Kat said: > [@](#): > > Hmmm…I didn’t know you could fold nickels and pennies. _pulls out a nickel and stares at it for a bit_ How do you do it? It’s real simple. you take your bowl of whipped cream and drop the nickels and pennies on top, then take a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and gently draw the utensil across the bottom of the bowl and up and over, enclosing the coins in the whipped cream. Do not overmix. What? This isn’t a cooking question? _slinks away embarrassed_ * * * Live a Lush Life Da Chef ---

Byzantine’s in town. She’ll be here until the 30th. Anyone wanna try for another get together? I’m not sure what my plans are yet (I’ll know by Sunday), but starting Sunday I’m off work until Saturday the 27th, then off again the 29th and 30th (Monday and Tuesday). * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Ayesha: Not a problem. If nothing else, I can put on my taxi hat and ferry y’all. 😉 And Cessandra (she with the soft “C”), you’d BETTER come this time. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

How about the fri. or sat. after thankgivimg? I think the dates are the 26th or 27th. Ayesha and I dont have any plans for those days. Besides if we get an early start we can show all these other upstarts how to throw a real party! I am looking forward to meeting Byzantine. Peace t lion ---

I definitly can’t come the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am going home for Thanksgiving break, and my mother wants me to spend the _entire_ time with my family. I’m not to go to Rocky or to any of my friends’ houses, or even to Carl’s house. C’mon, guys, I really really want to go! * * * Cessandra Why sex is better than religion: You can scream “Oh, God” during sex, but just try saying “Oh, f\*\*\*” in church! ---

I can work with all of y’all’s schedules. I think the biggest problem we’ve got is Cess’ schedule. Remember, we _may_ hear from **Guy Propski** this week. ---

This will probably be about as useful as a third testicle, but I want to repeat that I’m off the nest several days. I’m not gonna be available Turkey Day, but I am free Monday through Wednesday. Just a thought. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Don’t necessarily want to dismiss the third testicle out of hand - might have to think on that a while - Let’s just hear from everyone. Remember, there’s lots of time left and if need be we can recongregate in December or January or 2002. Oh yeah, **Satan** _may_ be passing through and **Mike King** ’s going to be here in January. ---

Ayesha: I did. I called ya this orning, and got ahold of your son (I’m assuming it was your son. Heh.). I asked if Ayesha is there. Now he thinks I’m an idiot. 🙂 * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Sealemon, I’m up now, try again. Don’t worry about son, he just left here looking like a smuf with green high lights in his hair. He offered to put blue high lights in mine for me. Think I’ll have to pass on that one. Or maybe not, I still get a wild hair every now and again. Oh who told NTGrrl. that we held the Houston meeting w/o any pants on ?

Okay, I promise: No ass grabbing or twirling! Gee! One time, just one time I make a joke and NO ONE will trust me. You folks are harsh! 🙂 ## Looks like our plans today are to pick up the food for T-day. Yahoo! That’s what I came to Texas for. That and to get man-handled by a four-year-old. Ah, what a life! Best!
