Me and Sam had a arguing match today.  I won, but Sam made me 22 minutes late to work.  Cantankerous old truck...lol

And the clouds have moved on. It's actually sunny here now. I've dropped Chey off at school, paid the truck payment, got a haircut, and am at the library. I have Elvis Presley's motto going on today..."Takin' Care of Business"  :P

I'm at WM. dad messed the zipper up on his only pair of pants last night, so he decided that today we would go buy him some pants. we have been trying to convince him to get new ones for months now, and since he busted the zipper, he thinks it's finally ok.

Lord.

So we are at Mcds in WM, fixing to go look around. I think Ill look elsewhere. Pants shopping is not my idea of a good time.

Then we are going to a mini flea market here in town to try and find a cast iron skillet. Ours is in storage...I think. Not real sure. Could have been stolen when the house was broke into a few weeks ago. Either way, I can't find it and I HAVE to have a cast iron skillet to make dinner tonight.

We are having LIVER AND ONIONS, rice, and spinach.

Seth is invited for dinner. All you can eat. ;)

Made a pretty tasty pizza last night using coconut flour. Very simple too :) Only bad thing was that the brand new mozzarella cheese I bought was moldy :smirk2: So..I had to pick through every strand and make sure it wasn't moldy. Then I just threw it all away and sent Kraft a nice little email :)

Hope everyone's having a good day.

SippinTea:  Well, back it down to #6 duck then, would that be too crazy thick?

Honestly, I don't remember. It's been a long time since I've worked with duck. If you really want a cape out of duck I'll be happy to take a trip to the fabric store and refresh my memory.

Actually, come to think of it, I'll probably have to make a fabric store run sometime next week (or the week after) so I'll try to remember to look while I'm there.

Well now, Officer Roscoe.... SOME of us would NOT know that, because SOME of us do not frequent such places. :P :P

Mel, I can't help it. I'm *snortlaughing* at your dad. The idea of only having one pair of pants that work, and not realizing that it might be handy to have a 2nd pair for when something happens to the first one.... *gigglesnort* I'm annoyed at him for making it harder for you, but I'm also amused at the ridiculousness of the whole thing. ;) However.... *double hugs* for you today, 'cause it sounds like you could use them. ;)

Dad got three pairs of pants at WM. and we priced iron skillets there too. 15.98 for a new one. We went to the mini flea market, and I got one for FOUR DOLLARS! Used! That means seasoned already. Yay!

Gonna go wash it and oil it down real good and put it in the oven for a few hours to make sure the bacteria is all killed. Dont need any germs on it but our own.

He is like me. Just enough clothes to get by. I currently have one good jean skirt. And one black dress skirt.

That's all.

But I'm content. I don't need a bunch of clothes.


It drives Justin crazy that I'm like that.

Roscoe, got any ideas on how to make a 2002 Mustang convertable a smoother ride? Thought about getting those nice tires from Goodyear that is suppose to be a smoother ride with; can't remember what they are called. Not sure if it would be a wise decision.
My hubby's nickname is shep and that would make me ladyshep. :)

Not really. A Mustang, like a Camaro, Challenger, ect is by definition a muscle car/sportscar which means it is designed for handling. Unfortunantly, the things that make one handle  well- stiffer springs-  make its ride stiffer.  :smirk2: I'd imagine the tires wouldn't make enough of a difference for you to notice much.
Mini might can help better than I on this one...I've never owned a Mustang, and he had the honor of having a GT Convertible- or Chellebelle did and let him drive it.  :P

Who wants a mushy smooth ride?  I hated it when I had to drive my Grandma's car because it was made to be a "luxury" car, really soft suspension, and you can't really feel the drive. 

Roscoe:  All kidding aside, I have no idea what a whiskey soaked style is.  I probably have some in my collection that falls under that heading though.  If, in your explorations of those DVDs, you have found any, please let me know.

MelodyB:  And gravy?  Need some gravy with that liver and onions.  Beef, chicken or pork liver?  And do I qualify for this all-you-can-eat invite?  :D
I find it impractical to stick with just ONE pair of pants, but I like to keep my wardrobe small.  When I was living in east TN I could pack all the clothes I owned into a backpack, which was a good thing because I rode a bike everywhere - including to the laundromat.   :smirk2:

I need to go get some stove gas here directly.
What exactly is "stove gas"?

Gas that the stove burns.  :eyebrow:


The tank was not actually empty.....for some reason the stove priorly ceased burning and we assumed it was out....I don't know what the deal was there....so for now I didn't go get any.

So... propane or butane, maybe?

If so, the truck usually brings it to the house around here.

Unless you're cooking on a camp stove and using Coleman fuel...  :updown:

I might be able to...

We had a Mustang, and enjoyed it.  The ride is what the ride is...sporty.  Not as rough as a Corvette, but not as soft as other cars.  What is it doing?

Propane. 

It runs off large cylinder tanks.  We've just been picking it up ourselves for a long time, I forget what the deal was, couldn't hardly get the gas people to do it or what it was...  Years ago my uncle used to haul all our gas cylinders all the time.

Okay one more whiskey joke and I'll leave you alone, promise...

Roscoe was the "whiskey soaked" style a result of mixing rock 'n' roll with rock 'n' rye?   :biglaugh:

Not sure what rock 'n' rye is, but I hear it's some kind of whiskey... someone said as a result of mixing the two he wound up seeing and hearing double.  Seems the hearing double part would interfere with my music though.   :roll:

Okay, I'm out of whiskey jokes.  As promised, I will now leave you alone.

Yeah, I know it's not like a luxury ride or anything, but I hate feeling every single bump, noone seems to fix roads anymore. Someone suggested these tires from Goodyear. http://www.goodyear.com/en-US/tires/assurance-comfortred-touring

You guys are still talking about that whiskey joke?  :smirk2:

1st - You might GO there due to employment, but why do you stick around for the singing? :hypocrite:

I have not read anything posted in the last few sharing threads I have a lot to catch up on. Sorry for not being on much in the last *Stops to ponder how long it's been*.... Any how... I'm alive working a lot and trying to make some very hard decisions for my life right now. At this very current moment I am in a library and have a killer headache, just got off of work and have not been to church in a bit. I have been awake the last few nights weighing out a lot of things.
The library is about to close, gotta go, I love you all... PLEASE pray for me.
Mel don't trip I'm fine.. Really, I'm just updating everyone on my life.
