    Thanks Everyone. :) Awsum - I'm thinking that bot is a little beyond the scope of my experience. Just sayin'. LOL Umm ... actually it's not upside down. See all the little stalactites hanging from the ceiling? Those pillars are just often heftier at the bottom than the top. That blue area is...

    Hi back atcha, Awsum. :) And, hello to the rest of the Voltville Gang! It's not at all like me to abandon a group of people that I care about so much, but I've been dealing with some issues. When it comes right down to it, I don't invest myself emotionally with very many people. I've lost far...

    I'm gonna have to wish you an early Happy Birthday as well, Sandy because I won't be here this weekend. Happy Birthday Sandy! Sorry I couldn't do something more special. Still packing to go out of town ...

    Sure hope it goes well. Sometimes the compensation isn't worth the stress.

    It was stunning. Not her style, but she got it for Dave. Thanks!! :D It truly was the perfect setting. With beautiful weather to go along with it. Ma Nature was kind. I owe her one. Holding a drink, smokin' a cigarette and wearing a nose ring!! :laugh:

    G'Morning All! I'm gonna be packing today to go to Illinois. While I'm there, I may visit the house where I lived for nearly 21 years with my late husband. I'm sure that it has changed. Hope they haven't chopped the mature oaks down. :unsure: We may even get a one day fishing license and throw...

    :laugh: Not in such a hurry to be a grandmother. There's time enough for that. Actually I'm already a great grandma. My late husband had two daughters. One of those daughters has already had a daughter. (He was significantly older than I am.) Yep - lot's and lotsa chocolate. That wedding "cake"...

    Oh maaan! I missed you folks!! There is very little that can sidetrack and overwhelm a person's world quite as much as a wedding. JEESH!! Luckily, it went off without a hitch. No wait a sec. They did get "hitched", but that was the only "hitch". :laugh: I spent days and days in advance helping...

    Sounds like y'all have things to market too. Too much ... stuff! I've got a couple of windsurfers to put on Craigslist too. Oy!

    Mornin' Lizzie. :) Sounds like a fun trip to Costco yesterday. I've never had the pleasure, but I've heard good things. Stinks that you have to drive home in such incredible heat with no A/C. Used to be that such temps wouldn't bother me at all, but it would kill me now. I don't envy you your...

    :ohmy: Oh No - What a pain! I am glad that you got it fixed though and no one melted during the time of the breakdown. Oh my goodness - your yard is absolutely breathtaking!! :thumbs: That's a heckuva long drive! I'm so glad that you made it home safely. :) For once, I'm not jealous of...

    I'm tryin'. What I really need is serious alone time, but that's impossible under the circumstances. It's been too hot and too rainy to camp out. Hard to come to grips when you're inundated with humanity. At least, it is for me ...

    Add wood roaches to the list of creepy crawlies that enter with firewood. The wood roaches lay their eggs beneath the bark of the firewood and hatch when the temperature is just right. Like in a house! Hiya Folks! I'm back. Sorta. Feeling subdued and reclusive. Sure was nice to read all of your...

    It was a no-go on the sweet potato french fries. My future daughter-in-law made 'em from scratch awhile back. Nope. :blush: On the bright side, I found out that you can glean 350mg of potassium from one serving of Lay's Potato Chips!! :w00t: I'm pretty much packed and ready to head out the...

    Awsum - you almost made sweet potatoes sound good! Almost. :facepalm: I've made a note of Braggs ACV. Some nice local honey might make it palatable. Or, I could just add that black strap molasses to it and kill two birdies with one stone. Thanks! I'm doing the very same thing tomorrow...

    Actually, one of the few things that I absolutely can't get past the gag reflex is sweet potatoes. I've never considered myself a picky eater, but there must be something about potassium that adds so many of those items to my Do Not Like list. In the list that you mentioned, I only like the...
