Evening

made emergency visit to the eye doctor today. Felt like I had glass or rocks in my eye. HURT.

I have a viral infection. Have to put drops in eye 9 times a day and go back tomorrow.

Ouch! I hope it heals fast!


dname- I agree about the couponing. I barely have room to store a Costco run, forget that stuff! Do they buy an extra huge house to dedicate rooms to storing the stuff they probably wouldn't have bought anyway?

Will it be OK?

Yeah, I think so. I'll be honest though, her concern made me nervous. It will be fine but it was more serious than I was thinking I guess. I thought I had pink eye or something.

Got my new flatware today. Nice.

There used to be an Oneida outlet store about two hours away and they frequently had my pattern in open stock, so I picked up extras occasionally. Unfortnately, they've closed all their outlet stores. Buying any of it by the piece, whether Oneida's website or o eBay, is really expensive.

How many did you end up getting? 12 servings?

Yep. I knew I had some extra knives, so I counted today. 14. So I now have 26 knives. That should do it.

What confuses me, though, is that what I've always thought of as soup spoons, they call dinner spoons. Do you use those when you set the table?

hmm... I just call them the big spoon.

kdccrosby wrote:hmm... I just call them the big spoon.

big spoon, little spoon, and the long handled spoon (never can have too many of those, useful buggers!)

that's the other problem with couponing dname, all processed crap that my kids are allergic too and makes ya fat. Although dental floss I don't think would be too miserable. Of course I was strangled on the school yard with dental floss in elementary school and it's only been in the last decade that I dealt with that issue. I'm ok with it now though.

Jeez, just read back and I'd missed all the stuff about your eye. So sorry. Did the doc say how soon it should clear up?

dontwantaname wrote:I think all those shows are so you sit there and think, well I'm not that bad off.

Oh well then I must be doing great! I never watch any of those shows!

If I had a basement, it'd be the hang out space where they kids could comfortably have friends... or that's the goal.

dontwantaname wrote:OK guys, see you tomorrow!


all right, I lie....see you later today!

sheesh, I just got the oldest two in bed... of course the oldest had to stay up late because she couldn't find her 4H folder and I need to take it to the fairgrounds.

She acted like I was going to have to take the drops for 30 days. The abrasion on my cornea could either be a healing line, or from a virus. Since my eye was only slightly agitated, and some other reason that I can't remember, I was diagnosed with the virus.

should get better soon. resting it today helped a lot. course that led to a nap and now I can't sleep

Ugh! I hate eye drops.

Night all. Tomorrow.

Good morning all.

Good morning everybody! Cool a wootoff! I made this for breakfast. If you smart people could make it clickable, I would appreciate it! I have no idea why it is called a dutch baby.

According to Sunset magazine, Dutch babies were introduced in the first half of the 1900s at Manca’s Cafe, a family-run restaurant in Seattle owned by Victor Manca. While these pancakes are derived from a German pancake dish, it is said that the name Dutch baby was coined by one of Victor Manca’s daughters. It is thought by some that the “Dutch” moniker refers to the group of German-American immigrants known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, where “Dutch” is a corruption of the German ”deutsch.”

I always called them apple german pancakes. They are tasty--one of the first things we made in home-ec class.

Morning!

I had read the stuff about the restaurant and the dutch baby but I had forgotten it. Thanks!

I scratched a cornea about 15 yrs ago, had to have those drops. Took them exactly as prescribed, and even now, that eye bothers me sometimes from feeling too dry. Apparently the sligth scarring causes it.

Morning everyone.

Hi everyone.

That dish of revenge was served really really cold, eh?

Okay, now I'm mad. We had three estimates for a new furnace/heat pump. All three said we needed to go from a 2 1/2 ton to a 3 ton because of the new room addition. We decided to go with the highest price, just because they have a really good reputation and are high on Angie's list. I called, the guy's out of town, but a different guy (with the same last name as the company) came today to sign the papers. This guy measured every door, window and room in the house. Same price, BUT said we had to have larger ductwork installed for additional price. Plus wants our contractor to tear out the ceiling in the basement and frame in the new ductwork. I'm trying to balance the reputation against the feeling of being conned. I refused to sign anything.

Just dropping in to be nosey (ow, eye scratches!) and drop off a little story:

The lady who does my mother's nails has an Asian-redneck accent. Who'd have thunk it? I'm so tickled pink at this.

Have an amazing eventing.
