Scary, V. How on earth did it explode like that?!

We just use a pan to make tea.

 

[Drottwiler]

Sounds like too much fun. not to mention work. but will be well worth it in the end. I vote for privacy so they can't see my physic ( fat rolls ) when I'm in there.

 

[Bamrz]

Well I fell asleep in the computer chair again, woke up about 3am and went to bed. Got up about 1pm, Xena was getting antsy because she had to pee!

And the coffee is finally done! I found a backup coffee pot in the basement!

My favorite Poem of all time.My Grandmother recited it often..

In Flanders Field

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields."

John McCrae

Facts about Memorial Day
•Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day.
•Decoration Day was suggested by General John A Logan, leader of a civil war veterans’ association. The first Decoration Day was held on 30th May, 1868. The reason for this choice was that no battle had taken place on this day.
•Today’s participants would have recognized some of the common celebrations of Memorial Day. One the first ever Decoration Day, there were speeches and soldiers’ graves were decorated.
•By 1890, each northern state was marking Decoration Day as an official state holiday; celebrations took place on different days in the southern states.
•The origins of Memorial Day go back to the Civil War, when more lives were lost than in any other war in US history.
•Waterloo, New York, which held its first celebrations of the day in 1866, was named the birthplace of Memorial Day by the federal government.
•Decoration Day evolved into Memorial Day and was gradually extended to include all American military personnel who had died in different wars.
•Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30th for almost a century. The date changed to the last Monday in May following the passing of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1968.

I agree with you. It's sturdy, not flimsy, and feels nice in your hand. The charge on it is still going on mine since yesterday early afternoon. I'll let you know how long till it needs a recharge.

Great deal alert:

For anyone who doesn't have a KitchenAid stand mixer, they are fantastic. I lost my last one in a divorce. Just found the higher powered 5 quart version with all metal gears (the lower end ones have plastic gears and less power) for $199... it's $325 on Amazon.

Sears.com. It's one of those "we won't tell you the price until you go to check out", and you can pick it up in the store and not pay shipping. Shipping MIGHT be free if you have it shipped...can't recall. Ended up being like $215 with (horrible California) sales tax. GREAT price.
