Random Thoughts IV

Three very distinct, large purple spots. I'm pretty furious right now.

You might be able to fix it.

I don't care how clichéd it is, high thread count, Egyptian cotton. It's like sleeping on a ******* cloud.

I like the high thread count also...but I don't really worry about the several spots they have on them now. They're five or six years old, and still feel just as wonderful as when we first bought them. I don't have your problem though...I don't have to think about impressing anyone with my sheets. He thought I was crazy when I bought them, but he understands why, now.

I'll have to try that. I did it the first time I used it, but I didn't put the pod in first, so that was on me, and it only stained one of my white undershirts, so it was no big deal.

 

[ISUME]

I don't trust those pod things. I still do it the way my Momma taught me...start the water running, then put the detergent in & let it dissolve, then put the clothes in. I taught my kids the same way, and one son called me up from college his freshman year to thank me. Seems he & some friends went to a blackout bowling party, and he was the only one who didn't have glow in the black lights spots on his jeans.

I'm guessing it wasn't detergent that was showing up under the black light.

isn't cold water better? I've always thought hot water works a stain in more or maybe that's just natural things like blood with the protein.

Final tally onna door I had to break in: Just over $100. Menard's bill was $180, but that included $40 for a screen door in the garage I had been thinking about anyway, and $30 for dog food, and a $10 rebate for the door. Friend and his family came over and we put it in this afternoon. Now have a screen door as well, which will be nice when the weather is agreeable. There's a lot of times there's one of us and the kiddos in the garage/front yard, and one of us in the kitchen, so the screen door will help the one in the kitchen not feel so isolated.

Could have bought some nice sheets with that if you wife just wouldn't have locked the keys in the house.

I have lemonade, was thinking of doing vodka lemonades because that sounds totes Mexican. Actually, it sounded summery. We have a bunch of beer and pop left in the fridge from moving and a friend's thing this weekend so I think we'll go with that and whatever I have on hand.

One would think finding Lo mein noodles in Hawaii would be easy....

Nothing sounds Mexican like a Russian booze.

Forget the lemonade and mix the vodka with half and half. Make It a real Mexican drink.

Forget the lemonade and the half & half & mix the vodka with Kahlua (which is Mexican).

 

[55dB]

If rum in mojitos can be Mexican, then I would totally roll with vodka in lemonade. I've had vodka lemonade the last two nights, actually.

 

[Rabbuk]

Vodka and Kahlua is lkike 2/3rds of the way to a white russian

How about Mexican rum to introduce the new friends to our Rummy gal?
