Oh and.....TGIF!


Is this MY Duchess we are talking about. If so, I have never been successful in teaching her how to do the dishes. [;)] Well what I mean is unload and load the dishwasher anyway. She can "clean" them, but not exactly what I want to use after she is done with them. [}:)]

She isn't good at housework either. Man oh man, how I wish she could "pick up" after herself and run the vac. [;)]

I'll take a Cappuccino, I need a pick me up, as I'm real tired. Dad and I went up to La Crosse WI yesterday, for a thing they called railfair. It was a mix of Model RRing and Railfaning. They had a fairly small bunch of tables with dealers selling Model Railroad stuff. I spent about 60 buck yesterday, including my new bueaty a really nice E8/9 model made by Proto 2000, a division of life like. Runs like a bueaty. Like I said it was part railfan show as well, so the BNSF and the CP both had a few locomotives on display in different parts of the city within a mile of the park where the show was held. CP had a like New AC4400, it only had about 4 days running time. BNSF brought out one of there old GP39-2's, in BN green paint. A little wheathered, but wasn't bad. It even had seats in it from my Dad's company, Seats inc. We also saw two former SOO line units switching out a hopper train in the CP yard. We saw two BNSF trains leaving the BN yard as well. Got to go post the specifics of the trains in the recently I saw thread, so I'll stop back in again later.

"Supper" (at work) will be fruit and a small salad. Can I get that to go here?

Joe, send some of that casserole this way.

Carl, burgers is fine and dandy for today. Of course we have to have the corn on the cob. Baked potatoes are great also. Use margarine instead of butter though, and
you won't have to worry as much about the C word.

Wow....I hit a nerve....And Tree68, I just read that same report in the paper too today. It's hard to believe WHAT is really good and bad for us anymore....I do know one thing, from a majority of Dr's....Keep the cholesterol under control and chances are one will be better off.

Modelcar- just one Pizza King pepperoni will kick that cholesterol out around Pluto! But they are worth it.
I had a friend tell me once that she was eating rice cakes, plain lettuce and green tea for almost every meal, and that she would live much longer than me, with my burgers and tacos and cheesecake and stuff. All I could say was "You call that living?"
CW- Sorry to hear about your loss, in my life I have found that loosing a close friend is about as bad as it gets. These were people that you chose to be part of your life, and when they leave, it takes a huge chunk of you with them.
Going to see a band tonight that is billed as the best Beatles act going. Hope so, otherwise I'll have to wait til those junk foods kill me to hear their music played live.
Take care, folks.

[}:)]Yeah, I know, modelcar. But I have been on a low cholesterol diet before and you
know what? I GAINED WEIGHT on the diet. Followed the blasted thing to the letter,
to a T, and STILL gained weight, and had high cholesterol.

Pitched the diet, ate what I wanted, and started losing weight, and cholesterol went
down. As long as you don't have sausage and sausage gravy every day, it's not
going to do too much harm. It's when you over indulge that it's BAD.

Good morning, and Welcome to the Depot Diner & Coffee Shop!!

The coffee is on, bacon & sausage is frying. Biscuits are in the oven. As soon as the
sausage is ready, will start the gravy. Also have cold cereal and oatmeal.

Fried chicken always available, along with meat loaf and spaghetti with meat sauce, and also have meatballs for those who prefer them over meat in the sauce.

What else you guys want to eat today?

Well, I'm back guys. Yesterday was a bad and sad day for me. I received word that a
dear friend had passed away in Virginia. So couldn't concentrate on anything but
memories. Enough sadness.

Hey, WHO left the french fries and fish fillets out?! NOW what are we going to eat
tonight?!!

Oh and.....TGIF!

Mookie,
is a scone anything like a Lurk[?][:D][}:)]
I have eaten scones, never Lurks....so can't compare. Think they are in the Lert family - you know - be a lert - the world needs more lerts....

Need another nap after that one!
