OK kids, I'm outta here! Have a safe and Happy New Year!
Be careful...
Just found this site that has downloadable vintage recipe books! Very cool. We only had Minute Rice when I was growing up, and only margarine, never real butter, oh and Miracle Whip!!
http://www.minuterice.com/en-us/content/1049/VintageRecipe.aspx
Ice Skating anyone? Just passed the local mall at lunch and they have the outdoor skating rink set-up...in 78 degrees. Yep, people were there with hats and scarves on. I guess it's fun to pretend it's cold??
Only in CA would people think it's fun to pretend to be cold.
Yes, we are special that way...
Can 'Ya get me some ice for my beer cooler? Watch that girl in the Tutu-she thinks she is Nancy Kerrigan.
I'll scrape some of that ice up for your beer...should be really tasty after people skating on it or worse, skidding on their butts on it.
Is this Nancy before or after the unfortunate knee-capping incident?
My Dearest Fearless Leaders.......
You both have given us a lot of leeway on many subjects and I truly appreciate that. I do have one question that I hope you can answer.....Does CNN support Sophos? Just wondering because of the weird word catchings or Webster Dictionary words that are constantly flagged. Love you both and Happy New Year.
OOOOOP's....Wrong question at this time to ask so it doesn't appear in the comment section? Hmmmm...Does WordPress run this Blog? Just asking?
I'm not sure what comment section you're looking at but I see it just fine.
You have lovely eyes.
To clarify which I always have to do. The SOPA Act which has been pushed into next year.Does CNN support this legislation? Just wondering and sleep tight.
Just wondering...Does anyone else here at the Lounge have a MAC?
Did I say a Bad Word? Where's the ModBotz?
No Mac here, but I have heard great things about them...
And it feels like a quiet week here in the Klatch...
No MAC here either... Though I did have one of the originals back in my advertising days...for a whopping $10k! :) Most businesses have PC's so that is what I got used to and use at home. But I do have an IPhad!! LOL
Sorry my Brother,I had to put the Pretty Ladies first in the headlines. Just trying to figure out some glitches that I keep getting......here in the Klatsch.
No MAC's, here either.
BTW, there's a huge bruhaha over on the religion thread. Work was boring and the comments were pretty interesting.
http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/29/my-take-the-3-biggest-biblical-misconceptions/
This is a Food Blog...I just could NOT give a realistic view on religion since Pope John Paul was my Cousin. Yes, Polacks stick together till all the gnocchi is eaten.
No worries, Mate. I'm not getting religious or political on a food blog. I was letting folks know about some, uh, red seas that were getting mightily stirred up in a different part of the playground.
Thank You, Seriously. A question should always be answered, even if it is from The Moody Blues. We always Knock at the Door.
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.
My guitar is bigger.
My bass goes deeper.
Even after two heart attacks-Please blow my flute.
Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper are reported to be dating.
Ummm...was it the Thigh Master?
Wachoo doin' way down here? Were you bad?
It's an Info-Mercial...CNN always puts us at the bottom. :((
And here I thought you, especially, liked being on the bottom.
Good day all. Today's lunch is office holiday potluck take 2. Everyone brought in a lot of food, so they set up the leftovers in a conference room.
BTW- did anyone catch the PR train wreck of Ocean Marketing? Bad customer service brings the ire of the internet upon one idiot.
Well, my boss is letting me leave early before the big boss comes back tomorrow. Have a great afternoon everybody!!
That is one cute penguin!
Well, just checked the forecast and no snow expected in NY on Sunday, but in Ulan Bator, the high is expected to be -1, with a low of 26 below tomorrow night. Suddenly I feel downright fortunate...
Dang,that sounds like a 3 Big Dog night on the bed to me.
Good (still) morning from the DMV. I am working from home today so I have furry minions helping me enter data :-)
Also have some sour cream bread baking so that should be ready in time for lunch
SF vs. STL: I like the song "If You're Going to San Francisco" better than "Meet Me in St. Louis" so 49ers all the way!
Indy vs. Jacksonville: Didn't we already play them? Normally I go for the alliterative pick but we seem to be on a winning streak. Go Colts!
Dallas vs. NYG: Stars are pretty. Go Cowboys!
Tenn vs. Houston: Oooooo, the state that got the Oilers vs. the town that lost them. I don't know of many T!tans from Tennesee but you know, they have the alliteration going for them.
Ok, then I will go with:
SanFrancisco
Jacksonville
New York Giants
Houston
I gotz to get back in the game soooooo,here we goooooo...
1. SF 49'ers
2. Jacksonville–I'm surprised the Dolts can even find Jacksonville,much less a football.
3. In Honor of My Brother Truth–NYGiants and I hope it is snowing.
4. In a squeeker-Houston Oilers–I mean Texans. Big game played in and won by Houston.
Let it be Written...Let it be so.
Looks like I'm gonna copy y'alls papers and make the same picks.
San Fran over Steelers
Jacksonville over Indy
Giants over Dallas
Houston over Tenn
Morning Lil' Buddy–CLEAN THOSE GLASSES! Ha-it's the St. Louis Rams so they should win any way. What's up in Virginny?
Haha! My bad! Not much doing here in VA. Taking care of a bunch of loose ends before our hell months, January and February. How much do you pay for diesel in your nect of the woods. I see it is up to 4.53 in Richmond.
DayUmm–Youse Guys is proud of the GOGO juice. It's averaging $ 3.65 to $ 3.75 in Texas and about the same in Alabama. I always try to fuel up in either place just in case. You gonna get to see the Dallas game on Sunday? They moved it to prime time on NBC.
Looking VERY forward to the NYG-DAL game here. New Year's, so there is no bowling on Sunday night. Will be nice to light a fire, and watch the game in its entirety.
And diesel is running $3.69 a gallon here, while unleaded is about go under three bucks again. Not that I really care.
Maybe 3.53 is what I saw. I'll double check that on the way home. I paid 2.99 a gallon on Tuesday for gas and the next day it went up to 3.14. You betcha on the Dallas game. It should be a tight game.
Good morning, glories! I got to drive by a crime scene this morning and judging by the Coroner's van, I'm guessing a homicide. Ahhhh, the joys of driving through the 'hood on the way to work.
Soooo,You actually saw this while
a. putting on your make up.
b. doing the butt shimmy to a song on the radio.
c. eating an apple fritter and
d. steering the car with your left knee?
I am impressed my Darling.
things I don't miss about Indy...
altho i will be there this year in August from the 14th-19th I think, just not in the 'hood
Good morning all!
Downright balmy at 46 degrees in Denver. Odd for late December, but go figure.
How is everyone doing today?
Good Morning Bro...The Queen is having a Blonde Moment,but will post picks shortly. This should be interesting. It's going to hit the low 70's down here for the next several days. Crazy weather.
GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN!
We're supposed to be in the 50's this weekend but expecting a high of 25 on Monday. Me thinks Mother Nature needs to up her meds.
High 65; low 45; 0% chance of rain. Dead rats aside, looks like a Chamber of Commerce day.
Truth, how many more free days do you have 'til school starts?
20 counting today. D-Day for me is 17 January. Sleep is so overrated anyway...:)
We are heading for 78 degrees today with a low of 45. And they wonder why people get sick...
I WANNA GO.....Note to self..JBJ is on the naughty list for one FULL Year.
And just why am I on said naughty list? Well, as long as I am off the list by next Christmas, I am good with that!
Let's see....I cannot set foot into California because of a Stooooopid Lane Violation ticket from back in 1989..I might pay that someday...NOT. Take that MoonBeam. Besides, Santa Paws asked me to start a list early this year and carry over until next year. You should be proud...
Well, all you Happy Chumarinos/Happy Klatchkies (spel chek suggestion for this word was "scratchiness!!)"...er Klatchtsers (spel chek suggestion for this word was "watchstraps!")...I will be incommunicado until next week whist we are gonzo in Vegas. Hugs and Cheers to everyone!
Nice! Have a wonderful trip! Please tell us what you can when you get back. Not everything that happens in Vegas HAS to stay in Vegas. ;)
I will gladly share the "wealth" as much as I can here! You got it!
Don't stop there....it's bat county.
No one got my Fear and Loathing reference :( Jdizze would have gotten it :(
I looked it up, but since I hadn't seen the movie, I opted for the music reference instead. I wasn't exposed to Hunter S. in a way that would make me appreciate his work. Maybe someday ....
Have fun! We are leaving in the morning, but will only go to state line for 2 nights. We watched The Hangover last night, oh what a night they had in Vegas...LOL

EXCELLENT comment. Artistic, MOVING, and I really get it!
Bravo!
Oooo! Ahhh! Ohhh! *applause*
Glad you like. I found this early this morning on the internets and people posting were referring to it being a meme. Not sure what that means but it is eye catching.
Good Morning All....Stoooopid fog and people that DON'T drive with their headlights turned on. Glad I adjusted the brakes on Big Blue over the weekend. Is it Friday YET??
It's Friday for me. Good morning! How close did you come?
If you figure out a way to get those wingnuts to turn on their lights in the fog, please lemme know. Maybe I can use your method on the dumba$$es around here to keep their lights on at dawn & dusk.
It was this (-) close......WD had a rude wake up call from the sleeper. Unless it's a State Law with signs posted these Nutzaks will never understand. :(( Only in Houston where you can get a Drivers License out of a Cracker Jack Box.
Moderated for Nutzaks....Seriously??
Dang! That's too close! Isn't it soon supposed to become a standard feature that your headlights automatically come on when you use your windshield wipers? I've been hearing about that for a few years and haven't seen it yet. When that happens, I hope all the nutjobs (nutsacks? Really?) who wouldn't have turned their headlights on in the first place, forget to turn them off.

G'morning happy Klatchers! Our sweet lady-buyer & I were greeted first thing this morning by a rat in a glue trap – still alive of course. She wanted him freed from the trap somewhere outside. I wanted him gone – in any sense of the word. I nicely asked our lab guy to please dispose of the critter and I don't care how he does it. Lady-buyer says, "Whaddya mean you have to kill him?!? Just take him outside and get him off!"
I haven't stopped laughing.
I give up.....how DO you"get a rat off?"
(bada bing, rim shot)
Thanks to you I have now had my AM laugh though my coffee didn't quite come out my nose.............Cheers!
