Iā€™m waiting for \*someone \*to tell me what he wants to do for dinner. Iā€™ve been crocheting and watching TV. We watched a 2003 version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, but I suspect they took liberties with the story. Iā€™ll need to read it. Other than that, boring day. I did 2 loads of laundry, so thereā€™s that. In aquarium news - neither of us have seen our arrow crab in several days - he could he hiding, or he could be fish food. Time will tellā€¦ ---

Yay, **Sticky**! Just got off the phone with my nephew and his friend. Theyā€™re on their way back from a car show (my brother is driving). 13-year-old boys are silly. šŸ˜ƒ Am watching a movie online and about to knit. Hugs all! GT ---

**FCM** - Yes, folks got it right, I donā€™t want to wade through a ton of video, and even with digital media I only have so much I can record on. **Congo** - I donā€™t have my old camera with me so I canā€™t remember for sure, but I think its an Panasonic AJ-D910WB. Our shop has steadily been losing cameras and decks to a lack of spare parts. I feel for your sweetie, however I speak as a user & abuser, not a fixer. **Swampy** - We? Well, okay, Iā€™m flexible. Got back from my friendā€™s house a couple hours ago. Heā€™s doing really well for colon cancer I suppose. Heā€™s going to get surgery in a couple weeks, have to wear the bag for 6 weeks then get it reversed. Then 12 more rounds of chemo. The good news is his wife says recurrence is 4% for his type of cancer, and they got it early. Looking forward to a quiet night. ---

Iā€™ll never do anything that would ever get me thrown in prison. Itā€™s not the loss of freedom or the gangs or missing society or anything like that. Itā€™s because they donā€™t serve stroganoff. Dude, I canā€™t even imagine. ---

So, do you have a favorite recipe, **lieu**? Itā€™s always been one of my favorites, too. Tired. Have to get up early-ish to take brother to the airport. Nitey, nite friendsā€¦ Hugs. GT ---

Good morning, peasants and other little people!! _\_ I think today is the day I finally swap out the speakers on my computer. Which means Iā€™ll have to tidy my desk - I guess I can manage that. Daughter is coming over with her doggeh to visit this afternoon. Iā€™m thinking Iā€™ll boil the chickie carcass and make soup. But mostly, no plans for the day. My sweetie finished off the stroganoff yesterday, but Iā€™m thinking Iā€™ll make some again soon. Too bad I donā€™t remember how I made this last batch. Oh well, itā€™ll become like my sketty sauce - never quite the same every time. \*\*Tugig \*\*- glad your friend has a good chance of getting past the cancer. Thatā€™s got to be one of the scariest medical words there isā€¦ I hear \*\*FCD \*\*in the shower. I was going to let him sleep in, but I guess he just canā€™t handle being without me. šŸ˜‰ I should hit the shower myself, but that would require movingā€¦ eventuallyā€¦ Happy Sunday!! Do we have a volunteer for tomorrow? ---

All this talk of knitting reminds me I have an unfinished kitty blanket that needs to lose the prefix. I guess Iā€™ll have to go to the grocery stoā€™ today. Iā€™ve been putting it off. Or I could just wait until tomorrow when the store opens before noon. I forgot where I lived for a second. And my keyboard died as I was typing the above. Frickinā€™ frackinā€™ wireless keyboard. At least the mouse has a little light that blinks when its batteries are going out. ---

All this talk about beef stroganoff is making me think itā€™s time to do a grocery run. I have always enjoyed the ā€˜Iā€™ll cook for myselfā€™ aspect of being on my own. One of the hardest things to do is remember portion control. I tend to cook large batches and work off them for days. I think I might make coffee. If anyone here knew me they would know that is a rare thing - I enjoy coffee but I donā€™t like making it often. I am thinking I need the motivation, 'cause I have to go visit the place I left and pick up some more of my stuff. A two hour drive to do something depressing doesnā€™t thrill me. Ah well, could have bigger problems. Good morning all! ---

Okay, well so much for coffee. Between the last post & this one I got up, went in the kitchen, pulled out the coffee maker, opened it up andā€¦ The future ex-Tugig (who was the coffee drinker between us) had decided to give me the coffee maker. I assume that it was 1) because she was trying to be nice and 2) because she didnā€™t want a large coffee maker for herself. So she had packed it up and put it in my pile of things to go and I took it. That was a few months ago. So fast forward to today, I pull it out and open it up to give it a quick scrub & make some coffee when I am greeted by a huge lump of hardened, multicolored mold. Yup, she hadnā€™t emptied it before she gave it to me. Three month old coffee grounds. Oh well, I donā€™t believe it to be intentional. So itā€™s taken me about an hour to strip, scrub and run it with vinegar and now clean water. I donā€™t think Iā€™ll have coffee today, but itā€™s ready for next time. I gotta start going through my stuff to see what other surprises awaitā€¦ ---

This is a survey - has anyone else been getting tons of spam from various [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com) addresses, specifically for, um, _performance enhancing_ drugs? In the last couple of weeks, I get 2 or 3 a day, always from different accounts, but always yahoo accounts. ick. \*\*Tugig \*\*- mega-ick!!! :eek: Itā€™s been a productive morning. Apart from the requisite showering and dressing, Iā€™ve taken care of the kitchen and helped my sweetie take the hood off the aquarium so he could repair a bank of lights. I also cleaned the cat box and changed out the recycling bag, since it was full. Itā€™s a pretty day, if cold. A loverly Sunday in southern Merrylande!
