I’m having a yummy lunch of Ensure. Sigh. If you keep it really cold, and serve it over ice, it’s almost palatable. The other flavors aren’t, no matter what you do to them, unless you pour them directly down the drain. Well, if it keeps me from tossing my cookies in the parking garage again tonight, that’s worth something, I guess.
I’ve got BIIIIIIG PUPPY DOG eyes looking at you right now. I love chocolate chip/oatmeal cookies. Mr. Taters loves 'em too.
Haze, it’s a shame I can’t do the walking or I’d join you guys for lunch on Saturday. I’m only an hour away by train (which equals 90 minutes minimum by car)
You are not sick. You are drinking alcohol. I am alone…
I think I may have died and just not been informed of it-is there a memo?
Off to stare into space. Time passes when I do that.
I can’t believe I’m the first to do this:
How’re you doin’?
VBob and Achren we called them crawdads too, and I’m from above the Mason-Dixie line.
ems is back!!! Yea!!!
Awwwww. 
I’d love to meet you! I’ve never met any real, live Dopers before.
Sean, I’d use the blushing smilie, but unfortunately it seems to have other connotations around here. :dubious:
Yes it is Bernie - she was more interested in the bowl of cereal than having her picture taken.
Back off, I saw her first. I was hitting on her last week… 
I’m late to post again.
Happy belated birthday to ShibbOlette; hope she had a great day! And FCM, loved that pic of your “kids” - how cute!!
My Dad is scheduled for surgery to re-attach the retina in his left eye tomorrow morning. There is a 50-50 chance they can save the sight in that eye. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Holidays are right around the corner, and I’m not -quite- ready yet, but they’re still coming. lol Oh well, at least I’ve mostly got my food menu figured out. 
Good thoughts to all and for those who have the cold weather, please stay warm!
Hell, I hit on everyone last week…
Herbs prayers and good thoughts headed dad’s way from south Jawja.
Awww… if’n I thought it’d work I’d shove a batch through the cd drive just for y’all.
Everyone??? :dubious:
Two batches of cookies done. Third in the oven. ACBG bringing pizza. Life good. Verbs suddenly gone missing.
How you doin’? Oh, wait. You’re getting over The Sick[sup]tm[/sup].
So where was The Sick from, swampy? Apparently, I’m not that old.
3:00 a.m. sounds familiar. As in, the hour I woke up this morning. For two hours. No fun.
Welcome and happy birthday, Achren! And welcome back, ems and zelie.
I’m trying up to come up with gift ideas for the under-5 set and failing miserably other than some kind of candy.
Really tired again. I better not be coming down with The Sick!
Gotta find dinner and then do laundry and cards.
Back when I take a break.
GT
A quick drive-by to let y’all know I’m not dead…
:: waves hello ::
Interesting - my baby is picking up pizza as I write this! We baked chocolate chip and butterscotch chip cookies yesterday, and I’ve got a batch or snickerdoodles waiting in the fridge right now - we’ll bake them tomorrow. After the kid’s fillings are done and before we take the dog to the groomer…
We went to DC today and wandered thru the National Gallery for a while, the ran thru part of the Natural History Museum before heading home. It was a fun mother-daughter day.
Welcome, Achren! Send me some of that birthday cake and I’ll be your friend forever - really!
And welcome back to the returning MMPers!
Only mostly dead?
The peanut butter cookie truffles? They’re killer. By the end of the holidays I’m going to weigh 700lbs.
Everyone get better! No one else get sick!
Well, fine then. Nobody remembers who coined “the sick”. Rue would be so disappointed! His very own child Soupo coined that phrase to describe one of his ailments. I cannot believe nobody remembers this. Sniff It’s a sad day for the MMP is all I gotta say! All you old timers shame on everyone of ya! Santa should only bring you lumps of coal, ashes and switches. So There!
Pizza has been eaten and ACBG has his cookies to take home. Since I still have residual the sick, no canoodling was done. My house smells like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. MMMMMM…
Bobbio that should be " how you doin’." If yer gonna flirt do it proper. Geez! 
tarragon, best wishes for your father.
Hm, maybe I got The Sick from the MMP! :eek: Actually, I’m mostly better now, except I still cough at night. One of my cousins, who I’ve talked to ONCE, for like 2 seconds, during the entire 2 days I’ve been here, claims to have caught it from me. :dubious:
Rebo, where you been? Come back!
God, I am SO FULL. My aunt seems to have made it her mission to fatten me up during my time here. It’s only been two days, but I feel like I’ve gained ten pounds already. At this rate I’ll be rolling like a snowball all the way back to Chicago.
I’m up , and making dinner. Hockey is on the radio, life is good.
Vbob, you didn’t hit on me. :sobs:
SCL, I hate having to miss a chance to mett you too.
Tara, I’ll pray for your dad.
:waves: Hi Rebo!
