    I used to like beets, especially pickled beets. Then last summer my son-in-law grilled.some on the bbq and they were under cooked (still hard) I didnt want to hurt his feelings so I ate them. That night I was ill and vomited and had the runs...yep, everything was red. I havent been able to eat a beet since.

    Ldesim, thanks, that is sweet of you to say.

    We decided to do a bus tour of DC, so that will give us time to check out some museums too. Just have to get everyone up and out the door early...fingers crossed.

    Hey Bobo, where the heck are you????? I miss you.

    OMG M if that woman's hair was shorter and she had a glass of champagne in the other hand it could pass for my mother !!

    FFS and to think when I was growing up every time we left the house she had to make sure that we had on clean underwear "just in case we were in an accident". Now I have to ask if she has any underwear on at all !!

    I told you, she threw us to the curb now that she has Max.

    Yes M, I am serious about the house porn.. once Bec is gone, we expect tons of pictures.

    omg Fia.. I can't wait for tomorrow night!!! This is going to be legendary!!! I think you should invite your mom lmao! Give us a teaser... what is she planning on cooking? Wasn't this the girl that couldn't manage a salad?? a friggin salad??? I know it's a pain in the ass for you, but good for your mom, I wish mine would loosen up a bit... not as much as yours has, mind you.. but a little bit. Sounds like your mother has been getting fashion advise from Z's LM :)

    No, McD's does not have good cookies.. but I like their little sundaes.

    I was thinking you need to buy some fake finger nails and add them to a bag of sliced almonds for the salad:)

    Good cookies aren't legal here. Just evicted a tenant for using and dealing. And other illegal activities. I hate being a landlady.

    Oh duh.. I just got the cookie/McD's reference.. I was like wtf would Spookie want cookies from McD's... geezus I can be dense at times. Luckily Bobo isn't around to take the piss out of me.

    Z, the fake finger nails is a truly evil idea!!!! woohoo :) C'mon M, I know you you have something truly devious to contribute. DP would would have loved thinking of things.

    Hopefully it's better in FL, than it is here... the laws all favor the friggin tenant.. it's ridiculous. Sorry about your problem tenant ;/

    Hi Hopeful,,, Welcome.  I've seen you on some other threads. We are a really crazy bunch here!!

    OK, the tradition is that there is a roasted egg on the Seder plate. I don't make the rules, FFS,,, I was just told to bring the wine and all the stuff for the Seder plate. So I google how to do a roasted egg,,, first you boil it,, then you put it in the toaster oven long enough to brown and maybe get a few cracks.  Well apparently I left it too long since it overheated and exploded. Glad I gave you a good laugh.   ** mental note:  plan to bring something else next year**  Oh yeah,, and one guest, who I have known for several years,, but not very well,,, found out I had been married.  "YOU were married?  You don't seem like the type."  WTF was that about?  I decided that I didn't care to persue that,, I'd had too much of the wine. Thankfully my friend's house is literally around the corner.

    You all who have not been to NYC,, let me know,, and I'll be there too. I love playing tour guide in NYC.  I'll have you running for buses and hopping on subways like a native. My only caveat is that I will insist upon going to my favorite hot dog stand/juice bar.  Papaya King. The one and only.

    Fia,,, OMG and all that is holy!  It is Easter weekend and Hair is cooking???? We expect a FULL report on this.  Can you take photos? THIS is an event.  I will text Bobo tomorrow and tell her she needs to get herself back over here cuz she will NOT want to miss this!!   Your mom cracks me up.  Tell us more. We will all have to start wearing Depends over here cuz we will be peeing ourselves so much over Mom and over Hair. 

     

    **giggling all the way to bed**

    I love NY, well I have only been there twice, but I loved it! One of the times it was snowing! Well, that's prob not that exciting to you guys, but for us, it is!

    Maybe HAiR will just cook fried eggs for dinner? Fia, that week without them went so fast! When do you hope to move in to your house in the mountains? That sounds so cool, "my house in the mountains

    Glennie, never heard about the roasted egg before. So shit, that's another trip to plan now... we got NOLA, we have to do Vegas in DP's honor, Australia, Disney, now NY. I need to get a couple more jobs to pay for this.

    WTF on the type... she calling you a floozy or something? Dang, I wish you had pursued it in your inebriated state haha :) How did the beets come out?

    Dawny, you said the evil "S" word! How could you be so damn cruel!?!? :)

    sorry L! The evil "s". Word. DH can't wait for "s" so he can go skiing. There are mountains for skiing about four hours drive from us. I took some pics so near my house for you all the other day, must post them.

    Waving to Hopful!

    Beautiful Dawny! Another dwelling in paradise! I will have to try to.get some pics of the Black Hills while we are here.

    Omg, I am still laughing about Fia and her gang of stoned seniors! Cannot wait for more Hair stories and what she served.

    When I was in New York I saw The Odd Couple on Broadway, Glennie would love to go with you as tour guide! Ds lived there for awhile so he showed me around but we still did a bus tour, learned do much.

    Off to bed, been a long day of travel

    Hi Hopeful! nice to see you here, I am sorry I didn't mention it earlier, but I have my Daughter here and I am only jumping on the computer occasionally to see what everyone is up to.

    She started it! Z you make me laugh so much! I was relaying all this at lunch, which was a really yummy Vitamix soup with lots of veg and just about every herb from the garden, followed by hot chilli wedge fries, with dipping sauces! Now to eat more chocolate. I am sticking by my story that if you eat heaps, in a short time you don't stack on the weight, like a little bit over a long time does. Don't spoil it for me by explaining how this is shit and I am dreaming, if I think it makes a difference!

    ldesim, it was you who wanted to go to NY wasn't it? Sorry I thought it was ndgirl, why don't we just all go?

    Dawny, that's beautiful! Don't know what kaje is either. Where are you holidaying? Our town is so busy I can't believe it, there are so many boats out and vans in town taking up all the parking spots. The supermarket is full of tourists, I will be glad when it is over.

    Spookiesmom, I hear you about being a landlady, I hated it too. We had 2 disappear without paying the rent, so decided investment property with tenants, was not our thing. I was considering buying a nice place here to rent out, but just don't want the hassles.

    Will post some more house porn later. M x

    OMG,, house porn and lovely scenery porn!!   Where is my teleporter so I can get to Aus???

    L:  it was a guy who said it to me. He's weird. He said something like:  "You? were married?? You just seem too,,,((something)) to be married"    I did not get that word.  It could have been "independent", but I decided I didn't want to follow up on the topic with him.  He is very long-winded when he talks,, and it can get quite boring.

    Laughing at the use of the "s" word!  But I can't blame you on that, L!  I would have chucked it all and flown to FL by now!

    Friends are coming to pick me up to go to a plant sale. Like I need more,, LOL,, but can't resist.  Back later

    **waving to all*

    Spookie I am moving too . OMG M and Dawny that house porn make me drool..............There is no way I am posting pictures of my house and all the snow ...............

    LMAO Zills I so want to get the fake fingernails ............................

    Idesim I gave her some recipes ...............Here is the official HAIR Menu for tonight at 5 pm

    Pumpkin Curry Soup (My Recipe)

    Chicken Breasts (something she googled all I know is cheese and bread crumbs)

    Fresh Asparagus

    Chocolate Eclair Cake (my recipe)

    I agreed to supervise her making the cake and she is on her own for the rest ...............So last night she starts the cake and she is slow as hell...................... DS comes down and asks what she is making and says holy shit is mom cooking this stuff . She says no and he rolls his eyes. So I have to get him off to the side and tell him to leave her alone about this as she does not know how to cook and the only way she is going to learn is to F some things up . So during this cooking she tells me that they just ate crap and TV dinners growing up (so the apple does not fall too far from the tree)

    I leave the kitchen for 5 minutes to pee.............When I get back shes says the eclair crust is done and it was all bubbly "so I forked it" ................ I said ok well your were not supposed to, so now the filling is going to run out of the bottom but ok . HAIR says "well my Mom won't care and my Dad will just be impressed I cooked something .

    There is absolutely no way I could invite my mother to this dinner . I can just see her telling CT (Camel Toe) you don't need to eat that ......how much do you weigh................ Oh hell I hope she does not wear those leopard leggings tonight.................

    Tomorrow I am required to attend Easter brunch at the compound. Since it is at 10:30 am I am hopeful it will be too early for them to be stoned.

    Glennie we had no idea you were a floozie :-) Perhaps my mother could give you some wardrobe tips................... I cannot help myself that egg picture still has me laughing

    Ok need more coffee now before this day full of DRAMA starts !

    Bobo you had better no have kicked us to the curb !!!

    Hi to everyone I missed
