1. What holds your keys together? Do you have a keychain?
Yes, it's a metal ring.

2. Have you ever eaten powdered peanut butter?
No, I've never heard of such a thing. I love PB, though, and would try it if I had the chance.

3. What are you an extreme cheapskate about?
I think it's wasteful to buy Ziploc bags and just use them once, so I rinse or wipe them clean, let them dry and reuse them until they leak or start to look funky.

4. Do you have one foot bigger than the other?
Yes, one is slightly larger. I think that's fairly common.

5. Would you rather be OVERDRESSED or UNDERDRESSED at an event or party?
Underdressed

6. What size is the biggest TV you have?
We only have one. It's 42 inches.

7. In Memoriam

8. Do you prefer cooking on gas or charcoal outside?
I don't cook outdoors. My indoor stove is electric, unfortunately. I'd prefer gas.

9. What color is your wallet?
Black, but my next wallet will be a bright color so I can find it the bottom of my black handbag.

10. Do you have Polaroid pictures in any of your old photo albums?
Yes, quite a few.

11. What did you last buy in a convenience store?
A car wash (it was a gas station convenience store).

12. Did you ever sell your plasma for cash?
No. I've donated blood, though.

13. What is something you need to get rid of but you just can't seem to part with?
Old black and white family photos I inherited from my mother that mean nothing to me because I have no idea who the people are, and she is no longer here to tell me.


14. Baby powder

15. Where were you the last time you wrote your name on a sticky nametag with a Sharpie?
Santa Clara, CA at a high school reunion picnic.

Thanks, Linda!

Good morning friends! - Good morning, Linda.
I'm posting in the middle of the night again but at least I am off today! Back to sleep later...

1. What holds your keys together? Do you have a keychain? - Standard ring.

2. Have you ever eaten powdered peanut butter? - Never heard of it.

3. What are you an extreme cheapskate about? - I'm not, on anything.

4. Do you have one foot bigger than the other? - I don't think so. On a somewhat related note I wish my feet weren't so wide...

5. Would you rather be OVERDRESSED or UNDERDRESSED at an event or party? - I don't / only rarely attend.

6. What size is the biggest TV you have? - My current one is 39 inches and going to waste.

7. In the City - Roger McGuinn - Chris Hillman. Title track from the "City" CD:

Left her home, came to town, ran around in the city
Lost some dreams, found some scenes, lost and found in the city
Met some men, just pretend she's in love in the city
Hurt pride long slide, try to hide in the city......

8. Do you prefer cooking on gas or charcoal outside? - Haven't cooked on the latter in 40 years, so...

9. What color is your wallet? - Black

10. Do you have Polaroid pictures in any of your old photo albums? - Nope

13. What is something you need to get rid of but you just can't seem to part with?- My TV!

14. Baby, I love Your Way - Peter Frampton:

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
but don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
want to tell you I love your way every day
want to be with you night and day...

15. Where were you the last time you wrote your name on a sticky nametag with a Sharpie? - N/A.

Thanks, Linda

Lyrics posted are brief excerpts.

Hope everyone will have a nice Tuesday. Perfect weather predicted here.

Ooh it's apple season. I also really like this recipe…yum.

Applesauce Bars from AR



1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup applesauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in applesauce. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice; stir into the applesauce mixture until well blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Cool in the pan over a wire rack.
In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and margarine. Stir in vanilla and milk until smooth. Spread over cooled bars before cutting into squares.



Have a wonderful day. Thanks Linda

Good morning friends!

1. What holds your keys together? Do you have a keychain? Yes - I have 2 bright colored ( 1 red & 1 lime green) carbiners (those metal oval things that some workmen put their keys on and attach them to their work belt or pant loops).

Long story but I'll try to keep it short: I was driving to NC and early in the trip I thought I lost my car key fob at one of my stops. I had one left but was in a tizzy because if I lost that one I was SOL, not to mention the expense for replacing the one I lost. I had a money belt on and kept the remaining fob in it at all times except when opening the doors, but it would go right back into the money belt. This was a great source of anxiety along the way - I patted the money belt constantly to make sure it was still there. While I was in NC the sun was shining just right and I saw the lost one stuck down in a narrow crevice along side the car seat - since the fob was black and so was the car carpet - it was almost invisible. So, after that I bought these carbiners - 2 so that the fob is now too bulky to slide down a narrow crevice, very bright so it's easily seen and if I did drop it there would be a clang when the 2 metal carbiner clang together. I can even attach it to my belt loops if I want. My fob is easy to find in my purse now also.


2. Have you ever eaten powdered peanut butter? Have never heard of powdered PB.

3. What are you an extreme cheapskate about? Cable TV - if I paid the high price I would probably watch too much TV so I got some value from it. I do't have cable TV

4. Do you have one foot bigger than the other? dunno

5. Would you rather be OVERDRESSED or UNDERDRESSED at an event or party?

6. What size is the biggest TV you have? 40 something

7. In_the Twilight Zone_____________________

8. Do you prefer cooking on gas or charcoal outside?

9. What color is your wallet? gray

10. Do you have Polaroid pictures in any of your old photo albums? a few

11. What did you last buy in a convenience store? Gas

12. Did you ever sell your plasma for cash? Yes - when I worked at the Mayo Clinic they would pay $25 - big money then. You had to weigh 110 lbs. but I was only 102 so I bought weights and put them in my pockets & shoes

13. What is something you need to get rid of but you just can't seem to part with? My grandmother's old pedal sewing machine - weighs a ton.

14. Baby_blues_________________________


15. Where were you the last time you wrote your name on a sticky nametag with a Sharpie? Long long time ago at a work function.

Best answer from last week Larksong!!!!

Have you ever said "TAKE A PICTURE...IT WILL LAST LONGER?".........Yes I have. During my broken heel ordeal. I was in a parking lot using my knee scooter (I couldn't put any weight on my foot for over 3 months) a lady was very obvious with her curiosity by pointing and moving around so she could watch me. I engaged my mouth and out came "TAKE A PICTURE....IT WILL LAST LONGER " I was at the point I'd had it with all the rude people pointing and staring at me.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!! Hope you embarrassed them...HAHA!!!

So long for now peoples.......
See y'all next week!!!

Thank you linda

1. What holds your keys together? Do you have a keychain?

Very simple round ring


2. Have you ever eaten powdered peanut butter?

I never knew there was such a thing.


3. What are you an extreme cheapskate about?

Many things. But I am smart enough not to go cheap on things like power tools, bicycles etc. But sugar or mustard? Store brand all the way.

4. Do you have one foot bigger than the other?

Not to my knowledge

5. Would you rather be OVERDRESSED or UNDERDRESSED at an event or party?

Over

6. What size is the biggest TV you have?

42" Last one was 50" and I thought that was too big. But now I struggle to read type or see a hockey puck.

7. In__between a rock and a hard place____________________

8. Do you prefer cooking on gas or charcoal outside?

A friend just gave me a charcoal grill in June. Still use the gas one, it's easier and faster.

9. What color is your wallet?

Brown leather

10. Do you have Polaroid pictures in any of your old photo albums?

No

11. What did you last buy in a convenience store?

Coffee

12. Did you ever sell your plasma for cash?

Sure. Spent a summer in Boulder, CO and it was an easy way to make $10. Ended up dating the woman who worked there for a short time

13. What is something you need to get rid of but you just can't seem to part with?

Golf shirts. I buy short sleave, heavy weight golf shirts at closeout because they are so damned cheap. But only a tool wears golf shirts to a party or out to dinner so these shirts serve exactly one function: playing golf when it's between 67 and 73 degrees. That's it, that's the list. And I currently have 17 of these stupid things.

14. Baby____Needs a new pair of shoes. Or maybe a golf shirt______________________


15. Where were you the last time you wrote your name on a sticky nametag with a Sharpie?

Class reunion maybe
