Thanks. I don't have any other ideas, so I'll just let it go at that.

Night all. Tomorrow.

Mornin', folks.

Morning. Hopefully temporarily. Can't sleep.

Phew; What a relief!!!

Hello everybody! So far today I have, jogged/walked 3.6 miles, had my hair cut, bought bags full of stuff at Wally World and cleaned the bath tub including the shower doors. I hate shower doors. And washed two loads of clothes.

Poof, would the Red Bull be in the well? Aren't the cheap drinks from the well? The only bar stuff I do is eat the flounder special on Friday so I am not the most conversant in bar talk.

I'd heard and used the term before but I got curious as to the actual reason 'well drinks' were called 'well drinks'.

So I'm sharing!

Picked up the men's dry cleaning.
(when did we start paying for son's dry cleaning????)
Walked a mile around one of the neighborhood ponds.

Guess I'll eat lunch.


No dog poop yet. I have to wrap the cast every time we go out. Then it rips off right away.

I thought Rusty was confined to rest, again?

Good job all you walk/runners. Go run for me or something.

Had to turn in my contract to my new boss, arranged to meet her at kinkos. Parked next to her car, but couldn't find her. She'd run down to buy coffee for our 30 second meeting, brought me a latte. I think I'm going to like our meetings.

Went to McD's for breakfast because there's frequently a couple of neighbors there, but not this morning.

Then went to a huge new store that just opened http://www.local12.com/news/local/story/Jungle-Jims-Eastgate-Opens-Doors/VD0g5fgSXEGP29lcAoAWHw.cspx. They don't have much in the way of everyday American groceries, but if you want something you can't find anywhere else, this is the place. I've been searching for dipping sauce for potstickers like TGIFriday's has and it's hard to find. This place has at least four kinds. Will try them one at a time. The doors to their restrooms are port-o-let doors. Pretty funny.

I did get a couple of Choice sirloin steaks for 4.99 a pound on sale. They had Prime strip steaks for 19.99, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay that.

Then had a pedicure and now home, almost time to start dinner. This is one I need the food processor for.

mmm potstickers.... I actually prefer dumplings, but hey I'll take what I can get while I live on this side of the Ocean.

What's the difference?

pooflady wrote:What's the difference?

dumplings are boiled in water. Potstickers are boiled and then fried to the bottom of the pan making the dough firmer. The story goes that potstickers were invented when the emperor's chef didn't put enough water in the pot and it evaporated while cooking the dumplings. There is a wide held belief that Americans prefer potstickers to regular dumplings so most chinese restaurants only serve this variation - although they will occasionally serve dumplings to Asian guests.

the GMan summary:
Potstickers are fried, Dumplings are boiled.

Afternoon.

And they're both delicious.

Just putting out the short version for those who don't want to bother with the long. When you were having your eyes fixed, you preferred the short version - so I named it in honor of you!

Wow, post vacation motivation? That reminds me, I need to email the school PE teacher to see if she wants to restart the running club for the kids. I hate running, but Ver1 loves it and she misses the club.

I'm just impressed. You're right though, he's going to be one jumpy puppy when he's finally allowed to get out of the house!

Evening folks

Although a tad earlier than usual, I'm gonna call it a night - based on an unusually busy and stressful, yet productive Monday.

G'night, folks.

Hi/Bye j3!

Well I'm off, taking Ver3 for his first ever hair appointment before his school picture day tomorrow... I'm tired of the grandparents asking when it'll get cut.

Productive often makes up for busy and stressful.
