Posted by   ( ) on Nov-21-09 at 19:08:41 PST   Listings Well, today was not my day for saving money. I have got to stay away from these trunk shows! And Walmart. I found some pez material, but couldn't justify buying that any way I tried. I already spent $700 on an embroidery club membership for a year. I must be nuts. But in all fairness I am almost finished with a beautiful fleece baby blanket for my friends son's to be soon wee one. I will post it on my blog one of these days. Well, duh, have to finish it first. I been hanging a little on the jewelry board and i am here to tell you, those people chat a lot. I don't have time to keep up with them! I just used up a whole spool of pink thread. This is going to get expensive! Is Allie in California now? Her airplane scared me when I turned on this site and it flew up at me. I scare easy! I have to take a little run to Las Animas and drop a daughter off there so she can go to Lakin for a few days. Another daughter will pick her up in Las Animas and take her to Lakin and then bring her out here Tuesday. Gets complicated when kids don't have cars,but want to go somewhere. Penny's geese are getting very mean. I think she is going to eat them. My geese are not mean and I think it is because of my pond. I am trying to stay away from the estate sales since I bought that 4 tons of junk jewelry. I am flat out of room in this house! Going to go forage in the refrigerator. Must be something in there to eat. Wish me luck! Lou

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-21-09 at 15:17:11 PST   Listings Lou ==Please let me know when you have the Elvis seed catcher listed. I still get chills when I hear him sing!! Such a waste of a very handsome and talented man! Oh- My! Oh- My! I have a co-worker whose DD LOVES Elvis and she is only 10 yrs. old. Her Mother had me make her an Elvis Tote Bag and anything else that I can put him on. Doris== The cherry bars sound soooo good. HD doesn't like cherries so I never fix anything with them in it. Get them hot! and put a little vanilla ice-cream on it and DIG IN_____WOW SO GOOD!! Yes I am using Photobucket I am not Coping the pic right some how. But I will get it right one day? By accident! LOL! Oh my the weather has been beautiful the last couple of days! I did alot of Spring cleaning today. I told HD " I haven't cleaned this much in one day in quite some time!! I said to him that since I had my eye surgery I can see so much better that I didn't realize how dusty everything was! I guess there is a price to pay for everything!I will be cleaning for some time yet!LOL! richarde13== I haven't heard of a washing machine shrinking anything unless it is made of some special material. But the dryer sure will! Hang it up to dry. JSAN== I don't like turkey or Chinese food. I use chicken instead. I guess I wasn't exposed to different foods growing up. We mostly had veggies and biscuits.The only meat we ever had was pork and beef. My Dad hated chicken or turkey. He wouldn't let Mom cook it in the house! When we had dressing my Dad would use the broth from the beef roast and believe it or not it was really good. Ever once and a while I still fix it that way . Reminds me of my childhood days!! Well I have to go and finish cleaning the front porch. Leaves and stuff everywhere and some spider webs I was using for Halloween. ROFL! So wishing you all great peace for tonight and tomorrow!!.... Cedar...

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-21-09 at 09:21:20 PST   Listings DORIS: LOL thinking of you standing out in the cold with your wine glass lifted to ALLIE! I am so glad she is going home, that will bring happiness to lots of folks at the Allieranch! Good that you got to see your friend before it was too late. Many times we put things like that off until it is too late. Sounds like your Thanksgiving will be a grande one. We will be going out for the holiday as kids are not home for this one. I tire of leftovers rather quickly. ha. We are having out of town company the day before so that will be enjoyable. LOU: I agree that your weaving should not be used as a tablecloth! A wall hanging would be perfect. Its hard to believe that folks used to do all that work for their winter wear. Sometimes it seems that life nowadays is too daggoned easy. Our young ones do not have the foggiest idea what life was like "back in the old days". CEDAR: It sounds like you do not have your pic uploaded right. Are you using Photobucket? If so, make sure you copy the HTML exactly or it will not work. One of these days, you will hit it lucky! ha. Well, I am way behind on catching up, so will hang it up for now. MD, gonna have Chinese food for dinner. Brought in of course. If good will add that place to the speed dial. ROFL. Y'all be good.~~~~~Jsan

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-21-09 at 06:28:00 PST   Listings HI----I heard ALLIES plane fly over just couldn't see it because of the fog...It's foggy here every morning and sometimes a lot of the day. Hope she made it home ok. Bet her own bed felt very good. I am baking a pan of Cherry Bars to take to the home of one of our Birthday Club girls...She passed away yesterday...I did stop in to see her on Thurs. but there was no response to speak of. So it was no surprise that she died the next morning....At least she went in peace after years of suffering with a back pain they could do nothing for...And a heart problem...On my list of the top 10 people in my lifetime that I consider "very nice people" she would rate there someplace. I just never can undersatnd how some people can be so nice. She was one of those...We will miss her. I was so happy that I stopped by to say good bye to her. Makes me feel good about that. It's till quite mild for Nov. in MN...So we have been doing a bit of running around getting a few things done before the big snows start to come...We will have Thanksgiving upstairs...Melissa "Grand Daughter" is bringing most of the food. I am going to make a small turkey too so that we have left overs.....I love left over Thanksgiving food. Must run for now...SBIT Doris

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-20-09 at 19:56:05 PST   Listings Allie: You will probably be posting again before most of us figure out you are gone.LOL Cedar: Thanks. I would be afraid to use this blanket for fear something would happen to it. Somebody thought it would make a nice tablecloth and I reminded them people spill stuff on tables. I think it would make a nice wall hanging. Strange to think that everything out forefathers had was handmade like this. They could not be picky! I have a fleece that my sister gave me and that is what I use at night. May need something more later, but it works for now. Bret has to be to work at 7:30 in the morning. The Anita Good demonstration is tomorrow. He was 2 hours late getting home tonight. He will really be tired tomorrow night. I made a seed catcher today with Elvis Presley on it. I haven't listed it yet. Got to wait till the time is right. I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow afternoon. LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-20-09 at 15:25:14 PST   Listings LOU== Your blanket is beautiful. I have just now clicked over to see it and looks like you did a terrific job. I really like the pattern you chose. Nice job! And yes you are right about the fleece. I have one and it is unreal how warm you are under such a lightweight thing. Congratulations on getting your pics posted. Allie= Wishing you a safe trip home! .....BBL....Cedar

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-20-09 at 05:52:26 PST   Listings Good morning to you all! We are supposed to have a nice day today, then turns to crap. I shall enjoy the day today. I need to get out there and run the mower and get the leaves up before snow comes and packs that down. The boy is feeling much better, because I took him to the doctor and the doctor said feed that boy some shorten' bread! Not really, just could not resist. He did say he had a cold which had made his asthma flare up. Gave him a nebulizer treatment in the office and was immediately better. Sent him home with new neb medicine, antibiotics and steroids. He thinks he will go in to work today and take the nebulizer with him. I have a very easy day planned. Linda will come this morning and work on her quilt and I will work on some of my shirt work downstairs where the quilter is so I can keep an eye on her! then I will go have lunch with my friend Tim, go by Hobby Lobby and get ribbon for the IDS Ribbons. See, every December 1 is World AIDS Day. We have a service somewhere (Museum this time) and it ends with writing someone who has passed with AIDS name on a red ribbon and hanging it on a tree. That is a good idea I am having! I will do a thing on my blog for 12/1 and post pictures of the AIDS Memorial Panels I have made. The luck I have with the posting of the pictures, I probably better get started! I been visiting over on the jewelry board and they seem like pretty nice people. I am going to get Linda online and get her involved over there, because her and her hubby did rocks, gems and jewelry until he passed last March. They were in Decatur and she moved back here. I am just full of good ideas this morning. Maybe I should go soak my head! You all have a lovely day and I will check in later tonight. LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-19-09 at 08:17:26 PST   Listings Doris: Thank You!! This one is a gift. It has mistakes. I will be making another one before Christmas, but something like this sell for anywhere from $200-300. I may make one to sell. We will see later. What is nice for watching tv is just go buy 1 1/2 yards of fleece. Fleece is 60' wide so that would give you a piece 60 x 49. Fleece does not need hemmed as it does not ravel, is light as a feather and you can get whatever design you want. LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-19-09 at 07:50:34 PST   Listings HI SPOOK----I had oil of cloves on hand for many years...I was told that it was good if you got a toothache...Well, I never used it and so I think I threw it out when we moved. I shall get some more today and have it on hand...Thanks much. LOU The blanket is really great!!! You got it done so soon. You must have worked day and night. It it going to be for sale? My bedroom is blue and I am always wishing I had a nice throw in there to cover me when I take a rest or watch TV....You sound like you do very well with your sales...Good for you... Should post more but have to hurry along today..Lunch to celebrate birthdays that have been put on hold...One member is now in the HOME and she will never be coming for lunch again...So sad. She was such a nice person..One other had a knee replacement and is now going places..So we can finally get together...We have been together since 1959 and there aren't many left of the big group we once had...Nice day again...SBIT Doris

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 23:21:12 PST   Listings The best thing to have on hand 4 a tooth pulling is (liquid) oil of cloves...That's what the specials told me to use & it worked great

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 19:43:06 PST   Listings It is a miracle!!! The blanket is published! blanket

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 19:24:28 PST   Listings Did you think I died? No, I have been busy and the online is goofing up. Have tried for 3 days to upload the blanket pictures and lord only knows where they go. It sure isn't where I want them to go. It is kind of cool here, but not bad. Had the weavers guild today and brought home a nice little check for $796.00. That means I sold $896. Pretty good weeks work. Then had the museum thingy with 30 kids today. Tomorrow is finalize for World AIDS Day. Then relax and get this computer like it is supposed to be. I know I did something wrong, just what I don't know. I did change which one is the hub and actually got a picture loaded on ebay, so maybe there is hope. Bret is sick again. He must like being sick. I got him to put the Vicks on the feet last night, or at least he said he did. Don't know if I can trust him or not, because it doesn't smell much like Vicks in there. He has to be well by Friday, because Jerry has Anita Good in the shop on Saturday. I am even going to that. Anita Good is an embroidery company that puts on lots of shows. Ok, I am out of here. Have a good evening and a happy, healthy tomorrow. LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 17:02:22 PST   Listings Judy= I beg to differ with you but poor Jan has given me written directions and more...I still can't get the pic to the board I got it to the pratice thingy but oh no not the board Somehow I'm not copying it in the right place? So just for now y'all can think of me as the old cave lady!Haa==Haa=Hee But I will suceed!! Someday!! I am the stuborn type! Thanks for the info though. LOL Doris== In this small town they don't pull jaw teeth anymore either. We have to go to oral surgeons about 50 miles in either direction also. He probably is thinking it can't hurt much more than the pain is now. I stayed out today . I had appt with eye Dr but I will have to go tomorrow. so I hope all of y'all have a peaceful night's rest and one Happy, Terrific Tomorrow!!..............Cedar.......Hello to all I missed

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 14:50:45 PST   Listings Doris, it is best that Bigfoot goes to the oral surgeon. The dentists around here won't pull any teeth any more, you have to go to the surgeon. I'll keep him in my prayers - there's nothing worse than dental pain! - but I agree with D2oris, he will come through fine and will be glad it's over. You are like Jsan, always thinking you are going to be old and crippled up and drooling in a nursing home! There is just a very small percentage of elderly who end up like that, and you are already proving you won't be in that small percentage! Cedar, LOL go to photobucket and they make it so easy even a cave man (or lady) can do it. We love having the little fella here but I'm not getting anything done and am totally exhausted. Allie, you & MOM are in my thoughts and prayers, too, and wishing for a safe trip home. Hard to believe how long it's been since you left there! Big Howdies to all, making dinner... Judy

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 10:51:41 PST   Listings Well Looks like I didn't get my pic on this time either. I am praticeing. Haa--Hee! Cedar I had my pic and everything on my pratice page but the pic just won't come here!!===Boo-Hoo!! Does the pic show up here where I am typing now? or not? up here in the purplelish box?.....Cedar....

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-17-09 at 19:37:31 PST   Listings Doris: It's good that DH is going to see an oral surgeon. I know it sounds scary, but my DH had much the same problem and the oral surgeon had it out in nothing flat. They gave him pain pills to take home, but he didn't need them at all. The worst part is the worry beforehand. I'm sure he'll do fine, we're all pulling for him. No pun intended! Rainy day here so I did some mall shopping. For gifts?? No, mostly for myself. Usually I just shop my own closets, but for some reason I found a few things that I thought should go home with me.... Take care all! D2oris, will never remember that! Doris Two

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-17-09 at 18:46:25 PST   Listings Hi---PICKER---I guess we were typing at the same time...Those youn'ens keep a person busy...At times we try to keep up with the great grands....They think everything should move like it does on TV...Of course they have no idea of what it is to be 86 years old. We are up and around and so we should be able to move fast!!!Even the great grands grow up very fast these days...One would think time would slow down when you get older but it isn't that way...We feel very fortunate that we can really enjoy the great grands. Never thought I would be here for that...Doris

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-17-09 at 18:38:11 PST   Listings HI----Well the Dental appointment was worse that we thought...Our dentist said it has to come out but he doesn't want to do it because he says he might get some of it out but it is going to crumble and then maybe Bigfoot would have to go to the Oral Surgeon anyway...So they took an X Ray and it has changed since they looked at it last time...They will send all the data to the Oral Surgeon and they will call us...Bigfoot said "It is coming out no matter what". So that's that. Our dentist said that it is way up there and the roots are close to the sinius {sp} place and he doesn't want to even try to take it out....So we have that to look forward to...There are Oral Surgeons in our next town so that isn't too bad... LOU----We used to have MD help people with their computers but he isn't on very often any more and I don't know if he still does that kind of doctoring....Wish I could send Mark over he is pretty good at fixing up mine when I get it goofed up... I think maybe that KAREN, with her little lappy and all the problems they seem to be having getting things up and going for them, has come across a good term for our DORIS TWO. It was a mis-type and it came out D2oris. I think I am going to use that if I can remember it...Sorry Karen that you are having troubles with all the electronic hook ups....It's all a mystery to me...But how wonderful when one gets it all together... CEDAR-----I am with you on the "need-----want" issue. Its hard to live with someone when he doesn't need anything and I want everything...Gee, I figure I am not going to be around much longer I want things now. When I am in the wheel chair or someplace and I don't know what's going on then I will be at the point where I don't think I need anything either..For now I shop all the time...Mostly by cagalog and the internet but I have packages coming all the time...Why Not? Our mail box is always over flowing...We are known as the "heavy mail" people out here...We share the mailbox with Mark and Lesley and both of them send for things often...Our mail boxes are not by our house. They are up on top of the hill...They are supposed to lock but we have gone thru several locks and so we just leave it unlocked and it is always hard to get the mail out of the box because of the Wall St. Journal and all the catalogs, small packages and of course bills and other first class mail...For bigger boxes they put them in another bigger mail box and leave a key in our box to open it...But sometimes they just give up and deliver the mail to our door...And yes, we do remember them at Christmas time...They get a tip...Why don't we have two mail boxes? I guess this in considered one unit and only one mail box per unit... HI ALLIE-----Hope its going well for you...Got your bag packed yet? At least we have tried really hard to have nice weather for you...Really it is nicer now than it was last summer...The sky was bright red out there at sunset time...Should mean another nice day tomorrow...Hi to all others....SBIT Doris

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-17-09 at 18:09:46 PST   Listings Oh, my! I scrolled back and I can't believe it has been 9 days since I posted! I want y'all to know I haven't forgotten you, I read the board every night on my cell before I go to sleep. We have 2-year-old grandson and I'm so tired I think I'm melting. One night I was reading the board, woke up the next morning and couldn't find my phone. It was under the bed. LOL Fell asleep with it in my hand and that's where it tumbled. Just want everyone to know I'm keeping up with all the news, just not able to share any. Y'all take care and I'll see you when I'm done playing at the park and pulling the wagon around every day. Let me tell ya, I'm happy as heck that I got those injections in my back or I wouldn't be surviving this! :O Kisa has been off but working outside cleaning the gutters, etc., but I think he's done so I should have a little spare time. *pant*pant*

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-17-09 at 17:55:01 PST   Listings I have been fighting with the computer trying to get pictures on my blog and I think I finally figured out what the problem is and I am sure I am not smart enough to fix it. I have darn near driven myself nuts. Am going to take a break and consult with someone smarter than I am, which could be almost any one who knows how to turn one of these on. I stand corrected. Those Llamas over there are not llamas at all. They are alpacas. What ever they are they are real curious as to what I am doing over here! I know the other ones are horses. Give me a little credit here! Ok, I made some french onion soup cause it is cold and I am going to go eat some. Have a good evening. LOU

Glad the vicks worked for her last night. Doris= I sure feel for Bigfoot. That wisdom tooth business is not a bit of fun! Hope he gets to feelin better soon! You take care also. Karen=Yes I know all about the pretty things. Sometimes we just have to have them!!Hee! My HD will ask " do you really need that" and I reply " Needing this has nothing to do with wanting it" Haaa So I buy it! Allie= Still got you and yours covered!

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-17-09 at 14:12:36 PST   Listings Hi Everbody!! This wunderful Wi+fi has been doing it's best to blink on and off the last several days, but anyhoo, I am trying to check in. The got the pantry type closet done, 'cept himself has to hang the door. We are going to go look at flooring in a couple of days. I think we decieded at some kinda carpet, even with the doglet. Also, my cell died last week, and I called home to get another one, and d-i-l shipped it last Tuesday, and still no phone. Now we will have to start the tracking crapola. Need to call the Dish peeps back, dish isn't working now, actaully at all, since himself unplugged it all, cause it didn't work in the first place. Dan--for some reason, I never thought of you as a little guy, more like a woolly bear!!Col!! Doris--maybe you should try the Vicks, if BF will let you. I would not want that dentist apt. either!! Glad Lesley is getting along well! Hi D2oris--yep those phone calls do that, but somethimes they do a body goog!! Howdy Lou--glad you are making some money, going hither and yon! Hey Cedar, was it you that asked a while back about the plastic rugs?? I have it outside on the porch, and it does slip a little, but it is pretty, ya know?? Hey Allie, still with ya!! Better scoot, 1/2 pot of cawfee is done, hi is rest of ya!! Karen

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-17-09 at 07:36:48 PST   Listings HI---This morning by the time I got up the sun was shining...Yesterday it was Pea Soup for quite awhile then the sun came out and it was almost like summer. I did go to town and dressed too warm... Bigfoot still coughs. I guess I will really have to try out that Vicks routine. Really I haven't ever used it.. He woke up unhappy yesterday...He has a wisdom tooth that has never come thur the gum....A few years ago he had trouble it and the Dentist sent us to a specialist...So we went there and they X Rayed it again and looked it over and all we got was a big big for the ordeal...So nothing was done about it and so we are back to square one again...He will see our dentist today later.... He got what I call the "Nelson" teeth...This is from his mother's side...Large teeth with roots that to way down in the gumm. He did have one wisdom tooth sawed out along with a good bit of his jaw years ago...This will be the same thing I think...Who knows they may even have to take the last molar too...I think that is why they have put him off hoping he will die before that has to be done...Any of his family that have had teeth removed have gone thur the process and it hasn't been any fun... Not many people posting yesterday. I guess we all needed a day off. Not even any spammers...Boy it is a slow day when we don't even get people posting that we don't like...So where is everybody??? Hope you are all having great weather like we are. I guess nature is trying to make up for the oold summer we had.. Mark and Lesley had a big outing yesterday. The first that Lesley has been out since her surgery....They had lunch and then went shopping...I haven't asked how it went with her but I hear them upstairs now so I will make my daily check up there. Everyone have a great day....SBIT Doris

Forgive me if I'm repeating myself, but daughter had a malingering night time cough. Told her to do the Vicks thing and it was the end of the cough! All day rain here today. Good time to do indoor chores, but somehow the day slipped away and I haven't accomplished much. Amazing how 2 long phone calls can eat up a day! Hang in there everybody! Doris TWO

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-15-09 at 18:10:21 PST   Listings Doris: Are you putting Vicks on Bigfoot's feet? You remember it is the miracle cure! I must confess that I missed church this morning. I drove by the Vail Hotel and the weaver folks were there loading out the props and tables and all so I stopped to help and when we were done church was about over. So, I am sure the good Lord will have mercy on me. I know he loves me and he understands that I wander off sometimes to do other things. After all he is the one who made me this way! Cedar: I hate snow. I like summer. I can shovel sweat all day long. I have no idea why I am living in Colorado, except that all my friends are here and it snows less in Pueblo than anywhere else I have been. I have to go check in on the jewelry board and see if they have any books to recommend for me. It is nice to see our little Dan popped in today! Peace to all. LOU

They are soooo funny!Can't remember her name can you please tell me? So glad things are changing for you ( In a good way) I understand it is going to be hard but you do what you have to do! Still keeping good thoughts for you and family! Doris= It sounds like Bigfoot is coming right alone. I am still coughing a little bit but oh feel so much better!

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-15-09 at 06:04:01 PST   Listings HI EVERYONE:::::I think PEZ is needed again... Still way above temps. And it will be most of the coming week...No chance of the lakes freezing over...The Ice Fisherman are getting very unhappy...They like to have the fishhouses out by Thanksgiving...Won't happen this year. In the meantime we who don't fish like the mild temps... I did try one nite back in the bedroom for some sleep. My bed felt so good but Bigfoot coughed so much neither of us got much sleep so I went back to the couch...But he is getting better...I think he must have had what some of you had earlier. Darn hard to get rid of it. But he is better. I think we will change the sheets today, air out the room really good and maybe I will give it another try again tonite... ALLIE---Good to hear that the end seems in sight for you..I know that you are all happy for that. We can't burn leaves round here. I always loved that part of fall but that was long ago they put a ban on that. Off to church and prayers will be said....SIBIT Doris

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-15-09 at 06:01:49 PST   Listings Well I started to write this and the computer was no cooperating so I went down and made some Chicken Enchilada Soup for a pot luck later. Good thing I did because I was going to tell Max there is no signs of snow here. Well, 30 minutes later it is snowing like the devil! Will let you know if I get snowed in. Alli: That is the cutest little calico cat! I always had calico cats, but now they seem to be very scarce and something seems to eat the cats that I bring home. Neighbors have 18 mangy old cats over there and nothing ever bothers them! Oh, now the snowflakes are getting fat! I took some pictures of my saurkraut. Well, the crock it is in, 2 heads of cabbage, and the plate that covers it. It is starting to work so I will tend it tomorrow and take a picture without the plate. Then I will give kraut making lessons on my blog. Lordie! I stopped at an estate sale Friday and bought a big box of costume jewelry. Went back yesterday and bought what was left. Bought gold and silver also. Grand total investment $20, but I am pretty sure this makes me queen of the ugly jewelry. Grand daughter and I started sorting and bagging last night. I necklace per bag. Total number of bags 167, not counting bracelets, earrings, pins. Found several gold chains that appear to be worth something. The ones with filigree are corroded and eaten away so they are worth nothing. Have probably 5 pounds of stuff I can hang on gourds and use for embellishments. I might go sign in to the jewelry board and tell them of my find. I am sure they can recommend a good book or site to help me with this endeavor! Grand daughter is up so I have to go make her a buck wheat pancake. She will be pissed cause I usually make biscuits and gravy! Have a good day and I wish you all a day filled with sunshine! LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-14-09 at 19:48:05 PST   Listings Good evening to all. FL. has been showing off with some cooler weather. Doris, I am chuckling about your coat. Is it one of those boiled wool jackets? If so, they are wonderful,a silk shirt or long sleeved sweater and you are warm as toast. Cedar, now that is great news. Retirement at the end of this yr. Then the work really begins. Lou, first snow always exciting...then! Yes, I didn't see any really ugly jewelry. Liked that fly/bug pin. spirit_helper, my kind of coffee, hold the sugar. This past wk. have cut back on my coffee drinking, down to 4 cups a day. Might be sleeping a little better. Allie, hope you have all appliances taken care of. A smaller refrig. will probably work well for Mom. Guys, I know I kind of skip over greeting you. I have one heck of a time figuring out who you belong to!! Know it is Bigfoot and Doris. Then there are Wilburrr,Fred, Wills.I haven'i seen Pez for awhile. Spent most of day at YS's. They were everywhere. got few nice things. Company coming tomorrow, will spend the night, then head to Keys fishing. I will have 4 days...no cooking. Got a big semi boneless ham I will bake for dinner Sun. They can slice up leftovers (?) and take with them for sandwiches. Hope the weather holding up for everyone. Parts of East coast sure taking a beating. Wonder how much shoreline they have lost. Nite Max

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-14-09 at 19:17:52 PST   Listings Doris: When the threads are put through the reed, which holds them in order, it is called sleying the reed. I knew that, but would not have come up with sley on that clue. Sley is not a thing, it is what you do to the reed with the thread. Wish you were here so I could give you a demonstration. The sale is over and the show room is packed up and put away. Don't know my total yet, but some lady and her husband came in and bought 28 bars of soap this afternoon. that is $140. I should do over $800. I can eat again! It is cold tonight and still kind of spitting. Guess they got a bunch just North of here. tim came and cleaned on the garage today. We are going to put the storage trailer in there and worry about the roof later. Got church tomorrow, go see Joanne after church and then baby shower in the afternoon. guess I will go to bed. LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-14-09 at 17:22:31 PST   Listings HI---We had a bit of sun today...The first for a long time...Not too cold out but supposed to drop overnite... I knnow that most of you are much smarter than me but today I learned a new word....Lou was talking about the reeds on her weaving machine and I didn't know what she meant...I was working a puzzel today and one word that was asked for was a "weavers reed"...Of course I didn't know the name but it worked out to be "sley"...Now that I have seen Lou's weaving machine I can sort of imagine just what the sley is...Anyway did any of you know what a weavers reed is called? I didn't. We had one of our neighbors from in town out here today along with his grown son...He used to always watch our house while we were gone and anything that I needed done I would just ask him and he would be there as soon as he could to help...{Bigfoot worked odd hours and long hours so I needed help} So Cedric came out here today and they put plastic on two sides of the porch...Now the snow won't come in there as much...He also crawled under the veranda to where the dryer vent is and checked that to see if it was ok...Then he pulled out the dryer in the landury room and checked the vent there...And if that wasn't enough his son put up a new shade in the bath room...I need one of these that goes down from the top and up from the bottom...Lesley had ordered it and it has been here awhile just waiting to be worked on... Cecric and his wife were very hard working people...They raised a nice family and have a number of grand kids...They would take all those grand kids babies and what not camping in the summer...The parents had time off for a long weekend or something like that. They were the best neighbors a person could have...I miss then a lot...Of course we never expected Cedric to do all those things for nothing. He picked up a lot of odds and ends jobs all the time and still does...Not a lazy bone in all that family...If all people would be like them this would be a wonderful world... Mark just came down and so I will have to cut this short...SBIT Doris

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-14-09 at 06:17:46 PST   Listings Here I am! Been a little busy. Today is the last day of the weavers sale, so have to go in about 5 and do my shopping and then help break down the sale. I think I have done really well. Let you know tomorrow. I have the last post on my blog before I put the blanket pictures on Monday. I will post the link again Monday so you can see. It is cold today and supposed to snow. I made 40 pounds of cabbage into saurkraut yesterday. Need to have the boys put that somewhere and I don't know where. It needs to ferment, but not to hot and not to cold and for Cripes sake, not in the house! That is some stinking stuff when he get to working good. Please do not think I am going to eat this all by myself. I have friends who actually pay for this stuff. I do like it though. Can't go that store bought stuff. Doris: Your coat sounds delightful! I would like the lightness of it. I am looking for a coat that is light and easy to move around in, but not having any luck finding one. Really don't care what it looks like, just how it feels. I am not into fashion and have been wearing the same jeans and tee shirts for years and when they get old I buy more just like them. Oh,, I see out my window that the tree is looking drippy. We are supposed to get snow today and tomorrow. I laugh in the face of snow and bad weather! The pond has not had even a skim of ice yet. I checked out the ugly jewelry and I thought some of it was actually kind of different. Lot of it qualified as gaudy as opposed to ugly. My son will be here 4 days over Thanksgiving. I am all a twitter. He is the one kid I have that I can actually have an intelligent and philisophical(sp) discussion with and when we are done debating we can go for a walk or something and it is forgotten. I enjoy that. His name is Sam. Well not really. His name is Earl Edward, but I always wanted a son named Sam, but when I actually got one, the husband didn't like that name. So he has been called Sam for 40+ years. My brothers name was Delbert Leroy, but we called him Jake until the day he died! Names don't mean much around here! Water fowl await. Got to dump feed today. Hate to bother the little Bret. Have a good one and talk to you later when I know something. LOU

I cut a slit a little ways down the front of my T-shirts and fold it back then sew it down with some decorative stiches. I can't stand anything tight around my neck When my son was about 7 yrs old I would buy a night shirt and cut it at the neck and he would run and yell " Daddy she is cutting her new clothes again! So funny. I know you will get the coat fixed just the way that will please you. Fixin to write up some more things to put on ebay, so chat later.

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-13-09 at 07:54:18 PST   Listings HI---Later last night I looked at the pamphlet that came with the coar...Several pages because it was written four different languages...When I finally found the Elglish one I was very sruprised that I could read...After reading that I then started to realize why I ordered the thing. The salesclerk that I buy from was not there yesterday. She had to take her husband to Mpls for something medical and won't be back until Tues...So I thought it would be fine if I just went and picked up the coat...Her sister was at the store {these are the owners} and of course se is a great sales person also but she didn't go into the detail as to why this coat was different and I had forgotten why. But after reading about it I rmembered the whole thing... These coats are made in Austria and they have a pattened method of steaming this certain kind of wool...Those coats are very sturdy and have a little weight to them and very warm...This is a new process they are using and it makes for the same warm texture but is much lighter in weight...Really it is light as a feather and it is lined...They never line any of their coats or jackets as a rule...So that is why is it different...Very classic styling which never goes out of style...Love the color. Now to work on the buttons. I never like my buttons to stick out and be showy...I kind like them to blend in with the garmet and therefore I many times change buttons on what I buy...There is always an extra button so I have one to experiment with if I want to paint it or something...I will try that first. If that doesn't work then I will get some matching buttons that are smaller....Pam, my sales person, will just have her usual fit because I always have to change something with what I buy...I always say, 'but then it is one of a kind.'..This has been going on for years... Sleep was disturbed last nite because I moved back to the bedroom and at 3:30 Bigfoot coughed and we both got up. He of course can go right back to sleep but for me it's the end of the night...I did move back to the couch about 5 AM and maybe did get a big more shuteye....I don't have to go anyplace that I know of so I will just putter around here and get some stuff tossed out or put away...Of course there is always the buttons I can work on...Even Bigfoot is a good help there and has spray painted buttons for me... Another mild but dismal day...Just fog and gloom...We can't even see the lake... CEDAR--I know that you just had they eye surgery and have said like so many others that it goes well...I just put it off because with my FL trip coming up and getting ready for Christmas I just didn't want to fuss with all those eye drops and visits to the Dr. I can do that in Jan. when not much is happening. But thanks for the encourgement....SBIT Doris

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-12-09 at 16:36:31 PST   Listings HI---Well, I went and picked up my jacket or coat whichever...I ordered it way last Mar. so I had forgotten what it was styled like. All I remember that is was a very pretty blue....I was a bit or maybe more that a bit disapointed. It is pretty enough but not like I remembered at all. Really very plain with big pueter bottons...They will change color after I am done with them...It is styled with a seem across the back waiste and something else there. The lining Is beautiful but that doesn't show of course...Maybe I should wear it inside out...I will see about a picture...Heck I might even take a picture of another coat and tell you that is the new one...Hard to say just what I might do... Very cloudy here all day...Sort of foggy. But no rain..Maybe tomorrow the rain will come...At least it is still mild for MN...Must hurry along and get some things done before Surviror...Bigfoot doing better each day but he isn't eating like he usually does...So I know he's not completely well yet...Normally he eats everything in sight...SBIT Doris

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-12-09 at 13:26:11 PST   Listings Dangnabbit! I have no ugly jewelry and that does sound like a hoot. I think they have had this contest before. Anyone remember our contests? Those were loads of fun. mabey someday we will get at it again. DORIS: Anytime you wanna send the pic of your coat/jacket, I will be happy to post it for you. I think that is very wise to put off the surgery till January. You are gonna be one happy camper when you get it done. Just bothersome to put the drops in so much. But after that, you will be able to see like you did years ago! I was very surprised. Hope Bigfoot is getting bettter by the day. This is a bad time of year to try to get rid of a cough. You are gonna keep in touch while away, right? KARNE: How are things going? You are so busty I know. Have a blast girl. Check in when you can. ALLIE: Glad things are coming to a head up there. Your tomcat is going to be really happy to see his better half! When is the date fr flying? Know yet? COBBIE: The Military Moms sounds great. Know you all do a rewarding job. My nephew is set to deploy next month to Afghanistan. I will be a nervous wreck but I know I join many others in worrying. Is there a site we can go to to get the best ideas on what to send our military guys/gals? We really need to know the best and most useful things to package. Your ideas will be most helpful!

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-12-09 at 07:01:31 PST   Listings HI---I did check your weaving LOU---Wow what a lot of work to get it set up...The only thing I ever did that was sort of weaving was some Indian beads...Those small ones...It was fun. It came in a kit. Don't rmember what happened to the band I did finish...Looks like an interesting thing to do but at my age I will just work on all the projects that I have here waiting.... Bigfoot is much better. Thank goodness for that. Oh, he still coughs but he does that normally because of his asthama. My trip to the eye surgeon was yesterday...Because he only comes here to the hospital about once a month he wouldn't be able to do my surgery until Dec. 2nd...Then of course I would have to see him the next day and a week later after that. Well, I will be leaving for FL on the 7th or 8th of Dec. and that woudld run pretty close. I would not be able to hang my head down or lift anything heavy for a week...How can I pack and then lift my surtcase to see if it's not to heavy for me to handle if I am not suposed to do those things. So I have put it off until JAN. when we will be here looking at snowbanks...That was a relief. Today I am going to our next town...While I was gone I got a call that my Jacket that I ordered last spring is finnaly here. They call it a jacket...I call it a coat. For what I paid it is going to be a coat by my terms...I well remember the color but don't remember the style...Should be interesting....I will just whip over there myself and get it done fast...Bigfoot didn't seem to want to go along... It's foggy out there this morning so at least it must be somewhat mild yet....So I better get some stuff done around here and then get ready to leave....Hi to all...SBIT Doris PS---Yesterday while I was gone I had 3 phone calls that I had to call back....Some days my phone hardly rings....

Directions are on the jewelry board. We've spent 3 days raking and bagging leaves! I'm plum worn out and now I'm off to enjoy a Coke! Beautiful Veterans Day here in Illinois! Doris Too

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-10-09 at 21:39:05 PST   Listings Evening Peepies ~ Doris, I am glad to hear your pacemaker is doing well. My little sister (45) had to have a heart valve replacement last April. Talk about a shock to all of us!! She is still battling with her Coumadin levels. She cut her leg shaving last week, and had to stay home from work 2 days due to bleeding. She's getting an Electric razor for Christmas!!! Needless to say..her levels were way off. So, I hope you can come off of yours, that would be a great blessing! Alliekat ~ Straight 8 hours of sleep! WOW, GOOD FOR YOU!!! Sounds like its all coming together. Hope the one gal works out, I know it would be a set back to have to retrain someone again. Lou ~ Blog looks wonderful! Quite the loom you have there, looks fun (lots of work) but fun, LOL! Can't wait to read the updates. Cedar ~ If its a craft I do it, LOL! I opened a website a couple of years ago with my candles. Plus ebay! Business has taken off, especially this time of year. I have a few stores locally and out of state that now sell them too. Keeps me busy, sometimes more so than I'd like. Karen ~ I know! I'm bad, but it wasn't for the lack of trying to get on here. My computers were both so old, that pages with javascript just wouldn't load. Now, I can fly thru them, HA! Hope you are having fun and enjoying yourselfs. Wills and Jan ~ I agree! Prayers and Blessings to all that have served and are now serving our Great Country. We remember them Proudly! Been a tearful week with all the lifes lost so sencelessly. I joined a website for Military Moms about a month ago. I know Troy (Casey's hubby) isn't mine, but I love that boy to pieces and support him totally. Anyway, the website does so much for the troops overseas and keeps us updated. Every little bit helps, every letter, card, pair of socks...whatever it takes to let them know we care and are proud of them. All we can do is support them until they are safe at home again. Well, we are just now getting some of Ida's rain here! Guess we can mow one more time before putting out the Christmas Decor (here that Judy)! The weekend after Thanksgiving, not yet, HA! Just wanted to peek in and say "Hi". Hope everyone is having a great week. Later Gators... Connie

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-10-09 at 16:55:57 PST   Listings Hi EVERYONE-----Rather nice day here today...Not as mild as yesterday I didn't think..The light wind was cool around the edges...I was just wearing a light jacket outfit. By now we are usually into winter coats. So in comparison it was a great day for MN. I had my pacemaker checked today. They think it is working great so I have to take their word for it...They sure have a lot of sheets of paper coming out of the machine that is checking it...It all looked good... Yesterday I had my annual physical....Everything checked out very good...No obvious signs of leprosey or Black Plague. Of course they took a good sample of blood and will work on that for a week looking for something...I will let you know if I am on death row after those reports come in..I may be albe to get off the coumidin. My Dr. doesn't like for anyone to take that unless really necessary...That would be nice if I could get rid of that...It has to be checked often and that is a bother. Tomorrow I see the surgeon who will be doing my cataract...He comes from another town...I will find out when the surgery will take place. I think in early Dec. After that I get a perm...and hair cut of course....That will be wonderful...I did have an appointment to check on my Medicare health isnurance but she called and said she couldn't see me now. She will call me later on that...All this medical stuff drives me nuts...I am not used to so much doctoring...It will be nice when this week is over.I would much rather have appointments for Lunch Dates... Mark built a ramp on their porch steps so that now he can get Lesley outside easily...So he had her out today in the wheelchair for some fresh air...He said pushing her up the hills took some effort...I said, good, you need some more exercise.... Lou---I did check your blog and weaving site...You come on so strong and have such an interesting life. We enjoy that a lot but this board just doens't move that fast usually...They will get around to your sites but it may take a few days. We have been telling you that you are so busy you make us tired just reading your posts...But keep them coming...Just don't expect answers right away....We plod along pretty slowly... That Lobster Bisque soup sounded pretty good. Almost stopped by for a bit of that...We will be waiting to get to see what your blanket looks like... HI WILLS and JAN---Thanks for posting about our troups...Do hope that everyone gives them a bit of thought tomorrow and every day as far as that goes...They aren't even safe here in our own country...Someone wasn't on the ball when they let "you know who" into the military...Well wherever he would have been he was up to something...And he got at the ones that he knew didn't have guns to shoot back...Lucky there were some armed people that came to the site and cut him off before he could reload and fire some more...Enough damage was done for sure... JAN -- we are thinking about you and do hope that soon you will have all your ducks in a row and can head for home... Bigfoot is still coughing with that grave-yard cough..I talked to the Dr. yeasteday when I was there and he said to give him the rest of this week to see how things go. Those meds would be working for a few days...He does look better but that coughing is hard on a person so really he isn't doing much of anything. I let him do the dishes as usual. Before I get a perm I usually wash my hair and treat it with sone insta-cure or something...So I better do that. I should look really good tomorrow when I see the eye Dr. He may take one look and run...HA! Hi to all others...SBIT Doris

I have made $469 so far at the sale and will be delivering more today cause I am running low on the Tahitian Vanilla. I am making Chicken Enchilada Soup and Lobster Bisque for their lunch today. It is supposed to be a tad bit cooler today. My son will be here from Dallas on the 25th. I am all a twitter. My blanket has grown to 26 inches. I think it will probably end up about 48 x 48. Got to see where the pattern ends me. I think it would look a little strange to end it too much longer then it is square. I think tomorrow I will start postings on my blog of the big loom and this blanket project. So be sure you get over there and make note of the web address so you don't miss out. the click here below takes you right to the first picture. I have 2 turtle doves that are living in the cherry tree right outside the office window here. I think they mate for life. I think! That is a scary concept-- the thinking, not the mating for life. One of the spinners has alpaca yarn for sale and it is so soft! Feels like mohair. May buy some and see how it spins up. Have a lovely day, and Allie, you take special care. Quit running so much. You are getting as bad as me, but soon you will be in the groove somewhere else and it will all work out well. OUTA' HERE LOU

Just NO time to even really read the posts well. So many details to show these gals, and I have to do it for each one while they are here. Going very well with all but one gal. Not sure if we will keep her. Just not enough initiative for me. All the rest dive right in and find stuff to do, or ask/suggest how we can accomplish everything. She's a nice gal, but we'll see. : / Oh my, it is nearly 11p'em already. Been busty making lists and thangs with JEAN tonight. I need to go order a new fridge tomorrow, that I looked at earlier in the week and she's going to go with. MOM's is freezing veggies and such, but letting stuff at the top shelf go bad. She's had it for over 30 years, so I guess it's done its job just fine. ; ) I actually had 8 hours of sleep last night!!! I don't think I've done that since July some time. I shut my bedroom door so ZOE couldn't wake me up early to do her job, and that worked. She went to the caregiver for help. She's learning to trust others. Yay! PLUS, I took a two hours nap. Can you believe it??!! Gettin tahrd now and ready to head back soon after I finish this. : ) We've had a mild Indian Summer here for the past few days. Temps around or in the low 60's. Very nice for November. Our yard guy came yesterday and did leaves and all. He left a large pile that I decided to finish burning. I love to burn leaves. Started when I was a kid. Got em all done and had a goog time doing something outdoors for awhile. Now the yard guy can get to other tasks the next time he comes, too. : ) I've given up on answering posts. Waaay too many to do that and me with no time. Yawl have a wunnerful restful night! : ) CA:WI: I was in the pub yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my gaseous explosions with the beat of the music. After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished off my pint and noticed that everybody was staring at me. Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod. ; )

It is made by Simplicity and is called a "Bias tape maker machine." Should find in a fabric store, but I got mine at the Sewing Machine shop. Trust Walmart will have them as soon as they find out there is someone interested. The snake did not eat the mouse Bret put in there yesterday so I will not go in his room because I can not stand to see the little thing standing there shaking. Gruesome! I do not like boys anymore.

My business has grown so much this past year, that I'll probably still be working when he retires, LOL! BUT, we still have our little place up in the mountains of NC, so that's where I'll be heading. There and TN! Judy, HUH! Nobody said nothing about a "NEW" couch. Where ever shall I lay my weary body now for my afternoon naps??? I think we'll have to have an ASPHATS meeting about that, LOL! Yes, I guess I can wait to see the trees (Do I have a choice) LOL! I'm so anxious for Christmas to get here. Normally, NO! But with Casey and Troy coming home, I just want them to get here and enjoy the holiday with them. Thank you, I'm glad to be back too. I missed everyone, sure makes a difference with a new computer. Wills? OMG, Shirley??? Boy, I missed that one. The gang will have to fill me in. When you bringing her to FL? You won't believe this, but HD STILL has that terrible green recliner, ROFLOL! Fred ~ I think Bow season has started. HD usually starts the week of Thanksgiving. They go up to the Ocala National Forest near Gainsville. Casey won't hunt (she just likes to go) although she's a pretty good shot. But, her hubby will, we have all his rifles here, so he's good to go. His license is free since he's in the military. If they make a kill, oh yes...they will bring it home to eat. I'll have to put a clothes pin on my nose, HA! Jan ~ What storm? OMG, I didn't even know we had one out there. I had to go watch the news when I read your post. Lois is slipping, LOL! Looks like it will stay away from here and I certainly hope so. If not, our neighbors will be bombarded with pool floats and toys, LOL! We haven't put that stuff away yet. Guess I should kick HD off the TV and watch the weather from time to time. FOOTBALL, Racing...Good Grief!!! He super glues his fanny to the chair all weekend I think. PFFFFT! Cedar, we eat so much chicken that we cluck around here. Mmmm, Judy's chili sounds good though. Not really cold enough here yet, but since when does that matter, right? Nite Allie, Sleep well and pleasant dreams. Well, more to say, I missed some folks, but I still have work to do. So, guess I'd better get back to it. See ya'll for coffee in the morning. Connie

The rest of the day has been mild but not much sun until sundown...Then it was red and pretty out there. WILLS---Happy Anniversary...Two years and that's about how long you have been gone from the board on a daily basis. So it is so nice when you do stop by... FRED---I know about metal gussets too...The most traveled bridge over the Mississippi River between Mpls. and St. Paul broke down about two years ago...A number killed and some injured...It happened right at the busy evening rush hour...It took a long time but they found out that the "Gusset Plates" that held the thing together were not heavy enough and they twisted and the bridge came tumbling down...Made for a big mess for driving between the two very busy ciites for over a year.... Who was it that needed bread bags? Maybe LOU....She does everything...My brother was a plant manager for Safeway Bakerys in CO for many years...He would always bring us lots of bags that they weren't going to use anymore. They change the breads now and then and have lots of left over bags to get rid of...Do you have any connections with a large bakery that you ask to see if they have anything like that? Just a suggestion....We missed those bags after he retired.... LOU the bias tape wouldn't be for me but I can just see Lesley wanting something like that. She sews a lot. I will mention to her that I know someone that can make bais tape and maybe even quilt bindings to match what material you are working with...I just love to smart off like that!!!! CONNIE---Do you plan to retire soon? If so just where would you go? Just wondering.... JAN shorting pants is easy...I usually have to lengthen mine so I have to put them down and face them...Have done that so many times I couldn't even tell you how many.... PICKER---We are looking forward to pics of the trees...But don't work too hard just because we expect you to...In fact you could run some of last years pics and I bet we couldn't remember them all...Just remember of thinking of all the work to put them up and then take them down again... This coming week I have a number of appointments...Reg. check up with the Dr. Blood check, Eye surgeon for my cataract, Perm. and Lunch one day...Can't remember it all. I will have to keep a close check each day so that I don't get mixed up...Also have to check on my Medicare coverage...I will be to town each day but at least the weather is supposed to be nice...Good for that...So I don't expect to be on the board very often....I may have to surf the posts to see if JAN will be flyig back to CA...I have to get out and wave my wine glass as she flys over....SBIT Doris

I probably had it for 20 years before I ever used it. The Steelers play the Broncos on Monday Night. I can't believe the Bengals beat the Ravens, and the Ravens beat the Broncos last week to break their undefeated standings. The Bengals are sitting above the Steelers in the standings but I still can't believe they are for real. Hope the snozz is feeling better. ROFLOL at y'all and the corset and gusset. And Lou's bra. I can't imagine me in a corset...LOL Connie, it's so nice to see you around here again. You don't really want to see tree already, do you? I like to wait until after Thanksgiving (now I sound like KISA) and show y'all one or two a day to get you in the hohoho spirit. Remember how CEDAR was in July, she didn't want to hear a THING about HoHoHo back then. :) Doris, I know you'll keep an eye on Bigfoot to make sure he gets the doctoring he needs. I got a kick out of the snap, that you just so happened to have one on hand. I know exactly the kind you mean but I don't know you they still sell them in stores. We are going to have grandson for several days, I think beginning the 12th. I have a lot of 'child proofing' to do before now and then. CEDAR, my dad was a hunter. The worst thing we ever had to eat was bear. I took one bite and I said a swear word and said I wasn't eating that $@#& any more. I was three. It's amazing I lived to see 4. Allie, Jan & Connie, take note of the new sofa, and the rules are No Sleeping on it. Besides, it isn't broken in yet so it doesn't hug you when you lay down in it. Wills, Happy Anniversary, IMO everyone's life is happier with a good mate. Likewise, nothing is more miserable than a bad one. Ugggh. I think every one has been there. Big hugs back at ya. Jan, there is a dry cleaners not far from our house and they do alterations. You & Bill will have to come visit and see the trees and bring your stuff that needs alterations. Then you can come back, or, I can mail them back to you! I'll even burn some chili for you. Lou, we end up throwing bread away, in the bag. Do you know how many bags you need? I bet it's a truckload. You are one funny gal. I don't remember the cardinal made with bias tape. Maybe you can find it on the net? OMG, ROFL at Jan and the button. I bet there's heck to pay in southeastern Ohio tonight (and maybe several nights). LOL Hi Pez. Y'all have a good week! Hugs & niters, Judy

My nephew picked 10 out of 10 in a pool thingy got $2000 for $10 I think. He said a lot of big payouts that week . Mostly fav's won or made spreads etc. Doris A gusset sounds like something for eve trough parts from the hardware store. Actually it can be used for a way to strenthen metal by welding another piece in a certain way as well. But your sewing one would be a little different I suspect. Cedar you could write a lot of what I don't know anything about for sure. Most of my sew terms would be like "sew what" . Doesn't that bug you when you lose a long post. Connie. When hunting season down there? I remember the flack we took from one person because we dicussed the merits of hunting as oppsed to letting animals over populate and be dealt with worse by nature such as starving and runnung into cars.

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-08-09 at 06:02:26 PST   Listings Doris: I will be tickled to death to make you bias tape. Just send me the material, how wide you want the finished tape and how much. This machine ought to be good for something and so far you are the only one I know who needs any! Does anyone remember years ago they used to take red bias tape and fold it in such a way that it looked like the body of a cardinal bird? It was then stitched onto a tea towel and you embroidered a beak, feet and 2 eyes. I have the red tape, the tea towel, but can not get it folded right. I have not forgotten that I am supposed to be working on a pattern for the bread wrapper rug, but here is my dilemma, I don't actually eat bread, so wrappers are hard to come by. The neighbor had given me 3 wrappers and the cleaning lady threw them in the trash. So I am in quest of wrappers again. Someday! Going to go check old Wilburrr out down there.

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-07-09 at 21:04:41 PST   Listings HI---Gosh it isn't even morning here yet!!!!Just wanted you to know that we are having temps well above normal. MD is having like 70 degrees where he lives...This is supposed to last most of the coming week....We will love it. Bigfoot is coughing much too much...He has one more pill to take tomorrow and if by Mon. he isn't better he will be going back to the Dr. Good to have WILLS drop in. Just wish he would chat a little but just to have him drop by was nice...Hi to Shirley... Yes, I know Bigfoot should have been wearing a mask...He has several kinds...He has one that he uses for really cold air...The strap where it snapped on to the mask was missing..So I got on the internet and found the company that make that mask but wouldn't you know they don't make that one anymore...Nothing else was anything like that one. So I took a look at the problem and I said I used to have snaps like that which I used years ago. But moving out here I couldn't possibly save all the things I would have liked to. So I got down the plastic tub of odds and ends and dont you suppose I had some on a card just what was needed for repair for his mask...You used a wooden thread spool and hammer the thing on the mask...It worked and now it is a good as new but of course doesn't help if it isn't on the face at the right time....But I do appreciate all the helpful hints that you have mentioned here...Thanks for that...Makes a person feel that you care... For you that do sew I know what you mean when people think you can just do or fix most anything. Been there and have done that too...Had a friend that needed a Muff for her daughter who was with a Christmas Caroling Group and the muff for her costume was missing... Could I make one...Well, I did and she loved it so did her mother...So then the mother thought I should make one for her too because she loved the muff so much too....Of course I did that one too....But you know what I have in the back of my mind...One of these days I am going to need some bias tape to match the cloth I am working with and guess who I am going to ask if she will make me some special bias tape...LOU of course she needs something to keep her busy... One thing I am happy about is that I am not forgetful like the rest of you seem to be....HA HA You know that's a big joke....I will be going to church in the morning and I will remember all of you of course....SBIT Doris

You absolutely exhaust me just thinking about all the things you do in one day!!WHEE!! But keep up the great work. I can't wait to see some of your things! Sory about your money from the craft show. We had a small Fall Carnival at the school and hardly anyone showed up. We always made alot of money from this Fund Raiser! So, we said Thanks for the economy also! My DH says " It could be worse" and I say BLAH=BLAH Jsan= That was a good story about the button.I'm still giggling when I vision you finding that hole! ROFL!! Allie= Still thinking of you! Max= Where are you? Judy== These days and times you can wear anything anytime you please. There is no certain style except your own> So Please wear your pins if it makes you happy! Can't wait for the trees!! Connie= You are so right about all the knowledge of medicines and procedures these days. I am still amazed every time I wake up and open my eyes because I can see clearly! Truely amazing. LOU= You are exactly right that is why I don't sew for the public!! I guess they think we can just throw something together overnight. They don't have a clue! Well folks think I'll call it a nite. So I want everybody on the board to have a glorious nite and a productive tomorrow!!.Cedar...

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-07-09 at 16:03:16 PST   Listings Ok, I am home from the craft show. Sold $177.00 worth which is about half of what I usually make, so thank the economy. My friend Steve was there with his guitar and his new cd. He got tired of singing the album songs so he pulled out his "peace" song book. So being the wall flower I am I started singing with him. We decided to be Peter and Mary, cause we had no Paul. Sure helped pass time between customers. Even Bret said we did really good. Ok, that was from a very old song and I think the name of it is Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone. I mean really old, maybe the 50's. Used to do a lot of musicals back then. A gusset is a piece cut on the bias and sewn in to make a garment bigger. A corset is what went around Scarlets waist and was cinched up to give her the wasp waist and make her look more buxom. Yeah, Connie, I am around 39-in my wildest dreams! I can't even remember ever being 39. Sure I must have been at one time! Ok, got to go watch the news. Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good night tilll it be tomorrow. Lou and Willie Shakespeare.

Heres goog luck to Casey and HD on their hunt. When does the season open there? They will go to Ga., right? Hope the foot is much better.BTW, you must have been peeking in my window! I had a nice nappie today, nice but short. WILLS: You booger. Where ya been? We miss your big smile and big blue eyes around here. Hope your binnesses are going non stop. Has the economy hurt you? My brother (in Ga) got laid off after working at the same place for 30 years. Our country has gone to pot in many ways. JUDY I agree on wearing your Christmas pins. I see them around and am ready to hunt for mine. I used to argue about seeing Xmas advertising before Thanksgiving but after it started before Halloween, I gave up! The seasons are too short. Might as well get all the use out of the pins you can. Tell Kisa the gals are with you on this one. ha. DORIS: Isn't a gusset something ladies used to wear around their midsection to make them appear smaller? I tried one one time and it just made everything splay out above and below. Scarlett never stayed that skinny I'll bet. Bigfoot will be fine with your TLC. Don't let him get sicker, there is nothing in the world like a sick husband! LOU: I am like DORIS. I get tired just reading about your day.Slow down before you run outta steam! CEDAR: I must tell you this story. Today I had to sew up a seam on a pair of my slacks that exploded, and asked Bill if he had any loose buttons or anything. He had ONE, and brought me a shirt. So being June Cleaver I sewed the button on and as I was folding the shirt, I noted a large hole in the sleeve! I was furious. That shirt belonged in the trash rather than a button! It will be a long dry spell for any more buttons.ROFL.~~~~~~Jsan

Its amazing what Drs can do now. Lou ~ ROFLMEBRO! Glad you found your BIG BOX. I really shouldn't laugh, I'm right behind ya. I can lay something down, walk away and forget where I put it.

Casey took a hunting safety course, she'll be going to the woods this year too. OMG, like father like daughter, those two........ Allie ~ Hope things are starting to come full circle for you and your Mom. Gentle hugs to her as always. Wills ~ HELLO!!!! Karen ~ Glad you made the trip safe and sound. I can't wait to retire, LOL! REALLY, I don't plan to be in FL much at all. Have fun, play hard and keep in touch. Max ~ Sounds like a wonderful find. Hope you are enjoying the magazines and I hope they bring you lots of sells on ebay. Well, I know I missed some folks, but I'm waving atcha. Been a long, hectic week and I need a nap. I know Jans probably already covered up on the couch, so I reckon I'll hit the bed this time. Hope everyone is having a terrific, cool weekend. Later Gators ~ Connie

Doris, it might help Bigfoot if he wears one of those paper masks when he's working outside in the leaves. They help me when I have to cut grass in the fall and my hayfever goes bonkers. Lou, that line must be from a book or movie, I can't wait till you get back here to tell us! It would be a good day to put the Christmas lights outside. I like to choose a nice day to do that, but I don't light them this early, of course. I've been wanting to wear my Christmas tree pins on my jackets but KISA tells me it's too early. :( Wills, always goog to see you. Later, gaters, Judy

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-07-09 at 09:34:35 PST   Listings Hey Everyone! Just crusin through to say hey!

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-07-09 at 08:36:58 PST   Listings Hi EVERYONE----Sunny and going to be a very nice day...It already is a nice day...We will enjoy that for a change.... Bigfoot is doing pretty good. He got a different med. this time. Just 3 pills and has to take one a day for 3 days. He took the first one yesterday just after we ate lunch...We ate in town. We made one other short stop and then headed for home...Shortly after leaving town he started to cough and oh my what he didn't cough up...He kept that doing all afternoon...It must have been one strong pill....He had a pretty good night and if the other two pills do as well as the first one he should have pretty clean lungs by then...They did x-ray of his chest but we won't hear the results for a few days...His Dr. looked at it and wasn't alarmed about anything.... As for inhalers he uses one on a regular basis...His asthma is not the kind where he should use a inhaler for instant relief....This has been building up for some time and it was just overload when he went out and worked with those moldy wet leaves that just had to be put on plants to save them from Jack Frost over the winter...He does this every year so it is nothing new...However it is the type of outside work he loves to do and I can't do a thing about it....So much for that!!! HI KAREN---Happy to hear that you got to TX safely and are out living, having a good time and laughing a lot...Have a great winter.... Gosh I read LOU's ditty first and thought she was leaving us for good...Wondered what we had done to make her feel that way. But I guess she was quoting something for us for the day....Just loading up her stuff made me tired....Good luck on all your ventures for the day. I have two sewing machines and one is up and open most of the time just like my ironing board....I had a wonderful Home EC teacher...I was fortunate enough to move back to the town where I went to High School and became very good friends with her over the years....In the later years of her life I brought rossetts and jelly to her and her husband...Continued to do the same to her husband many years after her death....They had no children and she always refered to me as "one of her kids".....I think of her often because she was a "good" person in my life. ALLIE---Will it never end? Thinking about you and hope it is going well for you...I do think that in the long run it will work out just fine. You just have to get these people to learn how to work together so that as one leaves and the other takes over it just leaves a very little seam in the garment that you are sewing together here....See how I worked that in to the sewing bit? Must run now and get some things done around here or I will be unhappy with myself....SBIT Doris PS LOU---You used a term that not too many people will know what you are talking about...GUSSET.....Now that would be a hard job to do if you ask me...I have put in gussets when the pattern called for one but to do that in a repair job??? Well, maybe I could do that if I had to....At least I know it would have to be cut on the bias for stretch.....

I worked at the weavers sale yesterday and I have already sold over half of the lotion and body butter. Will need to get on the stick as this is just the first day of the sale. I am up early to load the car for the church sale today. Hope I do as well there. Have my frozen burritoes on the table, frozen bread, 3 dozen muffins and 13 bags of cookies, all gluten free. I lost the cookies that I had boxed up yesterday and spent 20 minutes looking all over for them. I could remember putting them some where so the dogs could not get them, but couldn't remember where and this is a BIG box! Even went outside to the storage trailer in case I was that nuts! All the way to the bassement, through Bret's room, out in the garden. Finally found them on top of the entertainment center in the front room. Guess I should watch more tv! Ok, I will be gone all day, so please don't talk about me when I'm gone, although our friendship ceases from now on. In parting you go your way, I'll go mine, it's best that we must part... Ring any bells? LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-06-09 at 21:39:29 PST   Listings It's Friiiiidayyyy! I used to sew a lot, my mom taught me how to sew straight skirts when I was 10, and I made almost all my own clothes until fabric got more expensive than buying them off the rack. Mom also taught me to upholster (makes hands rough as a cotton picker!). I do still do a bit of sewing, usually window treatments or something I have to have but can't find in a store. I have 3 sewing machines but they are hidden away, I don't tell anyone that I know how to sew. I wish I had the patience and gumption that LOU has but it just isn't there. Geez, Fred, if I had known you were having trouble with your nose I wouldn't have been beating you up so violently on here. I'd think a fella like you would jump in and defend himself. LOL We see deer all over, this time of year especially they become hood ornaments. It's a sad thing. Doris, you should ask Bigfoot's doctor for an emergency inhaler. That asthma is frightening! Cedar, the Fort Hood tragedy is our whole nations heartbreak, again. You are right, we must remember them and their families, and keep those in harms way in our thoughts and prayers. Once again, when we least expect it... Niters all, Judy

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-06-09 at 19:38:04 PST   Listings Cedar: Why is it as soon as someone finds out you know what a needle is and that you actually have a sewing machine they know it is your lifes ambition to make them a new dress? I sew straight seams, not darts and all that. Right now I am putting gussets in overalls for a friends husband because her machine won't sew through the thick stuff. Waist is already 60 inches so it is easier to make them bigger than take off a pound or so. Glad I am not one of his major arteries! LOU

Never mind they don't intend to pay me but just oh such a small amount! Well Friends or not my answer was NO! I wonder if sometimes I look like I have "STUPID" wrote across my forhead. Ha! Hope you feel better soon! Max= Yes I am counting the days>>>> I will spend my days off cooking because all the family comes to my house. We get out on Tuesday and I start cooking on Wed. morning and cook all day long. But I do have Friday to myself. I do enjoy having the family over but it is tiring. Hope you have good-luck with the magazines. Doris= Hope Bigfoot gets to feeling better soon!! And you take care. Well ,This is High School Football night. DH and his brother have gone to the game.

Neighbor lady called last night after dark (she was alone) and heard a bunch of coyotes "screaming" nearby. I didn't hear the boogers or I would have been petrified. Guess the wildlife is beginning to feel the shortage of vittles. DORIS: Sorry to hear about Bigfoot. hope he is feeling better after seeing the doc. If he is like all other men, they do seem a lot better when being checked out by Nurse Goodbody. You had your bad spell there so no more for you! let us know how BF is doing. Such a wonder all the new drugs. Sure most of us would not be around if not for them. LOU: Sounds like FRED needs some of that Vicks on his dose.

Have to run because I am taking Bigfoot in to the Dr. He just had to work outside on those cold rainy days and it caused his asthma to really give him a bad time. Coughing all night etc. The Dr. says to "get him in" when he gets like that...He gives him predsesone {sp} and he gets better pretty fast...It's the same stuff that nearly killed me....I never want to get close to that again. But it is good stuff for many things.... SBIT Doris

I began wondering about you at that time. ROFL. I join the others in waiting to see your decoration. As usual, it will be stunning I am sure. I may not even put up a tree this year. Is everyone cooking for the holiday? I probably will not (hehehehe). I am open for invites, ya know. I can bring dessert.

My Aunts were always counting how many stitches used in quilts. My favorite thing was the homemade rag rugs. Finding all your clothes in them. Remember a skirt I made in class. Made out of Indian head cloth, it was riddled where I took the darts out so much. Enjoy the chats about hubby in kitchen. they tell me mine very good cook when guys are camping. In 50+ yrs. have never had a chance to find out. LOL Judy, thanks for posting the Greyhound picture. Now I know what you guys were talking about. Karen, are we there yet? Cedar, checking and don't see anything else about headaches, so hope all is well. allie, a tape recorder probably would be a great idea. 6 might get a little expensive. jsan, talked my DD into going to my chiropractor ONE time.

And yes my eye is some better today. Thanks for your concern. Doris= Most of the time through the week DH always fixes supper and I usually clean up the kitchen afterwards. But on week-ends I usually cook and clean the kitchen.But he knows that if he waited for me to come home from work and cook he would get a bowl of cereal. Everyone have a quiet, restful night and one great blast tomorrow!!......Cedar....

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-04-09 at 14:35:12 PST   Listings Cedar, you are right about the young ones not wanting to learn. Sewing now is all fancy. Bret works for the Pfaff dealer and they have a new machine that quilts exactly like hand quilting. That is not fair! Doris: Thank you for the free compliments. I will remember and return the favor some one of these days! Jan: You should know that this little energizer bunny was making hand lotion this afternoon and one of the bottles tipped so I grabbed for it and knocked three more bottles of hot lavender lotion across the kitchen. That was a real mess to clean up, so I came down stairs for a while to get back in the groove. Need to make one more batch of lotion and then can start the baking. Bought jumbo muffin tins for blueberry muffins (gluten free). Already have my bread and noodles made. Just got to do muffins for the lunch room, then some cookies and brownies for the sale table. Also some little carrot cakes. I am going to quit volunteering for all this extra stuff. Ok, I am back to hopping around the kitchen, so I will talk to you later. LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-04-09 at 14:11:17 PST   Listings HI EVERYONE======Very nice day here today. I needed to go to town and that's how I found out how nice it is...Even sun shining...For a change. PICKER---You mean to say that you PAY JAN to say nice things about you? What next? Isn't that sort of Black Mail? We like you the way you are...No need to pay someone to say nice things about you....I guess I will have to call JAN and shake her up a bit... Speaking of JAN===The way I wrote it about Lesley's shelves it sounded like she just went to the workshop and took some old shelving and pounded nails in them the keep them on the wall....Nothing like that at all...She is an Interior Decorator or I should say she used to do that for a living...She had ordered these shelves some time ago and knew just what she was doing. It looks very nice. I may just take a snap shot of it and if I do I will send it to you...The shelves blend very well in the bedroom... JEANIE---Nice to see you again....I am one of those that frequently give the 4 full stars and a bit lower on the shipping...I only buy and never sell so I guess I didn't know that it made a big difference on the feedback....My thoughts are that shipping is just too much...Not the fault of the seller....Now that I see it from your point of view I feel bad that I have done that....I shall from now on check all 5 stars....Live and learn. PICKER---About now I suppose you are crying because I teased you....Really I didn't mean to do that. Just having fun...At your expense...Naughty Doris Well, it was nice to read all the "girl" posts but where are the MEN? FREDFUD hasn't been around for ages....Do wonder what he is doing.... Now that KAT is back and can let MD use her computer I thought we would hear from him a little more...Where are you MD? LOU---I did read some of your Blog...Very interesting...You write nicely...And you are one ambitious person...Talented too...You don't have to pay me for all these nice things I am saying about you...They are free... Well, time to head for the kitchen...Someone mentioned that they needed to head for the kitchen because their DH was already in there. I could wait for eons before Bigfoot would enter the kitchen first....However he does the dishes so I better not complain.....SBIT Doris

As for the listings, I would suggest you put the item on for the least you would take for it, and hope there are bidders out there who are looking specifically for that item. Then hope that the bidding begins! You can do research with ebay and with Google to see if you can find info. Sorry I cannot be of more help, and good luck to you. LOU: Quite a site there and you put a lot of work into it. I think you are like the Energizer Bunny! My energy has been used up, methinks. JUDY: I hate to admit this, but i do not know who that Pinky is. I am probably the onliest person here to say that, but you know I don't get off the farm much! LOL. Loved the pic of the bus, brings back memories of the good old days on ebay. Excellent on your advice on the stars. ALLIE: Looks as if you are worn to the bone and can not even post a few lines.

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-04-09 at 09:04:04 PST   Listings I have been listing some collectible that I have had for the past 35 years. They are quite nice . . . I lited them in aution using the reserve price feature the actual listing comes up .99 I have so many watchers and quite a few bids but no where near the reserve price. My question to you sellers is do I put a higher start bid price closer to the reserve price or just take my chances with the .99 start. What have some of you sellers encountered in this type of listing? Have you had better success with reserve listing price and low bid start or better luck with an actual start bid using the reserve price?

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-03-09 at 16:30:54 PST   Listings Cedar, if you don't sell a lot of stuff, you can pretty much tell by the numbers that show on your seller dashboard. Say your number are: 50, 50, 50, 49; and yesterday they were: 49, 49, 49, 49; well, then, the last person who left feedback didn't give you 5 stars for shipping costs. And I agree with Jeanie, that is the crummiest thing because I think most sellers are like me and don't make a red cent on shipping costs. Geez, it is costing more and more to get Jsan to say all this sweet stuff about me. ROFL JEANIE, Jan and I have met in person a few times, she even got kisses from "the princess" (my shih tzu) and we have met for lunch with our DH's before. (Her Bill is the sweetest gentleman you ever wanted to meet!) We only live about 2 hours apart. KAREN and I have been posting on here for around 10 years, and DORIS, ALLIE, JAN, MD, the currently-absent FRED and WILLS, CONNIE...they have been here longer than me so I don't know, but they were so friendly when I first posted. :) When I first started posting, our youngest son was a kid, now he's a freshman in college (at least this semester.) At first you might want to write down names, but before you know it it's like first grade, you remember who everyone is. Now after the comment about remembering, I'm trying to remember who mentioned they couldn't decide what to do with their geraniums. I have been pondering the same thing. I thought the frost would kill them so I wouldn't have to wonder about it anymore, but they are still hanging in there. Cedar, oooh, honey, that pain in the eye sounds awful! I hope it is gone already. I have felt so wonderful since I got my last shot that I think I'm doing too much. It's the greatest to be able to wake up in the morning and not grimace at another day. I went to one of our thrift shops today and found a bunch of trucks for grandson! They are like new and I only paid $4 for the whole box. We do have trucks here for him, so I got the idea to do a new tree this year for him. It's going to be a truck tree. I only have one tree (almost) done; it's Pinky Tuscadero in purple shoes. Of course I'll be taking pictures later, when it's closer to Christmas. Since Jan has been reminiscing (sp?) about the Greyhound Bus, I found a photo my BIL sent to me when it was in their newpaper. Of course it's been years ago so the auction number isn't active anymore. (I only do this once or twice a year so I hope it works.

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-03-09 at 15:10:37 PST   Listings Jsan= How do you know if someone only gives you 4 stars instead of 5? Does it show you somewhere? .Cedar....

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-03-09 at 12:46:40 PST   Listings JEANIE: We wondered what happened to you. Some of us have met and/or speak on the phone and/or just have chatted for years. The group of folks hanging on this corner are a very nice bunch and very knowledgeable. Ebay is a learning place. Once you have learned all ebay puts out on selling/buying, there are many many things that are learned on the chat boards. Questions answered and help to other chatters. You are right about the stars. Some refuse to leave feedback no matter what. And always remember, you cannot please everyone! Just do the best you can. CEDAR: The Dollar store reading glasses are the very thing my doc advised immediately after surgery. It will be a while before your eyes are adjusted and you can get your final pair. What happened to your other eye? All will be well, just takes time to heal. Remember to use the magnifying glass! ha. JUDY will give you the best advice on shipping in the States or internationally. Plus her descriptions are the very best. Ebay should hire her to teach! We tease her as she is the one of the chosen few who sold a Greyhound bus on ebay! ROFL. Well, hope you have all voted by now for whoever you want. We did the absentee thang as we usually do.~~~Jsan

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-03-09 at 12:09:17 PST   Listings Holy Cow...I haven't been in the Chat Room for several days and was amazed at all the pictures and discussion. I'm the gal who sent the packages to the wrong places...It probably took almost 3 weeks to get it all straighten out. One buyer was very understanding and left me a nice feedback. The other one was cranky through messages but never left me a feedback. I was just happy to get it resolved. The thing that bugs me the most right now is the "star system". I mail my stuff immediately and charge low postage and handling but there is always someone that gives me 4 stars instead of 5. I think some people just don't want to give 5 stars no matter what. Does this "bug" any of you guys. Have you guys known each other a long time? Your conversations are so friendly. I don't think I could keep everyone straight. But it is fun to read. See you guys later. Jeanie

THIS AM AND TOLD HIM THAT MY RIGHT EYE WOKE ME UP LAST NIGHT HURTING LIKE A REALLY BAD SINUS HEADACHE IN MY RIGHT TEMPLE!! HE SAID IT WAS INFLAMED,BUT WOULD GET BETTER WITH THE DROPS. MY LEFT EYE NEVER HURT ONE BIT. REALLY NEVER KNEW I HAD SURGERY ON IT! Doris-Two- Your DH won't believe how much better he can see. Even colors are brighter! I think we forget how things once looked! Jsan= I couldn't see up close so I went to the Dollar Store and got me a pair of glasses there and can see great up close now. They will do until the Dr. tells me I'm ready for their glasses! I don't ship international I am scared too I have heard alot of bad stories Maybe when I retire I will have more time to study up on it. Maybe then? Doris = The surgery is a breeze!! No problem-Just the thought of it!! That's all. You will be so excited when you know you can really see things so much clearer and bright. It's amazing/ Really it is! Let me know when. Lou= Really amazes me about the blanket! I think it is a thing of the past around here. The young people don't even want to learn to sew much less anything else/unless it has to do with the mall!! Well I hear DH in the kitchen guess I will see if he needs my help. ..BBL.Cedar.....

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-03-09 at 05:35:42 PST   Listings Morning peepers. Cawfee tastes expecially good this morning after tossing & turning. I am ready (I think) for summa JUDY's back injections! LOU: Made it to the chiopractors office, but had to cancel because of nausea, perhaps anticipation? So will have to reschedule. Your weaving sounds so intricate. We will all be anxious to see it when done! On your shipping, when you have a large item, be sure and check around. I sent a package a while back to the State of Washington and saved lotsa $$ by using UPS! Check out everything on weighty things, you will save yourself a lot of grief and your customers lotsa dough. As always, check and double check your shipping rates! CEDAR: knew the surgery would go well. Now you can see the horizon! Ha. You will be eternally grateful you made that decision. KARNE: Bon Voyage and stay safe! Have oodles of fun. And stay in touch. Don't let that lappie get far from you. We will be watching for KARING reports. DORIS: What a clever idea for Lesley and the shelves! She seems to be a very sharp lady and she has come very far with the heart problems and all. Much credit to the family (especially Mark) for such support. One needs support. Some have no one when they face obstacles. We should all be very thankful for family and friends. Your cataract surgery will be a snap, just ask CEDAR! ha. Your eyes will change dramatically at first, and will change again for about 3 months. Don't be in any hurry to get final glasses. Your ophthalmologist will advise you so do listen to her/him. I am lucky to have a lady MD in Marietta and she is top notch! I would be happy to recommend her anytime, anyhow. Worth the drive! JUDY: hey there gurl friend! Thought you had gone to Vegas also and lost all your money and could not get back home. Suppose that happened to our Asphat FARMERFRED? Thanks for more eBay info. Always interesting to learn more here, especially from folks who have "gone thru it". How are the trees coming? Any more to report? Hows that Gbaby?? betcha Gramma is already shopping hard for him. DORISTUTU: Be very careful with that gnee! Its a tricky thing. Have you tried the SynVisc? Its a marvelous thing for delaying surgery on that area. And it really works. Will give you instant relief. Talk to an orthopod. But you will only be delaying the inevitable I am afraid. Hope everyone has a goog day. I have lots of things planned including a massage! Thank googness for a wonderful DH. I could not do without him!~~~~~~Jsan

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-03-09 at 04:01:26 PST   Listings Well, I fell out of bed bright and early this morning, so guess I can get a running start at the day! Doris 2: Do you take glucosmine for your joints? I get the liquid at Sam's and swill it like hooch. Keeps me moving. On the international scene: I have been shipping, but mostly to Canada. Have had no problem as long as I use the post office. I sent a serger up there yesterday. I can not get over how much it costs to ship this stuff! I sent the serger for $43.25, but when I was looking up the postage, I did not notice that the destination was set on United Arab Emerite and it came up $231.00. I need to learn to slow down and do all the steps. When I was getting my packages ready I kept remembering the girl who got them mixed up, so I double checked about 6 times. Hope they all went where they were supposed to! I have the loom thread ALL through the reed and am about half done with the threading of the heddles. If all goes well I should be able to start weaving tomorrow. Course tomorrow I have to take the stuff in to the weaving sale and deliver my recycleable stuff to the college and get ready for the church sale. No rest for the wicked. I am taking lots of pictures so I can put together an album and get it on the web so you can understand better. It is always amazing how one person can explain something very clearly and the other person can see something completely different in their mind! That is why I adhere to the old adage; Seeing is beleiving! Later, LOU

I personally think he would see much better if it could be done right now. I didn't get the eyballs made...neighbor kids are out of town so I'll wait till next year for those. Thanks again for the recipe. Doris: About the time I think my knee pain is gone it rears its ugly head. I was coming up the basement stairs yesterday and all of a sudden it gave out on me and I crawled up the rest of the way. Still haven't heard results from the MRI. Maybe I'll get the nerve to call them tomorrow. No word on the mammo yet either. This knee thing is new to me, one minute its fine and the next it's a big ouchy. Glad your DIL is home and doing well. By the way, your new coat sounds scrumptious! Enjoy! Jan: Hope the therapy didn't get too rough for you today. Have you seen any results at all? Your moon picture is beautiful! Beautiful time of year,right? Hope the shoulder improves soon! Pez: Beautiful tree! You are so clever.But then I'm repeating myself so it's time to go! Take care everybody! Doris Two

Wanted to stop in and give y'all some info before I forget. Karen, have a safe trip. Cedar, I'm so glad you are doing OK, you will be so glad to have that over and done with and to be seeing like a teen again. Doris, glad to hear Lesley is doing OK, too, and she is just going to have to be patient with her ankle now and let it heal. It'll be worth the wait. And your eyes, too, my MIL just wears reading glasses since she had her surgery and before that she wore thick glasses all the time. Here's the info I wanted to share. We recently were on the subject of blocking international bidders. You can select it on your listing page, also, these other options, too, which I think are good: Have received 2 Unpaid item Strike(s) within 1 month(s) Are registered in countries to which I don't ship Have 4 Policy violation report(s) within 1 month(s) Have a feedback score equal to or lower than -1 Like Jan says, we can never learn it all but we can learn more when we share what we've learned.

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-02-09 at 17:32:46 PST   Listings Doris: This bias tape maker is a seperate piece of equipment. I used to use the one on the machine, but that was for sewing it on something. I cut the bias strips, roll them on the roller, feed it through the tape maker, turn it on and it starts coming out all folded and pressed and I just wrap it around a piece of cardboard. If you will send me your email address (and you can do it through ebay by contacating mw) I will send you pictures of the machine and of my loom. Just can't seem to get them on here. Karen: The baby is 4 months and cutest thing I ever seen. Laughs and coos. But alas, he leaks! LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-02-09 at 16:51:20 PST   Listings HI-CEDAR---Happy to hear that the surgery went fine. I will be having that done next month...I haven't had much of anything done to me so I am not looking forward to that at all. But the eye Dr. didn't want to give me new glasses because it wouldn't help much until the cataract is removed... DAN---Nice tree--The leaves are all gone around here..Of course we have quite a bit of pine on our property and also other places around Bay Crest. So it isn't all bare. LOU----Bias tape maker sounds great. I think my sweing machine has a attachment for that but I never gave it a try...Sometimes those attachments don't work worth a hoot and one gets disgusted with them....Sounds like much work for you to set up your loom or whatever it is. I can't imagine just what it is your are talking about with reeds and slits,etc....I just wish I could pop over and take a look...Anyway you sound like a busy one... KAREN---Please don't get fussy about typos...We want you the way you are....I am sorry for making so much fun of you all these years...But really some typos get to be funny and we need laughs. We aren't laughtmg at you---It's just the whole computer thing and it gets to be funny sometimes. Hope you have a nice trip to Texas... I MAX---Thanks for the tip about wearing sun glasses after your eye surgery...I don't know if the Dr. tells a person about that or not...I will get another pair of those changeable ones...That way they will darken when it needs to be done. DORIS TWO Two=====How are you doing? Much better I hope...How is the weather there in IL? Did you get a nice fall? We need more nice weather around here in order to get ready for winter... ALLIE----I suppose you almost have your bags packed and ready to leave...It's been a long stay for you...Do hope all your hard work and efforts pay off and things go well for your Mom... Should mention that Lesley is getting along pretty well...Mark is used to taking care of her because she has been sick so much....She gets up and around some...I can hear her on the floor when she is clomping around on one foot...They have a King size bed...Mark is still sleeping on the floor of the sun room...He slept there most of the summer and liked being able to see the stars etc...So she has his half of the bed for all her needs. She has a little frig with juice and whatever she needs...She has a basket of snacks. She has her computer, TV, and I don't know waht all at her finger tips... Just before she went for surgery she put up a number of shelves on the wall that she looks at. She put I bet 50 pictures of all the family and she can see them all whenever she looks up...That keeps her close to everyone... I got the coat and jacket closet in the hallway all aired and cleaned out today. I put everything on lines in porch...It was a cool breezy day so they got a good airing...Found a lot of kleenex in the pockets of everything...Got all my scarves on a belt holder so that now I can see what I have...More than once I have gotten a new scarf only later to find out that I have that color but just couldn't see it when I needed it...In MN one needs lots of coats and jackets. We need a very light weight coat and jacket for fall...Then we need a little warmer one for most of the winter...Then when it gets really cold we need "down" everything.....Of course I want several colors of each that is why my closet is always over loaded... I took out one more coat...A long London Fog rain coat with a zip in lining....Belted and looks like new. I used to use that when I wore dresses and skirts more...I will see if Lesley would have any use for it before I give it to the used clothing place....My wrists are telling me that I used them for heavy things today...So I will just say "HI" to all others that I didn't mention...Play nice and be good...SBIT Doris

That stuff is very expensive to buy, so this will make it feasible. The baby was here and he is starting to get a neck! I like the babies when they start getting a little animated! Bret loaded up the oleander and took it over to Penny's green house. Now won't have to worry about what the g kids are sticking in their mouth. I got all 960 threads through the reed so I can now thread them through the heddles in the proper sequence. Karen must be on her way by now. Trust she will let us know when she gets there. If I ever go any where I will tell you when I get there. Cedar: Trust you are well? Doris: Where do you go to church? It sure sounds homey. I go to a United Church of Christ, First Congrgational. It is over 100 years old. 130 I think. There are pillows and hand made quilts and lap robes cause it gets pretty drafty. Better get ready to watch the news. Have a tv in the weaving room so can kill 2 birds with one stone. Peace, LOU

Karen, sounds like you are going to be prepared. Had a glider settee I wanted to bring to FL. Just couldn't get it in truck, truck has one of those permanent covers, and no way. Even tried folding down my VW back seats, but to high. Doris, that must have been a long ride for Lesley, with leg propped up. Due to my Murphy's Law, would have had to make at least 3 restroom stops. Lou, what do you use the bias tape for that you use enough to have a machine? Bet we aren't talking about the same thing!! Kids so cute about the moon. They always find that amazing that Granny and they can see that same moon at night. Had quite a few little goblins out. they had some cute outfits. Jsan, nice picture of the full moon. Allie, Jan, others, glad to hear about those little power naps that are popping up. When I take a nap it always ends up way to long. Talk about crazy...it was 90 yesterday and I fixed beef stew with drop dumplings for dinner. Sat in a/c and enjoyed every bite. MD, that sounds like a very fancy basement you are working on. This time change always seems to take a few days to get use to in the fall. Found a big metal tray, all black, with a scene of some city square. There is a name on one of the buildings I am trying to figure out. A partial silver label on back, so this is going to take some research. Couldn't leave it there for $2.50. Hope the wk. is starting out well for all. Hi to all I missed. Max

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 15:49:37 PST   Listings When Bret was small and still with his birth mom and dad, we used to share the moon. He was in Kansas and we were here in colorado, but we both had the same moon. Thanks for looking at it for me! Lou

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 15:23:23 PST   Listings Shine on, Shine on Harvest Moon! The moon is so beautiful tonight. Get out and see it if you can. We are blessed with a clear sky and a terrible photographer, at least you get the idea. If its cloudy where you are, I will gaze at it for you.~~~~~Jsan

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 14:04:05 PST   Listings Ok until I get a picture of something I will tell you what I am doing. I now have the 960 ends measured and tied to the front of the loom. Now I have to thread each end through a slit in the reed. The reed is two pieces of wood with metal wires (10 wires per inch)and the slit is the space between 2 wires. I have to put 2 threads in each space. So far I have threaded 200 through so I only have 760 more to go. Be back later. LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 11:50:07 PST   Listings Jan= I haven't seen a size 2 probably since I was 12 Months old! Ha! That is no joke! ....... Cedar.......

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 08:28:05 PST   Listings CEDAR: Sorry to have stepped on your toes, great minds and all that! You will see even better after this surgery and now you know what to expect. Its such a great surgery and the changes in the medical field have made it such a snap now. We will be thinking of you while you are having it done. Check in afterward when you feel like it. Off to fry the baloney here for lunch~~~~~Jsan

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 08:23:46 PST   Listings LOL LOU! And most are XL. Well, we can't count DORIS who is a size 2. Glad you are feeling goog. Show us a pic of the blanket for your friend. Thats a marvelous hobby, and you show your love for it. DORIS: Glad the "kids" made it home OK. Had to be hard on Lesley. That Mark is one in a million. What super genes you and Bigfoot passed along! Thanks for the prayers, we all can use them! Off to get er dun.~~~~Jan

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 08:17:19 PST   Listings Jan= Thanks for the acronyms. I put it in my favorites because you know I haven't mastered any of those yet! Yes, It is cataract surgery. I had my left one done about 3 weeks ago and OMGosh it is amazing how much better I can see!I can't wait to have this one done! We had 0 trick or treaters here last night. My 3 small G-KIDS came by and looked very cute! Well fixin to start getting dinner on the stove and straighten up some .BBL......Cedar...

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 06:48:30 PST   Listings Feel like a million dollars this morning, or a least the change from a $50. No trick or treaters last night and the boy actually made it home before midnight. He forgot to change his clock till he got home so thinks he was cheated out of an hour! I made 39 breakfast burritoes for our craft fair and have them in the freezer, so that is out of the way. Tomorrow I get to babysit with the little chunk baby. His name is Kayson and he weighs 17 pounds and is 5 months old now. His grndma is bringing him and we are going to make bias tape. I got this cool new machine that I just cut the strips, sew them together, and pull them through the machine and voila! bias tape. So cool! Allie and Jan: I am weaving a blanket for my friend Penny for Christmas.It is 48 inches wide with 20 threads to the inch. It will be beautiful. When I start something like this I become obsessed, so may be a tiny bit scarce until the creative juices are absolved. Not to worry, I know those Ritis boys, and that Arthur is the worst of the lot! I will be going to church with Judy and Doris today. Hey, you girls, wait for me! Well then you just go on! I'll catch up with you there. Don't forget to ask for a blessing for Cedar, and all the others on this board who make me happy! Went to the link and I just want to say G frnds r VHTF. Later, LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 06:38:34 PST   Listings HI---The sun is out but it is much cooler out there today...Supposed to warm up above normal...We will take that. Hope it dries up and stays that way for awhile. Yup I will be in the pew...Actually we sit on chairs...I get there early and get the back row all fixed the way we need it...I drag the comfy chairs back for us and then set up a row folding ones for those that come late....I always remember the chat line in my prayers...Don't know for sure if its always working but at least I give it a try. We had a fun Halloween. We do have two families with smaller children here in Bay Crest....They have great costumes and so do the parents...The parents go to a party afterwards...I always take pictures....In town we used to have maybe on a really nice Halloween Night up to 150 kids...So it is very different out here in the woods... Not too much planned for today...When I open our hall door I can hear kitchen noises upstairs. Somebody must be up making breakfast....Lesley had a hard trip coming home from Mayo....She was in the back seat and has to have her leg up as high as her nose. It's at least a five hour drive...So it was a long one...They did stop once...Mark seemed to think he had to look at new cars...They plan on one maybe this summer...Lots of miles on their old one...Mostly going to Dr. appointments I think... Must be on my way soon...Gotta get the back row of chairs in place....Don't know what that place would do without me...SBIT Doris Yup, that is Mark I hear upstairs...I can tell by the way he walks...Plop, plop....He is too heavy and needs to take off some pounds...Not easy to do when they both like to cook.....

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-01-09 at 04:31:12 PST   Listings MD: I am hooting here! Such a goog lesson there. Now mabey he will learn rules and etiquette of chat boards and the internet in general! I love it. However, I did not like (smile) the witches cauldron in which I was stirring and stirring somebodys head. Thats a new gif. I don't remember that one.You are getting 'clevererncleverer' every year. How old is Mini now? Already girls? Time is flying by, and as handsome as he is, I would say your troubles are just beginning. Have you have a talk with him about the birds and the bees? He is going to be a heartbreaker for some little cuties. Glad to hear that basement is about complete. You been working on it what, 10 years? ALLIE: I am glad we both got naps yesterday. I did remember for once to set the durned clocks back. Today I see the sun peeking in over the hills. Looks like a loverly one! I hope its the same for you. CEDAR: You did not specify, hope it is cataract surgery tomorrow. Thats a snap and the worst part is putting all those drops in the eye. You will be amazed at the change in your vision! Had mine done years ago and rarely put on my bifocals now cept'n to read. You will be fine, and wish you had done it long ago. LOU: Don't know what those things are that you are making with lotsa work, but wish you goog luck with them and no sore hands! Arthur is sneaking up on us all in these later years. BTW, Asphats. For the newbies and oldies that might have forgotten, I found the page for acronyms on eBay. Here it is if you wanna put it in your bookmarks/favorites. http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/acronyms.html Please do so cause I will probably be the one looking for them one of these days again! ha. Off to start on chores. Have a great Sunday everyone. JUDY & DORIS will be in the pews saying little prayers for us all today. Thanks to them, they know who really needs them here! Ha.~~~~~Jan

Posted by   ( ) on Oct-31-09 at 22:03:07 PDT   Listings HI AGAIN!....That kitty on the fence looks like our HARLEY-KAT, who lived 19 years as an outdoor cat. He was such a friendly, sweet cat. : ) JSAN....Boy, you sure dint give me much time on the ol' couch this ayem. ; / That's too funny about the mummy costume. LOL! I must admit I had my share+ of the candy stash well before handing it out today. *snarfle* DORIS....Your eating routine sounds much like TOMKAT's and mine when I'm home in CA...very much. : ) The colors of you new coat sound perfect and just what I would have chosen. I'll bet it will be lovely! Glad you had some sun today. Our temps tonight are supposed to dip down to 27, but some sun in store for the next three days hopefully. So many cloudy days are just depressing I'll tell ya! DAN....You got the best Halloween treats of anyone. : ) CEDAR....What an adorable grandson to say that about you. Love it! : ) I sure wish I did have the recipe for you, but it was just with a bunch of other ghoulish cakes in an email. The eyeball cake is the mildest one of them all. Some of the others were real stomach churners. LOL! What kind of eye surgery are you having on Monday? You bet you'll be mentioned in prayer!! : ) Enjoy your Sunday with family tomorrow. Sounds great! LOU....That sounds like a large project! Take you time and don't mess up your shoulder. We tend to push things too far sometimes and then can't do anything for a long time because of the damage to our bods. : O But then I'm sure that you know that. ; ) That big 'marshmallow' floating on JAN's cauldron looks a tad suspicious, so I think I'll pass on it. ROTFLOL! MD....Very happy to hear that KAT had a goog time! You'll prolly be hearing stories for a long time to come. : ) Holy cow! 250! You musta just stood there at the door and passed out candy as the line went by. That's a ton of candy. I cannot imagine that many kids. Geez! LOL! And MINI is now taller than both of his parents. Man, just does not seem possible! ; )

Posted by   ( ) on Oct-31-09 at 21:08:37 PDT   Listings Well:  I'm going to guess we had 250 plus kids here tonight "trick or treating." Mini Me went to a Halloween party. (with girls) There were supposed to be about 70 kids there. Braver parents than I! Basement is all drywalled and doors are hung. Now we have to make the "Mission style" trim and do the finishing work. Carpet and flooring yet to come. Were not in any hurry to finish because were both working full time. Mimi Me's basketball is starting. He's taller now than Kat and I. Go figure... MD

Posted by   ( ) on Oct-31-09 at 17:55:21 PDT   Listings Jsan's cooking again tonite

Posted by   ( ) on Oct-31-09 at 17:47:08 PDT   Listings Allie:  I didn't delete it but fixed it. Yes Kat is back home and things are getting back to normal around here. Normal as it gets anyway. She had a great time and got lots of pictures. It's goog to have her back as we all missed her. MD

Posted by   ( ) on Oct-31-09 at 17:10:56 PDT   Listings Yes, Doris, I think you need a new coat, so that makes it official. Jan: My husbands ex wife tried the ostrich bit. Think she paid $15,000 for a pair that did the egg thing, but one of them was firing blanks cause the eggs were not fertile. She wound up fixing an omlet that no one would eat, and donating the pair to the zoo. Some where along the way she came up with ostrich meat that no one would eat. I see you on that steak business. I mostly eat this and that, but do get hungry for a bawling piece of beef on occasion. Allie: I think you are right on the llamas just eating and parting with their fur once a year. They probably rank right up there with my ducks and geese. I could buy a lot of eggs for what those guys cost to feed, but I love them. I have one goose I can actually pet and another that follows me around and talks to me. Call the guys in the little white coats cause I have gone around the edge! Yes, Cedar, my prayers will be with you on Monday. I may need some prayers here also. I have started measuring the warp for Penny's blanket and will need 960 ends. Not sure the old shoulder will hold up for that. Have 200 and have to take a break. Woe is me! Ok, I think it is time to eat again. 2 grandkids came over today and we made the eyeballs. They decided it would go a lot quicker if they made them bigger than the 1". Theirs were about 2 inches through. That is a lot of sugar and butter to try and gag down, but I ate one. May never be the same. I am going to make some cornbread. Have to set the clock back tonight. Hope I remember! I'm off to see the WIZARD!! LOU

Posted by   ( ) on Oct-31-09 at 16:26:41 PDT   Listings TRICK OR TREATING....is over in FONDY. They did it today from 3:30-5:30. We only had about 20 or so kiddles. A few cute costumes in the bunch. Very windy and chilly for them. Temp was about 40, but wind chill was at 28. YIKES! I remember some really cold ones from a few centuries ago when I 'T or T'd around here. Brrrrrr........... MAX....The popcorn balls way back when were purty durn goog. Wonder if anyone still makes 'em?! Hope your busty day went well. : ) LOU....I'll be interested in the results of your llama survey. ; ) Always thought that alotta feed and maintenance went into those creatures with only fur as an income source. MD....You oughta delete that gif for awhile, so he can't use it. Saw it on another board, too. He deserves a pizza box. : / Oops, gotta git fer now! BBLM!
