My mother invented the Fribee but around here, we just called it her pie crust.

20467. judithathome - 10/30/2006 11:46:26 PM

Crap...FriSbee.

My colonoscopy went well this morning; they found one polyp and removed it and I am on a liquid diet for two days and bland food for 5 more.

So hello mashed potatoes, tapioca pudding, cottage cheese, and plain pasta.

(Insert tactful and encouraging greeting to Judith here! Damn, can't think of one.)

(Damn. Should perhaps avoid the word "insert".)

20469. judithathome - 10/30/2006 11:50:08 PM

I'm still drugged...so that "pun" was funny.

Hello, Moties--what's new with you this beautiful morning?

I just voted, straight ticket this time. There were two questions, one about marriage and the other about death.

Then, I went to get a Latte and here I am reading W.M. Thackeray's Vanity Fair.

20471. judithathome - 10/31/2006 9:58:08 PM

I'm eagerly looking forward to tomorrow...not only will I be able to eat some REAL food, bland though it will be, but we are going to a free jazz concert at TCU tomorrow evening. Their jazz band is fabulous and we've been a few times; always enjoy it a lot.

Hi, Arky--what have you been doing lately?

20473. arkymalarky - 11/1/2006 1:28:51 AM

Hi Mags. I've been extremely busy, but like I said at the start of the semester, determined to at least lurk here a few minutes a day. I won't bore folks with a laundry list, but I have a lot of papers/projects/books to finish in November, in addition to a lot going on (nothing bad--just stuff) on the job and at home.

20474. arkymalarky - 11/1/2006 1:31:43 AM

I'm waiting out the evening to see if we go 0 for 23 on trick-or-treaters.

20475. arkymalarky - 11/2/2006 12:12:32 AM

Well, we did it again. Not a single trick-or-treater last night.

Mose went to a party as a "biker chick." I didn't see her costume, but when she went to drop off her dog at my parents' before she left, my dad said, "What are you dressed up as, a Nazi?"

20476. Magoseph - 11/2/2006 12:49:56 AM

Same thing here, not one kid rang the bell.

20477. judithathome - 11/2/2006 2:23:25 AM

Seven kids here...next year we're buying 10 Godiva bars and whatever is left, we eat.

20479. judithathome - 11/2/2006 2:31:19 AM

Magos, could you please delete that? I'm going to repost it in American Politics where I meant to put it.

20480. Magoseph - 11/2/2006 10:42:03 AM

Okeydoke, Missy!

20481. judithathome - 11/3/2006 2:10:41 AM

Be sure to watch or tape Hacking Democracy
tonight on HBO at 8 pm CST.

20482. judithathome - 11/3/2006 12:56:04 PM

I wish everyone in America..and the world...had watched.

20483. Magoseph - 11/5/2006 4:11:08 PM

We watched it, Judith--just made us sick.

20484. alistairConnor - 11/5/2006 4:17:22 PM

Same thing here : The girls had entertaining halloween evenings (in separate villages).

And not a single pilgrim came knocking at our door. Not surprised. We're 2 km from the village.

20485. Magoseph - 11/6/2006 10:33:26 AM

Hello, everyone--fairly good weather predicted for tomorrow, no rain, but cloudy, in the 50s.

Have you voted or are you voting tomorrow?

20486. alistairconnor - 11/6/2006 1:05:12 PM

Hi Mago

Temperatures plunged at the end of last week. Going from 20+ day/ 10° night to 10° max in the day and hard frosts. I burned a lot of firewood yesterday.
