Happy to hear you're all doing okay, Jeanette. The rain we're getting is from the remnants of Hurricane Sergio, which came up across from the west coast of Mexico. It's supposed to rain most of the weekend. And turn cold next week - into the 30s and 40s even. That's gonna test my resolve to not turn on the heat until the 1st of November.

I forgot to mention...Not only did I get spectacular results at the doctor's yesterday but I bought a lottery ticket on the way home and scratched off $100.00. It was a good day!

I have problems getting on, freedom forums does not even come up....just that taptalk. Oh, Carmen, I'm sorry! That's my fault! I had "freedomforums" on the brain and screwed up telling you the link. Clean up my mess and you'll probably have nooo more problems getting on here. It's FREE Forums, not FREEDOM Forums. I had a terrible time the first few days - I couldn't get on the board; kept having to search my notes to see what was I was doing wrong. The link is: prophecyfellowshipii.freeforums.net
However you got here, though, I'm happy to see you!

Did you ever ask your mother if you could go to a certain place or do a certain thing only to be told "go ask your father" but when you asked your father he said, "go ask your mother?" I wish I was smart enough to figure out, back then, that neither one of them cared and I could do what I wanted.

Sweetie & I had agreed early on that we didn't like that "Ask your mother/father" stuff. He might ask the kid who was asking, "What did your mother say about that?" and if there was really no answer, we'd all get together & talk it over. If the kiddo knew what mom meant by what she said, there was no need to go ask her again, was there? And no need to be asking dear ol' dad either. Sweetie would make that clear. Sweetie has always been really good about keeping people on the straight & narrow. We didn't let them do everything they wanted to do, but we let them do a lot. Congratulations on that $100 win on the lottery ticket Scott! I meant to pick up a couple of lottery tickets for us this evening and I forgot. Turned out kind of nice this afternoon. I grocery-shopped & picked up an unexpected sweet potato pie. Didn't think to buy whipped cream.Mm, boy, did I hear about that! Picked up Sweetie from the office and he said it sure would be nice if we had some whipped cream, We stopped at 2 stores on the way home, trying to find some edible whipping cream (i.e., most had high fructose corn syrup & I won't buy anything with HFCS in it). The one I settled for has carrageenan in it - and I work at not bringing that stuff into the house either, tho' don't always succeed. So we'll have pie with whipped cream in a little bit.

Good morning! It's raining, and supposed to rain all day, and it's pretty chilly out there. The weatherman is trying to scare us, I think - he's predicting a major cold front to arrive tomorrow and drop the overnight temperature into the 30s. We'll see if it really happens. I have a winter coat w/a hood and a neckscarf and gloves that I can reach easily if that's true. Meanwhile, today, it's a Saturday and good time to work inside, lol. All of the stores are beginning to put out their Christmas items. I'm surprised I'm not seeing more ... Halloween items were out by the 3rd week of August.

I'm a little surprised that with Halloween only about two weeks away, I have not yet encountered any of the "Halloween is evil" loonies that usually get active around here this time of year.

According to my niece, my 7 year old great niece and a bunch of her friends are getting matching costumes for Halloween this year. They are going trick or treating as a herd of unicorns.

According to my niece, my 7 year old great niece and a bunch of her friends are getting matching costumes for Halloween this year. They are going trick or treating as a herd of unicorns. That'll be so cute! I hope you can get a picture of them. Jeanette, you have a good memory - "Candy, candy, candy!" from Garfield! Do your grands trick-r-treat? I'll have to ask DS if he's taking the 2 little kids out trick-r-treating. We don't treat kids at our house - too scary for the dogs, for one thing. We'll close the doggy door and coop up in the den to watch tv and read and keep things quiet, probably. That's what we usually do on Halloween, and the 4th of July. Same here - haven't run into the "Halloween is evil" folks yet this year, not just around here, but on other boards and among people I know on facebook, and people I work with. I'm okay with the peace and quiet, but it's a surprise. I don't care for pasta, but fixed a really tasty spaghetti dish this evening. It was a thick tomato sauce over sauteed cremini mushrooms, chopped onions, and sliced zucchini. Once you fix the sauce you let it simmer 20 min. Cook the spaghetti. Then, saute the veggies. Pour the sauce over the veggies, and pour that mixture over the spaghetti in individual serving dishes. We really liked it, and it's not something we'd typically cook. I think Sweetie was surprised he liked it so much, lol.
Good night, y'all! Stay warm, if it's cold where you are. Supposed to be pretty chilly here tonight.
