You know, I was just thinking that. Mind you, Mike, there’s nobody else listening anyway. Oh? Sorry, Soubriquet here, England, north of, no, not Maine, real England, the old one…
So.. Oh, thanks, yes, a beer yes, that would be fine.
Now, does this place do anything that combine cheese and bacon.
Oh yes…
Next person to the mic, please.
I have a question for everybody: An ex-friend of mine who ripped me off for $300 over three years ago discovered that he had loaned me a book he desperately needed back. (He loaned me a loaned book, the guy who gave him the book died- I’ve never met him).
I told him no $$- no book. Now there’s a certified check waiting for me at the PO!
So, my question is: Should I be in any kind of hurry to send this book back to him? He has made NO apology- and would not have paid me if I hadn’t had this book. This guy has stabbed me in the back, deserted me, and ripped me off.
Your thoughts? LOL
Storm give the book back posthast. Let the bad karma fall on his head. Besides it will feel nice to be done with the whole thing once and for all. (mho)

Good Morning everyone. Well storminator, I’ll take a stab at your question. Being in the Christmas spirit and everything, and it’s been 3 Christmas’s that have passed since he owed you, I’d say naw…don’t be in too much of a hurry. Make sure that the certified cheques is there and very real and then send the book back C.O.D. I’m saying this all tongue in cheek as WE are suppose to share the Christmas Spirit with all mankind, but most mankind just want to put the screws to us. Karma…maybe.
Besides that, I have a lot of love in my heart for good people. Wonderful Bitscared from Australia handmade me 5 beautiful wool caps for my head so I can keep my head warm through this winter. Now isn’t that the most loving thing that a person from half way around the world could do. A Lovely Lady that has a full family and takes the time to make caps that she would probably never wear in that climate, but she did for me. It brings tears to my eyes and that is the kind of person that I would move the earth for. Thank You Bitscared and I hope I didn’t embarrass you. You are a treasure.
WifeMotherMe and ALN are probably right. Send the book back but when it’s convenient to you and then that will be done.
I agree with Bella, money first, make sure the the check is good, then he gets the book.I don’t have much faith in people as of right now, trust no one.
Storminator
You told him no money, no book.
He’s given you the money, so…
Make sure the cheque clears then give the book back immediately. Otherwise you’re just lowering yourself to his level.
Oh, and don’t go near him with money ever again.
Oh, and Bitsy – I need socks. :0)
So I saw this and nearly peed my pants because I was laughing so hard.
Storminator – I agree with Maffu. don’t lower yourself to his level. be the better person! I also agree with Bella – send it back COD!
Let him have the book, though it’s no more his than it is yours.
Then have nothing more to do with him.
Make sure the money clears before you return the book.
Yeah, as a late, great, president said. “Trust, but verify”.
Buckwheat, you could have seen that clip here last week.
On a completely unrelated note:
I am snowed in. They won’t let me go outside because the snow is up to our fences and they’re afraid they’ll lose me. We’re going to have a cookie-baking marathon, and watch Christmas movies.
What’s everyone’s favorite Christmas movie? I vote for Love Actually (which is a perfectly awesome movie any time of year) or White Christmas.
Kate, being snowed in, eating cookies, and watching Christmas movies…what’s not to love?
“It’s a wonderful life” for me.
I like A Christmas Story and the silliness of Christmas Vacation. Of course the old kids’ tv classics are still the best. Charlie Brown, Rudolph, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and all the others never get old for me.
Yeah Scott, I agree on the kids classics…It’s not Christmas unless I’ve watched Rudolph.
What about Elf….. Did You HEAR that?
“An act of kindness, a tender smile
These little blessings make it all worth while.
For each and every bell that rings
Another angel gets her wings.”
Seem like there’s been a lot of bells ringing this year in Prince George and Melbourne and Scottsdale, too.
I’m looking for opinions on which booze goes best with eggnog. Our family is split evenly between rum, whiskey or bourbon. And no infi, you only get one kind per glass.
Do one of each, and let them decide.
Ok does anyone here know how to bottle chicken soup? I want to make like several very large pots of it and stick it into bottles which do not have to be placed in a fridge and can be opened at some later point. If anyone can tell me how to do this I will gladly share a chicken soup recipe that has been in my family for over 6 generations and is really really good.
You have to can, not bottle it. I hope this works.
Richard, I’ve got the best eggnog recipe there is. My step-grandmother was apparently an alcoholic, though. She called for an entire bottle of Canadian Club, as well as some Christian Brothers and Bacardi. I had to cut it down a bit.
Also, I’ve never see A Christmas Story. And I really don’t ever want to see Rudolph again. And I find ELF offensive. Wow, I think I’M the Grinch or something…
Scott, is that your house all decorated up in your avatar? It looks beautiful.
Yes, Klaw, feeling much better. Semester’s over and I’m snowed in, so I have some free time. Thought I’d stop by and stir things up.
Kate, what kind of cookies did you make me?
Thanks, Bella! It was my pleasure to make them! Maffu – I am not sure about socks but I could do you some nice retro leg warmers?
Favourite Christmas movie is Love Actually and It’s a Wonderful Lif, mostly because I adore Jimmy Stewart!
I have been cooking up a storm and yesterday made Rum and Raisin fudge, Maple nut fudge, Rocky Road both dark and milk chocolate and Cranberry and pistachio nought! Today I need to make Rum Balls and then lots of gingerbread to be made during the week, including a house for the Christmas table! Lucky I like baking! Wish I could send you all some, the nougat is amazing!!
soubriquet – Give back the book after the cheque clears. You don’t need that sort of energy in your life.
Where is Infi? Is he trapped under on of his avatars?!
Maffu in leg warmers!…the Christmas miracle!!
Pics or it didn’t happen!
isiah, would bottling it like jam work? I dunno, just a thought.
Mmmm, fudge!!
I think infi is busy with the horse lady.
Nirvana….fudge. Oh Gawd.
I wonder if Infi has found himself a SWEET one?
Just sugar cookies this time, klaw. I make them paper thin. They’re wonderful. They’re basically gone as soon as I take them out of the oven.
Bitsy– LOVE ACTUALLY IS THE BEST :D. And I love Jimmy Stewart, too.
Agreed Kate! And your cookies sound delicious!!
I should just ask one of the amish guy’s at work.
(=Snowed In) * SIGH *
Should catch some sleep so I can dig myself out in the am… maybe?
I got a cookie factory for Christmas. Can’t wait to get cookin’ 😀
Well, it’s 2:20 am Sunday. I just got home after a good Christmas party. I probably won’t be posting too early Sunday morning. I had a busy week getting ready for the party. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal posting now. (But you probably didn’t notice my less than stellar performance the last few days.)
Nite all!
A man leans over & asks his wife, “Do you remember the first time we had sex together, over fifty years ago? We went behind this very tavern,
where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.”
“Yes, I remember it well” she says. “OK,” he says, “How about taking a stroll around there again and lets do it there again, for old times sake?”
“Charlie,- you old devil, -it sounds crazy, but why not?”
A police officer, sitting in the next booth listening to all this, chuckles to himself. He thinks, “I’ve got to see these two old birds in action.I’ll just keep an eye on them so there’s no trouble.” So he follows them.
They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, Finally, they get to the back of the tavern, make their way to the fence, the old
lady lifts her skirt & the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in. Suddenly, they erupt into the most furious sex the watching policeman has ever encountered. The action goes on for what seems to be at least 10 minutes.
Loud noises, moans, groans, grunts & sighs are emitted from both partners.
Finally, they both collapse on the ground, exhausted.
The policeman is totally amazed. He feels that he has learned something important about life & aging that he couldn’t have imagined. After half an hour of lying there recovering, the old couple struggles to their feet, re-arranges their clothing, and start to leave. The policeman thinks, I’ve got to find out what their secret is.
As the couple passes, he says, “Excuse me, I happened to see that, and I must say – it was truly amazing! You must have had a fantastic sex life
together. Is there some sort of secret to your ability to perform like that?”
The old man replies, “Well – fifty years ago that wasn’t an electric fence.”
Hi to everybody on here…..has everybody got their Christmas shopping done? yea I would like to know booze is best with eggnog Crown Royal is my drink but I have never tried it with eggnog,Ana send us some cookies
Best Christmas films?
Die Hard.*
Trading Places.
Jason and the Argonauts.**
*(yes it is).
**(Ok, so this one is not strictly a christmas film,but they used to put it on the telly every christmas when I was a little ‘un so I always think of it at this time of year and vice versa)
@Bitsy – can you also knit me a one-strap leotard to go with the legwarmers?
TAP-TAP-TAP….Is this thing on?
You know, I was just thinking that. Mind you, Mike, there’s nobody else listening anyway. Oh? Sorry, Soubriquet here, England, north of, no, not Maine, real England, the old one…
