No, actually I haven’t been to your FB page for a while; I submitted it fair and square. I take it this is another case of me either restating an obvious option or projecting something already taken.
Besides, my first suggestion is still my favorite. 
Along the same lines as your first clever submission is my favorite, submitted by a fb friend, What the Fork?
However since I feel that might not go over too well with all audiences, the official winner is Silver Wear: Tines to Treasures.
This combines Silver Wear (a suggestion from one fb friend) and Tines to Treasures (a suggestion from Soapy).
Incidentally, Soapy is two for two in naming rights and has been promoted to my full-time marketing director! 
Finally got the news on the triplets. Copied from an email:
At 7:57AM, Caroline Elizabeth was born at 5 lbs 8 oz
At 7:58AM, Sabrina Jane was born at 4 lbs 8 oz
At 7:59AM, Max Andrew was born at 5 lbs 1 oz
That’s >15 lbs that the poor mama was carrying around! Well, not carrying since she’s been on bedrest, but still that’s a lot!
The recipe is here joolz. Just be aware that you need a deepdish pie crust if you buy a premade crust. I didn’t and it overflowed considerably. Fortunately, I had the pan lined with foil so it wasn’t a total disaster in my oven, but the pie pans themselves were a sticky mess.
Thanks, taxi! I feel for poor Max already: two (barely) older sisters to nag him. 
Please send my best wishes and congratulations. Hope she got some sleep while in the hospital, cause sleeping is out the window for a long time!
Cool! Thanks for sharing! How am I supposed to lose weight if y’all keep sharing these wonderful recipes?
I will try to sometime this month. Don’t write off sterling. If you make the right contacts, flatware is about 75% of melt. Where I work we pay 50% and get around 75% after smelting fees and such. A fork would cost you (even as high as silver is) say $17 and a spoon say $8. And sterling not only makes a really marketable product, its really easy to work. In other words, plate is cheaper but sterling can be done.
Now ------- back to that name thing ------- how about Forking Fantastic?
Yay, kai!! My kid is playing the waiting game - her date is April 25, or shortly thereafter. Luckily, her soon-to-be-ex isn’t being a jerk about it.
Happy Taters Day!!!
Sickies, feel better! (said in Mom voice)
I was so ready to quit today. It looks like the %^#)@#$ dress code is going to happen. Which means I’m going to have to spend a bunch of $$ on clothes and shoes. And I do hate shopping!!! It pisses me off because my job involves sitting in a cubicle virtually all day. I rarely interact with customers. When I have meetings or presentations, I dress the part. But, dammit, why must I be in business casual to sit where no one sees me? How does that make my work any more valid??
It’s past time to get my resume dusted off. Yeah, like someone’s going to hire me at 56… grrrrr
Breakfast for supper. I’ve got a Polish sausage cooking. I’ll add eggs or pancakes or french toast or something.
Daughter is going to pick out a pug tonight. Yeah, her rebound guy… :rolleyes:
Howdy Y’all! I’s tahrd! I did a bunch of yahd work in OYKW’s and my yahd. I trimmed hedges at his place in addition to mowin’, and edgin’ cause the shrubs needed it. Lot of work though. Plus it got hot and I think that got to me a little bit. So, I shall chill the rest of the day.
Did I killded the MMP? :eek:
I have three friends who should not be allowed to own cell phones. Actually they should not be allowed to own any communication device more complicated than two cans attached by string. These same people are runnin’ around Panama City Beach, FL attempting to call each other and somehow cannot manage to do so, so I get a call to call so and so and tell them that so and so is trying to call. I suggested the simple idea of ummmm… leave a freakin’ voicemail but that did not seem like a suitable alternative. FTR, no I am not going to call. While this may not be the dumbest thing I have ever heard, it’s at least in the top ten.
Yep, I understand. But I’m perfectly happy with business casual: I was with one call center who was going to business professional. There was no freaking way I was going to buy dresses and pantyhose. The last time I wore hose was for my wedding - 12 1/2 years ago. I did find a new job before the official switchover.
Us cube jockeys gotta stick together!
Jules, it’s maddening because for 16 years, the rule has been “Dress professionally for presentations, briefings, and meetings with customers, and the rest of the time, jeans are fine.” My wardrobe is primarily jeans and non-controversial t-shirts (you know - not the kind that say stuff or have drugs or booze on them) and walking shoes. One specific line in the new code says flat shoes are OK on casual Friday. They expect me to wear heels?? I don’t think so. I own one pair. They’re silver. I wore them for my daughter’s wedding. I do NOT wear heels. Period…

Unfortunately, I took a look at our budget and there’s no way I can afford to retire right now. We have 3 major bills that have to go away first. It’ll take at least 2 years to wipe them out. So I’m stuck. Any job I might be able to get won’t pay nearly as much as I’m making now. But that won’t stop me from looking to transfer elsewhere in the gov’t.

I am not allowed to wear jeans to work in the library. I must wear dress slacks. I compromise by wearing khakis, and the most casual gray/navy/black slacks I can find that aren’t jeans. I spend most of my day either dealing with residents or crawling through the stacks, looking for stuff or moving stuff. Hose? Skirts? You’re outta yer mind. I did wear a skirt last week and had a wardrobe malfunction which put the kabosh on that for awhile.
(if you must know, my hose–and I had to wear hose; it was fricking cold out and my legs would scare Casper–lost all elasticity as I walked down Michigan Avenue in the sunshine. I had a pair of knee highs in my desk drawer, but had to pull my skirt down to my hips so that the knee band wouldn’t show. I spent the entire day paranoid about my hose and worried about my skirt.
Scrubs look better all the time… 
Hello, good wishes etc. to all. No real time to post.
I imagine that sterling would be a bit easier to work with due to the aforementioned annealing problem. However, silverplate is available for as little as 25 cents per piece and that’s more in line with my current pricing. Once I get really good at this I might like to add a higher-end line of stuff. I’ve seen some beautiful bracelets with Swarovski crystals that I could add to my repertoire.
Right now I’m taking a much needed break from craft show application madness! I swear, I’ve been working on these things all day long. I’ve nearly completed most of them and all that’s left is the nitty gritty stupid things like my ‘Artist’s Statement’ detailing how I create my pieces and blah blah blah. While I’m taking a break I’m going to go down and try to make some spoon rings. I haven’t really had the right equipment up until now, but I think I’ve got it all together. This should be interesting.
Oh, and kopek, some guy sold me a bunch of silverplate and there were 6 sterling spoons in the mix. The irony is that they’re too pretty to cut up!
I always wonder what higher-ups are thinking when they start focusing on dress code. Certainly I can appreciate needing to dress up for presentations, meetings with customers, etc., but if you’re truly a background person…why bother.
Our last administration was very dress-code oriented. The current one hasn’t said word one about the dress code.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TATERS!!!
Love the proposed name,** Sticky**.
Twilight. Heh.
Went for a walk. Am tired. Am going to bed early.
Back when less sleepy.
Hugs.
GT
Again, thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.
Hubby and son took me out to dinner where I splurged and had gnocchi with alfredo sauce and a sliced chicken breast. It was very good, but I only managed to get through about a little less than a third. I had the rest boxed up and brought it home. Hey, I’m usually good, so I figured I could splurge a little on the calories on today of all days.
Hubby stopped and bought some kind of birthday cake today too. I don’t know what kind, but I imagine I’ll find out in a bit. I am waaaaaay too full for cake right now.
HB,** T***
*I’m really tired
Happy Birthday Taters!
I have a bed! It was completely covered for two days (I slept on the couch last night - of course that was because I stayed up until 3 reading and then didn’t want to move…) But anyway, I have a bed AND you can see the floor in my room. Right now I just have to do laundry, run to my storage unit, hang up all my hats and bandanas, and then deal with all the computer/desk stuff. I’m going to make my mom help with that.

I read this as, “hang up all my hats and bananas.” It made me LOL!
I can haz blurf?
I’ll take a helping, too.
