That’s it, I’m going trick or treatin’ to** Swampy**'s RIGHT NOW!!
What do you mean it’s not Halloween? IT’s All Saints Day, same thing right? But with ice cream and cookies? 
I know! “Who you doin’?” is more like it.
Good gad!
I vote we buy Rosie one ofthese and an air card.
Well, it is a feast day… 
ETA: lieu HEE!
ETA: flytrap I might even run around the house with scissors in my hand!
I saw the ‘MrFusion’ and for some reason my brain insisted it was a coffee cup.
A coffee cup I desperately want!!
Tonight’s feast shall be whole salmon, risotto with mushrooms and even some veggies in there somewhere.
If it wasn’t for the bones, I’d go get another one of those salmon <from Walmart, frozen; 6 bucks! worth it> and plunk it down in front of all the animals who’ve been staring at me the whole time I’ve been playing with it.
and just why are we buying me a time machine?
Daughter just left after her weekly visit for dinner. We had shrimp, a pasta side, and sugar snap peas - quite yummy! I’m about to shop for a yogurt maker because I loves me some yogurt.
Then I’ll knit.
MWAH!!!
Howdy. Hugs for all that need em. I got a raise at irk. Yay. I love my irk but am burned out as I have not had a real vacation in forever. My fault I guess but shit falls apart when I’m not there. Commute is really getting old. Now with the time change I’ll never see daylight while off except on the weekends when I tend to hibernate and catch up on sleep. Maybe I’m a little depressed?
I’ve been reading a lot about the mess that is NY/NJ and that is probably not helping my mood. I really want to be there to do…something. I live in hurricane territory and have been through it. I really feel for the ones who have no one to help. MMP always make me feel better though. Thanks guys. Hubby just came in to cook stone crabs. Could be much worse. Butters
Can I haz your CDs?
Dumplings from the self named Oriental Grocery and rice for dinner here.
Another Halloween over, I had fun with all the trick or treaters, and we had a bunch of them, I thought I had bought too much candy, but I gave it all away. The munchkins liked all the decorations, one little princess wanted the plush boa (snake) my daughter was rocking around her neck!
Today has been spent trying to make various doctor appointments with varied success. I do have a firm appointment with an internist on the 13th, yay!
I chunked up a chuck roast which is simmering away. I will add veggies and make dumplings for the stew soon. It’s a grey day, perfect for stew. I am going to throw an apple crumble into the oven momentarily. My son will be pleased.
Rosie’s sig to all; I have read but not retained.
Zero trick-or-treaters, much leftover candy, any of you should feel free to come help me with it. 
Next thing you know you’ll be using up all your extra toilet paper tp-ing someone’s yard!
Buckle down?
BUCKLE DOWN?!?!
FUCKING BUCKLE DOWN?!?!
Give me five minutes alone with that . . . rrrrr . . .

Olives, dearest and most respected survivor of shit most of us can barely comprehend, sometimes even the best professionals completely blow it. Telling someone dealing with chronic depression, PTSD, and an unbelievable delivery of seismic crap to “buckle down” has got to be one of the most thoughtless, shallow, callous, and lacking in compassion and empathy moves I’ve heard of in a very long time.
The phrase “Epic Fail” is now sadly overused. We need something similar in scope but fresh. When I find one, I’ll get back to you.
ON MY WAY!!! :p:p
Well, the risotto came out good, but I expected that. I was MADE to make risotto, I am so anal in the kitchen, always fussing with stuff, so risotto is a perfect match.
But the salmon…bleargh. Quite dry! I cooked it whole with olive oil and lemon and salt and garlic, all wrapped up in tin foil, but I must have cooked it too long. I know I checked at about a half hour, when I expected it to be about done, and it was so NOT done that I left it for another half hour. Which apparantly was too long. 
Oh well, it’s still fish, and chopped up and mixed into the risotto it’s quite good 
:eek::eek::eek:
BURN THE HERETIC!!!:mad:
I irked. i came home, I chatted with Hockey Lady:).
{{{{{Olives}}}}}. it’s OK to vent, we all do.
{{{{{Tao}}}}
I’ll just nuke you from orbit, only way to be sure. 
Rosie, it’s for energy/electricity generation and subsequent garbage dispoal not time travel, at least not yet. 
I am feeling all over the map emotionally lately. Like I will go through periods of euphoria followed by episodes of irritability then crash into feeling depressed and tired. I don’t like this at all. I am wondering if I need to talk to my doctor about getting on meds since I had severe PPD after and slightly before having the twins and if these mood swings may be a sign of impending problems again this time. Hurm?
It always seems to come down to hormones, Apes. And you’re pregnant. A visit to check if the PPD is causing any additional problems isn’t a bad idea, and you’ve had a couple kids before, right? So you’ve been through the pregnancy ups and downs before. But every kid’s different, 'cause…well, 'cause they ARE, but also because YOU are, since each pregnancy changes your hormones a little bit, too.
So <hugs>, and I hope it’s just baby hormones
Yea me too Tao
I actually had to be hospitalized for 5 days in a mental health inpatient facilty 2 months after the twins were born and I NEVER want to go through that again, ever. It was awful, I felt like a character in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Hey, you have one big advantage here, in that you HAVE gone through it before and know what to do to get help. I think my favorite episode/scene from “Scrubs” is when one mother is in denial that she has PPD, and another, very with-it, all-in-control mother basically slaps her upside the head about it. If you’ve never seen it, you might appreciate this. I love the way it’s presented.
