I said the same thing when I rolled over this morning, lol.” 8:31:50 AM 11/11/06 Hugs. “Good morning. My, what a great smile you have. What a difference a stick can make. I went to a Mall Restaurant yesterday with my daughter and grand-daughter. Disabled parking was full, so I had to walk a little further than normal. Decided to use my new hiking stick. It really helped. The extra stability let me move right along at a good clip, including the crossing of a curb-street obstacle. Even my daughter commented that I was walking much better. A cane might be a good investment. But they are for old people and I don't feel qualified, yet. Enjoy your day.” 6:07:40 AM 11/12/06 “Who needs a cane? Keep using the hiking stick. ;-D and good morning. The coffee is with Pinion, 3lbs of beans from my parents. mmmm...good. The weather is blustery. Snow level is dropping and another storm is headed our way.” 8:18:29 AM 11/12/06 “Good morning, it's a rainy day here and my day hike with Capn Bobo at Hickory Run State park got rained out. We'll try again on a day with better weather. Looks like a good day to fire up the sewing machine and make some hiking gear.” 8:26:26 AM 11/12/06 “Morning all. I got back from driving all over hell's half acre for the past week; I'm almost done getting ready for yet another open house this afternoon. Yesterday was shorts weather here, about 78. Today it's about 57 with a good northerly wind. Yikes.” 8:54:23 AM 11/12/06 “Great weekend so far.....I am on call this weekend..so Friday night I get in the bed around midnight (okay snuck away to my son school's away football game) or one ish. Up at 5 AM for a fire...BIG house that was in the middle of nowhere. The ultimate redneck fire, get out of there go teach classes until 4PM...and last night I had to get up twice but nothign major...got to snooze in until 9, and now I am reorganizing the pack for next weekend.” 11:39:31 AM 11/12/06 Hugs. “Good morning. It's nice and quiet this time of the morning and 52°F. with clear skies in Melbourne, Florida. Hope you enjoy a wonderful week.” 2:34:35 AM 11/13/06 “Morning! Gonna be a busy week. Lots of appointments, getting ready to leave next Saturday to go to Kansas, lots of stuff going on in the evenings like city council meetings and parent teacher conferences. I wouldn't mind doing our weekend all over again. Have a good day everyone! Nowslimmer, My Great Uncle Russell uses a hiking staff and he gets all the young chicks.” 6:23:13 AM 11/13/06 “Baw Humbug..... I'm up and at work.” 6:24:49 AM 11/13/06 “The hubby had carpultunnel (sp) surgery on Wed and I've been playing nurse for a couple of days! All seems well but will be a long recovery (for both of us!!! LOL)....... crazygurl 10:02:48 AM Good luck crazygurl! Get yourselve one of those cute little nurse outfits and wear for your hubby. He'll be better in no time or at least want to be. ;-)” 6:48:15 AM 11/13/06 “ "Nowslimmer, My Great Uncle Russell uses a hiking staff and he gets all the young chicks."Ha! I'm happy if I can make it to and from the car. However, I did go the local pool hall for a spell last night and flirted with some of the young chicks there. Guess your great uncle missed some. They did like my new hiking stick. Still holding at 52°F., but it should start warming. The sun just popped out over some distant clouds. Time to hit the Resource Cafe. Free coffee and I believe some blueberry muffins will be there this morning.” 6:56:18 AM 11/13/06 “Morning all. Had the stomach flu last week, what fun that was. Wife and I are on vacation all week and headed to the campground for a week of tentin and exploring. Should be cool at nights (40's) and in the sixties during day...nice. You all have a good week. Nowslimmer, take it easy with that 'hiking stick' you got there, them chicks might not know how to handle it........ :)” 7:09:44 AM 11/13/06 “What Chappy says, plus you don't want to get a "staff" infection.” 7:43:12 AM 11/13/06 “Happy Monday the 13th!!!” 7:51:22 AM 11/13/06 “I'm just glad it's monday and the weekend and all of last week is over. Now I can rest easy, and steam clean the rest of the carpets today. Funny how that can actually be relaxing and somewhat enjoyable.” 7:53:10 AM 11/13/06 “Morning... Back at work with post-election wrap-up (hey, we're a weekly that went to press last Tuesday, in case you're thinking this is way late) Spent Thursday night/Friday at a seminar in St. Cloud on covering courts and crime. Came home to see we all got a ton of snow. AAACK!!! LOL! Attended a 25th anniversary party, which was fun. (Geez, had the ex and I stayed married -- instead of lasting 6.5 years -- it would have been 25 years this year!) And a little geocaching in the steenkin' snow yesterday. Welcome to the work week and have a good one.” 7:54:27 AM 11/13/06 “Nother fun night...and back in the office. Gonna be a beautiful day.” 7:56:36 AM 11/13/06 “mornin'! I love long weekends! Saturday we made soap, bath gel, lip balm, and sachets with kids from the twiglets classes. Saturday night 4 extra kids slept over (total 6) and had SO much fun they can't wait to do it again...haha me! Sunday night I zonked out around 9pm...” 8:52:32 AM 11/13/06 “twig that sounds like so much fun..who did you make all that stuff????? Especially the bath gel???” 9:49:37 AM 11/13/06 “It was agreat time...we planned another day to do christmas ornaments. I've done it before, so I have the stuff and the recipes. I think if you google homemade bath gel you'll get a recipe - takes gelatin, hot water and soap as far as I remember... Or, I'm bringing the recipe in tomorrow for one of the moms, and I can post it. There were several things we didn't get to, like bath salts, bath oil, bath fizzies...and I made bath beads that came out very strange, LOL...” 9:55:48 AM 11/13/06 “Do explain.....” 11:06:44 AM 11/13/06 “Twigeater does amazing craftwork. I saw pictures of some of her work and it's great! last edited: 11/13/06 11:19:35 AM” 11:18:08 AM 11/13/06 “you talkin' to me, Lizs?? the recipe I had for the bath beads was wrong (I hadn't tried it before) and after I mixed it up I noticed that the amount of liquid was equal to the amount of dry ingredients (was supposed to be dough like) and it kept growing until we had to get a bigger bowl, but I wouldn't give up... the next day my neighbors dog thought he wanted to eat one, but spit it out, so now I'm afraid to use them in the bath... I had another recipe that said to microwave shavings from a bar of Ivory soap for 30 seconds. Go ahead and try that! Course, I was using dollar store Ivory soap, so I'm going to try it again tonight with other Ivory soap just in case there is a difference. Trying to find a cheaper way around the $10/2lb blocks of soap I've been using, plus maybe add some interesting designs to the soap.” 12:45:55 PM 11/13/06 “thanks Rich. :)” 12:50:34 PM 11/13/06 “Looks like closing on Nimblefoot Estates will be Friday at 8:30. Can't wait. The only problem in my whole life right now is that my post-op back is in such great shape that I'm having a real problem holding still.” 1:13:57 PM 11/13/06 “Last week-end certainly did not go as planned for me. It was great meeting everyone, I get double hugs from spalpeen as he always delivers one from sunshine...nice!... Thursday night I felt fine. I began coughing on Friday and by Saturday I didn't much care if I was alive or dead...flu...a bit better on Sunday but still not able to hold down anything but water; I stayed an extra night at Prosecutor's...it was great to meet new TTers but I am really getting tired of constant health issues... Next time I'm in Trego is would be nice to meet you, Nimblefoot...isn't it you who lives there? last edited: 11/14/06 7:23:43 AM” 7:19:44 AM 11/14/06 “Yup, it's me and visiting with you would be my pleasure. I went out to NF estates last night and met with the out of state seller. He's a retired Army dude, about 10 years younger than I. We walked the property together and the boundaries stretch out further in all directions than I previously believed. As a result of our meeting he threw in a 1990 3/4 ton pickup, one of the cast iron/claw foot bath tubs, air compressor and a lot of fancy gear for the old tractor (that I don't understand). Looks like I'm going to have to buy some bib overalls. Hope your feeling better.” 7:45:31 AM 11/14/06 “Morning all! I spent yesterday learning new ways to make folks feel better. Also got to stand before city council and be questioned regarding what exactly I do. Sometimes I have the most awful urges to lie through my teeth and say things just to get a rise out of folks. This was one of those times. I toed the line though and will be licensed soon. Nimblefoot, what is that building? Did you find out? Mataharihiker, You take it easy. Stay put and just work on getting well and healed.” 7:57:14 AM 11/14/06 “Sass, I understand your dilemma at the city council meeting. Unfortunately, I've never cared enough to even attempt resisting the urge. Also, it (the building) was originally a chicken coop, but it was rehabbed a few times and bears no current resemblance.” 8:47:21 AM 11/14/06 “crazygurl... Bath Jelly Recipe - by Amy Vollmer 1/2 cup melted transparent Melt & Pour base 2 cups water 1 envelope Knox unflavored Gelatin 1/2 oz Germaben II (I didn’t use this) Fragrance oil 3 or 4 colorants 3 or 4 small containers Pour envelope of Gelatin into a bowl and set aside. Microwave 2 cups of water until boiling. Gently pour into the bowl of gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. In the meantime melt the M&P in the microwave. Add fragrance oil to the melted M&P. Slowly pour the soap into the Gelatin and stir gently. When mixed thoroughly, pour into individual containers and color. Place uncovered containers in the refrigerator until firm. Empty Playdoh containers work perfectly and Bath Jelly can be colored to match the lids! Kids have a blast with this jelly. They can scoop it out and toss into running water, paint the tub and themselves, glob onto a scrunchie or washcloth and even bathe with it! The possibilities are endless!” 8:48:19 AM 11/14/06 “Thanks twig..I'm definetly gonna give that a try!!” 8:52:16 AM 11/14/06 “Congrats on your new place, Nimblefoot!! So how come you had to tell city council what you do, Sass? That sounds random. Is that how you get a license, they have to say it's okay for you to do business in your town?” 9:22:55 AM 11/14/06 “Morning, all. I'm back to substitute teaching this week. Let the fun begin. G and I had a pretty long talk on Sunday about what I really wanted to do next - stay home to have/be with kids, or find a full-time job. I'm pretty sure which way I want to go, but its hard to let go of the other stuff. Interesting dilemma. Why can't things just fall into place perfectly? Nothing else new. Oh, we finally got internet at home, so as long as G didn't mess up the security stuff too much, I should be able to post from home now! Yea Hope everyone is having a great day!” 10:13:40 AM 11/14/06 “Good Morning Yall...is a glummy Wednesday in the Mountains of WNC. It is overcast but not real chilly...kinda nice actually. As much as I hate to see fall go I love seeing the leaves dancing about. The sugar maples are making a last stand to fall and are brilliant in places. I brought in a leaf to put on my desk today..if I have to be stuck in this corner atleast I can have some sort of reminder of the outdoors! Hugs to all” 7:45:19 AM 11/15/06 “Thursday is here and my perking coffee beckons and my heart, mind and soul are with it as I try to think of something smarmy for being the first to post today. Nothing perks within my withered brain, so I'll only mention that I close on the house tomorrow. Nimblefoot Estates is born. Yeah, that's it, how about a little naming help. Nimblefoot Estates doesn't quite get it. Any ideas out there?” 5:08:44 AM 11/16/06 “Morning, Nimblefoot and all...I'm not great at naming stuff, Nf but at least Nimblefoot Estates is original...” 5:41:34 AM 11/16/06 “Serenity Acres? That kinda sounds like a rest ome doesn't it? Len---- Landing? Have fun signing your name three dozen times. Good morning all. The great laundry and packing marathon begins today, along with house cleaning and two clients. I do believe this is the first time in at least two years that all three of us have traveled together. I think we need another suitcase! Enjoy your day.” 6:39:44 AM 11/16/06 “Good luck preparing, Sass!” 7:57:47 AM 11/16/06 “nimblefoot's feetland” 8:38:37 AM 11/16/06 “Congrats Nimblefoot!” 8:48:13 AM 11/16/06 “morning” 8:49:43 AM 11/16/06 “Nimblecountry? That sounds good. HPM just mentioned turduckens. I'm going to see if they have any at the grocery store. It's a boned chicken inside a boned duck inside a boned turkey. They're darned good.” 8:56:49 AM 11/16/06 My Favorite: Weasel Farm 9:10:55 AM 11/16/06 “Congrats NF...I like nimblefoot estate, there probably isn't another in the world! :-)” 9:31:02 AM 11/16/06 “What the hell is going on? There's something in the sky I haven't seen all week. It's big and blue.” 7:05:52 AM 11/17/06 “I vote for Nimblecountry. Good morning everyone!! Happy Friday! I'm off to bath my dogs before taking them to a friend's house for the week. The friend is a real life dog trainer. I'm wondering if my dogs will corrupt her dogs or if she'll get my dogs straightened out. Knowing Susan they'll come home acting like a perfect canines. One can hope eh?” 7:06:26 AM 11/17/06 “Morning all, if anyone sees the sun today send it My way. No viewing the leonoids this weekend with this cloud cover.” 7:27:00 AM 11/17/06 “Nope sorry, if I see the sun, I'm keeping it. 8D” 7:33:31 AM 11/17/06 “No sun around here. We had 3.5 inches of rain last night in a few hours and many areas got flooded.” 9:28:37 AM 11/17/06 Jump to Page << prev
