Ellie Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 58 minutes ago, KrissiK said: I say y’all. I love that word. Back in the day when I just got out of college I volunteered for a year in Central Kentucky with an organization. And I loved it. Kentucky is such a beautiful state and I was fascinated by the way people talked. I loved their accents, I loved their vocabulary. And I used it, too. I didn’t care how dumb I looked. Now I’d probably get put in PC jail for cultural appropriation or something. 😂 (Though I would consider it more cultural appreciation) I embraced my y'all many years ago when I was still in California (I am a GRITS--Girls Raised In The South--on both parents' sides, so yeah, I get to say it). I learned "all y'all" and "y'alls" when I got to Texas; I had not heard them in southeastern Virginia and the OBX (OBX natives don't say "y'all," even though technically they are Southern). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 When I was in college we had a suite-mate from Dallas and she had a sweet little accent. It tended to fade, though as the semester progressed. Except when she was talking to a cute guy. 🙄. Then it showed up loud and clear.😂 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Our dryer broke Monday. Either the fuses or the heating element went out. We ordered the $8 fuses and hope that is the only problem. Our parts came Wednesday. We are attempting the repair now. So many tiny screws! It’s a bazillion steps of taking things apart to get to the fuse. We can survive without a dryer for a while, but that’s more complicated here than in TX, where everything dried in an hour or less. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 So, it's not just the fuse. The heating element isn't showing conductivity either. Just ordered that part. $100. This will be our last repair attempt. If this part doesn't solve it, we're in the market for a new dryer (eventually). Thank goodness I own four drying racks. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the guy if he had attempted delivery previously. He said no. But he has made deliveries all up and down my road over the last week, but first time he has been to my house.

Ellie Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Mr. Ellie is beating up removing the tile in the kitchen (sometimes referred to as the backsplash, but I don't think that's right. The backsplash is the tile/laminate/whatnot that goes up a couple of inches above the counter, and above that is, you know, the wall, but I could be wrong). He will have to replace the sheetrock, because some of it is coming off in chunks with the tile in spite of his best efforts to only remove the tile. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I didn't know that Costco did Black Friday and I sent Matt to get carrots and floss. He abandoned the quest before it began. I looked online and they don't have anything interesting but I found a silver cowboy hat chip server. You put the salsa in the top of the hat and the chips go in the rim. Matt wants the hat. It's $64. Matt cannot have the hat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a getting ready to move montage set to particularly danceable music in which everything gets packed, we find the perfect apartment, I don't hurt my back, the baby is fully potty-trained and I possibly lose some weight. Can one of you whip that up for me? Thanks. Please feel free to ignore the fact that I mentioned eating ice cream and wanting to lose weight in the same post.

Susan in TN Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Dh and I went to four stores that were not too near the mall and everything was fine. We bought one thing and did not buy another because they said the sale would go on for the rest of the month, so no hurry and we can look online to find other options. Yay for helpful sales people! We also stopped by the grocery store to buy cream for the coffee. The decorations are mostly up. Dh is hanging the stockings over the front windows because we don't have a fireplace. Turkey broth should be about done. Hot chocolate mix is done, but not very tasty. I now remember why I don't make homemade hot chocolate mix. I think we are having leftovers again for dinner. Dd20 wants to go downtown after dinner to look at Christmas lights, so we will do that. I'm ready to go to bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 John's NaNoWriMo is going well. He writes about one page, maybe 40 words a day. I told him about the idea at the beginning of the month and he jumped at it. I didn't really mean in second grade. His book is about 2 dinosaurs studying human biology who come across an orphaned 2 year old human and adopt it. There have been tornadoes, a terrible snow storm and a pretty girl dinosaur. The baby wears a wolf skin his mom made him before she died and the dinosaurs help him keep it safe. It's all very traumatic. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
