**FCD **was hinting none-too-subtly for chocolate chip cookies yesterday, so I think I’ll go buy some chips and bake today. Because I’m nice, dammit!
Going to the travel agent after work to book flight for Paris. W00T! I’ll get out my beret.
Conundrum: My grade school BFF thinks we’re still BFFs. We started drifting apart in HS, and by 1980 no longer spoke. Then in the 90s, when our class was starting to play the 20th reunion, we reconnected. Except I had changed a lot, and she was still in full punk mode. We’re FB-friends, but that’s it. We’ve spoken once on the phone in the last 20 years. I keep hearing William Hurt saying (from The Big Chill) “Wrong! A long time ago we knew each other for a short time!” every time she claims we’re still close. I don’t want to piss her off (I don’t know what she’s capable of) but I also don’t want her hanging on to this delusion. Any suggestions?
eta - it’s not that I want to cut off contact with her, she is part of my past and helped make me who I am today, but I don’t want her thinking she can drop by next time she’s on LI
Flights to Paris, Peed? I can get the train from here 
It snowed. I posted a pic on farcebook and moooom mocked. That how nice she is, dammit!
Yeah ----- but you gotta admit it was a pretty amazing ladies room.
(I found it as a zombie ---- zombies can go anywhere)
I believe they all followed the lead of the coffee companies and their “not really 3 pounds” cans of coffee.
I *am *nice - I held back a hearty guffaw!
Chocolate chips have been procured. I’m lunching now and I’m going to watch one more episode of The Tudors. Then I’ll bake.
At least, that’s the plan for the moment.
And it’s Hellman’s!
Howdy Y’all! Been a bzzy mornin’ at irk, which is a good thing. I mean, if’n I got to be here might as well be doin’ stuff. Anywho, after a biiiiiiiiiig brekkie this mornin’ I only et half of my ham, turkey, 'n cheese sammich for N.O.L. So I have half a sammich should I want a snack later. Win-Win!
spaz I have long felt that the makers of tp were doin’ this. Then again, like MOOOOOOM said, lots of that is happenin’ these days. All the more reason to stay stocked up people!
MOOOOOOM a certain somebody, who shall remain nameless, has been not to subtly droppin’ hints for chawklit chip pee-kahn cookies. Not so subtle meanin’ he said, and I quote, “Do I need to go buy some chawklit chips and pee-kahns in case you don’t have any?” Slick! 
Maybe I will make some this weekend.
Mayo is mayo IMO. I but what’s on sale when I need mayo. You name brand loyalists may now declare me to be a heretic. 
Way cool.
I’m bugging out pretty soon here and off tomorrow so y’all have a good weekend. A couple of us are in a high speed driver’s ed this weekend at TWS. I’ll try and learn a lot and, especially, not make an impact. Adios.
really? nothing?
That’s kinda how I see it. Generic is just fine.
And on that note, I’m gonna go make some chocolate chip cookies!
rosie, other than FB do you have contact with former BFF? If no, then keep it that way. Don’t initiate any contact. Reply politely but distantly when she emails or FBs. I’m assuming she doesn’t call.
First 2 dozen cookies are cooling. Second 2 dozen are baking. Third not-quite-2 dozen are standing by. Dishes soaking, ingredients put away, counters wiped.
Less than an hour start to finish! * Go Speed Baker!!!*
In just a few minutes I have to go to one of my local places to meet with someone for a bit. I foresee twuck pointin’ toward da cave right after that.
rosie that’s always a tough situation. We all have people like that in our lives. Maybe if she does hint to come visit, offer to meet her somewhere for lunch or dinner so you can keep it neutral. Maybe that way you can keep her on the casual friend basis and also limit the amount of time you spend with her. You can always have somewhere you just have to be right after lunch or dinner. That will also be true. After all, we all know Smokey will be expectin’ you home post haste.
Last of the cookies are cooling. Yummage shall be enjoyed tonight.
Yes, you have to wash your cat!
Girls were always telling me that they couldn’t go out because the had to wash their hair.
:rolleyes:
No, but via FB-chat, she’s been begging for my phone number, and gave me hers, insisting I call. I told I had laryngitis, and we should just continue texting.
True. But I’m hoping I can avoid a F2F meeting altogether.
Are you sure they didn’t say ‘hare’? Bunnies make teh kyoot pets. And they demand a lot of attention. 
Took a much needed nap
after N.O.L. so now my stomach hurts from sleeping on a full tummy.
I couldn’t decide if I wanted to eat or sleep first, guess I should have slept.
I’m trying to get myself on a meal schedule. I have a bad habit of getting busy and not eating and by the time I realize how hungry I am I’m shaky and feeling sick. Then I’ll grab some crackers or pretzels which do no good at all.
Rosie Maybe in her eyes you are still close in that nostalgic when we get together we can pick up like we were never apart way. I have old friends who will make a friend request and for a day or two we message back and forth and then never again.
I like hearing from past friends but I barely have enough time for my now friends.

:dubious:
More snow.
