OOPS! Make that Jeanne Pruett.
SAAAAAAAAAAATIN SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETS TO LIIIIIIIIE OOOOOOOON!!!
Morning. I’m finally here. Just a little late to the party.
Great weekend with KeithT. No cleaning, a little grocery shopping, and well, you can assume the rest. 
Had dinner at a Polish buffet with family friends (my family) Friday night. Boy, if you’re used to eating healthy, a big dinner of mostly sausage does a number on your stomach! (Insert pukey smiley here.) The food was great, just much too heavy when you’re not used to it.
Saturday we went to a jeweler and had custom wedding bands designed. I’ve got an antique family heirloom engagement ring so the wedding bands will match that. I think that’ll be really really cool.
Met KeithT’s grandparents and had a great time. Lots of fun. My family’s not really “fun” so his is a nice change. Ate more meat (steak this time) and felt queasy again. Le sigh.
Sunday met a couple of KeithT’s friends. First friends I’ve met - after 8 months I was getting worried that he didn’t want them to meet me! - and we also had a great time.
No satin sheets here. I’m a big fan of flannel. 
I can attest to the lopsided ratio that **spatial **referred to. But from my point of view, it’s a really good thing. I spent my first two weeks on campus just walking around grinning. But then I realized that the old saying is true: the odds are good but the goods are odd.
RPI is where my friend figured out he was gay. So then his dating odds greatly increased. Maybe you should think about it.
The water heater is in. I’m never going to put any plumbers out of a job, but then again I won’t have to spend more than $400 and four hours of my time to replace those suckers either. It all evens out in the end.
Puggy your weight loss doesn’t sound too bad. It seems that this is the type that goes away and stays away, at that rate. Hang in there - you’l get to where youu want.
I finally got the last paperwork I need to do my taxes. So if I have time tonight or tomorrow, I might fire up the computer and get started. Otherwise, this weekend.
Tupug, when I’m not sitting here in my cubicle, I work for Weight Watchers. I hate to say this, because I know it’s what you don’t want to hear, but your rate of weight loss sounds just about right. I know, you want it to be GONE RIGHT NOW. But my advice to you is just keep doing what you’re doing and have patience. It will work if you keep at it and don’t give up.
Satin is so hard to clean well. Unless you want to take your sheets to a dry cleaner, after a while they get nto so soft and smooth
Better of with pure cotton very high thread count. Just as soft and gets softer with each washing
If you’re going to make the goop, try this variation: Semi Sweet chips and mint choco chips with crushed pecans and shreaded coconut
I got a million of 'em
Curse you, anyrose ! Now I crave bark…
Satin sheets are only good cool–satin when I’m hot–eww. I also like a high thread count for sheets, but can’t afford 'em!
Grrrr…app is giving me headaches today. Trying to send out the stuff for my transcripts (which cannot be done online–how odd is that?) and I keep getting an error message on the page which I’m supposed to access to get the correct mailing address. Being online, of COURSE the website doesn’t bother to put their mailing addy anywhere.
Grrr.
#1 son back from dentist–he has some “softening” right at the base of his four bottom front teef. He cannot lose his front teef! Gack! Dentist recommended a turbo toothbrush, flouride rinse and prescription toothpaste (whole new worlds have opened up to me today!). Went to my local Walgreen’s–store is closing (to rebuild) so all stuff is $1 (almost all stuff)…so I got me some cool, battery operated toothbrushes for a buck! (got me one, too)
Pug --how about redistributing your 1500 calories? More at breakfast and lunch and not much at dinner? Works for me. Also, increase your activity some more–park further away, take the stairs etc–it all adds up, I tells ya.
Oh! I forgot to say before… we did engagement photos over the weekend. Here’s us! Aren’t we just soooooo cute??
It would have been fine if you’d gotten the Carrot Cake. Sigh.
The Med Yogurt is something the wife found at Trader Joe’s (some kind of semi-hoity toity place I think).
It’s really good with some fresh fruit, or honey, or carrot cake. Well, not with carrot cake, but with lots of other stuff. Table water crackers, for eample, adn a bit of cucumber. MMMMM.
Why no chili? It’s good AND good for you!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW… just cuter than a bug’s ear! Cuter than a basket of puppies! Cuter than a flower girl walking down the aisle flinging rose petals everywhere!
Quick! Where’s my insulin?
Your sweetie looks a little like Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall/News Radio)
I’m working on a rental agreement for New Roomie and myself, and as usual, we can’t be serious about anything. sigh
Oh yes, we’re coming up with more.
Better get the time allotment in the bathroom sorted out, quickly.
And what about borrowing of clothes and accessories (this does not include stray menfolk, btw).
Food–communal or labelled?
Music(this is why I want to live alone)
Cat puke
The list goes on…
Welby -you want carrot cake? You go to the store for that, kay?
I love Trader Joe’s–but it’s kinda far from here.
Chili is just nasty. I loathe the texture of beans in my mouth–they feel like vomit (and taste that way, too-to me). I don’t like the smell, the silly arguments about chili, the taste, the clean up–nothing about chili is good.
I hope I’ve been clear.
My boss suggested that, as landlady, I get first crack at anybody Mandi brings home. Of course, we don’t like the same type of men, and she also likes women, so I don’t think this is necessary.
This is pretty much why we made sure there’s a room that’s not the living room that we can also hang out in. Luckily, we like mostly the same music. The only problem I forsee is that the only cable hookup is in the living room, and Roomie Tivos half the shows there are. I watch most of them with her, and I do have a TV/DVD/VCR in my room, so there’s not likely to be an enormous problem that can’t be overcome, but I’m going to have to get the cable company to put in another hookup upstairs, I think.
As with the litter box, whoever sees it cleans it up. This will actually work to my advantage, as she both wakes up and gets home from work before I do and will therefore usually be the one to find cat puke in public areas.
High thread count sheets expensive? It is to laugh. Overstock.com. Wait and they’ll mark 'em down to $99. I wonder if you even need that high of a count to get softness. My 600 tc, which I got for $99 at Steinmart, are as soft as a baby blanket.
Taxi, you all are CUTE!! Congratulations again. You all met as Dopers, right?
Tell me: RPI? I never caught what school this is.
Well, I for one, love carrot cake. Moist, yummy carrot cake. No nuts in mine please. I don’t like nuts IN my cake or my chocolate. I’m just picky that way.
Chili is good. I like GOOD chili. I like meat AND beans. Yes, I know, REAL chili doesn’t have beans in it (supposedly).
This yogurt you’re all talking about sounds very intriguing. I have a couple of Trader Joes within 20 miles of me, but, I’m too lazy to drive that far. If you all saw the traffic out where I live, you’d understand why. I may have to go sometime though.
taxi, very cuuuuu-yute!
The work day is just interminable. I have crap to do, and I’m doing it, but I don’t WANNA do it.
Drae, are there going to be um, er, noise limits when guests are over? I agree that bathroom rights are very important and should be agreed upon BEFORE hand. What about who cleans, what and when?
<snerk> Can I borrow this? He looks so good with my new shoes! <snerk>
That’s why I sent YOU. Or why you sent yourself.
And if you hate chili, then you’ve never had the real thing. I’ll have you over sometime for my Extra Special 3 3/4 Chili.
You think this doesn’t happen? Silly naive lil Swampy. 
Taters -except for the chili, we’d get along great. I would eat all the choc with nuts and you could all the choc without!
Go ahead–do your worst-I will not eat chili.
I am no Sam I am.
I would RATHER eat green eggs and ham!
Well, you know what they say–if you want something done…
Just had one of those single serving brownie thingies that you microwave–tis good! (and deadly to my waistline). Love the way the box suggests topping it with ice cream… :rolleyes:
Hmmm. Need to add to my list of things to remember: Rigby, Elanor - UNRELIABLE when it comes to carrot cake.
