WAs it a movie and/or song:  3 dog night???  meant cold enuf for 3 dogs on the bed.  

Holy Suckola, wish.  What a scary scenario - glad you got up to go potty or who knows what might have happened.   My brother has a gun safe with a combination lock on it and not easy to break into.    Ask the police for extra drive bys since this happened, even though they caught the guy.   The guy must be a first class idiot to tromp thru snow and leave footprints.  At least they caught him and no one was hurt.   But THAT SUCKS Big time...

 Nothing sucky going on with me except waiting for surgery on Friday.  I got the doctor to phone in a pain prescription which I will pick up today to have on hand when I get home.  Laundry is today's chore.   Hugs, Nancy

alert

You are very welcome.   I have half an act together today - desk is clear of any papers, bills or junk.  But I am still in robe at 11:30...     

I will put the short rib recipe here for all to see:   The exact amount of meat (ribs) to use is up to you and the size of your crock pot.

Need:   Crock pot or maybe can do in the oven, but I never did in the oven.

Short ribs

Can of Crushed pineapple with juice

Bottle of Bar B Q sauce

Can of beer

Chopped onions - I like LOTS, so use 3

********

Braise the ribs under the broiler to draw off some of the fat - or fast cook in frying pan on top of the stove.   The idea is to get some of the fat off before you put in the crock pot.

Line bottom of the crock pot with chopped onions.

Put ribs on top of onions. Then pineapple, bar b q sauce and beer.

Put lid on and slow simmer for 6-8 hours or until tender.

*************

If all the sauce and beer do not fit, put equal amounts of each - like half a bottle and half a can.

ENJOY 

Thanks everyone for the good wishes.   I hope everyone has a really good week.   HUGS, Nancy

Hi, Hugs, and THAT SUCKS for those who need it.   Marking my spot till later.

I remember after my husband had open heart surgery and that big wound down the middle of his chest.  They gave us saline solution to wash it with and said to air dry as much as possible till it healed over and that was like 20 years ago.   

Thanks Hunky - I am a list maker and will get most of it done if not all of it.   I have some cryptogram and cross word books, and a couple of DVD's that I enjoy watching over and over - Shawshank Redemption is my all time favorite.  

Have a good weekend.  HUGS,  Nancy 

Christmas, schritzmas !!!  I agree that all the hoopla is too stressful.  I have not done a tree for the past 5 years - call me Scrooge if you want, but just for me is silly.   I was thinking of getting the CD or DVD that has a glowing fireplace that shows in the TV screen, but my TV is small and on top of a long table and would look weird.   Once my son and his wife have kids, I think it will be lots of fun with the surprise and gifts and all, but for now - nope.   I do have several holiday tops and one dressy blouse with gold stripes and poinsettias embroidered on it.   Maybe I will change from a wig to a Santa hat to cover my head !!    

Don't you just love people who tell you when and where to be and what to do?  I dig my heels in and say I am not in the mood, or help me out and explain why I have to do it because YOU said so.  

(((Wish))), sorry about your uncle. I had a phone call from 2 friends - one's sister died and the other is doing hospice in her home for her sister.   This time of year they say more people die than any other time of the year -- what a happy thought... NOT !!!    

Let's get out the smilies and have a good weekend.   Hugs,  Nancy 

True, I will write out checks and attempt to balance the checkbook !!

I too feel the love of this sisterhood and cannot thank everyone for the support given.  

The next person got a flu shot this year ( both my onco and surgeon said to get it, as I have always done in the past )
