I have that problem too. But only on surfaces where Duchess cannot reach. Anything left at her level will be chewed until limp. But above her level is fair game to anything.

However last night I cleaned up one bookshelf and started on another so the problem is slowing going away. I have a stack of mags and catalogs to get rid of tho. The collection truck ran yesterday so I will have to wait another week to get rid of them.

It was cloudy all day yesterday but no rain until late last night. It is raining off and on today. It will also be raining tomorrow. The temps a cooling down a bit also, with no sun peeking through to warm things up.

The temps are really going to go down after Sunday night. It looks like we will be in the 30s for lows. [V] It could be a little colder tho, so we will just wait and see how it turns out.

AND today is Monday. [B)] [8] Anyone want to go to work for me?

Hey, how about a nice gooseberry cobbler sometime in the near future? (Just make sure it has enough sugar in it [:o)] [;)] [:p] )

[cherokee woman]

When I ask Mutt to get something out of my purse, it's when I'm busy, and
I say, "Unzip the front side zipper and get the pen." What's he do? Brings
me my purse, and says, "Here you go: get it yourself. I'm not getting in your
purse."

Mookie, and everyone else:

THE SPLIT-PEA SOUP IS READY!

For dessert, we have oatmeal-raisin cookies.

1. Buy a very large storage container.

2. Find a good desk size flat surface near to the entrance to the house.

3. Set the container next to the flat surface.

4. At regular intervals, sweep all items on the flat surface into the container.

5. When full, put the container into the least convenient storage location in the house.

6. When the house is full of containers, buy a new house.

Hope this helps.

My dictionary defines asparagus as being a noxious weed, a carcinogen. Rhubarb also falls into the same classification.

Hummm,none of our dictionaries have that explanation !!
Will have to go with yours,sounds much better.

"Flat Surface Disease" must be running "rampant" around here.
I'm not sure that we have one that's not covered up !!

[Modelcar]

....No "flat surface disease around here"......Wife was born inoculated from it....If "it" remains still for over 30 sec. on a certain location, it is destined to end up in the trash....! Anything I want to remain here in my possession I must take certain actions...such as bring it into the home office here and hope it fits in, etc. so it won't be noticed until I devise a better plan....Example: Magazines...can't remember other things....guess they've been all thrown away.....

I'm extremely glad that you didn't say Phil, or "roadkill";I don't think
that I want to go there !!!!!![:D]

"Living rooms" are exactly that !! Seems that's where most of us live !
Our "Coffee Table" doesn't have enough room to put a cup of coffee on it !!

"Purses" are a total 'nother story,CW will tell me to get something out of her purse,and at that point in time,I become TOTALLY deaf !![:D]

Mudchicken is at the boarder! Heard he was going to plant some more asparagus (gag) between Colo and NE, so I stomped all 4 feet and caused an earthquake in Nebraska - 2.9! How's that for effective protesting? Top that Mrs. Sheehan!

I carry a purse for one reason: "Do you have some tylenol? Will you get a kleenex out of there and clean my glasses? I can't see to drive! I need your fingernail clippers. Will you put my sun glasses in there? I need a piece of paper and pen. My billfold is too hard to get at under all these clothes - will you pay the bill? Do you have a safety pin in there? Your keys are handier than mine! Here's the receipt. "

And the disease is rampant at our house. I hide everything, so nothing sits out. "He" has the disease! Must be a "comfort" thing to be surrounded by as much as possible!

You know, despite the fact that the winter doldrums haven't really been this year for a large number of us, maybe it's time for a "summer" event on Friday. CW - get the fixin's ready - hamburgers and hot dogs on the grille, with all your favorite toppings, as well as your favorite salads (potato with bacon for me). Don't know if we can scare up any watermelon (not to mention having to clean up all the seeds from the spitting distance contest), so we'll have to settle for some pie. A la mode!

[blhanel]

I have a wife with several different purses purchased to match different colored clothes. Often she has to hurriedly transfer her "stuff" from one purse to another, and in the process leave behind an item or two that she realizes later in the day that she needs... [banghead]

[JoeKoh]

cw thanks for the breakfast.
Ed I know what you are saying about purses.my wife says its in my purse.I'm like I'm not looking in there.you'll never find me again.

Can't help you - have it myself. My dad complained about it 40 years ago, so it's a pretty tough affliction to get rid of...

I'll just take care of that item later....[:p]

Madam La Mook - Our local convenience store started making it. Yum! And now, with the appearance of pre-cooked bacon in the packaged meat cooler at my favorite supermarket, I don't even have to cook the bacon - just cook up the potatoes and chop and add all the other stuff and it's done!

[edblysard]

Anyone know the cure for "Flat Surface Disease"?
You know that illness that causes people to walk in the door, and start dumping everything in their hands on the first flat surface they come to?

My wife and kids all have a major infection, I get it cured once a week, but they seem to keep getting re-infected.

I tried to cure it by placing potted house plants on all the flat surfaces, but they all died from lack of sunlight…the stuff piled up around them choked them to death!

And what’s up with the forty pound purses?

Ed

[cherokee woman]

Larry, grilling out sounds good to me.

Mookie, I'll start on the split-pea and ham soup as soon as possible, so
that it's ready for lunch today.

Breakfast is on the light side today (we me preparing the split-pea soup):
breakfast BLTs, and sausage & scrambled eggs.

No matter what Phil the groundhog predicts this morning, we'll still have "winter"
until the first official day of spring.

We're supposed to have rain reaching us by mid morning. Need to make an
early trip to the grocery, just to pick up the two or three things I forgot yesterday.
But will leave Mutt watching the soup.

[Mookie]

I just arrived and read Tree's missive. I am scrooching my chair really close to him. He sounds like my kind of "eater". Potato salad with bacon - yum. That's one I haven't tried!
And watermelon - to die for. Cats don't have lips, so can't spit seeds, but can play a mean game of tiddly-winks!

Sarah - If we get snow, I am personally boxing it up to send to you! Postage due, too! You can have our share. We will trade that for some good California rain.

CW - I am making a request for split-pea and ham soup. Think we can do that? Yum!
And no - not shades of Rosemary's Baby! What a waste of good split-pea soup!

Ok, people, out of one dozen muffins only 4 left. Gee them little suckers sure are good. [:p] [;)] I have a package of apple cinamon and another one of blueberry. [:p]

It is cloudy today. [:(] Duchess is outside while it is not raining. It looks like it could rain any minute. The temp is somewhere in the upper 50s.

Our January was about 15 degrees warmer on average than it should have been. But, that certainly saved on the heating bill. [^] I just hope the summer is not 15 degrees hotter than normal.

I am having left over cheese dip for lunch. You know how it is, with sausage and hamburger and Velvetta in it, it is way to expensive to waste. [B)] So today will finish it off. It was good, but after 3 days I am getting tired of it.

Well the noon news is on so I am off to view it. [:)]

Take Care.

JIM put the "Muffins" away !!!!!! Get away from them,and there will be no
more actions taken against you !! You had to mentionn "apple-cinnamon",
and "Blueberry", My favorites !!!!!

Not sure if this falls under the "Good-News",or "Bad-News" category,but "crews" have arrived on the scene,to start removing the barge that is
"lodged" against the K. & I. bridge. They are now saying;that it might take up to 5 weeks to complete.

[blhanel]

Hi all, glad the chops were a hit- sorry I couldn't hang around to clean up afterwards, as it's bell choir and vocal choir practice at the church on Wednesdays here. Busy, busy, busy!

Time for some shut-eye...[zzz]

[Modelcar]

....Yes, good to clean up antifreeze as animals like the taste of it and it's deadly. Water pump is an expensive little item....Paid my Chevrolet dealer about 250 to have one installed about a year ago before I traded that truck...Labor is a bunch of it....But I'm done doing any labor part of it....Hope you have good luck doing yours...{Sarah}....
Potatoes....Give me the good old yellow ones...{Jersey Sweets}, and you can have the red ones....ha....

Brian - Plenty of room at the grille! You're always welcome.

Brian, the pork chops were excellent!! Good job. Looks like we've found another
griller to help Larry and Mutt out around here.

Jim, if I remember the weather from our 6 p.m. local newscast, think we might
possibly how some snow (showers or flurries) Sunday. That's if I'm remem-
bering the forecast correctly.

Nice answer Mook;seems like we've become very adapt at "hiding" things !!
Only problem with that,is we're "running" out of "space" to put things in.

And Housecleaning ????!!!!!!!!! YUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!
Only when it has to be done,and totally necessary !!!!!

We have two cats and a "dog" for things like cleaning dishes !!!!
(No actual "Dishwasher )

Brian,(Ia.)
Sounds very similar to the ones that CW makes under the recipe she
got from the Crock Pot recipe book for pork chop" abracadbra."
Looking forward to trying yours!! It sounds great !!!

The weather man says that a MAJOR weather pattern change is building up in Canada. It may start affecting the US (northern states) as early as Friday afternoon. Currently the prediction is for lows in the single didgits up north. Here they are saying, we could go below normal for our temps. Sounds like winter may be showing up, late, but still showing up. [:(]

After the much warmer weather we have been having this chill down will definately be hard to take. [V] I hope it doesn't turn out as bad as they are currently predicting. I sure hope mother nature has not fooled our flowers and animals, as it will be as hard on them as it is on us. We will definately know by Sunday if their prediction is true or not, time will tell. [;)]

Well the cheese dip is all gone now. [:p] As I said, it was good, but after 3 days it just isn't the same as the first day.

Now, anyone want to volunteer to help me do housework [?] It seems I can never get caught up. AND to make matters worse, a friend from the Chicago area might be coming down soon to visit. [:0] (No, it is not Carl, but he does work for a railroad [;)] ) Trust me, that is definately motivation. [;)]

I can't say that the maid's pay is good, but the company is fantastic. [:o)] [;)] [:D] Now sent those resumes to me ASAP

OH GOODIE, so since the US is going to be experiencing some weather changes due to Canada, then does this mean that the great state of Pennsylvania is going to get some SNOW FINALLY???? If so it's time for me to get the snowboard out.

What is this I'm hearing about sweet potatos?? Are we having them tonight or something? I do have to say if you want REAL and I mean REAL potatos go with RED potatos or the regular kind, not the sweet stuff.

Well, lets see whats going on here with me today...um nothing. Except I found a huge puddle of Anti-Frezze underneath my truck today, found out that my water pump is leaking terribly, and I will end up replacining it ASAP. It's only cosing me 70 bucks, because I'm going to be doing the labor on it. I also had to clean up the Anti-Frezze, and currently have a bucket sitting underneath my truck. More good news...............huh.
