I love the snow ice cream idea. Thanks for sharing!

I’m glad nothing blew up when you lit the pilot light. I can barely stand to light the grill. A little voice in my head says “Danger Will Robinson! Danger! Danger!” every time.

Because I’m so enamored with all of you online gals who knit, I’ve decided to learn. No joke…at Hobby Lobby there is a book, “Learn to Knit in a Day” and dang’it if I’m not going to be a perfect knitter (?), knittress (?), knitalicousesstress in JUST ONE DAY. Just you wait. You’ll be so jealous. All of you who have taken YEARS to fine tune your skills – heh

I’m telepathic.
The guy loved the hat.
So did his wife – especially because of the lavender.

I would love to see you knit a tea cozy for your new furnace. It might take you until next January but think of the possibilities! You could begin making them for everyone and sell enough to pay for your furnace!

There’s a tea cozy on my head right now. That’s why I’m talking crazy.

We just got a new furnace in November, which is an efficient improvement on the 1973 beastie in the basement we had before. We got three estimates, but did not go with the one who mentioned his Crohn’s disease. He was also the one who asked us if we are Catholic because we have four kids. Which we are. But STILL. Stereotyping someone to their face? And then laughing? Not cool. Sorry about your bloody diarrhea, but we won’t be paying you $10,000.

Okay, so after reading Patois’ comment, I’m thinking the sax is more “Born to Run” and less “Thunder Road”. It’s a cinch that I am not well-versed in Springsteen sax solos.

The guy loves the hat!! He probably just didn’t know what to say. Maybe he thinks you have the hits for him

Wow. Just wow. It still strikes me as funny that i am the grown-up now and have to be concerned with furnace type problems and not just what time cartoons come on USA Cartoon Express. So glad you were able to light a pilot light without incident. Bravo!

Whoa, Jeff watch that truck..look out for that cliff!!! My knuckles were white as I watched that. The ice cream was a fun idea, not so great w/o heat in the house, though. Sorry your furnace probably spent your yarn money, that blows!

Listen, you people in that other hemisphere, give the cold stuff a rest, hey? It’s 35C here & I’m over it. I would love a day or two of cold. But that’s all. Also, how did he get the slices of lemon out, that’s what I want to know.

And yes, like ElandSimon I’ve been asked for directions in many unfamiliar cities, including Rome, where my basic Italian got me through that very strange experience. Bus-faced, I like it.

I feel your furnace pain. Ours stopped working two days before Christmas. I was sick as a dog with a cold/sinus infection and had pulled a muscle in my back from the coughing. The furnace guy gave us the bad news on Christmas Eve. We ended up getting a new furnace and a/c (we knew we needed the a/c, but planned on waiting a few more months). Merry Freaking Christmas!
Our furnace guy told me he felt like he’d done about 3000 sit-ups because he’d been throwing up for five days (his wife food poisoned the whole family). You win though, with the ‘peeing sangria’ comment.
