I did email Lickety over the weekend but I guess he hasn't seen it. I'll email him again later.
12:19 am

grannyrose
*licks sprite's palm* yum... salt...

OK but you can peel it off. Not into inflicting pain.

*moustache*
2:02 am

2:12 am

I know about that... from the books by Dick Francis.
2:13 am
Lizlin
No interest in any kind of racing - Melbourne cup, ascot, derby included.
2:13 am
grannyrose
meanwhile.. back at the ranch... we are going to a plant nursery. i want to start a hedge across the front of our property with daisies, all different colours.
2:14 am
sprite
me neither, but reading about it in Francis's books is quite another thing. Very interesting.
2:14 am
sprite
oh how lovely, rose. Sounds brilliant
2:15 am
Lizlin
Sounds lovely. We’ve been harvesting blueberries, courgettes, cucumbers and herbs we’ve grown. Other salad stuff too. So yummy growing our own stuff.
2:15 am
grannyrose
and i have persuaded Don that the front lawn needs to be planted with roses and crepe myrtles of as many different colours as we can find.
2:17 am
grannyrose
anything to reduce the amount of grass which needs to be mown.
2:18 am
grannyrose
lizgirl.. you will never know just how much i envy you both for being able to grow so many veggies.
2:19 am
Lizlin
We’re still experimenting. Seeing what will cope in the heat here.

I finished my workshop for the heart-academy yesterday, so today is nails. Also cooked curry for two days, so no cooking chores and no groceries either. Walking Terra... maybe cleaning out a part of the cupboard under the stairs... putting away all the laundry I folded.

I thought that only happened when we lose an hour
8:24 am
rururocks
didn't we just lose an hour?
8:26 am
MollyL
No, when you turn the clocks back you gain an hour. 2 AM suddenly becomes 1 AM. Magic.
8:27 am
MollyL
You lose an hour if you turn them ahead. I know, its counter intuitive.

We "fall" back in the Fall. We "spring ahead" in Spring.

8:31 am
MollyL
Ooo, did you buy anything?
8:31 am
Judi
I bought a Pyrex butter dish and a tanned deer hide.
8:31 am
Judi
The cats were wigged out by the deer hide.
8:32 am
rururocks
they probably thought they were next :D
8:32 am
Judi
I was looking for a trencher / dough bowl. Saw a few, but they were either re-pops, too small, too damaged and/or over priced.
8:33 am
origami
butter dish and deer hide are two objects I never expected to see in the same sentence.
8:33 am
Judi
It's a rather small hide (no head attached, thankfully). And there is a bullet hole in the rear flank. Someone was a very bad shot.
8:33 am
rururocks
judi wants to make a loin cloth for her husband
8:34 am
MollyL
Ah Pyrex. I remember a Pyrex Percolator living in our kitchen for a long time.
8:34 am
Judi
The hide does still have the tail attached. The dog gave it an experimental/playful nip (just a taste test).
8:35 am
rururocks
that's more than a little creepy judi .. jmo
8:35 am

There is a store in Havre de Grace, MD called JoeRetro. It's about 805% Pyrex. Other cool stuff too.

Cake place??? Why, no. But we did find an awesome wine bar.
8:39 am

8:40 am

Probably best that we did not discover the cake place.

how about ebay? my bf found his on ebay for lots less $$
9:00 am
welki
nope, that's not what i have (which is a shame, since i want to get rid of it - and the hand painted italian glazed dinnerware)
9:00 am
72 Temple Owl
there is some but the cost to ship is high, negating savings. and no warranty
9:00 am
Judi
Looks like it's a discontinued pattern. Try Craigslist or shopgoodwill.com.
9:00 am
72 Temple Owl
most people think of the yorktown pattern
9:01 am
72 Temple Owl
it waS sold in gimbels here. you would think there would be more around. i have to put up an ad i craiglist
9:02 am
72 Temple Owl
if i love my dinnerware, why buy new? i will probably pay the exorbitant cost at replacements.
9:02 am
Judi
I remember Pfaltzcraft as being pretty hefty stuff. My sister had some. Never really appealed to me. I'm a Fiesta girl myself.
9:02 am

Gimbels!! In 1967 ...my first time in NYC.....I roamed around the store, then was ready to leave and couldn't find the exit....a bunch of construction in the store......soooo I asked a salesperson where the exit was......her response: you found your way in, you can find your way out......

i have so much old stuff that i need to purge from the house - dozens of pieces of hammered aluminum, for instance
9:09 am
72 Temple Owl
i have a sugar and creamer. they are not worth anything in these parts. i am also cleaning things out.
9:09 am
rururocks
i have no idea what hammered aluminum is
9:10 am
welki
no, as you try to downsize, you'll find that the things you found near and dear are pretty much worthless
9:10 am
72 Temple Owl
ok i think it's time to venture out into the dreary cold rainy day.
9:10 am
Judi
I'll bet hammered aluminum could be taken to the scrap yard in exchange for cash.
9:11 am
welki
not a bad idea - salvage the crap out of it
9:11 am
72 Temple Owl
i did leaves yeesterday to avoid having to do them all in a hurry before the lawn folks come to lime.
9:11 am
72 Temple Owl
good thought. aluminum brings a good rate
9:12 am
welki
or, donate it all
9:12 am
Judi
I'm full of good advice. Ask me anything (after I've had my coffee).
9:12 am
72 Temple Owl
yes. though donations are not worth anything with new tax law
9:13 am
welki
i have an ethan allen dining room set (was my grandmother's) - solid maple with hand blown glass doors on the hutch - none of the kids want it - 2 mission oak rockers (one stickley, one limbert) - ditto
9:13 am
72 Temple Owl
at least, for me. unless i buy a new house.
9:13 am
rururocks
<---not fond of ethan allen look
9:14 am
Judi
If you really want to get rid of things, put them out at the curb and post a curb alert on Craigslist.
9:14 am
welki
neither am i, ru - but when granny died, it became mine
9:14 am
72 Temple Owl
i hear this a lot, welk. kids would rather have ikea. but later, i wonder if they will regret.
9:14 am
Judi
Ikea is crap.
9:14 am
welki
and i admit it looks nice in the dining room, along with her ancient secretary (filled with books (also worthless) from the 1800s)
9:15 am
72 Temple Owl
my friends put all their sutff out on craigs list, moved into an apartment and do the snowbird thing. i've considered that.
9:15 am
72 Temple Owl
yes but stylish crap. :0
9:15 am
rururocks
I'm not an Ikea fan either
9:16 am
welki
oh judi! when i lived back east, folks in the rich part of brooklyn (on ocean avenue) would put their stuff out on wednesdays! bonanza
9:16 am
72 Temple Owl
there is a colony of jersey expats near naples in fla
9:16 am
welki
ocean parkway, not avenue
9:17 am
72 Temple Owl
yes, you can furnish a whole apartment with those discards. stylishly.
9:18 am
welki
so, what i'll do is sell what i can, bring a bunch of stuff to the goodwill and call the local dream centre to pick up the rest
9:18 am
72 Temple Owl
is moving in the cards?
9:19 am
Trifioso
sounds like a solid plan, welki. I have sooo much stuff to purge it's not even funny
9:19 am
welki
probably within the next couple of years - empty this place out, update a little, move to the lake and sell
9:19 am
Judi
I have NO problem buying or using used furniture. Consignment shops are another option - when buying or trying to sell.
9:20 am
Judi
I have no kids to give anything to. My nephews might want some of it when we move to AZ some day .
9:20 am
72 Temple Owl
happy babbling, all, i am heading out.
9:21 am
Trifioso
I struggle with some guilt feelings when donating things that were family items, but I am getting better at it thank GOODNESS for the new local thrift stores, they assauge a lot of that guilt - if I feel someone else will use it, and it is not adding to landfills, I am much happier
9:22 am
welki
when i first moved here, i had nothing. i got a lot of my stuff from a really nice thrift store - they'll be getting most of my stuff, i think. but i, too, have a problem parting with sentimental items
9:23 am
welki

Good for you NANCY. This will be the 2nd election in a row now for which I will not be an election judge in over 30 years. Last time, I thought, great, finally a chance to actually watch the returns! Got really comfy, ready for a nice evening, a Hilary win & instead, I ended up watching a horror movie. I hope tomorrow goes much better. If not, I'm signing up to be a judge again. Long day though!

NANCY - hat's off to you. I don't know where you're at, but here, in Chicago, every single election, they change something up & then there's a class (good $ for the class, helps make up for the 50 cents/hour day), but still . . . it's always new stuff, new procedures. We had a consistent crew of 3, we got along great, shored up each other's strengths & weaknesses - like clockwork. That's so great when you work well together with your fellow judges. I hope you have a smooth day.
