Buckeye Babe is correct, she's been golfing, I've been swinging....at air, the ground, just about anything but the ball. :blush:
I can't believe they leave on the 17th for South Carolina for their golf school trip.

How many pillows does it take to stop a snoring problem? more then I own.

On whose head? :D

Depends - are they the light fluffy pillows or the thick hard pillows?

I've found that a swift 'accidental' kick in the side stops snoring in it's tracks! :D
Also good is a little pinch by the way.

Either the goat ate them or the monkey has hidden them in the same place he hid the rum. Anyone wanna check and see if the goat has question breath?
Alex where are you? We have a job for you! Is Christine already camping? Where'd she go.

Oh and Ken in response to your wake up call..I was at a breakfast meeting with Lawyers. (ok and some accountants and clearly those banker people) so I was awake technically..and then they talked..and then there was coffee and then I came here and there were more lawyers. Are you guys ever happy about anything??? Maybe they need ponytails. Mind you we did have an accountant with a mullet and tubesocks. A fashion faux pas indeed.

Jeepers... I'm gone for only 12 hours... you guys are hard to catch up with!!

All right everybody, wake up! What are all you slug-a-beds doing? We've got posts to make, people to dub, ships to sail, and food to eat.

Come on, move it, move, move it...
Hey now... I was up (and none too happy about it) at 6:30 this morning... NOT a morning person at all...

Are you kidding me? Do you even know what kind of a morning person you're messing with? I don't do mornings!

Wait til October at the meet...you'll see, I'll be the one that doesn't do anything before 2pm, but will be fussing with everyone who wants to call it quits by 2 am! :D
I'm right there with you, Christine... must be why I enjoy my job so much. I had a bumper sticker on my bed in college that said "I may rise, but I REFUSE to shine!" :D My DH is the opposite... quite happy to turn the light out at 10 and get up at 5:30 or 6am. Ugh. How we've made it all these years without killing each other is a miracle... maybe it's my job... ;)

Just jumping in blind here. Have I missed much?

I have been busy. had a friend come visit for last few days and have been shopping and having a lot of fun.
Sure, sure... friends stop by and we're just pushed aside... who would want to shop and have some fun over sitting and typing all day??? :D
Glad you're back online... :)

So with all the "BB" names, if we call somebody BB to shorten it up, how will we know who we're talking to?

Well, I guess we'll have to resort to "BB1" and "BB2" and "BB3" and so on and so forth... although I believe someone already laid official claim to the "BB" nickname.. maybe Blythe?

Blythe already has a B in her regular name, so would that make her a BBB?
Yup... that'd be me... well, "BB" at least... "BBB" gets a little tongue-tied'ish...

Anyone ever try an Iced Cap? I am undecided.... but I think I like my coffee the same way I like my men... hot.
:rotfl: :funny: Hmmm... what does that say about me?? I loved Iced Cap's...

How was everyone's day? We had a great time at Julia's picnic... we went on a nature hike, took out paddle boats, played games and swam in the pool... and had BBQ for lunch. We also got to celebrate her b'day, since she's an August baby and they're not in school yet then... she had a great time, and it was a fun day. But, I'm tired now - and I'm off to work tonight!! :( Time for some serious coffee...

Anyone going to be around later??

Why are you shouting ??? I have been up for all of two hours. Secret Agent :spy: business takes place at night.

Have you heard Paris is out and at home ??? All my work paid off. Did you see my interview ??? It didn't look like me because of the :spy: costume.

Is Christine already camping? Where'd she go.

Shhhhh! I'm hiding! :hide2: I don't want the church to find me and make me go! :covered:

How could I get dismissed from this? I was thinking about going to the planning meeting Sunday afternoon and announcing that I volunteer to bring the :beer:!

I had a bumper sticker on my bed in college that said "I may rise, but I REFUSE to shine!"

I LOVE that! I need to have that made into a shirt!

Indeed! the mullet or the tubesocks, but not both together.

Next time you get a room full of lawyers like that, look out the window and say "Oh look, an accident" and see how fast they race through the door.

you could say, "Is this the trip where we do the snake handling? Can I bring my rattlers? I have enough to go around."

Oooo, I like that! Or maybe I could just tell them I know "people" :spy: (whadda ya say, Frankie? You up for a little intimidation work???) FRANKIE! Get your head out of that root :beer: float and listen to me!!

All is well here in JQ land on the night watch... the monkey is sleeping, the goat is watching guard over the rum... or is the goat sleeping, and the monkey is watching guard...??? Okay - it's late... I'm getting a little confused... and no, I'm not into the rum... :D

We also got to celebrate her b'day, since she's an August baby and they're not in school yet then... she had a great time, and it was a fun day.

Sounds like you had a wonderful day with Julia! I haven't paddle boated for a long time! Used to LOVE it! Hey Ken! Are there any paddle boats stashed on the Pearl for us?

When the snorer is face up....HIS

When the snoree needs relief .....around her ears!

Am I going to be charged with being sexist?

Nope - as long as you get a female judge you'll get off scott free! :D

Have you heard Paris is out and at home ??? All my work paid off.

Have you heard she's been called back to court.... I guess you'll be going back to work for her...

How could I get dismissed from this? I was thinking about going to the planning meeting Sunday afternoon and announcing that I volunteer to bring the :beer:!

Or, you could take in a picture of Ken dressed in his leiderhausen sitting behind his drum :drummer: and tell them you found the entertainment for the night! :D

A little hint: Sonic Drive-In is serving free Root Floats. I may need medical attention around 9:45.

Man! I forgot about this also! That float would've tasted yummy with a serving of their Tater tots covered with chili! So, how many did you drink?

Next time you get a room full of lawyers like that, look out the window and say "Oh look, an accident" and see how fast they race through the door.

:rotfl: I guess this is along the lines of telling the cop who pulled you over "Hey - look, that store over there is offering free donuts".. and seeing how fast he decides you don't need a ticket after all and leaves you alone.

Mmm!! Sounds good!! About the medical attention... unless you're having a baby, I'm sorry, but I wasn't schooled in "rootbeer float overload."
Anybody know the cure for that??

Depends.. does the patient also have a brain freeze from the ice cream?

I thought it was just regular VBS at the church! But I won't give up hope...I still have some other things left....hmmm, maybe my appendix could start acting up and then I can be excused!

Let's see - appendix? Yep, that would be a good excuse... you still have your heart - that's always a sure fire way out of something... Kidney? you could claim kidney infection or kidney stones... how about allergies? THAT would be a REAL good excuse for not being outside!!!!

What is with all this talk about the girls smothering their husbands with pillows? When did ya'll get this violent?:confused:

When we started losing sleep due to snoring husbands?

Hi everybody!! Just thought I'd try Ken's trick... did anyone wake up?? Or even just roll over in their sleep??

Hmmmm... and I thought I was just dreaming that someone shouted out hi....

Sorry Banker Babe, I have too many jobs already. Do you think it is easy to be second-to-head bottle washer?

Probably not as easy as your job being Head Bottle Emptier... :D

I wish it would work, very few of the ones I get the pleasure of working with do court work or accident work. Estate, Real Estate, Corp. FUN FUN FUN let me tell you. Maybe if yelled "look a sale sign"? Or a shareholder dispute? Can you see a shareholder dispute? A estate freeze evaluation? (cause that would get the mullet and the lawyer no?) HMM this could have possibilites. Would look there goes Paris Hilton work?

Bert's Babe, could you say "where do I put the bear food?" Or where do we set up for high stakes poker game?

I'll do my best... anybody have some espresso they can send my way?? :mcoffee:

Did you find your expresso?

Sorry Banker Babe, I have too many jobs already. Do you think it is easy to be second-to-head bottle washer?
I suspect yes...since there's enough time left over for all your other activities

We are expecting SEVERE storms today.... high straightline winds and damaging hail... should be a fun afternoon!

But hey! Where are you? You asked about food samples yesterday.. well, we have some today.. and they must've known that someone from JQ was asking cause they are COOKIES!!!! That's right - we have Thaw and serve individually wrapped cookies in my office to sample. I have a 'tower' of them right now on my desk.. 4 different kinds.. Chocolate chip, Reese Pieces chips, Snickerdoodles and A cherry chocolate chip!!! YUM!!! The sales staff all have 1 of each kind in their mail boxes.. I've been asking the ones that live far away if they are coming in today and if not can I take their cookies (that is how I've acquired my beautiful and wonderful smelling leaning tower of cookies!)... so if you want some come quick! There's still a few salespeople I have not hit up!!

1. We had a couple, but the goat ate holes in 'em.

2. My gosh, are you trying to shut the whole church down?

Hmmm.. could duck tape fix holes that a goat made?

Oops, never thought about it that way.. guess we better forgo the whole picture idea.. would hate to cause the whole congregation to run screaming in horror from the church! :D

But hey! Where are you? You asked about food samples yesterday.. well, we have some today.. and they must've known that someone from JQ was asking cause they are COOKIES!!!! Just no nuts (peanuts, almonds and JQ Crew excepted). Man -- we're supposed to get TStorms later today too...but in the interim, it is a really beautiful day out. The kids have a PA day, so they are out by a friends pool, enjoying the weather...while their poor Mommy toils away at work..... What kind of justice is that?
You know that you can't use on ducts? You can't? We tape up all our ducts in the basement, to force the cooled or heated air (depends on the season you see...) upstairs. What do you use on Ducts then? Electrical tape? Packing Tape??? Gift wrap Tape?? Hockey Tape??? 8-Track Tape?? :confused:
I saw a cute T-shirt once with a picture of Donald Duck all tangled up in Duct Tape having a hissy fit -- It simply said "Duck Tape". I'm done. That was my last thought. :)

Are you taping the outlet themselves or the actual duct work? If it's on the metal part it should be foil tape. (duct tape is bad cause it's got fabric and is thus potentially combustiable).

If your just taping over the vents in the room I don't know.
My basement vents are all on my ceiling but we can close them all with a little switch thing. Maybe that's what you need? Do you really need it in your new place? I find the system in ours is pretty even so I don't need to redirect it at all. In fact it works better (clicks on and off less) if I don't monkey about with it much. Guess that will get the utilities goat no?

yes, the proper spelling is duct tape.. but many many threads back we had a discussion of ducks and having all our ducks in a row by using DUCK tape to tape them up... hmmm... guess it was a location joke.. guess you had to be there.. but I thought you were a part of this thread before I was so you were probably there...so maybe you were on a coffee break when we had that discussion... who know!
I would love to get that shirt for my dh. He was once helping my church set up a tent for a tent revival and cut his finger quite severely.. the pastor used DUCT tape to bandage him up! No joke!

So, did the increasing winds blow my question right out of my post?

We tape over the vents and close them. I have to offset the evil of my SUV!! :thedolls: We are very green in our consumption at home and make as many of the changes recommended by Suzuki as possible (that I can afford!!) -- so we tend to tape up, add ceiling fans, installed a programmable thermostat, compost, avoid pre-packaged goods, eat less meat, use fluorescent bulbs, have the Enerstar appliances (which run at night on timers), push mower etc etc etc.... Sorry... I don't mean to preach :soapbox: Our biggest issue with the new house is that we have to drive everywhere now. We used to walk but we are too far away from everything now (except the park) to do so! :(

What's on for the weekend? My neice is hanging with us tomorrow evening...so I'm looking forward to that! :princess:

Just checking in while I have a few minutes. I want to add my message of sympthy to Ellen.

Could you also all send a little pixie dust my way? My mother was put in the hospital two days ago with what appears to be congestive heart failure. I know that this is normally not immediately fatal, but for some reason they are having trouble getting the excess fluid to drain from around her heart. Instead of getting better, she is actually continuing to get worse. If they can't reverse this trend then it will be fatal in the next few weeks or less. Any Prayers you all can provide would be appreciated.

I will check in again when I can.

Jen, have fun with your niece. It will be nice to have a girl around with all those boys, huh? How old is she?

Our weekend should be kind of quiet. There's a Native American festival I'd like to go to but Ben thinks it'll be boring (sigh). And tomorrow night is the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, so I think we'll be heading over there. Otherwise, it will be watching movies and catching up for me (and figuring out what paper work I have to file).

My best friend's mother would experience the same exact thing in more than one of her episodes, but she managed to live a good life "between episodes" for many years, so it is possible!

I will be praying for her!

Wow! I just looked away from the computer monitor and my bedroom is completely dark! BIG storms are heading in...better go :hide2: with the dog!

UGH! We just went out for dinner at the Japanese Steakhouse, and it was not an enjoyable experience!

We had just finished soup, and were beginning to enjoy our salads, when the cook handed the children at the table an egg to throw on the grill. He explained to all of them to throw it gently and underhanded!

My DD threw one...fine, then another older girl...fine. Then came her bratty little brother! He throws it as hard as he can and it skids across the grill and crashes into John's plate, salad, and then onto his side and lap! There are egg whites sliding off the table onto his leg and shoes.

Get this! The boy just laughed his head off! Then his parents said (in a baby-talk voice) to him, "Honey, you threw it just a little too hard baby doll." That's it!

Poor John, he had to move to another seat, as his dishes were all soaked in raw egg. The parents never apologized, nor did they ask the little boy to! John was FUMING mad and so was I!

Here's my question: Would you have said something?

John didn't...he didn't want to make a fuss. But I think he should have! Even on the SLIM chance that it was an honest mistake, they still could have apologized for it having happened at all!

The more I think of it, the more I wanna put a hurtin' on that little maggot! :mad: A $60 meal, ruined by a 6 year old! :mad:

1. I always heard that dogs attract lightning. I'm sure that's just superstition though. :thedolls:

2. If women are crushing on Barbosa, maybe there's hope for me yet.

1. I'm sorry, did you just call me a DOG????

2. Not if you call them DOGS!!!

Hi all! Thought I'd report back for duty now that we're back in NY and I've had treatment (that glowing you see off in the distance is radioactive me ;) ).
Great to see you all again!
Ellen, I'm so glad you're back, safe & sound! (Even if you're glowing... hope your treatment went well... :))
I'm so sorry you had to go through the last few days - we've been thinking of you, and sending prayers your way. How is Ben?

Blythe, I am so glad you get to see POTC 3 tomorrow night! After you see it, tell me if I'm wrong to be crushing on Barbosa like I am, okay?
I'll be sure to stop by after we get home tomorrow night - I'm very curious about this whole new aspect of the movie now!! I can't wait!! (did I mention that?? :blush:)

2. If women are crushing on Barbosa, maybe there's hope for me yet.

Christine, I am SO sorry your dinner was ruined!! That is awful... I have seen so many situations like that, when parents actually think their kids are cute when something like that happens. :confused:
As far as would my DH have said anything? Probably not, although I'm sure he would have wanted to - but then again, maybe he would have, something along the lines of, "You know, your son could at least apologize... " But, we always seem to think of what we want to say (or wish we had said) after the fact. :(

1. I'm sorry, did you just call me a DOG????

I believe he was probably just mentioning the fact that hiding under the chair with your dog might be ill-advised... are you still under there?? :D We've got some nasty t'storms going on outside right now, too...

Well, I'm back at work... yawn... but not as tired as yesterday, as I got a decent sleep today. How's everyone else doing???

What about sugar free ice cream with diet Root Beer?

Well, that's better than a real one, but there are still carbs in the sugar free ice cream (from the milk). Thanks for trying though.

Could you also all send a little pixie dust my way? My mother was put in the hospital two days ago with what appears to be congestive heart failure. I know that this is normally not immediately fatal, but for some reason they are having trouble getting the excess fluid to drain from around her heart. Instead of getting better, she is actually continuing to get worse. If they can't reverse this trend then it will be fatal in the next few weeks or less. Any Prayers you all can provide would be appreciated.

I will check in again when I can.

Lots of :pixie: on the way to your mom! Please let us know how she is when you get a chance.

Something wrong here - your guys wake up calls are coming in at times that would be reasonable where I am! I'm with Rhonda - they should be go to sleep calls! :D

Welcome back Ellen! :hug:

Today I have a tennis match and tomorrow I am going to visit my aunt for lunch. I have also discovered this week that instead of helping someone else with a 'garden party' event it is now going to be at my place and be a decking party by the river! The things we do to help rebuild our church roof! Do you guys have '100 clubs' over there were folks pay in so much and then there is a draw each month/quarter where some of the money is paid out as prizes but the rest goes to the good cause? We are trying one for the first time this year and it seems quite successful.

Jasper - hope your mother improves and the treatment starts working better.

Christine - maybe John should have just asked the family for their address so he could send the cleaning bill to them? That might make them think twice about letting their little angel go crazy in future. :thedolls:

I'd love to go see Johnny today to celebrate his bday. I know Ben wants to see Surf's Up, so maybe we'll sneak into PoTC afterwards to wish Johnny a happy bday. :blush:

I'm making Mickey pancakes for breakfast today and could be convinced to make Mickey waffles as well... a good cup of :coffee: would serve as nice bribe. Who wants want? Chocolate chips or blueberries? Reduced calorie, sugar free or regular syrup?

Good morning, all... [whispering to be quiet for all of us non-morning folk...]

I'm off to bed after what turned into a busy night around 5 am... hung 4 units of blood on a postpartum gal of mine, then did an emergency C-section on a woman who was on our ante-partum floor, 31 weeks pregnant and suddenly ruptured, dilated fully and was breech with toes peeking at us. Yipes!!

Hopefully, I'll be able to settle and sleep... it's always a little harder after the adrenaline gets going!!

What's everyone up to today? (Besides wondering what the heck is up with the weather... Thurs., it was 73... yesterday it was 95... today it's very cool now and only supposed to be 72 or 73!! Crazy!)

Weather here looks like it's clearing after a cloudy morning. I will be spending the morning watching my DS play baseball. I must say he is absolutely adorable in that uniform! Can you tell that I am partial?:D
Probably heading to the pool this afternoon--hope to get some sun and some reading in.

Ellen, glad to see you back!:hug:

Jasper, prayers and pixie dust going out to your mom.:pixie:
Lynne, Happy Birthday to your boys!:party:
So, I hear we're having a party.
Has anybody found the monkey (and the rum)? If not, I have some tequilla left over from last night's soire. Will that do?:marg:

Blythe, that sounds like a scary night! Hope the waffles are lulling you to sleep right now. :cloud9:

Maria, I'd gladly take some of that tequila later this afternoon. It's supposed to be warm today here so a :marg: would be lovely in theory.

I think my question might be hiding with the rum. Has anyone seen it?

Alright, alright....I am up!

Today is raining badly. We get to go play soccer it in. Yay! The we come back to celebrate with family since they had their party last weekend.

Yesterday my boys were in a quadratholon and they came 1st and 2nd in the long distance portion. They ran a mile in 5min 40sec for Scott and 5min 44sec for Adam.

If women are crushing on Barbosa, maybe there's hope for me yet.
I, actually, was crushing on Bootstrap Bill (post transformation). And he even had a ponytail.

The boy just laughed his head off! Then his parents said (in a baby-talk voice) to him, "Honey, you threw it just a little too hard baby doll." That's it!

Poor John, he had to move to another seat, as his dishes were all soaked in raw egg. The parents never apologized, nor did they ask the little boy to! John was FUMING mad and so was I!

Here's my question: Would you have said something?

John didn't...he didn't want to make a fuss. But I think he should have! Even on the SLIM chance that it was an honest mistake, they still could have apologized for it having happened at all!
The parents really needed to apologize for the actions of their son. I don't know if I would have said something either, but right is right. Apparently neither they don't have manners, nor are they teaching their child any.

I have also discovered this week that instead of helping someone else with a 'garden party' event it is now going to be at my place and be a decking party by the river! The things we do to help rebuild our church roof!

Good luck with the party. When is it? Are we invited? We'd look cute all dressed up in maid's costumes, don't you think?

How old is DS? Your DD is 11, right? We seem to have a healthy crop of 11-12 year olds around here.

And that was sunning and sunscreen, right? (Sorry, I'll take off the nagging mom hat now. :blush: )

Was that chocolate chips or blueberries in the coffee or on the waffles?

Like your new avatar. Is that from VMK? Looks like the ship in the Fantasyland shop section.

If Mods are clever enough they can change their avatars - one of the perks!
What she said! I was up late last night/early this morning because of the steroids they give me as part of my pre-meds. I've been wanting to change my avatar for a while so I went through a gazillion pictures and finally edited it down to size. Glad to hear you like it! :D

Ben's decided that he wants to stay in today (he slept in until quite late as well). In some respects, he is so much like his dad. Me... I'd rather be outside running around. If I can get him out, we'll head over to the Relay for Life later.

Ellen,
DS is 8 and quite a character!:D He had a great time at his game today. It was the final game and they played on the big field, had their names announced overhead and won by a shutout.:team:

The sunning is typically with sunscreen on my face, but I am not so diligent with sunscreening my body, I must admit.
Are you going to warn me about skin cancer? Too late, my mother beat you to it. Clearly, I am living on the edge. I know it sounds blase, but I think there are just too many things to worry about. As a professional worrier, I just try to keep the worrying in check.
They are having a Relay for Life around the corner from my house at the local high school. There are so many participants every year. It is amazing!

So, JQ crew, any interesting Sunday plans?

I am worn out from the garage sale this morning...but I made $271.00!!! Not too shabby!! I have been able to pay my surgical bill down to HALF so far! Then I can focus on Disney money!!! :woohoo:

Anyone else watching "Grease" on VH-1??? Ahhhhh, now that's MY style of a High School Musical!!! :cloud9:

$271 is not a bad return for cleaning out the garage!
You and John sound so busy. Do you guys have any downtime!?

After pruning tomorrow, we've got to make another trip to my dad's house to deliver a small fridge to him as he's moving in the Masonic home next Thursday. My sister wants us to take the fridge over (even though the Masonic home is closer to us) because they'll move his stuff for him, and that will be better than us moving the fridge there next weekend. :confused:

Are you going to share if you bake them??

Ranger Cookies:

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter or shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 cups corn flakes
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
confectioners' sugar as needed

PREPARATION:
Cream together the butter and both sugars. Blend in the eggs. Into a separate container, sift together the flour, baking soda and baking powder then add to the creamed mixture, blending well. Mix in the vanilla; stir in the rolled oats, corn flakes, coconut, chocolate chips and pecans.

Form mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll in powdered sugar. Press down with a fork on greased baking sheets. Bake in a 350° oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
Makes about 5 dozen chocolate chip ranger cookies.

Well, I've got to try to get the theme music from POTC out of my head and settle for bed... maybe a little :wine: will help. I swear, every time we watch a POTC movie, I hear the music for days!! Does that happen to anyone else?? Not that I'm complaining....:D

Blythe, so am I right in thinking you liked the movie? :pirate:

You and John sound so busy. Do you guys have any downtime!?
:rotfl: Asked of the woman who posted trip reports at 2:00 am!

Holy guacamole, Batman! Am I ever tired! I spent about 5 hours this morning trimming trees and bushes and then stacking them up and/or loading them in hubby's truck. And, I'm not even done! Anyone want to come over in the morning to finish up with me?

After pruning tomorrow, we've got to make another trip to my dad's house to deliver a small fridge to him as he's moving in the Masonic home next Thursday. My sister wants us to take the fridge over (even though the Masonic home is closer to us) because they'll move his stuff for him, and that will be better than us moving the fridge there next weekend. :confused:

Beyond that, I have no idea what our plans are for tomorrow. :whew:
You need more plans than what you already have? Wow... you ARE good. Glad to hear that your father's living situation has worked out. I'm sure that's taken some of the worry you were having, off your shoulders. Best wishes for a smooth transition for him.

Who's making those cookies? They sound delish:tasty:
Welcome, Tinktude! You already have figured out to ask a question, but we must tell you that you're in charge of the cookies when you join our merry band of questioners.

ISorry, I can't do wake up calls tomorow. The grandbabies are asleep right behind me and DW would wring my neck if I woke them.
How are those grandbabies, btw?

My plans for today are to catch up on sleep (woke up after only 4 hours... must sleep more), plan our meals for the week, sort through a huge stack of papers in order to start the work week off right, laundry, and at some point, get outside to enjoy the nice weather. Oh, and I'd like to hang new curtains in DS's bedroom and the kitchen. Anyone tall around to help me get those curtains hung?

Weather here looks like it's clearing after a cloudy morning. Did you have that crazy weather on Friday afternoon Maria? It was wild for about 15 minutes here -- power went out and everything...but then it was fine.... Summer

For today it is Jolly Rogers for Pirate Party day! Arrrrrrrrrr!Happy belated birthdays and congratulations to Adam and Scott, Lynne!:party:

Did somebody say cookies?I baked cookies last night Alex. Harry's Chocolate Chip....and there are plenty to share....and they are really good with a scoop of Mint Chip. Interested?

Anyone tall around to help me get those curtains hung?That would be me! :here: :hi: No ladders or chairs required baby (unless you have 9' ceilings of course!)!! I am so glad to see you Ellen. I hope that things become normal again for you and Ben soon... :hug:

Only 3 hours! Darn! I won't have even finished in Pottery Barn Kids by that time!

But holy cow - is Orlando not STUNNING in this movie? I've always liked him, but... :blush:... wow!

I've never been much of an Orlando Bloom fan before, but I will say this after seeing POTC 3---the boy knows how to wear a bandana! I didn't pay him much mind throughout the entire film, then BOOM! At the end, captain of the Flying Dutchman, my goodness!

How was everyone's Sunday? Ours was busier than I'd hoped... I just got home a little while ago, and I have quite a list of things to do I'd hoped to get done earlier. We had unexpected calling hours to go to for a friend's father this afternoon, and the line was over an hour long - and that didn't include stopping to chat with all the people we hadn't seen in ages!

Trick question, right ???

"Q" would know that I am left handed.

Good try though. A double secret agent has to be on his toes at all times. :spy:

But the last time I used the left handed one, it left the taste of four day old anchovy pizza in my mouth for six months. The only thing that would kill the taste was, you guessed it, a large Root :beer: Float.

The other grandyoung'un and DW have been gone for quite a while trying to get him some medical attention. DW thinks he probably came here with a sinus infection that's turned worse. Stay tuned...

Anybody got some spare ice cream? We haven't got a bit of it in the house. Mint choc. chip (Breyers) would be ideal.

DW got home with grandson just before midnight. Seems there was a four-car pileup soumewhere out in the county so they had to wait for all that triage. Good thing she went--he had all kinds of sinus problems and they were even affecting his eyes. He's got some medication now and is already feeling better.

Yes, and the fuzzy thing used to be a live fuzzy thing until the vipers got them.

No the brownies all went at the party..but I can make more. Brownies are soo easy.

A kitten heel is a heel that is shaped at both ends. So a spike or stilletto tapers down to a narrow point right? A kitten heel tapers then widens again at the bottom. Generally a kitten heel will also be less then two inches or so as well. Most common on a mule style shoe (ie a slip on).

Not to be confused with a wedge which is attached along the sole. A platform of course means it's raised on the whole sole not just at the heel.

Your all good on open toe. Are there any other questions on shoe design? I've been saving some mighty cute ones for our Sept. trip.

Hi all! Did everyone have a good weekend?

I had a rather uneventful weekend which in this case was a good thing. I spent most of the weekend sitting at the hospital keeping my mother company. Naturally, they didn't do any tests or anything over the weekend so we just sat there talking, reading, and watching television. We got so bored that at one point we started a game guessing if the next staff person to come through the door would be a male or female. Can you say BORED!!! Needless to say, Mom feels and looks like a pincushion by now with all the times they have taken blood.

She is in having a heart cathertization done right now so we should have some more news later today on just what is wrong with her heart. Please keep my mother in your prayers and keep sending pixie dust her way!!

Are we still having brownies?

And why does it have to be freezing in the office when it's 80 outside?
Of course you can have some Scott...and apparently it's a law to be frozen at work in warm weather. Have you tried asking to have it raised on the basis of it being good for the environment? We have one half normal and one half artic here as one of my co-workers is not good with heat and keeps his half of the office (he's on one wall the rest of us are on the oustide) at least 3 degrees celius colder.

Hi all! Did everyone have a good weekend?

Hi, Erin! :wave: See Grandpa's pony tail? If you tug on it, he'll smile and kiss you! Really!

I had a pretty good day at work today. I have been offered 2 new jobs so things are looking up for me. I guess I won't have to cancel my Cruise now!! I have also applied for another job and will find out this week. So I may have 3 to choose from! Pixie dust works. :D
Well, someone around there apparently knows quality! :thumbsup: And, yes, pixie dust most definitely does work! :yes:

Well, last night I was asked to throw a baby shower for my sister in law for all the odds and ends who don't fit into the different family showers. Sooooooooo.... I guess I am planning a shower. I am such a sucker.
Didn't you just throw a family party? You should start charging! ;)

I had a rather uneventful weekend which in this case was a good thing. I spent most of the weekend sitting at the hospital keeping my mother company. Naturally, they didn't do any tests or anything over the weekend so we just sat there talking, reading, and watching television. We got so bored that at one point we started a game guessing if the next staff person to come through the door would be a male or female. Can you say BORED!!! Needless to say, Mom feels and looks like a pincushion by now with all the times they have taken blood.

She is in having a heart cathertization done right now so we should have some more news later today on just what is wrong with her heart. Please keep my mother in your prayers and keep sending pixie dust her way!!
She continues to be in our prayers and :pixie: is on its way. And being bored in the hospital is the best way to be! You really don't want excitement, do you?

How is everyone else? I need some sleep but otherwise I'm doing okay. (Will someone do a Timmie's or Starbucks run, please?) Didn't get that huge list done yesterday and Ben didn't want to leave the house all weekend.

Back to work with me! Later!

I'm still around to help with your curtains if you want Ellen. ;)

Can I get a coffee if anyone is going out? NO SWEETENER please...just a little cream and some regular sugar.

My office is cold. I have asked the guy to come up and adjust my thermostat, but I am getting the brush off. It's like a wind tunnel coming down from the fixtures up above....

I hate that "call the guy" routine. To make mine sillier, I call the 1-800 then they call the "landlord" who's around the corner from me and who I know of course (since I finance commercial real estate after a while you meet everyone who owns it regardless of who they deal with), and then they send someone over. How's that for reduntant? And how did I miss the baby shower thing? Is this for the same BIL?? I sure hope not.

Is it a picture of the volcano in Mexico? The one you can see from the San Angel Inn?

Hi, Erin! :wave: See Grandpa's pony tail? If you tug on it, he'll smile and kiss you! Really!

What about some green tea? Or some of the POM ones with antioxcidents in it? I love those but they are so pricey. Do you think if I made my own green tea iced tea it would work the same?

The ponytail thing doesn't work on my stepdad for the grandkids..do you think Ken handles it better?

And good guess! What about something from the mural at the CR? or perhaps a scene from Ellen's energy adventure?

Jasper

06-11-2007, 03:12 PM

why does it have to be freezing in the office when it's 80 outside?

If you don't like it cold in your work space then you would not be happy around me. Co-workers have always joked that my office was cold enough to use as a meat locker!!! Needless to say they were happy that each office had its own thermostat!!! I always told them that the cold was my way of keeping people from lingering in my office!!:D:D

How's your back holding out with all the sitting around?

Thanks for asking, it is doing ok, but naturally I could use more movement. I have been finding excuses to get up and move around or sit in different places, etc. The nurses have also been kind enough to allow me to lie in the other bed in the room since it is not occupied.

Let's see, what should I use as a question?

drummerboy

06-11-2007, 03:47 PM

Ken, if you don't know who are we going to ask? And what did the person who slept on the other side do then?

The person on the other side usually woke up first and pushed the other one out the right side and then got out on the right side as well. If they both got up on the wrong side, well, nobody worried about it any more anyway.

1. Is it a picture of the volcano in Mexico? The one you can see from the San Angel Inn?

2 Hi, Erin! :wave: See Grandpa's pony tail? If you tug on it, he'll smile and kiss you! Really!

1. Good guess but no. Still missing a mountain.

2. Did you say I'd be smiling while she gets it in the kisser? :thedolls:

1.The ponytail thing doesn't work on my stepdad for the grandkids..do you think Ken handles it better?

2. And good guess! What about something from the mural at the CR? or perhaps a scene from Ellen's energy adventure?

2. Still good guesses but no cookie yet.

Just because you don't have the right chromosomal combination to appreciate a finely placed bandana.... :D

Not at all, mate, not at all... I've thought he was cute, ever since the first movie... but my goodness... he comes into his own in this one! :cloud9:

Yup - that was quite a picture, wasn't it?? Wish I had a still of it for my phone... my wall... my locker at work... heck, a life-size would be nice, but I don't think my DH would approve. :blush: (Unless, of course, I had one made of Elizabeth... then maybe it'd be okay...)
I just had to laugh at the bandana comment! I am trying to get Di to go see POTC for the 3rd time with me this coming weekend. (can you believe I skipped this weekend?????)

I had a pretty good day at work today. I have been offered 2 new jobs so things are looking up for me. I guess I won't have to cancel my Cruise now!! I have also applied for another job and will find out this week. So I may have 3 to choose from! Pixie dust works. :D

When I was driving to work I noticed a goat on the side of the road. It was odd. Anyone seen our goat?
Congrats to you on the job offers! Hope whichever you choose will work out for you! More pixie dust heading your way!
You saw the goat??? Was the monkey on his back?

Have the pink tees already. All the buckeyes, aye? If I remember correctly, somebody did not make them last Christmas. ;)
Sad to say, it doesn't surprise me that you have pink tees. Are your golfing pants bright pink too? Um...acutally, I did make buckeyes last year. I just didn't tell you. We made them the weekend after Christmas. Boy, they were the best I made too!

All you want, but you still forgot one mountain.

DW got home with grandson just before midnight. Seems there was a four-car pileup soumewhere out in the county so they had to wait for all that triage. Good thing she went--he had all kinds of sinus problems and they were even affecting his eyes. He's got some medication now and is already feeling better.

Have I mentioned DW's nose for kiddie ailments? She is downright accurate about something being wrong with the kids when they "don't smell right". Even when our two wre very little, she could tall something wasn't right by the 'sniff test'.
Hope your grandson starts to feel better. Been there, done that with sinus infections. They aren't fun! Never heard of the "sniff test". I'll have to ask my mom how she knew.
Oh, is it the mountain from Fantasmic??? (with the boat in front?)

Hi all! Did everyone have a good weekend?

Hi Jasper!!!! Good to hear from you! Hope things go good with your mom. Let us know what happens! Prayers & pixie dust on the way!

I was off of work today & have been really enjoying the day. Well, it didn't start off too well. Had to get a temporary crown put in. Man, getting the molds made were the worst. Went out to lunch with my parents & did some shopping. (Frankie, had a root beer float just for you!!!) I guess I should iron my scrubs for the week, huh?

We were waiting in the bleachers for Fantasmic to begin when the full moon peeped out from behind the clouds. I took a little creative license with photoshop and voila. It's the same picture I use for my desktop. A little hard to see in the avatar, but there's a little white circle just over the mountain--that's the full moon. No boat in the picture--that's just part of the stage at the lower end of the picture.

What's the proper treatment for a dog bite?

I went for my normal evening walk and I was a few houses away from home. My neighbors were outside with their dog. I've met their dog (a young German Shepard) on several occasions and she's never been anything other than friendly with me. She got away from the wife, and ran at me and I thought she was just going to jump up on me like she usually does. But, she bit me in the arm instead! :eek: She got me pretty good too - drew blood and caused some swelling. My neighbors were mortified, insisted that I come in so they could clean it up, and apologized profusely. My arm hurts a bit, but I'm OK. I've kept ice on it and the swelling is pretty much gone now.

I'm having a weird year so far. :rolleyes:

Hey everyone! How was your Monday? Mine was pretty busy... my baby (DD5) graduated from kindergarten today (I can't believe it!! :() and then we all went out for a long lunch... by the time we got home, it was pretty much time to go through all her school stuff, meet my DD8 off the bus and get ready for dinner & work!! And now, here I am! It's been a pretty busy night - I can't believe you guys are all asleep now and I'm here by myself... :pout:

I had a pretty good day at work today. I have been offered 2 new jobs so things are looking up for me. I guess I won't have to cancel my Cruise now!! I have also applied for another job and will find out this week. So I may have 3 to choose from! Pixie dust works.

That's great!! I sure hope one of them works out for you!! Sending pixie dust your way!!

I hope everyone is doing well today... I'm not.. got a headache... got tummy troubles, and I'm just feeling plain ole down in the dumps... anyone got a cookie to cheer me up?
Sorry to hear you had a lousy day - I hope you're better by now!! :(

Wanna hear a story? On Saturday, I decided that I could easily groom my older dog if I had a decent set of clippers. So, we bought some clippers, and I proceeded to clip him. He now looks like he has the mange, and I have received a life-time clipper ban for the offense. He may look awful, but he sure slept well -- he was nice and cool.
:D :rotfl:

Please keep my mother in your prayers and keep sending pixie dust her way!!
Jasper, I'll keep praying for her, and I'm sending some pixie dust her way right now!!

...and apparently it's a law to be frozen at work in warm weather.
Oh, that is SO true here at my hospital... I am never colder here than when it is warm outside. I swear - anything above 65 degrees outside, and the A/C is on, set for temps that would freeze you out in the winter. :confused:

Rhonda, I am so sorry to hear that happened!! I have no idea what the treatment is - I just wanted to send some pixie dust your way and tell you I can't believe you got bit tonight!! I would make sure you ask your neighbors if the shepherd is up on her shots, etc., just to be sure - you probably already did, but... I hope your arm feels better in the morning!! :(

What's the proper treatment for a dog bite?Is it a puncture wound? When did you have your last tetanus shot? A puncture wound should be looked at by a doctor, and might require anti-biotics. Our next door neighbours baby was bitten by their OWN dog last week, 5 stitches to his head and it became infected, so he needed IV anti-biotics (he couldn't take them orally without :ack:). I would take the bite seriously Rhonda. Here's some :pixie: for quick healing!!

Rhonda,
You need to call your doctor! You will probably need a tetanus shot.

My last tetanus shot was in April when I fell down the stairs. :rolleyes: So, at least I won't need one of those.

Since one of the bite marks was still oozing blood this morning, and the area is still swollen, I went ahead and called the doctor. I've got an appointment in about an hour. Until then, I'm working at home. I probably won't be able to post an update on what the doc says until this evening since I'll be going into work after the appointment, but I'm sure I'll be fine. And, yes, the doggy is up-to-date on all her shots. :whew:

Is a doglet like a squeak dog?

Sort of. Diane has a couple good sized furr babies and Deb's is, shall we say, smaller. Hence the doglet, not quite a full dog.

I hope Ben emotionally feels better as the day goes. Give him a hug from all of us, ok?

They're subjected to the rigid standards of the DDPI test kitchens after a select committee meets and decides on each new flavor (flavour). Why do you ask? (I think cousin Ralphie chaired the last select committee. Next week it's granddaughter Erin's turn.)

You were the one that covered my eyes & ears & wouldn't let me peek into the door that was showing my Orlando.

My last tetanus shot was in April when I fell down the stairs. So, at least I won't need one of those.

Since one of the bite marks was still oozing blood this morning, and the area is still swollen, I went ahead and called the doctor. I've got an appointment in about an hour. Until then, I'm working at home. I probably won't be able to post an update on what the doc says until this evening since I'll be going into work after the appointment, but I'm sure I'll be fine. And, yes, the doggy is up-to-date on all her shots.
Sorry to hear about the dog bite. Good luck at the doctor. I am glad you are current on your Tetanus shot. Sad to say, we see dog bites every month at work. We clean the wounds, make sure they don't need stitches, give antibiotics & make sure the dog is current on its shots. Also, the doc may have to report the bite to your county that you live in. That is required by the state. (at least it is in OH)

Hey Deb, did you notice that someone had the "Hot Pirate" Orlando as her avatar?
Yes, I drooled, I mean saw it...I wish I had thought of that before they made me my Koda avatar. Oh well, too late now.

Sort of. Diane has a couple good sized furr babies and Deb's is, shall we say, smaller. Hence the doglet, not quite a full dog.

Ouch...that hurt Scott. My Riley is not a doglet!!!!!!!! Can't help it he fits on my lap.

I didn't change my name for a few years after I got married, as to hyphenate it would have made my signature 8 billion characters long....so I relented after I got a tattoo and got in the "family way" and gave up being "Legs Malone" to evermore be known as "Harry's Mom".
The Saturday night stash is dwindling in Ajax.... were there Pirates in my kitchen last night??????? I skipped the tatto and put the hypen in the kid's name. When DS is in trouble he can hear me for at least a block and half by the time you say it all!

A very piratesque service guy just came and adjusted the thermostat in my office....
What 1-800 number are you using..need to change mine for sure! Is that extra?

Ben stayed home from school today. Poor kid said he felt "crummy." When interrogated (as only a loving mom can do), it was emotionally crummy he was feeling. :(
I'm sorry to hear that. It's good he told you though. Hopefully some down time will make him feel a little better. Please say hi for us.

my baby (DD5) graduated from kindergarten today (I can't believe it!! :() (

They grow so fast don't they? Congrats on her Grad. My boys are graduating from elementary school at end of month. Can't believe it. They are off to middle school (grades 7-9) next year :(

Rhonda,
You need to call your doctor! You will probably need a tetanus shot.

I agree. Good luck Rhonda! Hope you heal fast.

IThe Saturday night stash is dwindling in Ajax.... were there Pirates in my kitchen last night???????

You don't expect Pirates to fess up do you? We will, however, tattle. I am sure the goat was loose. He was on side of road in town here the other day. It is possible he made his way out East.

Have I not stressed enough that it's always the monkey's fault? I'm sure the monkey let the goat loose and gave it the Ajax cookies. (Although I'm not sure which would be worse; Ajax cookies, Comet cookies, or Mr. Clean Cookies--DDPICC does not make cleaning product cookes)

Hi all... just dropping by before I head off to bed. I had to get up early (okay, yes, while you were all working...:blush:) to go get my DD's. Last day of school for Julia (DD8) and Emma (DD5) was at my mom's - her last day was yesterday. I can't believe the school year is over already!! But - I'm glad they're home... remind me of that in a few weeks... ;)
Tonight was dress rehearsal for their ballet recital on Saturday - they did great, and boy - it's the first time Emma's worn makeup like that - she was so pretty... (Not at all biased, of course...) Julia's been dancing for 4 years, so I'm "used" to seeing her all made up - but not my baby!! She looked so grown up... :(

They grow so fast don't they? Congrats on her Grad. My boys are graduating from elementary school at end of month. Can't believe it. They are off to middle school (grades 7-9) next year

It's true, isn't it? Time just flies, right when you don't want it to!! Congrats early on their graduation...

Thanks for the pixie dust for Ben. He spent some quiet time, then time playing PoTC on the computer and now he's doing his number one "coping" activity: he's drawing up a storm.

Ok Rhonda, how about a dog bite update ???

Where I come from, a dog only bites once. You can figure out what happens after that. I'll be glad to send out the posse. Just say the word. Nobody but me bites my friends and gets away with it.

:gangster:

Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone! And, for the offer of help, Frankie! :thumbsup:

The dog bite is doing a bit better. It doesn't seem to be oozing blood any more. The doctor didn't put any stitches in it - he said it had been too long since the incident (over 12 hours). So, he just told me to use hydrogen peroxide to keep it clean, then slather it with antibiotic ointment and put a band-aid on it. He also gave me 2 prescriptions for anitbiotics.

And, he called animal control and reported the incident. They'll be putting the doggy into quarantine for 10 days as a precaution. I haven't talked to my neighbors since I went to the doctor, so I don't know if they know if it wasn't me that reported it.

The Sonic in our town has hamburgers 5 for $5.00 on Tuesday nights! Hubby even picked them up for us! I can't make them at home for that price!:thumbsup:

Rhonda, glad things are getting straightened out on the doggie bite. Hope the neighbors don't try to play the victim now that the dog has been reported.

DW decided that she could keep better track of the grands and entertain them better if they were off in the camper, so off they went to a Jellystone not too far away. I think it was a good excuse to get "Pa" to clean up the mess they left behind. How can two kids so small tear up so much in so little time?

By the way, speaking of time flying, wait until your young'uns are thirty somethings and you're trying to figure out where the time went.

Hugs to Ben... this is such a rough thing for him to go thru. Let him know he's being thought of often in JQ land. Rhonda, glad the doggy bite is doing a bit better. Hope your neighbors won't be too upset. And hope they get some training for the doggy.. would hate for it to be labled vicious and have to be destroyed.

Um...I didn't mean for everybody to run down to the lower hold at once. Is there anybody steering the ship? :sail:

Whe I got to the hold,the monkey was sitting on the case, drinking a bottle of rum and the goat had set the ship on auto-pilot. At least that is what the old goat says. I didn't know the ship had auto-pilot, did you?:confused:

I know we are being treated to lunch but not sure what else is included. Do you think the outfit (from that poor description) sounds OK? Practical? Oh it has a matching cream jacket and fluffy bit at the front lapel. Good at giving descriptions aren't I? :swing: (not!) I think it sounds perfect Mikki! You are even putting feathers on! Please remember to share the experience with us!

Oh, I must tell you that I got the blueberry creamer this morning, and it wasn't half bad. Sorry Ellen, but I have no idea what you are talking about.....for coffee? :sick:

Can somebody check the lower hold? Sorry. I don't do basements... or heights either for the record. I will look after the mess with the pirates. :blush:

Oh my gosh, DW would be mortified to think that I let a cleaning crew come into her dirty house. :confused: :D

I started picking up this morning and I'll guess the rest will get done tonight before rehearsal.

How's everybody's mid-week going?
Uh Ken, the trick here is to say you did it. Much better that way no?

Banker Babe - you might know why on earth our bank have invted us out (or not - it doesn't make sense to us and I used to work for a bank!) Anyhow we were invited for a day out at Royal Ascot races. Yes the Queen will be there but no, dh Andrew will not. The bank have agreed for me to take anyone I like! So I am taking a retired work collegue who loves horse racing.

Mikki I'm actually required to take at least one client out each week to something and to have some kind of reception, seminar something each quarter for between 20-40. It's quite quite normal to be invited to events. Is your bank in anyway a sponser for that day? (no idea if that's possible but it often means we are told to bring more people to an event than just having an event itself in the area). Your outfit sounds lovely. (and don't worry your banker is likely as stressed as you...I'm going to be heading out next week or so on a commercial fishing boat for the whole day. Imagine how I feel about that!!)

I'm ticked. I just had a "discussion" with a co-worker who came to ask my opinion about something I have authority over, but she uses. I gave my opinion and advised that it would be done according to the standard set. She kept reitterating what she was going to do... so I asked her "Why are you asking my opinion if you are not going to listen to what I am saying?" She smiled and kept saying it...then said she will go to discuss with our Chief Auditor to see what he wants..... I am SO ticked off. Why ask a question if you don't want a response? :mad::mad::mad:
I know a secret ageny spy (who use to hold the title of "Best Legs") who can probably convince your co-worker to do it the right way.

Did anyone hear the news that just came across that Ruth Graham, the wife of Billy Graham died this afternoon?

While the Grahams are not a part of my particular religion they certainly deserve tremendous praise for their efforts at preaching Jesus' word and trying to keep faith an important and relevant part of American society at a time when religion seemed to be under attack from so many elements. And, from everything I have ever read it certainly sounds like Ruth was just as important a part of the family ministry as Billy was, she was just more in the background.

Rhonda, so glad to hear that your dog bite is doing better. Yeah, there is only a 10-12 hour time frame to get stitches. The risk for infection is too high after that. Very rare have I seen our docs stitch after that. I hope the neighbors don't get upset with you due to the fact that they had to quarantine the dog. That is standard procedure.

I have tried my best with the woman who is making all the arrangements to have him buried in the family plot... I've said it at least five times now (and it's not easy for me to confront this woman). In fact, this afternoon once again I called her to tell her that I want him buried next to his mom and that his older daughters want this as well. But, of course, no one has spoken up but me. :mad: Now I'm upset and feeling guilty and very stressed. Am I always going to come out as the villian here??? I can't stand the drama.

My arm is still healing although a bit of blood still oozes out now and then. It's still a bit swollen and slightly warm to the touch, but much better than before. :thumbsup:

Someone at work today did describe it as being blue though (from the bruising).

Rhonda, so glad to hear that your dog bite is doing better. Yeah, there is only a 10-12 hour time frame to get stitches. The risk for infection is too high after that. Very rare have I seen our docs stitch after that. I hope the neighbors don't get upset with you due to the fact that they had to quarantine the dog. That is standard procedure.

The neighbors weren't upset at all. I finally got to speak to them tonight, and they were still very apologetic. They even insisted and gave me $20 to cover the co-pay for my doctor's visit (I didn't tell them about the $14 for the antibiotic co-pays). Animal control is allowing them to keep the dog in quarantine at home. She has to stay in the backyard and/or her crate, and can't even go out for a walk on a leash for the 10 days, but it's better than having her at the vet.

Questions: where is Christine? How is Jasper's mom? How did Lynne's son's "date" go? How's Rhonda's arm? What DVD, Sandy?

Was this the time that Christine was going to the church camp thing?

I don't know how Jasper's mom is, but I'm still transmitting :pixie: her way.

What's Rugelach? Kinda hard to explain but here goes. It's a pastry based cookie with a cream cheese dough, you roll it in a circle then cut it in triangle wedges, sprinkle a filling on it then roll them up into cresents. (can be made smallish or largeish) I make a version with rasberry jam and mini choc. chips and one with apricot jam and diced dates or figs with nutmeg in the dough. Also can be a choc dough as well with other stuff. Sprinkle with sugar and bake. Quite yummy and freeze really well (either baked or not)
