Nice! (love you too ) Although I DID feel that way, it has gotten better now that we are not "grazing" on high calorie foods three or four times a day.

How were you able to manage grazing on high calorie foods ONLY three or four times a day? Are you sure you aren't underestimating those numbers?

 

[ohiominnie]

But I still have not found anyone who will deliver a Mickey Bar!

Try Dove bars. VERY similar, but not Mickey shaped.

Sorry if this is enabling!

 

[ohiominnie]

Just sitting the pot.

TMI!!!!


Stir the pot all you want and feel free to tell us about it. But please don't tell us when you sit the pot!

Emailing you some Metamucil.....

Angie,
How'd the IVP go today?
Been thinking about you guys! Sure enjoyed our time on the Antigua tour with Jane Parliment.

Got it done. Do not have results yet. We had fun on that tour also. Thanks for holding the seats for us.

 

[MrsMork]

Can I bring you one in August? When I get back from the Mexican Riviera cruise?

Sure1 Might get a bit soft on the way though.

I'm glad you said that and not me!!

Just one slip of the fingers, and the all hell breaks loose!!

Actually thought Jim came up with another way to lose weight -----> The Exlax Diet

That would be breakfast, lunch and dinner. No hobbit eating here!!

Okay, the fingers were not as quick as the mind, but that is a pretty funny typo.

Help!

Karen, Kevin/Diana.......what kind of washer do you have? We talked about them a long time ago. Maytag Neptune? Or what?

Guess who's washing machine is broken! Still had 3-4 more loads to finish, too. The timing of this stinks, but I need to learn to be careful what I wish for.

Mr. Murphy is running amock your house eh? It does here too.

We got the Kenmore Elite HE3. Works great, hopefully will last a long time as well.

 

[tinksdad]

Gee, what's up with that??? Now we have a "server to busy" notice..



Well so much for that tip..

Had to get the TOP while it was here, don'tcha know!!

 

[justmestace]

Kevin, I'm thinking that's the same one Karen got. I have friends who have the Maytag Neptune and swear by it. Will have to compare the two online. Won't be going out for a while, creek is flooded again.

Somehow, the old saying "When it rains, it pours" isn't very funny.............

Ours is the Kenmore Elite HE3t.

Of course, you have to get the matching dryer!

Jay was just saying that our dryer is still good.....I told him that the washer and dryer have to go together...due to the timing thing. Where the dryer is so fast, you don't have to wait. Well, it's TRUE!

 

[MarkRG]

The Neptune more resembles a traditional washer/dryer setup but is a front loader.

The two that are more or less the same machine are the

Whirlpool Duet HT and the Kenmore Elite HE3t


My opinion is simply that any of these are superior to traditional top loaders.

 

[seaulater]

Mary thanks for the trip reports they are great. Just finished printing out and am taking home for Robert and Jamie to read. I wish I was on the MAGIC again. Oh well, not too long before PC cruise.

Framed my Ducky litho this weekend. Looks real nice. Now got to decide where to hang it up!

Why, the Neptune washer isn't any fun. No window. After we got the Kenmore one I'd sit on a small chair and watch the action with a flashlight. Told my parents about it and they said they did the same thing, but on overturned pickle buckets. Apparently their dog was fascinated by it and would watch too.

I quit doing that....in case anyone wonders!

I wasn't gauging the entertainment value! LOL!
