Yeah, I know your pain about re-doing ceilings. Our first house had the 12" square ceiling tiles that were discolored from previous roof leaks and were warped from age. After I took down a few with a raining down of roach poop, I decided not to take any more down. I just left them in place and put up dry wall sheets up to seal everything up..
Hal, there's one in Cool Springs. I've never been- Hubband doesn't do Chinese food, but I do (if it's good... got burned out on really bad Chinese food)
X, this day always overwhelms me- and I'll never be able to watch Sesame Street again (I was turning it on for the babies and watched the 2nd plane plow into the 2nd tower). In fact, we've never watched day time tv again.
Too many people died... needlessly. I'm the same way about the Murrah Federal Building in OKC. So very very sad.

You wrote this and I have a picture of two snow seal pups right in front of me...
and now I have a mental image that is just too funny for words! Or barks!
my cough is still with me, but not to the extent yours is. It no longer hurts to cough, but it's still a productive cough... so I'm still drinking licorice tea (and am slightly hyper because of it). My chiro said the cough may stick around for up to 4 weeks... I'm not thrilled about that, but as long as it doesn't HURT anymore, I can live with it.
Hope you, uh, seal better

Okay, sad to tell you both this, but I think I had my "palgue" first and I am just now starting to go through the day without hacking my fool head off. i don't cough at night any longer but I still get a tickle at least twice a day,,, and I too could call in the horney ( gasp!! yes, I said it!!) seals and possibly a randy moose or two!!

hahahha TN I would hope that would make someone laugh....
I took Mucenix 2 nights in a row and it is starting to ease a bit, but my stomach muscles really hurt!
P.F. Changs???? we have a gift card for there but never been. So it is that good? Cab want to meet for dinner sometime? is Plymouth Meeting too far to drive from your area?

Never heard of P.F. Changs; checked out their website and see there is one in Franklin, TN. May have to make trip up there sometime soon.

Ooooh,, ugh,,, now I see what you are talking about.....ugh

Maybe we can meet you up there sometime. We need a good excuse to go up there to shop. Deb and I both like to go to Whole Foods. They have a really great selection of breads and cheeses.

....Anyway, the things that were coming out of the ceiling were MUCH MUCH BIGGER and NASTIER, but along the exact same lines as the roach poop. I do NOT want to know what MADE them. I was SO filthy... *insert shudder!* Hal, are you sure it was sanitary to just seal it up??? That was one of the biggest reasons why we decided to keep taking down the walls and ceilings - to make sure the smell and any mold are DEFINITELY GONE.

Hi Ola,
just got back on... only to find that not only have our ranks turned into horney seals, we now also have randy moose... this could get ugly! Thank gawd we don't have sound on this thread! But if it helps, when I blow my nose I either sound like a prepubescent goose or an Elephant with adenoids! and poor X, she found out that I sound like cat coughing up a fur ball when I brush my teeth... (mostly because I AM a coughing up fur *****... I swear I have to stop washing the cats! I really hate it when I get fur on my tongue)...
OK- that should be enough wackiness from this end of the internet I think post 6300 is our next big 'un... unless we just go for 6500!
Hey Hal- you and Deb have a date- I can make a day of it myself- Costco, Whole Paycheck and PF Changs... I think I need me some won ton soup (either that or some of that incredible lemon grass/coconut/chicken soup over at the Thai restaurant...)

She's TOTALLY not kidding. I had to call in to her to make sure she hadn't hacked up a lung or something....

UhOh...I can't imagine how you and the other Soldiers feel when performing this ceremony. In honoring your fallen comrades you pay tribute to the lives they lead and the life they lost protecting all of us!! God Bless them and their Families. *insert Saluting Smiley* But...How on earth do you keep from crying your eyes out in Unifrom during these??
#6293
We are going to the York Pa Fair and have tickets for Jeff Dunham a funny comedian we both enjoy watching. Hubby was really happy about the tickets.
As soon as we get back you and I can find a date to get together!!!

Um...sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to cry in uniform. This kind of thing is one of them - Even "manly men" do it at these ceremonies. I think they actually TRY to see how many guys they can make cry. Normally I just look like a leaky faucet....tears streaming. There's only one time I outright bawled my eyes out, but that was also justified.
Mornin' Freebs!! Cleaning out the Coffee Pot so no coffee made yet. Speaking of coffee what's the preferences of you all??
A nice Sumatra is my favorite, in fact I have to replace the Costco Brand I have, but not sure where to search out the PERFECT Sumatra??!!
Have a Great Day Freebies!!

RJ, you need to track down Random Gemini... she's our resident Sexy Barista- I don't remember if she shows up here, but she's on some of the other off topic threads- she'll lead you in the right direction.
Also there's a guy named TC, who is on some of the OT threads... he knows his stuff too...
But, I still bow to RG!
Personally, I like a nice medium to medium strong roast- something that has a lot of good flavor and body, but doesn't have that "dragon breath" after taste. I don't like French Roasts, but do like Italian Roasts...

Did someone call for the Sexy Barista?!
Thomas Hammer's Sumatra Mandheling is what you need. You will have to mail order it. I recommend ordering whole bean as ground coffee does not last as long as the bean. Ground coffee actually only maintains full flavor for 24 hours after it's been ground. Whole bean is always best.
Costco's drip coffee isn't bad... but it's DRIP. It's like saying it's better than Folgers... which isn't saying much.
Mail order it through http://www.hammercoffee.com
It's 10 bucks for a 12 oz bag of beans.... yes, it's spendy... but oooh so worth it. Another favorite of mine is their Columbian Monserrate. They bought a micro lot of it this spring and it is... just a gorgeous coffee. Wonderful coffee flavor with a hint of fruitiness and a smooth finish. I believe they are going to try to carry it full time, which would just make my entire day.
For espresso and latte making, I use Thomas Hammer's Signature blend. It's a good all around coffee for making espresso and appeals to every coffee drinker I have met so far.
