The paper I work for
delights in reporting about her, so we're all very familiar with 'em. Personally, I think it's a mob front. That place doesn't stay open on the strength of the register.
What do you do for the paper, Dave/George? The time that I spent copywriting for a little Santa Monica newpaper, The Argonaut (went from and Argonaut to a Reonaut

), was
so much fun. It's now moved online (not nearly as fun, and not for me

).
Hope everyone has a great day! Running off to pick up a vintage, low seat, long bench that I picked up at habitat for humanity for the poodles to sleep on. I frequently walk
through the place and usually all the good stuff is already marked sold. Couldn't believe my luck, the bench is exactly what I wanted for in front of the big windows...thought I was going to have to build something. Now I only have to upholster a top cushion.
Jen, so great to hear the cortisone shots have provided much relief

! I want pics of
both the yurt and the vintage long poodle bench when you get/build them!
Thanks karen, there should be a monkey in every iPad. On another note, keep your fingers crossed folks because tonight I shall find out if my woman passed her math final.
My fingers are starting to get sore, RHP...how'd it go for your sweetheart? And BIG +1 on Cheri's request to see some pics of you with your bra hat

!!
Speaking of which, that was such a ridiculously cute grandkid pic, Karen

!
My new carpet is here and will be put in tomorrow so I will be missing in action for a few days.
Hmm...don't know if I'm quite satisfied with that as enough reason to leave us in the lurch, missy, and you can't have my keyboard while you're gone, either

! We'll be happy whenever you return, sashie!
Love british shows, mostly sitcoms. I might recommend Dad's Army, Vicar of Dibley, Royle Family, Two Pints, Fawlty Towers and My Family! (Thats just for starters)
There's my complete fellow Anglophile

! Hope you had a lovely spot of tea this evening, Ed!
I have everything except the Peanut butter, I'll get some on my next order and try Val's version of Boba's since it seems to be a hit.
I'm missing only
three of the ingredients (pretty shocked at that, as a non-DIYer), but I'm gonna give it a go, too

. Thank you, Val!
THANK YOU ALL so much for the well wishes for my foot. I could have SWORN that I'd already groused about it multiple times here in REOville

...happened close to two months ago! But it's two bones in my right foot that I broke...awful fall down stairs, so it could've been SO much worse. One of my sweet pups tripped me up, but my own innate clutziness sure didn't help. The physical therapist told me today that the Lisfranc fracture is going to take a LONG time to heal, so this HEAVY cam boot stays on. Still, my injury doesn't rival Val or Gil's in severity. There are, indeed, quite a few of us in REOville who benefit from and take comfort in all of the healing vibes sent out by our dear fellow Reonauts. I hope you all continue to know that I'm routing my hardest for your speedy recovery from whatever ails you. This IS, without a doubt, the very warmest little nook of this entire forum
