Damn, if I only had some vodka here I would too - I may just settle for V8 and beer . . .

Yay, ChipChop!! It's cold and raining here and we're thrilled (as we need the water so very badly) - I just hope it doesn't rain tomorrow for my People Paddle event though.

Yes darling, it's nasty here today, too. Guess I'll stay inside and dink.


Good luck with your People Paddle!

[Zydekitten]

Yes, yes - come over to the dark side and dink with me!!! ;)

Thanks for the good wishes - well, I've kayaked in rain before, so it wouldn't be too awful, but definitely not as much fun as paddling in good weather.

They're forecasting party sunny, breezy and cool with a high of 58 - that would be okay. :)

[pokerchick66]

Well chit, let's do some shots then.

My kayaking is tomorrow, but Denbear and I will be driving down to the City today and staying with a friend of mine. We're going to try to eat at Farmer Brown's and then maybe either go see Toot and the Maytals at the Warfield (ah, brings back memories) or a NOLA-style brass funk band at the Condor.

It'd be great to see you, but I understand if you can't :(

Can you come to Crawfish Fest possibly? Are you a nurse?

[ozzie]

Morning!

[pokerchick66]

A miracle just occurred at the Walmart. I actually went straight to a register with NO ONE IN LINE. Unheard of.

Besides me getting several things on sale (they even had those huge containers of strawberries for a $1!), I got everything I was looking for, too. I even got some killer capri pajamas on sale for $7! And the very best thing was I went by the bakery and the lady just got through baking some chocolate-filled croissants and I got one fresh made. It was still warm. Whewwww. Damn, that thing was GOOD! And when I went outside, it had stopped raining. lol, I actually left Walmart today happy and smiling. :)

[NYMAMA]

Thank you and carry on.

[Amy Winette]

Hi all!!

Oh boy Oz, MD's got you in the shower now?? ;)

Reverend in the bar tonight, Gumbo, where's our priest??

Whew, feels good to be catching up. I've been watching I Love the 80s on VH1 in the background today while filling our more bar apps (ugh, I'll be taking the parts I need to take for Wyoming and Idaho in July, then Montana in February, yes, that will make SIX bar exams) and putting pix in albums, OCD person that I am, once I started this project last wee (I haven't put pix in albums since HIGH SCHOOL) I haven't been able to stop.

I haven't fest shopped yet. Still. Going to do it next weekend when Jeff's back home . . . He's gotta fest shop too!

[ozzie]

Don't fret Amy... I think he's at the beach. Might have been doing some whale watching through the bathroom window!

How's the real estate situation?

[ozzie]

I just have to do one more shopping trip to get something warm for my toes in NYC. Thought about white socks to go with my sandals.... then thought better of it!

Cute dress Chip!

Whale watching, you shush silly!! :)

Real estate's definitely coming back now that it's spring, we got a lot of things upgraded on the house while folks were here, so busy now that we'll proabably wait til after fest to list.

Got the word Thursday that I have the choice at work of structuring an alternative arrangement of my choice until our biz picks up or getting a nice package if I want to go -- I've been thinking and haven't said it yet, but I'm wanting to go home and the timing and all just seems like fate, eh??

[pokerchick66]

Hi all!!

Oh boy Oz, MD's got you in the shower now?? ;)

Reverend in the bar tonight, Gumbo, where's our priest??

Whew, feels good to be catching up. I've been watching I Love the 80s on VH1 in the background today while filling our more bar apps (ugh, I'll be taking the parts I need to take for Wyoming and Idaho in July, then Montana in February, yes, that will make SIX bar exams) and putting pix in albums, OCD person that I am, once I started this project last wee (I haven't put pix in albums since HIGH SCHOOL) I haven't been able to stop.

Yea, I saw md's post; didn't want to touch that one with a 10 ft. pole!

I love the 80s! What was your favorite?

Can't believe you're taking SIX bar exams. That's awesome. I'm sure you'll pass every one.

I finally put all my cruise pix in a beautiful photo album; that IS a project. But I'm so glad it's done. Now I need to catch upon all the rest. :eek: That will take forever. I think I should start a fest photo album. That would be cool.

[ozzie]

Wow... I'll say!

Same sort of thing happened to Ken. He gave them a year's notice of retirement (so impulsive!) and then a few weeks later his boss told him the company in Europe wants to sell off PNG so shush on the retirement and pick up a redundancy... might have to work a few more months but worth it!

You started your project after your last wee? Now that's what I call contol!
And hey, doing weddings is thirsty work!;)

[Amy Winette]

Oh PC, god, I think I've filled a dozen albums now! I am obsessive, when I finally started last weekend, I worked a solid 12 hours, sitting on the floor with pix and albums spread out, didn't even take a break to eat, realized at the end my back and everything else was killing me!

Then went back to ofoto and snapfish etc and ordered more pix in 3 batches, got the first of tose put in today. Anybody who comes to visit me had better plan on a few hours of forced viewing of my albums -- haha!

Haha, funny, but truly I did barely stop to pee during the whole process ;)

Weddings are certainly thirsty work! In the past 15 years of photos, I've probably had more pix of weddings than anything. I love weddings :)

Hey back again, this time I am at the bar for the night. I am in the middle of laundry that I have been neglecting. My bosses are getting really ticked at me wearing my footie pjs to bored meetings so I figure I better get some dress clothes washed.

I need more fest-related activity so I will have a beer :D

[Amy Winette]

Okay, the first song I can remember really really loving in the 80s, that I would stay up listening to the radio hoping it would come on, was Sheena Easton's Almost Over You . . . 1983. I was 9 :) Ahh, still moves me!!

Sounds good, Blue. I love potatoes with my eggs for breakfast. My grandma used to dice potatoes and brown them in the skillet and pour eggs over them then add a little grated cheese on top for a yummy omelet.

I had a poached egg, turkey bacon and wheat toast for breakfast. I want to grill some fish and chicken today but that wind is just whipping around today. I'm freezing!

[bluedog]

did everyone get their tax checks in the mail yesterday? Oh sweet Jesus that was most painful trip to post office yesterday! C'est la vie ....

[mwgirlonherown]

Good Morning guys!
mwgirl, how are you and your health? Can you please email me?
Scoop I emailed you about Ozzie and when we could meet up.

I'm good girl. I hope everything is okay out on the island. I understand that LI is going to get pounded with wind later. How close are you to the water?

Alot of standing water here. We have a retaining wall in the backyard that once held an above ground pool. 'Looks like an inground pool at the moment. The good news is the birds are still feeding (even attracted a red headed woodpecker with suet cake earlier). The bad news is Kevin is working a double with public service today. Not a good day to be on a pole handling high voltage power lines!

I'll email you from my home addy right now.

See you soon and you and Jude stay dry and safe.

[Orleansnj]

Hey kids !

What's up? I'm watchin' the rain.....had quite a weekend - ended up in the ER yesterday - thinkin' it was kidney stones - turns out to be massive back spasms.....took some nifty pain killers that I didn't like (WAAAAYYYYYYY too powerful for this chica) and am now sittin' it out for a few days on a low does anti-inflamatory.

Mr. Onj is in the kitchen fixing up some chicken mamou (paul prudhomme recipe - modified -without quite as much butter....)

I could, however, use a beer. The weather outside was just made for havin' a beer.

PS - PC - LOVE that dress - was looking at one online at Nordstrom's but that had sold out of my size - bad, bad, bad Nordstroms.

I kinda like it that dresses are back in style !

[NYMAMA]

So ladies whats the general opinion on dresses? I bought 3 sundresses and a nice skirt (Hi my name is Deb and Im a shopoholic). Are you wearing them to the shows and the patry?

Hey Onj!!!
I can definitely feel your pain!!!:(
Take care of yourself and get lots of rest before you get here.
Watch what you do and think about how you move before you do it. Bend your knees, not your waist. If you have to pick something up, bend your knees and keep it close to your body.

I'm cooking dinner and did laundry meself. The only difference is you got sunshine. Saw this recipe on CBS Morning Show yesterday. Deen brothers recipe. (Paula Deens sons) It sounded too good and easy to pass up so I'm trying it tonight. (cut down for just me)

ROASTED LEMON CHICKEN WITH RED GRAPES

Ingredients:

4 to 5 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs (bone in) / or 1 whole chicken cut into pieces
1 clove garlic, halved
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds seedless red grapes
1 teaspoon sugar

Method:

1. Preheat over to 425 degrees. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken pieces all over with the cut sides of the garlic clove. Place chicken in a large bowl.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, the lemon zest, and lemon juice; season generously with salt and pepper. Pour the butter mixture over the chicken pieces and toss to coat.

3. In a separate bowl, toss together the grapes, the remaining two tablespoons melted butter, and the sugar. Season the grapes with salt and pepper. Arrange the grapes in the bottom of a 9-by-13 baking pan.

4. Place the chicken on top of the grapes. Roast, without turning, for 40 to 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when chicken is pricked with a fork.

Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ah, I remember in the span of a couple of weeks seeing Def Leppard (in the round) and then Kiss. Loud and dumb, nothin better.

Nice Scoop! I've seen none of those (Def Leppard, KISS or Bon Jovi) in concert!

[ScoopJohnD]

I'm shocked....especially Def Leppard. Did see an abbreviated Bon Jovi show in Times Square. I can't remember if it was for the Grammys or MTV awards. They did about 4 songs and they were fun too. 'Bad Medicine' is an admitted guilty pleasure of mine by them. 'Photograph' and 'Let's Get Rocked' by Leppard and I think 'Cold Gin' is my favorite Kiss song.

[Amy Winette]

Well . . . In the 80s I was in Montana and those bands didn't come there. I think I had a chance to see Def Leppard out here recently but I had some conflict, boo :( I would love love love to see Bon Jovi someday!!

I saw Bon Jovi in concert at the Biloxi Coast Coliseum. You Give Love A Bad Name is my favorite of theirs. I used to be madly in love with him.

It IS a very nutritious dink!!!
So, your aunt is 100? Have you had time to sit and talk with her about life when she was young?

[VWGal]

My auntie is really something -- she taught my mom (11 years her junior) how to sew -- they were dirt poor in the depression years and so they'd get hand me downs from ladies in town who were well off, take apart the garments, recut them and sew them into fabulous creations! She wound up being a professional seamstress well into her 80's at a men's store. She's been widowed many years and has had several rest home beaus in her time.

We asked her the secret of her long life? She said "be happy and mind your own business"!

I have always regretted not taping any of my grandparent's musings. There were so many interesting stories. I'm trying to get my kids interested in taping my mom....Have you documented any of your family's stories??

[VWGal]

That is actually a great idea RT -- I sat my mom and dad down over 15 years ago and got their stories on tape, all the famous ones that we'd heard while growing up. It took a while to get them to warm up and tell those tales with enthusiasm, I think they were nervous with the tape recorder on. My dad passed away in 1992, and my mom has Alzheimers, so those stories are precious.

A little side tale: we went to see my mom in the home where she now lives at 89 years of age. She hasn't known us for some years now, and she is now having trouble stringing together words to make sentences. But unbelievably, she can still play harmonica! We got her started, and there we were, rolling her down the hallway in her wheelchair while she played several note-perfect verses of Battle Hymn of the Republic. Our entire family is musical and like so many in her era, playing an instrument was something everyone did to amuse themselves.

My sister and I managed to hold onto our tears until we were outside, but that was some moment for us!

[pokerchick66]

AYE!!!!!! Wasup, PC?

Wasssssuppppp!! Wohoo, the bar is kicking now!

What can I getcha?
