I was able to fix my embedment yesterday :-) You can see that I am enjoying learning web page design. In the next week or so I'll be working on making my own photo galleries instead of using PhotoShop templates for Dream Weaver. I wish I could just stay home from work and play on my computer. It could be a mental health day - Ha!

That's just great, alone again with the HOT FLASH lady's.

Morning, What do mean Jerry? HOT FLASH lady's? Surely, you do not mean moi? Just back from getting bloodwork done, only took three sticks this time, so that is a good thing for me. Have to wait for a battery of other tests after the bloodwork results come in. Great fun.

Off to do some baking for the holidays. Have a great day everyone and I voted twice already today.

Hugs, Hugs, Hugs!!!!

Quick hello to all!

Just finished making Gingerbread cookies with the kids - they are on a sugar high. 'nuff said. It's way too early I know, but funny, they don't care LOL!

Have a great morning!

I want to bake for the holidays too Debbie, but then I will eat it all...

Good morning Debbie, hope the blood work comes back good. The cooking class was a blast, went off very well.

Krispi...bake and send it my way. LOL! Morning all! I voted. Have a fun filled Tuesday!

WHAT, NO PEPPERBALL COOKIES?

That's just not right!

Time to get ready for work.

Click!

Good Morning Everyone!!

Donna, thanks for the links
Thank you ALL for voting!!!

Debbie, I do hope that things are ok. I hope your docs work hard to find nothing!

Bas has played a bit this morning. I think he's tired of laying around. He just makes this funny little sound...I think that is his "OWWWWIE!" sound

Heck yeah, this time I'm not turning down anything, and yall know what I mean. Did that once, to be nice...well, no more Miss Nice Girl for me!!!!

Pepperball reminded me of the Dutch term...
MEATGLITTERS....HA HA HA HA HA

No peppernuts/balls today - however, they went fast at the bakesale, no one could resist those peppernuts.

Here are the artists.
Quinn
Riker

The pics are fuzzy as I put my thumbprint on the lens without realizing it. Oh well!

OMG! Those are so cute, even with the smudges!!! I voted again.

Morning all

Denise, well done If you need any help, give me a shout...that's part of what I do for a living

PS, voted, and will vote all day. Others must be having their friends do the same thing...lol!

eileen, cute pics.

time to make the donuts.

jerry....
HOT FLASH PED EGG

Kristi, please copy and paste since I'm lazy and would have to retype the recipe LOL!
Wow, that sounds like I dont' care I care but I'm at the paying gig and the recipe's at home!!!

PS, sometimes you gotta be tough!

Eileen, those are fine looking gingerbread men! I wanna bite

OMG.....Miss Bon Bini is sleeping on my side chair that is beside me. That's her spot while she's "working" during the day LOL! Ahyhoo, she just let out a few loud snorts/snores LMAO!
Her feet are busy taking her somewhere too; probably chasing the Easter Bunny or a birdie I am sure LOL!

Each of the three girls has their spots while at work. Bits sleeps on her back on Rob's couch in his office. Bini stays out here with me in my office on my side chair and Miss Thang aka Bubbles sleeps in her crate in Rob's office.

They are just funny!
I LOVE MY DOGS

Morning (what's left of it) BT.

My computer/terminal here at work was down until 15 minutes ago. Put a dent in my productivity today, but what the heck. I like a challenge.

KIV. Bon Bini must sound like my Terry with a cold trying to sleep. Snort and snore!! |clipart{lol}

Donna, Denise, Elaine, Jerry, BH, Debbie, Kristi, Randy & Lynda, Judy, Eileen, Tribs, PS, Tink and all to follow have a great day. Keep me entertained while I try to catch up with work.

Hi all!!!

Eileen,

Hugs to all that need them.

CYA

I have nothing to say!

You go missing for days, leave me alone with the HOT FLASHES and all you do is send hugs?

Jerry is going to be hugging the coffee can.

I love my new coffee can. The edges are a bit sharp. No, very sharp

Note to self:

Send this coffee can to Tom for Christmas.

Check out this website, you just have to love Dutch marketing. It takes a minute to load but very entertaining!

Very cool RA.

Click!

Jerr, for you pumpkin

Morning Everyone!
Eileen --- OMG those boys are beyond cute and the cookies -- works of art.

I voted and wrote another review -- Go PegiSue!!

Jerry, did you start the Xmas music yet? I think I'll play it this afternoon if Guy comes in to the shop.

Pretty busy day here but that's a good thing

Hugs to everyone whether you need/want them or not.... just grin and bear it!!!

the puppies are chewing on the doggie door...lol...oh, and two are leaving this weekend

jerry

geez, now i know what to do with the free "buffer pads."

Tink, thank you so much for that lovely video. I just bought W.H.N. a belt sander. I figure she can use it on her feet and I can use it in the woodshop.

Are the "Buffer Pads" used in the same way Tucks pads are used?

I LOVE the part where the models are comparing "foot ash." How special!

Tom, WHN will love it, and so will you. Ol'e WHN did the same for me, even trade, he LOVES his new belt sander!

Jerr, get over here and clean my monitor.

Tink, no she won't, she doesn't appreciate anything anymore. The other night she was complaining that washing dishes was ruining her hands so, I bought her some latex gloves. DON'T EVER DO THAT JERRY, IF YOU DO, DON'T BUY THE GLOVES WITH THE "GRIPPER DOTS" ON THEM!!!

To late. I have Tucks ready.

Tucks!!!!!!

look what ole' WHN gave me as an early Christmas present...phhhhetttttt!

Jell-O ashtrays

Tink, nevermind, I will shut up. ROTFLMAO!!!

"HEY HONEY, I FOUND A PLACE YOU SHOULD GO!!!"

what about the heels Jerry?

Here ya go Kobi...

Sweet Potato-Pineapple Casserole

1/4 stick of butter melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 can sweet potatoes (drained)
1 lg. can crushed pineapple (drain well)
Miniature marshmallows

Mash potatoes, mix in the 1st four ingredients. Line a casserole dish with a layer of pineapple potatoes & marshmallows.
Repeat layers.
Top with bread cubes.
Melt 1 stick butter. Spooon butter over bread cubes.

Bake at 325 until warm & browned
Approx. 30-45 minutes.

I slice several slices of bread into cubes for the topping.

I used about 5 real potatoes not canned. the canned yams have syrup...yuk..
I doubled everything but the sugar.

I also cut bread into cubes for the top instead of bread crumbs.

Man, talk about totally to die for and easy as you pleasy!! hehe

hmm, I used a small baker so I could do more than 1 layer.

Kobi this recipe is so good.
I will stick to my fake remake though unless I am taking it for other people to eat, haha. SOOO fattening

do you like your new mountain man can Jerry???

I voted again...

I'm sending it to Tommy-Boy.


Here you go Grassstopper.

hehe

nite y'all

Note to self:

Remember not to get on Krispy's wrong side!

Krisp, you actually eat that stuff?!?!

Jerry, the Juan Valdez can? Really and for true?

I just found out I WAS THE ONLY ONE drinking the BOX WINE at the NEMM...I only drink white, and I didn't see any white out, only the box...LOL!

Hey Jerry, tell Louise we now know where the cheap vinegar went - Tink drank it.

You were not!!! I was drinking it too!!! don't let Jerry fool you..

Major....eat what?

ok...now I am realllly gone...we got inspected today. What fun..
bye y'all

Let it Snow Let it Snow Let is Snow
as long as you love me sooooooo

Guy's here... Xmas music is on

la la la la lalalalalalala

I still have some white box wine left.

There was 36 bottles of white wine in the wine cooler in the kitchen. Someone had some of that?

More ice cubes please.


Click!

Freddie, dat splains it rotflmao

Nite Jerr

TY Freddie, he just tole me there were three cases of NICE WHITE there...WTF? He sure didn't tell me! I told him I was only there to get drunk, so it really didn't matter, why waste the GOOD STUFF ON YOUR FRIENDS?

By Krisp...

puppy pile

OK I admit it I drank from the cooler but when one wasn't open I did drink from the box.. No ice needed in the cooler wine and Jerry next time we are together I will show you HOW to open a box wine!! OMG it was disgraceful... if it had been a bottle there would have been cork and sealing wax in the bottle!!

Tink, Freddie likes ice cubes. Do you? rotflmao

Dang I think I just messed myself. snort

Think I'll get me a box o wine for the shop

Tara, if you need help opening it Freddie can help. make sure you have plenty of ice cubes in case she gets too giggly tho.

ice cubes? ick...I like mine dry!

OMG TINK, THANKS FOR THE PUPPYCAM LINK!!! I am laughing so hard I am crying

Nite all, I have to go watch OUR puppies then close shop.

Ayumi's doing spins !!!!!

Quick everyone over to the Shiba page ----->>>>>>>

Puppy cam + Bas = VERY VERY FUNNY!!!!!
he's trying to catch their tails!!!

So our little Bas is feeling a bit better?

My LG sits and watches them on the laptop -- very cute

He's walking more than the last 2 days, but still limping. The vet called today to check on him. I think I'm going to take him to another vet tomorrow and see what she will charge for this. She's in Wisconsin!!!!LOL

Tomorrows class will be, Fun With Ice Cubes.

Will that work on HUMP DAY?

Pegi Pie are you coming up north? I got to warn you, we have snow. I bet Bas' big feet would do well in the snow. Hugs to the little guy!

(Message edited by jeanineclark on December 2, 2008)

Nah....I was joking. I'd LOVE to take him to Becky tho. Maybe I can get her to move here...

yah, he'd do great in snow!

Hey! You leave Becky up here by me. She is MY friend. LOL! Now you, you can come up here and be our friend too!

Better watch out, I may show up at your door...ask Freddie!!!!LOL

Gotta love a cat named Bas, which is a truly Bonairian (that shows up misspelled!) name. And perfect, if I might add.

I went onto the lanai just now, and there is a perfect alignment of Mars, Venus and the moon. Not as good as last night, but by the time the "photographers" got set up, there was cloud cover last night, but I saw it, was grand. But it's beautiful out now, and my hubby and BFF are trying to be professional about these shots. lol I'm the finder, it's up to the true photographers to shoot this.

Ah, I feel hump day coming. Friday is our annual get together at work, with traditional foods and all, a multi cultural event, and the awards ceremony at Indian Rocks beach. Ick! I hate that part, as they think awards are enough to get over not having raises in 2 years, but we get from 3:00 off to explore the beach and gardens. I have enough awards to fill a room, but not enough raises. Ah well, in today's economy I'm just glad to have a "safe" job.

Maybe pics later.

Kathy, if they get those pics you gotta post them!!

At the NEMM I told Bas Richter that I had a cat named Bas. And that he was named after him. He said "That's weird. I've never had a cat named after me." The face he made was funny

Larry won.

He is seriously studying his camera, my BFF's is new to her.

So:




PS, just good vibes, and can i say? prayers for you and George. I don't think any energy from the universe is wasted. So you have mine in all force.

PS...you are always welcome to come visit. My door is always open. You might change you mind once the parrots start squawking, but you are welcome to visit whenever you want! (That goes for the rest of you too - but Jerry, if you come, you must bring wine ).

Oh no... is there a way to ping the puppy mom/dad?
Ayumi has her collar stuck in her mouth.....
HELP!!!!

never mind... nervous Nellie here...
now one of the other pups is chewing on it.
They are too much.

Okay, gotta run to the Post Office...
PS - second opinions certainly don't hurt

If I don't make it back tonight....
take care my friends

Hi everyone....busy Tuesday....glad I'm off tomorrow..if only I didn't have SO MUCH to do...oh well....

have a good night all!!

Oh guys, gals, photographers....we'll have a 5 minute space next week to shoot the space shuttle going over, for 4 days, starting Monday, I think. OK, time for House!

(I think I'm gonna challenge the photographers to do a time lapse on the shuttle. ) I really would like to see it going across the sky in a perfect arc. Wishes, y'now. They become challenges to some.

Nite nite all.

Kristi, thanks for posting the recipe
Hope Gail finds. Fresh yams, I am sure, are really yummy! I don't think it would ever taste the same with bread crumbs; you gotta do bread cubes

Glad you liked it; we love it!!!

Soup Kitchen night so this gal is tired. We're chilling now and watching the plasma.

Kathy, nice pics. The sky has been clear and amazing here so we saw some beautiful bright planets and a cool moon too!

So Kristi - is that the high cal or low cal recipe? When I'm bringing it somewhere I always want the original high cal! And with bread cubes on top with no other topping than the melted butter, do they soak down into the marshmallows?

You said "Line a casserole dish with a layer of pineapple potatoes & marshmallows" And do you mix the pineapple with the sweet potatoes?

Just askin'! I really want to try it for Christmas!

Gail,
The recipe is my Mom's ancient recipe. You just layer the pineapple, potatoes and marshmallows; don't mix them together. Layer them in the pan until you're out I always used canned but fresh yams/sweet potatoes can be used as well.

The one that Kristi posted is the original, real McCoy; high cal for sure but OMG good
The butter isn't enough to soak through but let me tell ya it makes some awesome topping!!!
When I reheat it I always do it in the oven so the bread cubes stay crispy.
Enjoy it.....we do

Look kids, pay me big bucks and I will walk you through a diner made for the Gods.

All funds going to BT, Inc.

If only Jerry...

I voted again! Sleep tight everyone!

Boom, you weren't the only one that saw poor Ayumi get caught on her collar! I had the window open, and heard the SCREACHING like someone was getting murdered, but it was at the point where Mommy had her and must have been trying to get the collar off. Here's what daddy posted:

---

quote:

My wife is rushing home right now to help out Ayumi. do note that the pups have break-away collars so it SHOULD be popping off.

---

OK, everyone is gone...but of course, it was MISS THANG that got her collar stuck...LOL!

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala

I LOVE PUPPIES

Thanks Tinks I didn't have the sound on - thank goodness - because I was listening to Christmas Music through Windows Media
It was hard to watch the poor thing and another pup - I couldn't tell which one was trying to help her. I'm guessing it was Amaya - they seem to be bonded.
Can you imagine that conversation with your boss...
"Um, sorry boss, gotta run... the pups are in trouble... the world is watching!!"
Such pressure!
