      • Aren't you sweet to ask! She is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. She gives me hugs and loves to cuddle. She's still shy about 'going' when she's out on a walk but we're using treats to reward her so that should work out soon. (NT) -- kgp, Mon, November 17 2008, 16:43:46
  • GM! I am jealous. I love homemade bread. You all are so talented! (NT) -- mary beth, Mon, November 17 2008, 5:43:24
    • TS beer bread is ridiculously easy. Open a 12 oz beer and stir in the bread mix. Bake at 375F for 50 - 55 minutes. Any harder than that and I wouldn't have done it!! (NT) -- kgp, Mon, November 17 2008, 6:00:34
      • Come inside for a Beer Bread recipe. You don't have to buy the mix and it is still very simple (3 ingredients, including the beer). I LOVE the honey brew variation at the bottom. --->> -- SaraH, Mon, November 17 2008, 12:51:24

      • I am such a terrible mom!! I have not once ever had my boys' picture taken with Santa. At 10 and 15, I guess they're too old for me to start now!!! (NT) -- TanyaB, Mon, November 17 2008, 7:44:22
        • No they aren't too old...that'd be funny!! With the DH coming from a large family, all I would hear about was how there were less pics of the 'youunger' kids (they are all close to my PARENT'S age...Dh was a 'surprise') so since I took Joey his first Christmas I have always made a point to TRY and get a Santa pic every year so no one can blame me later! ;) One year Declan wouldn't go...and I have one year with just Declan (Joey must have thought he was too big that year). At 12 (Joey), 7 (Declan) and 2 (Kieran) I think this mght be the last shot of all 3 of them until Joey rounds the corner at 16 or 17 and thinks it's funny to do! Or maybe when they are ALL grown they will get one for ME! :) BTW--we HATE Joey's hair, but we let him have the bangs long with the promise that he will push them aside for 'family' pics! :) (NT) -- Ceilidh, Mon, November 17 2008, 8:00:48
          • They are adorable boys! We could never get DD to visit Santa - I only have pictures of my DSons. (NT) -- MaryJ, Mon, November 17 2008, 9:20:53

  • Hand dryer appreciation day.... well.... I don't appreciate the ones that about blast my skin off! Nor do I like toilets that burst my eardrum to hear them flush!!!! (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Mon, November 17 2008, 7:59:26
    • Piper, ye dinna like the "exfoliating" hand dryers? btw, I apologize for not sending Jamie to you yesterday, but I still have a few things on my "to do Jamie" list. I should be finished by Thursday, so I will make his flight reservation for Friday and will e-mail it to you. If he gets a case of the jitters, I may have to escort him myself. Poor thing... for as big a man as he is, he's a wee scaredy cat. LOL (NT) -- ladyphantom, Mon, November 17 2008, 9:17:12
      • Ok about Jamie.... I have Ioan with me at the moment! Will be happy to visit Jamie on his way to Canada tho! (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Mon, November 17 2008, 11:00:22
        • Ioan, as in Gruffudd? Maybe we can work out a deal, then... seeing as Ioan is one of my favorites! btw, has he been added to our sword-y list? (NT) -- ladyphantom, Mon, November 17 2008, 14:04:33
          • Yes.. that is him... Yes, he is on the list! : ) I just got him yesterday... maybe we could work out a deal. ; ) (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Mon, November 17 2008, 14:33:32
            • Piper, has Ioan recited poems to you in Welsh yet? I saw a video on youtube and it was wow!!!! (NT) -- ladyphantom, Tue, November 18 2008, 6:16:40
  • Guess I'll make bread tonight (an every other week event at my house because I have to eat gluten-free and the GF bread from healthfood stores is ridiculously priced ($5.69/loaf) and is awful to boot). If anyone else has Celiac and wants to try my bread recipe, let me know (I'm trying to figure out a way to market it, but need to know it's really good--not just good to me!). (NT) -- GenevieveF, Mon, November 17 2008, 8:10:53
    • GenevieveF - I'll try it. I'm not sensitive to gluten myself but know a boy who is. I can at the least try it and tell you I like it, too. Inside for email >>> -- kgp, Mon, November 17 2008, 10:30:35
    • I'd like to try it too... I haven't done gluten in about two years... Thanks, doll! ;o) (NT) -- LindaT, Mon, November 17 2008, 11:48:49
      • Hey Ladies, you might want to try one of these, come inside for a link>>>> -- Whiskey Eyes, Mon, November 17 2008, 15:20:11
        • Thanks, my friend! Now if only I could make my challah bread gluten-free! ;o) (NT) -- LindaT, Mon, November 17 2008, 20:22:18
      • Hi kpg & LyndaT...Sorry for the delay in responding, but it was a hellish day and I just checked the Social Board and saw your replies to my message. I've just e-mailed the recipe to you, kpg. LyndaT, can you let me know your e-mail addie and I'll send you a copy, too? I've been gluten-free for just about 2 years, too. Do you have Celiac? (NT) -- GenevieveF, Tue, November 18 2008, 17:08:09
    • If your bread is anything like the yummy cookies you brought to Betsy's it must be great. (NT) -- HollyC, Mon, November 17 2008, 13:31:55
      • Thanks, HollyC! The macaroons are easy because they have almost no flour at all. Bread is a whole nuther story! (And, I find that I am a very unhappy person if there isn't bread I can eat in my house...must be my Italian heritage at work!) (NT) -- GenevieveF, Tue, November 18 2008, 17:13:21
  • That's interesting, I live 15 mintues from Montague Michigan and I didn't know they had a Homemade Bread Committee....the things you learn on this board. (NT) -- Colly, Mon, November 17 2008, 8:48:40
    • Shoot, I lived IN Montague for four years and never knew about the bread committee! I can say for certain, though, that they never advertised in the Beacon (the local, weekly paper). *g* (NT) -- Lady_Jane, Mon, November 17 2008, 20:43:25
      • LOL, I'm actually impressed with the Beacon these days, it's pretty impressive, even color photos!! (NT) -- Colly, Tue, November 18 2008, 7:35:21
  • Hello Lallybroch - I'm back! (I'm sure nobody missed me, but I missed this place!!) I've been sick as a DOG - never, ever, been so sick in my entire life, even missed a whole WEEK of work! But, I'm upright, showered, somewhat presentable, and may just make it through the entire day!! *g* (BTW, my trivia score for the month SUCKS - couldn't even drag the laptop out every day while I was "down.") I had Christmas cards, TONS of holiday preps and crocheting to do - and not a single thing got done. Ugh. (NT) -- ScarlettO, Mon, November 17 2008, 9:06:11
    • {{{{{{{Scarlett}}}}}}} (NT) -- LindaT, Mon, November 17 2008, 9:12:59
    • CathrynL - sorry to shout, wanted to express my condolences on the loss of Grandpa H. I didn't see your post until today. (((((((((((Cathryn & family))))))))))) (NT) -- ScarlettO, Mon, November 17 2008, 9:29:33
      • Thanks Scarlett. He's no longer suffering, so that's good I guess. I hope you're feeling better now, too. I assumed it was the flu. P.S. JIC you're still thinking about a BR run, that 1st Sat in Dec is free afterall (my rehearsal's on Sunday). If not, that's fine too. P.P.S: You're STILL ahead of me on the Trivia, & I've not been sick. *G* (NT) -- Cathryn_L, Mon, November 17 2008, 10:05:37
    • Glad you are feeling better, Scarlett! Some nasty colds, flu & stomach viruses running around this season. (NT) -- TheresaS, Mon, November 17 2008, 12:20:17
      • Thanks, Ladies - I had a wicked little "stomach bug" - which morphed into a horrible thing called a Stephens-Johnson Reaction (or Syndrome) - where your immune system goes bonkers and basically attacks your own body. My biggest problem was a fever, horrible horrible muscle and joint aches, and - the very worst of all - the ENTIRE inside of my mouth broke out in canker sores. >>>>>>>>>>inside this is getting long -- ScarlettO, Mon, November 17 2008, 15:15:15
    • I missed you Scartlett! Glad you're feeling better. There's a cold/sore throat thing going around where I live, I'm having chicken soup now. (NT) -- HollyC, Mon, November 17 2008, 13:28:25
    • Scarlett....have you considered living in a bubble??! LOL, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so lousy. I'm going to be in town tomorrow for one of DS's dr appts. He's feeling crappy too....are you anywhere near 44th and Clyde Park? (NT) -- Colly, Tue, November 18 2008, 7:37:01

    • Do you know anything about a virus that comes in an e-mail dressed as a "Hallmark Card from a friend"? Someone sent me one but I was afraid to open it coz I heard about this e-card virus. any truth to the rumor? (NT) -- JudyL, Mon, November 17 2008, 16:04:28
      • Judy... check with Hallmark's website. They have info there... I saw it when I sent an ecard to my boss. http://www.hallmark.com (NT) -- Piper-Mom, Mon, November 17 2008, 16:24:54
      • Do NOT Open It!!! Someone got it at work and its one of those that goes out to every email in your address book. There is a fix for it on Malware, but how time consuming! (NT) -- madelyn, Tue, November 18 2008, 4:43:08
        • Thanks for confirming my suspicions, ladies. Glad I deleted it. after a while you just start to recognize these things - osmosis I guess. Thanks! (NT) -- JudyL, Tue, November 18 2008, 5:43:47

It's 10:45 a.m. and it looks like we're on the verge of sunset. There is no immediate threat to us unless the Brea fire burns west through a wilderness corridor. I will keep you updated.

    • Our neighborhood was like that yesterday. The Sylmar fire came within about a mile of our house. 10,000 people were evacuated, 500 homes burned, many of them in the Oak Ridge Mobile Home park, belonging to senior citizens. They barely got out with their lives, it moved so fast! The air smells like burnt things, still. Stay safe. (NT) -- Lemora, Sun, November 16 2008, 19:47:23

• Celtic Journeys! -- Judie, Sat, November 15 2008, 9:45:12

  JudyL is just TOO modest. She got some fabulous recognition for her tour in a newspaper - and she put a little blurb in the Bulletin Board.
  
  HELLO IN THERE! This is big news!!!!!!!!! We need a big post here!
  
  JudyL is one of the LOL advertisers. There is a funny story to go with this. Back in whatever year it was *G* (might have been 2003), Judy approached me when she was still with Celtic Dream Tours, and asked if she could advertise at LOL. Well, I had no clue who she was and I was worried about scammers and such promoting to the gang and them possibly getting ripped off. How would I know! So I gave her quite the runaround, apparently, cause I don't even remember the details myself - hahahahaha.
  
  Anyway, this article is great and if anyone ever wanted to know about Judy's tours, it's a very information and A++++++ article about them.
  
  I'll be adding this to the site, somewhere, Judy. :D

  • Judy, I know I'll go on one of your tours in the future. I've been debating on getting a total ankle replacement - this seems like a really good reason to get one. Hopefully that will allow me to go and take advantage of all the great stuff on your tour. So . . . save me a place for some time in the near (I hope) future. *G* (NT) -- CathyS, Sat, November 15 2008, 19:59:27
  • Yes, I can testify that Jusy's Outlander trip is great! For those on a tight budget, I suggest planning for it definitely in your future. It's well worth it! I took the tour two years ago and that entire vacation is at the top of the list of all my holidays for enjoyment. (NT) -- Ron, Sun, November 16 2008, 9:18:44

  • Any John Hamm or Mad Men fans out there? You might want to pick up a copy of the newest Entertainment Weekly (the one with Robert Downey Jr on the cover). There is a great write up about John and a to-die-for picture of him. Seriously, it made me forget to breathe for a second. If I wasn't such a loyal fictional wife to George, I'd so dump him for John. He is too dreamy for words. Would it be bad to have a movie star husband and a tv star husband? (NT) -- RisaB, Sat, November 15 2008, 6:18:21
    • Jon Hamm *THUD*. I will have to pick up a copy. I taped the second season of MM, but I can't watch it until I've seen the entire first season. I watched 5 episodes during a marathon, but need to start from the beginning. I love the show and Jon Hamm is beautiful! (NT) -- ladyphantom, Sat, November 15 2008, 7:41:00
    • I LOVE Mad Men and Jon Hamm. That show is brilliant, I love the costumes and hair styles, office politics and misogynist attitudes. But Jon Hamm makes all that badness better -- when he takes off his shirt, I lust. (NT) -- Merrymags, Sat, November 15 2008, 10:29:00

  • Morning, ladies. My brother's family arrived last night from Richmond. My DS and nephew are huge World of Warcraft fans. Well, at 1:00 am, I went to bed and told them that bedtime was 1:30 am. Did that happen? No! DH woke me up at 5:45 because he heard voices. The boys were still up. When I firmly told them to log off and get to bed, they both responded "we're not tired". Unbelievable! DS's bday party is tonight.... boys will be exhausted. Serves them right... goofballs! (NT) -- ladyphantom, Sat, November 15 2008, 7:46:32

• Wonderful sight ! -- Kirsty (Ladykirsty@aol.com), Sat, November 15 2008, 4:39:25
  I had a fairly calm day yesterday, just a few difficult moments with the DH who was definitely 'away with the fairies' due to his dementia. I did a bit painting for an hour and then last night I sat outside, the crickets were chirping, it was warm and I had a wonderful view of the shuttle going up. It never fails to give me a thrill even though we are miles north of the launch site we can see it clearly. God's speed and come back safely!

    • I used to LOVE ER with a passion, however, the stupid TV channel that showed it here took it off air MID-SEASON about 4 years ago and when they FINALLY brought it back again many months later, it was on a night when I couldn't watch, so I lost interest. :-( I got up to the part where Abbie and Luka found out they were expecting a baby. (NT) -- Leigh, Thu, November 13 2008, 16:58:29
      • How strange, that's exactly what happened to me in France! I'm at exact the same point of the storyline. It used to be my favourite show and now I haven't watched it in years. :-(( (NT) -- Pat, Thu, November 13 2008, 23:29:14
      • Same here in Western Aust. Its sickening how the TV stations play fast and loose with the viewers! Last night I missed This is your Life cos the TV programme said another one but they've shifted the other one to a later timeslot. Hmph! I meant to phone up and complain this morning but forgot cos had to go off to chiro. Will do so on Monday! Thts what we need to do - stand up and COMPLAIN all the time til they get the mesage!
