    How apropos :-)

    I just did my 30 minutes on the exercycle (2 weeks into the new year and I'm still on my diet and exercise!) and after watching X-Men while I cycled switched on the CD player. It's a nasty, wet, icky, drizzly day here, the kind where you want to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea...

    Thunderbird Alert!

    Thunderbird has just upgraded to V1.5. MAKE SURE that you read the install/release notes before upgrading to this version. Apparently they want you to un-install previous versions before installing this one (at least if it's going in the same place I guess.) I didn't and now I'm having problems...

    Kitty in the Kitty Tree

    Narsil obliged me today by staying still long enough to get an available light pic. Still had to enhance it a bit as it was still a bit dark.

    This is cool

    I had no idea it would do this. On Photobucket you can check a photo (or photos) then go down to the bottom and click on "Generate HTML and IMG Code" and produce as one of the options clickable thumbnails. Learn something new everyday! Saves handcoding .

    Chicken & Rice Casserole recipe?

    I'm really trying to avoid going to the store (tomorrow's payday.) Does ANYBODY have some sort of a Chicken & Rice recipe that does NOT use any cream soups in it? I think I've looked at about 100 and they ALL do it seems like! I've got boneless-skinless chicken breasts (frozen), canned...

    Oversized pix

    Would it be possible for the mods, instead of replacing oversized pix with the cute little snake, to turn the pix into a link instead? I believe all that would have to be done would be to paste over the tags. It's sooooo disappointing to pull up a thread in anticipation of cute pix and...

    What do you WISH you'd bought?

    This is about driving me nuts. When we moved into this house we had some extra money in the budget and used some of it to get some badly needed "real" furniture (you know, the kind that you don't have to put together or that comes from the thrift store ). Well, we decided to get a leather sofa...

    Drowned rat, er, pup!

    Kellie's been getting a bit "whiffy" so --- Told Narsil & Mithril they were next, heh-heh. Kellie did not appreciate them sneeeeeeeaking up on her to sniff this strange smelling --- wet --- apparition and gave several little warning growls. Never mind the fact they outweigh her by a good bit...

    Jack O' Lanterns - How Long Do They Last?

    I'd kinda like to do a couple of Jack O' Lanterns this year, but I havent done any for YEARS (like 20!) How long do they last once you open up the pumpkin? I saw one website reference that said like 2 days?!? Is that true? Means I'd have to carve them the Saturday or Sunday Morning before...

    Britcom Suggestions?

    My sister got me onto this, I swear, I'm turning into an anglophile ! The only Britcoms we have access to are the once a week offerings by my local Public Televison Station of Keeping up Appearances (Love it!), As Time Goes By (my fave, Judy Dench is great!) Fawlty Towers (the jury's out ,)...

    TIP: keeping dry food contained

    I know I've seen a couple posts on the problem of dry food escaping the bowl as it were, and I thought my own solution might help someone. This was actually meant to be temporary to keep the dog out of the food, but it works so well I might keep it. Rubbermaid has a type of container called a...

    A very nice Friday!

    I'm sure some folks wouldn't think so, as we did have overcast skies today and a very light rain at times. But it was also much cooler than it has been, a high only in the 60's. We sort of "luxuriated" in the cool. Sunny had the day scheduled off (to make a 4 day weekend out of it, Monday's a...

    Oooooold Family pix ---

    Mods, not sure where to put this, as it is a picture thread, although fur is not involved feel free to move if deemed necessary. I know most everybody has some old family pix, and I'm sure others may enjoy looking at the really old ones as well. Here's a few from my own family... This is my...

    SO annoyances ?

    WHAT does your Significant Other do that annoys you? You know what I'm talking about, not the relationship breaking types of things, but the sorts of things that you just grit your teeth and say "I wish s/he would/would not do _____" (fill in the blank) and then get past it as you roll your eyes...

    computer helper ...

    I had Sunny take this pic. Please ignore the just washed hair, and yes, that's a beer beside the monitor ... Hmmm, but I wonder what's on the screen? Could it be TCS LOL? Maybe someday I'll actually get a halfway decent shot of my own mug and put it on here . Mithril just about insisted that...

    Weird and unusual decor

    One of my favorite sites: Design Toscano I actually have this hanging in my den, although I did not buy it from them as I found one on eBay for half the price (lucked up, the vendor has since raised his price on this to something more comparable.) I keep drooling after a lot of the...
