I'll snag a burger and a brat!  After all...a day without meat is like a day without sunshine!  It's in the 50's up here...and the snow is melting!  YAY!  I just hope it stays away now.

you set an alarm and I will not roll out of the hammock - more like shriek and run.  Think I will bed down on the porch and avoid getting trampled....

You are welcome to serve breakfast tomorrow morning, emmar. I might opt to sleep in tomorrow. BTW, what exactly is biscotti? I've heard that term before, but I am not sure what it is.

Looks like I get to do the teaching now.

Biscotti are an Italian cookie that usually have nuts and anise  in them.  They are hard and usually not real sweet. I think the Brits dip them in coffee or I guess tea but i am not entirely sure. They are really good and fairly easy to make. I don't think they are normally served with the type of dinner we are having tonight, but who says we have to stick with tradition.

Here is a link to a picture. http://kitschenette.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/biscotti.jpg

 

And on second thought. Maybe I'll skip the alarm clock tomorrow. I think it might tramitise Mook too much.

There are a couple places in Sioux Falls that I can buy Starbucks coffee from, and I've never tried that brand. There was once a place in downtown Sioux Falls called "Kitchen Cordial" where you could buy whole cofee beans in many, many different flavors. Unfortunately they went out of business within the last year. Sad [:(]

Nightrain, your pies are now tightly locked up. No one will touch them until after dinner tonight. Thanks for your contribution towards dessert tonight.

Hey Ray, when you look back at your previous posts, do you end up with scroll bars on them?  There must be something odd in your site settings, as every post of yours I look at I have to scroll across/down to read it all.  No one else's posts do that... Confused [%-)]

Yes, Brian. This has been happening with the last several posts that I have been leaving with the Diner, and I am clueless as to why it is happening. I don't like it myself and I don't know how to go about correcting the situation. It's a real puzzle to me! Confused [%-)]

Another problem that I am having is that every time someone posts something in this forum, I receive a copy of their post in an e-mail. I end up getting my inbox filled with unnecessary e-mails that I end up having to delete, and I've gone back to my private settings section to try to correct it, but it doesn't work for me. I should try telling Bergie about it.

Good Afternoon!

It is really nice here in Omaha today with a temperature of 70 degrees. There is a chance that if everything works out perfectly, we could make a run at 80 degrees tomorrow, but I think that lower to mid 70s are much more likely.

That's all the news I have today. Have a good afternoon/evening everyone!

Afternoon all....

Had a little fun after I got done working on the truck today.  With the snowmelt and frost still being in the ground, decided to do some 4-wheeling out by our silage bags at the farm, reasoning that if my dad could make it with a 4wd dump truck, I should have no problem........

The truck now needs a bath, after nearly getting stuck and sliding around in the slop that was the farm road and the field around the bags.  Was fun, though.Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D] 

I'll take a burger or two and some fries, on my own tonight for dinner as mom and dad are busy for the rest of the night with work and fair doings, dad is getting his computer worked on.

See everyone later.

Ray. On your update profile page, the very last option might be checked to indicate email when replying to your posts. Uncheck it. Then click on  Save Changes.

You probably already did that.

Bob,

I've gone back to update my profile several times, and here is a rough description of what that last option looks like for me:

Receive e-mails O yes

Receive Rich (HTML) e-mails O no

Enable Email notifications of replies to your posts O no

The last two options are marked NO. Every time I check of NO on that first option and then click "Save Changes", nothing happens. What should I do, tell the web site's administrator about it?

For the rest of you guys out there, here is another problem: Everytime I try posting anything with any forum or anytime I try reading any thread in the forums, I get the following message that pops up near the top of my screen, "? This website wants to install the following add-on 'Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated. If you trust the website and want to install it, click here. X" This started happening to me within the last week and I don't want this, and I don't know how to get rid of it so that it doesn't keep popping up on me. I have also noticed that my computer is very slow in loading or bringing up anything from the web site of Trains Magazine. My operating system is Windows XP. I don't have the same problems when exploring other web sites.

Ray. You  fixed the problem of over width lines that Carl and I were noticing. Good job there.

O.K. Bob, if I fixed it, I can only say that I don't know how I managed to do it. I did figure out how to keep that anoying message from Adobe Systems Inc from popping up. I've got pop-up Blocker from Earthlink, and it was just a matter of learning how to use it.

Well, I don't come round here often, but it sure is great to have so many people sitting around with the same two things on their mind:  Trains and Food.  Now, are there any seats left with a view of the tracks?  I hate getting stuck in the back corner.  Dinner [dinner]

Another feline in the diner.  Nothing wrong with that!

I'm sure just about anyone will share their window seat with you - the back corner is used mostly by people who need a little time to themselves.  Some times that's by choice, and sometimes they get sent there.....

Ray,

Receive emails should be yes - that merely means that someone can click the email button at the bottom of your post and send you an email.  You can also have Receive Rich emails set to yes.  That means that people can send you emails that are formatted.

Only the last field has any bearing on whether you would receive emails for each post in a thread that you have posted to.  Setting that to no should (theoretically) prevent you from getting emails every time someone posts here.

The system used to allow you to select email notification for each thread at the time that you posted to the thread.  Of course, the problem with that is that you needed to post to the thread to be able to get emails when others posted to it.  The current system is even worse, in that you cannot control which threads you get emails for - you either get them for all threads that you have posted to, or none at all. 

If you are still having problems with getting emails for each post to the diner thread, contact Bergie.  He can have someone flip a bit in the database for you.
