[QUOTE=SpazCat] Alton Brown is the Food Network’s Bill Nye the Science Guy. This makes him beyond wonderful. I want his fridge. [/QUOTE] with or without the “fridge-cam” and the “lady of the refridgerator” 😃 😉 ---

Lunches and breakfasts for tomorrow packed… except for **FCD** ’s tea - I had to brew up a new batch. Laundry is all done. Bed is warming up. Weekend is winding down. _\_ Such is life in Mechanicsville. ---

It would be lovely needle pointed on a sampler or embroidered on a throw pillow wouldn’t it **rigs**? 😃 I put the links **Mooooom** gave us to Unca Rue stories in my favorites and have been readin’ 'em. Dang those are funny and classics! Everybody has read or plans to read 'em I hope. I should empty the dishwasher. It’s all done and all. I really should go empty it. Or not. ---

My lolling has been postponed due to Daughter taking a shower and #2 son taking a bath. I should have hot water in about an hour. :rolleyes: I wanted to LOLL, dammit. And the Hershey Kisses are all gone, thank god. Won’t be buying them again–too many calories… I could do some homework, but where’s the fun in that? ---

You want to know how noble I was today? At the grocery store they had Lindt truffles on sale, and I didn’t buy _any_. Even though I wanted to get every package they had, dammit! I should be working, or at least pretending to try to work, but I just feel so yucky again that I’m seriously contemplating crawling in bed and giving up for the evening. Would someone please send me a house elf or three to do my work for me so I can relax and get completely well and not feel all this pressure to work when I simply don’t have the stamina? ---

Wow, two pages to catch up on! Sounds like everyone had a great weekend. We went to Lowe’s for my birthday today, and I picked up twelve solar lights that were on clearance, and some tinted poly to test on the floor. Do you think a reddish oak would be terrible? People keep scrunching up their noses when I tell them what I want. Well, I’m off to bathe the kids, I’ll be back soon! Oh, and thanks everyone for welcoming me into the MMP this week, and I can’t stand Rachel Ray either. Whoa! On preview I see that **pie** remembered my birthday! Yay! I’m so happy! ---

Wow, that was good timing and it sounds like you had a good birthday, **TagFree**! rosie, $300 is a relative steal for a slicer. For a brand new comparable model it would be well over $1000. I’d also like to agree that Alton Brown rules! ---

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, **One without tags**!!! I’ve dutifully talked to Mom and little brother (I was tired and didn’t really feel like talking to anyone) and am winding down also. So, is this better, **beebs**? I haven’t actually seen Alton Brown or any of the FoodNetwork gang (except online) since whenever I got rid of the TV part of my cable subscription - maybe 2004? I’ma read for a bit, then it’s off to sleepy-bye. See everyone in the next MMP… GT ---

I need an MMP volunteer, would anyone like to offer their location (just city, no street address or anything), for public viewing on a Google map? I don’t want to just take people’s location off their profile without permission. ---

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I’m taking up these last few moments of silence to enjoy it. Then on to another day! I feel ashamed, I only discovered Alton Brown about six months ago. I love his show, it’s quirky enough, and a lot of the back stories and pointers are great! ---
