A place for random thoughts....

I'm driving the F-150 now, it's for sale also. Want it? :lol: No Seriously!

5.4 V8 Triton Engine!!!! Whoooo.... pretty..... :mrgreen:

It's kinda funny, I get more looks in the F-150 than I did in my maxima :?

It's gonna suck real bad when I have to fill that ***** up tomorrow morning.

 

I dont think i have ever driven in rain coming down as hard as it was on my way home from work tonight! (around 1 am) and i have driven through hurricanes! Glad to finally be home!

HG, I'm probably going to be sorry, but we have decided to fix our spare car instead of selling it. Had a buyer coming TODAY to get it and hadn't even advertised it. Got to looking on CL last night and I'd be stupid to sell it for what I was going to with the junk that was on there.

 

I completely understand.
We went and looked at a truck this am in SIMMS, NC (1 hr away) and the DF didn't even put gas in it? :? Stalled about 25 times on DH and just to get it ready for hunting season would have been $2K, he wanted $2500???

RIGHT!!!!

 

ok i just gotta say i am loving my new office. Yesterday my first full day here and i got to go home for lunch, my dogs & birds were loving me and today, cause the IT guy was on the way, ran to CDH to get lunch to go and it took me a whole 3 minutes to get there. i feel like i have gained 2 extra hours per day in my life:hurray:

 

You lucky duck!

 

i seriously feel so lucky but i put in 3 long years to get it and i was determined to get it so i pulled every string i could:lol:

 

Wow......

You're MOM of the YEAR!!

 

Why is it so hard to find an Obituary online? I don't want to pay to look at it!

 

If you know the funeral home, that's often the easiest place to go. I have McLaurin's as one of my "favorites".

 

It's from 1992.

 

Good god, the dog hair ... :ack::ack:

Guess what I'll be doing today? :cheers:

 

Uhhhhhh..... Havin' a little "Hair of the Dog"?

 

Thunder Thunder Thunder......

 

I should have looked at that before we left for the pool.

In other news, do you know you can make microwave popcorn with reg popcorn? I don't care for microwave popcorn, the chemicals, additives, etc. And it can get pricey.

1/2 C kernels
1 t oil
1 t salt

Put in brown paper bag

Nuke 2.5-3 minutes

 

My grandmother used to do that before there was such a thing as Microwave Popcorn. Used to do it in her "radar range" by Raytheon. My grandfather had to buy her one of those just as soon as they hit the market. Infact... somewhere in her box of cookbooks that I've got, there is probably still the Radar Range Cookbook! :shock:

 

If you're not emotionally attached to it, I bet a collector would pay some $$ for it.

 

Unfortunately I am attached to all my grandmothers clipped recipes and cookbooks... I think my mom gave her the Radar Range cookbook for a present. I was just going through one box that is on my bookshelf... old green cookbooks...no pictures hardly, dating back to the early 1940's. You can tell which was her most prized, the cover is taped to the binding in several places, and pages are loose.

I've yet to figure out her secret to the Penuche recipe though.... one of my cousins is workin' on it now that she is home with a baby.

 

I would be too tassy, I have (and use) my grandmother's canning book from the 40's.

 

Ya'll are making me notalgic! When DH's grandmother passed a couple years ago, we ended up with some of her serving dishes and I got her great big canning pressure cooker. I use the serving dishes and although I may never need the canner, I'm keeping it in memory of all those fantastic meals she fixed.
