  1. PSA:if you buy green cury paste from an Asian food market, it will be MUCH spicer than the stuff sold at the grocery store or TJ's

      My sympathies! :)

      Use a lot of coconut milk in the curry to bring down the spiciness.

      Add lots of coconut milk. If not soy milk works too.

  2. Spent the afternoon worried about my college dd. She spent the afternoon at the ER, making sure she didn't have appendicitis. She did not.

  3. My poor dd. We are working through Jane Eyre, which is my favorite novel ever (but not hers!). I'm even blasting the music from the broadway musical. :)

      I liked the last movie version, with Mia Wasikowska. It did a decent job of capturing the feeling of the novel.

      Hey Kim,

      Are you using any resources for your discussion? We're doing this book next. This is my all-time favorite book, too, and I don't want to ruin it for dd. SWB has suggested not making kids dissect their favorite books and I feel this way about Jane Eyre for me. I don't want to analyze it...I just want to savor it's loveliness again (sigh).

  4. There are rats in my basement and one is trying to claw it's way into my kitchen.:(

      Now I ordered one on Amazon. We put down a bunch of traps and bait, but I'm thinking with rats, it's going to be a long battle.

  5. Long and bad day. I backed out of a driveway into a parked car.

      Blech! What a sick feeling.

      Oh man! Sometimes our neighbor parks right across from our driveway, and I worry so much about doing that!

      Yeah, it's not a good place to park. And the police officer said the insurance may but some of the responsibility on her, since it's illegal to park across from a driveway. While I think it was bad to do that, it was my fault for hitting her parked car.

  6. I hate wall to wall carpet. I think it should be banned. Only hardwood, tile, or laminate should be allowed. That is all.

    1. quark

      Nodding head vigorously. We are hoping to switch to laminate soon.

      We want to switch to all hardwoods due to pets, not allergies. Carpets absorb too many odors and are harder to keep clean.

      Don't miss carpets AT ALL!

  7. I need to stay off of Amazon. I've ordered way too much on that site in the last 2 weeks!

  8. make that a double. Yes, it's been that kind of day.....

      Amen. A funeral this morning & a visitation tonight. I feel like a wrung out dishrag. Cheers.

      Were you able to take the front off or the rubber somehow? I know a major cleaning needs to be done on mine too because of the smell.

  14. floor guy called and cancelled, again. I beginning to think my bedroom floor will never be done. I'm tired of my stuff all over the house.

  18. Love my local hardware store. Went in to try and buy lye.Other stores no longer sell it (drug related). He had it, keeps it in the back. You have to ask for it and he'll only sell it to you if he knows you. :)
