aim some coloured lights at it and put them on a timer it could be a real show stopper don't you think?

Funny, I must finance a ton of that kinda stuff and I've never even thought of trying to drive any. (most of my clients would prefer I not try to kill my self on their equipment apparently).

However anyone that has a "line" often teases me about trying to make "widgets" or whatever they make. Lucky for me it's just been teasing so far. I have gotten to pick colours sometimes though!

HEY! If we have a computer expert on here they can time the 'fountain' to music and she can have her own home version of the Epcot dancing fountain in her yard! (Think that would make up for the other 'improvements' we made?)

Nat - don't you think we are more like Doug from Trading Spaces? When it gets dark you ask? Well, that's where the new 'skylight' feature that Alex and Scott "installed' with their indoor grill experiment comes into play...

Doug often or sometimes anyway did stuff I could perhaps have understood but Hildie?

The stapled to the wall records?
The wine labels glued indvidually to the walls?
The silk flowers also stapled to bathroom walls?

I like the fountain idea -- the flamingos....not so much.

Just ate too much (its the coffee that always puts one over the top I have found!). Baileys Creme Caramel for dessert. I couldn't resist! Anyone care for a mint?

Is it wafer thin?

Di so whats are distraction? are we going somewhere? Or doing something? What about State Parks? I don't know anything about any of them. Can Ken educate us on them?

Or....maybe everyone could post their perfect tuna sandwhich construction method?

I've never been to any of your state parks.or National ones (Lots of our Provincial Parks however and some of the National ones here...I even have one in my town).

I don't know if we are that bored..but it's illegal for Jenn and I to discuss PB&J so I thought maybe tuna.

Would grill cheese be better?

Or Salad?

I was hoping to make a lot of money charging admission to see the new geyser. If we put a shut off on the line and have someone turn it on and off once an hour do you think anyone will notice it is not a real geyser?

I really don't think Christine will mind all the cars parked on her front lawn, do you?

Is that the guy who went back in New York from Seatle or something? I can't say I watch it much but remember something like that from one of the "why hasn't anyone who loves you stopped you from this" kinda people.

Mind you I'm still annoyed at Survivor taking a break this week even if it is lame this cycle. And with Romber getting eliminated I'm all out of reality tv for this week.

And worse yet I've started watching andromeda at 6am in the morning which makes little sense as I don't like sci-fi tv!

Sounds like a good plan to me. I really don't think the neighbors will notice anyway what with all the noise and destruction we cause when we visit while Christine is gone.

I really don't remember where the contestant was from. I kind of think it was a female but I might be wrong. And yes, it was one of those, why don't your friends stop you from doing this.

While there are certainly some contestants on Idol who are close but just not quite up to the talant of those selected, I really don't understand why the ones who are just awful try out? Can anyone explain to me why it is always the ones who are the most awful who think they are the most talented?

Mikki come back....I googled mrs sieff and got some lady who headed up the "wizo" group which was womens international zionest organization.

I'm highly confused as to why she'd be helping you out with a tuna sandwhich. Any clues? However I did keep going a few pages and got a thing about an owner for marks and sparks is it for takeout? Or ready to eat stuff? (and do I get points for calling it marks and sparks?)

Oh dear! I was slightly afraid of this.....

I am not at all sure what the USA equivelent would be but Mrs Sieff refers to the wife of the founder of Marks and Spencer. This is a national chain of shops that used to be known for clothes but also went into food about 20 years ago and you can buy the most delicious ready made meals that you could pass off as home made. Oh and they do a mean Tuna Sandwich! :D

Does that get any clearer? ;)

So have you been hitting the sauce or the meds again or does lack of sleep just cause you to have weird dreams? Of course, you do realize that we can always blame anything, including weird dreams and restless nights, on the dolls!!:thedolls:

The only meds I've had at night are Benadryl, and I took that to help me go to sleep. I'm really not sure what's causing the dreams, but it might very well be the :thedolls: . Only one of the dreams was Disney related though.

I just want to know who this Joe was that was so sloppy that he got a dish named after him? Why not a sloppy Sam, or Eric, or maybe a sloppy Pamela, or Susan?

Maybe we can start an Intercot campaign that will gain world wide attention from the news media and then the name will be changed forever and we will all get the credit!!!!!

Sorry I missed this post a minute ago Deb. But you know, you may be on to the source of Rhonda's weird dreams and restless nights! After all, that orange and green rug really does glow in the dark. Could that be what is keeping Rhonda up nights?

You know, I never did really figure out if it was the colors that made that rug glow or if it was the radioactive waste that was spilled on it?

While you're over there, check out the reports on Tokyo disney from Melenears. She and Christine have both written very good reports. Almost makes me feel bad about the way we left Christine's house. Eh, it'll give her something to do when she gets home so she won't have the Disney blues.

What's up with the weather? We've had spring all week and then back to winter this weekend. At least it's not snow like Alex came home to.

Uh...you mean posting on all Mel's reports wasn't a clue that I looked at them? Should I bring a drum kit with me? (Kidding Ken!!Couldn't resist pulling your leg just a little) My snow left again thank goodness!

Should we not head over to Mel's house? Even though she's not a JQ person that would still make one interesting road trip don't you think??

Have any of you all done the party for the senses thing?

I'm thinking about this for our next trip and wanted to get some feedback but only got three responses in dining. Apparently until Harry gets older I have the only 12 year old in the world (well 12 by then) who might eat the stuff? Ellen help me out there your son eats stuff other then nuggets too right?

By the way guys, I do live in a shared wall townhome. You ARE making all of those "home improvements" on the right side, aren't you????
Doesn't really matter, it's all kind of a 'pass-through' look now anyway, so left, right, whatever. You did say you always wanted a great room didn't you?

I thought they said that was the "other room"!!! I was thinking you had the fanciest kitchen in town!!!! (quick grab some posters....nobody will notice if we work quickly!)

Nat I am really interested in the Party for the Senses -- We'll have to align a holiday some day.... :eat: :marg: I am making a flourless chocolate and orange cake today --- anyone care to try some?

Oh yes please!! I made the most interesting orange choc. cake the other day (it uses marmelade instead of juice or something and hardly any butter because of the jam I guess). Quite brownie likeish when it's done.

So for DH's birthday dinner (disgustingly early as we have a business thing to go to the 24th and need to get ready for our invasion the week after even though his birthday is the 26th) should I go for a "pretty" cake or a homemade looking cake? I have two versions of a choc. cake to make. One has a swiss mer. icing (read swirly fluffy pretty cake) the other is a more traditional "homemade butter icing" (read a little thicker gloopy kind). Both are a similiar cake style although one is more dense sounding.

We are having antipasto (cold cuts, roasted peppers olives etc) to start as per DH's request. Prime rib with a garlic/horseradish rub and celeryroot/potato mash along with roasted carrots & parsnips and a red wine gravy. If that matters. I may toss in a salad or soup course not sure. Thoughts suggestions?

The antipasto will be served with Processco and the beef with a cab from California if that helps. (and of course Jenn I have some starbucks for with the Cake)

I would LOVE some of that cake, if it had no chocolate in it :( ....

Remind me again why you have given up chocolate? Is it in regards to your pal Frankie drummerboy? Or did you give it up for lent. Isn't dark chocolate supposed to be good for your heart?

:hi: Scott!! :wave: Nice to see you back!

Di -- would you like some ice-cream instead? This cake uses a whole orange -- boiled for 2 hours then cooled and completely mulched up for the liquid..... and 1 1/2 cups of cocoa -- so maybe too much chocolate for you?

When's dinner Nat? We're having company tomorrow night, but otherwise we are free :eat:

Nat - chocolate has caffeine so the specialist wants me to avoid ALL caffeine for now.

Jenn - I would LOVE some ice cream (even though our temps have dipped back to freezing). Do you have any Cinnamon? Or maybe some Black Cherry?

Welcome back Scott! You have been missed!

So, what's the plan today for Christine's home "renovention"?

Whoa that's harsh! If the dr's wanted me to give up caffine they'd better give DH and my co-workers some pain meds or something.

I have some maple walnut Di would that do?

Maybe Christine can give you some pics of non choc. desserts? Like the rice krispie treats?

I'm ok without caffeine - I don't need it to be in a good mood or anything like that. I just can't stand not having chocolate! I did cheat last Saturday though.. and it was ALL Scott's fault. His wife made a WONDERFUL Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie that had a chocolate topping on it!

Um, I"m not sure about Maple Walnut - do you have any Butter Pecan?

Yeah, Christine could be providing us treats also! I mean, we are 'fixing' up her house for her - FREE of charge and all! :D ;)

My gosh... I'm away for a day and now I had to spend almost an hour just to catch on you guys! They've installed WiFi on the treatment floor. I just might have to bring my laptop with me just so I can keep up. ;)

But you've convinced me...black it is. I was thinking that might be to sombre for mid-march but I'll just get some jazzy necklace or something. I do have my eye on the right pair of shoes already!
When are you planning on buying these items!?! Isn't it mid-March already?

Same thing. We have some uh, issues, with the drywall where Alex and Scott decided to play a pickup football game.
Thank goodness it was football. I thought maybe Alex was using his pink goofballs since they didn't allow them to do so on his trip.

IAnyone know when Pirates 3 is going to be released?
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is slated to debut on Friday, May 25 (guess who will be there). The trailer will be shown on television on March 19 (Monday) during Dancing with the Stars (which I never watch but will make an exception in this case) and debut online thereafter.

I think Ellen is our computery person no?
Do you know that the scary part is once it was posted about the dancing fountains, my mind immediately went to "how would you program that?" And then your comment really made me realize what a geek girl I am! :geek:

Is that what that was? I thought maybe we were close to geyser country and had our own "Old Faithful" going.

I was hoping to make a lot of money charging admission to see the new geyser. If we put a shut off on the line and have someone turn it on and off once an hour do you think anyone will notice it is not a real geyser?
Does the geyser run black by any chance? We are talking Texas after all!

Did the idea of party favors scare everybody off?
I love the idea of party favors! What do you have in mind?

So who is up for a dole whip? :cool: Or a mickey ice cream? Besides me Lol
Silly girl... I'm always up for a Dole Whip! (Though I do prefer the Pineapple Float :papple: :cloud9: )

Have any of you all done the party for the senses thing?

I'm thinking about this for our next trip and wanted to get some feedback but only got three responses in dining. Apparently until Harry gets older I have the only 12 year old in the world (well 12 by then) who might eat the stuff? Ellen help me out there your son eats stuff other then nuggets too right? Geesh!!
Ben definitely eats thing besides chicken strips (though I must confess that we do like them a lot :blush: ). I haven't seen the menu for the Party of the Senses, but I think he'd be game for trying new things. I think your DS would really enjoy the Party. What did he finally decide on the menu for his party?

I am making a flourless chocolate and orange cake today --- anyone care to try some?
Yes! :yes:

Yes, it's snowing here as well. :mad: I'm fresh out of groundhog meat or it would definitely be on the menu this weekend. As for late snow, I remember it snowing one year in April. Don't want to do that again!

A tread mill and a bike? How big is your apartment?

DS decided on cheeseburgers, smoked paprika potato salad and cupcakes for dessert. He didn't want his friends to not have fun he says. (He had briefly toyed with greek marinated chicken or soulvaki...then changed his mind!)

And I'll be picking up the dress and shoes this weekend. They are for next weekend. It's not like you need these suckers before the event or anything. Plus all these cocktail dresses get on DH's nerves so I try to just sneak them in on time.

Even :sick: DS8 is saying.... "what smells so good?" I told him it's tomorrow's dinner -- could I get him a piece of toast? He wasn't amused.

We are having some friends for dinner tomorrow night -- we circulate -- about every two months we end up at someone's house -- and have some fabulous food.... There are three couples representing 5 countries (and wine regions :rolleyes: ) -- and we always have a terrific time. So Nat....thanks for the offer, but I am busy tomorrow night -- can you send the leftovers for Sunday? :tasty:

Does this mean I shouldn't complain because we are only in the mid 40's today? Of course, you have to remember that on Wednesday we topped out at 81! Our average high this time of year in southern Indiana is about 60 degrees which is where we are suppose to be by Monday. Guess I won't complain TOO much!

By the way, If I had to give up ALL chocolate you might as well go ahead and dig my grave because I wouldn't last with no chocolate. I am down to one of the Hershey mini size a day but I don't know if I could do less!

My apt isn't that big... but a good chunk of the living room is dedicated to exercise equipment. Tonight after working on that mammoth spreadsheet for a bit, I have to clean out a year's worth of stuff that has landed around the old treadmill, move it out of the way to make way for the new treadmill which is to be delivered between 8 and 10 tomorrow morning! (Let's see if they make it on time with all the snow.) And DS is over at a friend's house for the evening. Wish me luck!

I need some virtual cookies. You know, the ones with no calories. I was soooo good today! I even had M&Ms in my hand and didn't eat them. But the aroma almost made me swoon. I'm determined to start losing weight again (I think the drugs I'm getting are not helping at all when it comes to my weight loss efforts. :( Oh well, as long as they kill the :thedolls: ).

The treadmill arrived bright and early at 8:15! :D They set it up (thank goodness) and then I inaugurated it! :walk: It's a real beauty and has a little TV screen (I have to figure out how to hook up a portable DVD player to it so that I can watch those Long Way Round DVDs while exercising). I love it! But just a bit later I got the chills and went to bed... woke up with a 100 degree temp. I knew to expect temperatures and am to call the docs when it reaches 101. Luckily it didn't go there, and my mantra yesterday and today was "I will be just fine." In a perverse way, I'm glad to have gotten the fever... shows that the drugs are doing their thing!

We're all for the drugs killing the :thedolls: ! I'm sure they aren't helping you with weight loss, but don't worry too much about that - just concentrate on getting healthy!
But isn't being a healthy weight part of being healthy? That's my conundrum... also, they have a hard time dosing me properly at this tonnage.

Or you perhaps you can come over to my house and shovel the 6 inches of ice we received. That will be great exercise. Interested?
Gee, Alex, I'm so sorry that I didn't read this until today. (Not!)

Christine, yes, we do seem to be leaving the room later and later each day! I can't wait to read about your visit to Celebration though!

I need ideas for dinner tonight. We're having chicken, oven baked fries and veggies for lunch (a friend just came over and took DS out to go sledding :sled: ). I figure the least I can do is feed her and her DS a home-cooked meal. Anyone else want to come over?

Love all the stuff you have gotten so far. Can you find me anything Koda or Chip & Dale? I love those guys!!!!!!

nary a clue on that one sorry.

I tried that chicken dish on the weekend by the way. Quite good. Do you up the spices in the potatoes? They were good but I really didn't get a onion/mace/bay leaves flavour.

Tried the guiness cake as well. It was really good. DH loved it.

Mickey'sGirl

03-19-2007, 01:06 PM

Because their horns don't work!

I put in about 5 fresh bayleaves, doubled the cloves and peppered the potatoes when I put them in the baking pan. I still think they needed some more oomph. Dunno what though....

The orange/chocolate cake was a huge hit -- I'll make it again.... Actually recipes were requested for all parts of the dinner (a real compliment, as one couple is really gourmet!) How did your dinner go?

What goes Oom Oom?

Maybe mace is stronger then the stuff we have here? I was going to increase that a tinch. I had used 4 bay leaves already. Maybe more onion?

The dinner went very well. And we went mini golfing on the Sunday as well. Forgot to mention I used a pink golf ball in your honour Alex. (and scored a hole in one!)

So I'm debating some new shoes. (Peeptoe of course Alex). Do I go with a practical neutral or should I splure on the candy apple red? I'm thinking the red would look to I dunno something unless I'm wearing white which I don't wear a ton of.

However the taupe kind looked good. I already have black ones. Maybe look for a nice blue pair?

Scott this surprises you how? I mean I already have hot pink (ok heels not with the peektoe thing), orange, red, and blue and green. Checking out my shoes is quite the custom with my clients trust me. Heck my old team gave me a gift card to a shoe store when I left. And my old boss was constantly amazed at where I would go in my shoes. (apparently she didn't envision two inch open toe dress sandals on a gravel pit...it's ok the client was so used to it they hardly even noticed anymore)

Hmmm.. does Euan have the legal right to work within the USA? If not, well, Ken, you better hope immigration doesn't find out. (do you think they read this board?) And paying him in just stickers and bananas? There has to be some type of employee legal mumbo jumbo that protects poor Euan from being used like that. It's one thing for Alex to work for cookies, but to make a little boy work for just stickers and bananas.. doesn't that seem wrong to anyone else? :D Maybe we need to call in Drummerboy's Discount Employee Protection Services.

I would say you could get workers comp for Sunburn - IF it happened during a work thingy and IF you seek treatment. If you burn that easily you need to call Hawaian Tropics and order their "lifeguard special' sunscreen. It's only a SPF 8, but I burn wearing a SPF 40 but when I wear this one - I stay burn free- and I've even worn it out on the water while boating (usually a big no no for me) It's only available via a phone call to them - or at a few places in Florida. I ordered a bottle before my Disney trip and they shipped it right out to me!

Are you insinuating that it's time for us to leave? (Gee, these Texas girls sure do stick together. ;) ) We're not done with the redecorating yet, or the cookies! Someone please find the phone book so we can find the Merry Maids!

I once went to an outdoor event when living in Central America and was watching for my DH to fly overhead in military formation... I got the nastiest sunburn on my face. Unfortunately, the next day I had to translate on national TV for a high level cabinet official. This gringa was as red as a lobster and my eyes were almost swollen shut! Nice look for a high profile gig. :blush:

Well, I might be the last one in for the night (except for our resident night owl, Christine). Should I leave some cookies and hot cocoa out for her? I put up a pot of coffee to brew for the morning crowd. :coffee: Could someone stop by the Main Street Bake Shop and pick us up some goodies?

I have already raised two to adulthood and am working on the third, so the answer in one word would be YES!!! Seriously though, when dealing with children between say about 10 and 21 years of age you really have to be ready to react in any way at any time. Do other parents find it to be the same for them?

They looked nice in those high heels!

Here's a nice cup of joe :coffee:
Coffee is always welcome!! My feet are mostly ok although my baby toenail is for some reason tinier then it should be that's ok as it's mostly hidden in a shoe anyway and beats being all flat or something. And of course you can share some of the float. I can never eat a whole one anyway!!

Jasper, Alex, Ellen...I'm packing tonight, so take a peek in my suitcase (http://good-times.webshots.com/album/558162885xxvwEF) before I sit on them to get them all closed.

Do I really have to go home Wednesday???
Christine I'm not ready to have you go home. Your trip reports are fantastic!!!

Hopefully you'll be going back real soon!

Is anyone going before Jenn or do we have to wait for April?

:So this morning as I was crating Tate, and Harry was putting on his boots -- Euan decided to try and open the steel door to the garage -- you know the one with the shock.... that is right at the top of the basement stairs? Guess what happened next? Thank goodness for Winter Outerwear is all I have to say. No broken bones!

Oh my! That must have been pretty scary. And I thought William telling his French teacher he didn't have a pencil case (instead of you know bringing it allllllll the way from one class to the other cause it soooooooooo heavy) apparently for months was bad. (and why do they wait until the last moment to tell you this stuff? Is there a class they take Ellen?) Is there a class we can take or just :marg: ?

Chicken shoestrings? What on earth is that? Is it like chicken fingers but skinnier or something?

And hey Di did you notice Scott didn't come back? I hope he's at Timmies and not in that stretcher!!

Yeah, it's a very skinny chicken finger... they are listed as Chicken Shoestrings in our data base.

Poor poor Scott, all he was trying to do was help get pizza for all of us to share... think we should send him flowers? Or maybe some cookies? ;)

Ever wondered why chickens get so many weird things made out of them? I mean we don't have beef fingers do we now.

I think the flowers since it's spring and all.

Jenn should be along soon since it's Wed. today. Hope Christine is having a safe trip home today. Can't wait to hear about her just her time. That would be soo cool.

And Di what exactly are the smokies and why do you need to go their with DH and grandma while Deb is having an operation?

Whew, that was close! I barely was able to get out of the way when the stampede happened. Sorry 'bout that. I didn't think ahead.
Natalie, I dropped your double double in the confusion. I don't think you really want it back.

Now, where's that pizza?

Oh Scott! I'm soooo glad you are ok! :hug: You gave us quite a fright! Unfortunately I was only able to grab one box of pizza (the guys carried the other boxes with them as they rushed you for the cookies) But here's your slice :pizza:

Anyone got a cold coke for Scott?

Scott you dropped a Timmies in rollup the rim to win season? :blowup: :angry: :nope: :crying: :funny: Do you know what you have done? Huh Huh do ya??

You could have one a plasma TV, a hybrid car, free coffee, free donuts, and worst of all you might have thrown away a COOKIE!!

Never ever ever ever do that again. Those are priceless little bits of cardboard my friend!

(on and clearly since this was virtual coffee, this is non real anger of course...but you did give me a great way to vent some of my frustration with my day and I now feel 100% better thanks so much Scott!!)

You can buy cookies?

Actually there are beef fingers - they are in our frozen food section (processed - that might be why you weren't aware they are out there ;) )

The Smokies are short for "The Great Smoky Mountain National Park". It's a National Park located in Tennessee. Dh's grandma wants to go visit a friend of hers and she is too old to drive the distance by herself. So dh and I are driving her to her friend's house (5 LOOOONNNNGGGG hours in the car) then zipping over to Gatlinburg for a couple nights, then going back to pick her up and driving the loooooooonnnnnggggg 5 hours home with her. Unfortunately we had already set the date and booked the hotel (prepaying one night on the room) before we knew Deb was having surgery.

Did I get a question in up there?

:hi: bonjour mes amis! How goes it? Nice to see you Jasper and Alex!! Deb -- I hope you are enjoying your day off! I had another terrific morning with the shorter members of my community. It was Harry's teacher's birthday today, and the kindergarten class came upstairs and brought him pictures and some TimBits. He was soooooo embarrassed! It was also picture day for Euan -- when I picked him up he had a fruit punch moustache (He's looking more and more like his dad every day!) -- I just hope it was obtained AFTER the solo shot was taken --- I am pretty sure he was post pubescent for the class photo :D

:hi: Jenn! If it's a zero coke that means there's no coke so will it still quench my thirst? And I really need something to quench my thirst. This leftover chili for lunch is go-o-o-od! But making me breathe fire!

Sounds like a fun day at school! Now why would a fruit punch moustache make Euan look like Brian? Haha!

The teacher or Harry? And that's funny about the pictures. They just don't work for us either.

Well I guess that would do it wouldn't it? Imagine the culinary adventures I'm missing out on eh? Like say cheese fries with cheese whiz or something similiar. Drat! Wait till DS goes to college and finds out not everyone eats the way we do..want to bet he becomes a junk food addict freshman year?

That's a very long drive with Grandma. I guess you won't be here and Deb won't be here...and Jasper is limited to the stuff he can sneak by his DD. Going to get pretty quiet around here. Do you think Frankie might come back from his secret missions to keep us company?

Maybe if we get him to teach us how to make gumbo?

As opposed to unfrozen ice cream? Would that not just be custard then?

Do I need to call the fire department to come & save your office? Or, can we just grab some burgers & grill them? (hmm..charbroil them)

I will try to visit when I can since I won't have my "loving"sis here to entertain me. :pout: I won't be able to talk so this will be next best thing, right? Frankie is still off trying to kidnap Orlando Bloom for me. SHHHHH...no one is supposed to know.:cool:

Everyone make sure you duck anytime Scott breathes or speaks! Hmmmm... do we even have a fire extinguisher on this thread? Or a sprinkler system? Are we up to code?

I do have Cinnamon ice Cream in my freezer - it's actually "Fried Ice Cream" - so it's a cinnamon ice cream with fried tortillas and caramel in it! YUMM!!!

Or chili cheese fries! Mighty tasty stuff you are missing! Maybe you need to come south for a visit and we can introduce your palate to some mighty pleasing grub! :D

Not to worry. DDPS (Drummerboy Discount Protective Services--Motto: They're all out to get you, get protected now'!) is on the job. All the sprinkler systems are set up and I personally gave Scott and Alex the task of hooking up to the water supply.

Ah drat! I was gonna zap you for not putting in your question. I hit "qoute" and when it popped up on my reply box - your 'added' question appeared with it. Guess you lucked out this time! Um... can you make sure you mark which is the water supply and which is the gas supply? Or else you will have need of DDFD (Drummerboy's Discount Fire Dept - motto "Not quite your city's official fire department, but since we ride bikes instead of fire engines and hook up to your neighbor's water faucet - we cost much less")

I'm pretty sure no. However perhaps one gets points for speaking in dialogue? however I'm not sure if you meant "to" or "ought" but either way my typos look like them might be catching!!

And Scott gum perhaps?

Deb hanging out here could be just the thing! And Di is loving..if your blue and kind furry and pretty fiesty. Is your hair blue right now? (hey that might explain the whole grandma thing too right?)

See clearly Ken needs the cookies. And his DW needs some flowers or something since Ken hasn't been to a grocery store since year one.

See they keep them in these aisle things...all kinds, lots and lots of them. And you give them "money" at the front of the store and you get to keep the cookies.

You mean there really isn't a cookie fairy who leaves them in the office break room every day?:(

I suspect the only way to find out would be to have your office staff win a jumbo powerball. If they don't come in and the cookies do get replace you'll have a cookie fairy. If not well I think you can see where this is going.

On the other hand this is yet another business idea. DDCF! Alex can be your first (and I think only) client.

Just contact me to set up your low initial starting interest rate. Did I tell you our rate calc program had a glitch yesterday? It was setting rates at 122% per annum. I almost died laughing trying to explain it to the dept. in charge of it. Then they started laughing when it kept doing it, because of course there isn't anyone going to sign anything for that rate my friend. At least I hope not!
