I had an uneventful weekend full of naps. Yesterday I roasted my first duck. It came with a pack of orange glaze which was full of crap we don't eat: chemicals that's aren't food and whatnot. I reduced some onions and ginger in Not Your Father's Root Beer for about an hour instead of using the packaged glaze. Cooked the duck on 250 for about 4 hours. I glazed it and set it to cook another half hour on 425. The end product was to die for. I don't think I've had meat quite so tender in my life. The bride made venison and rice as well as butternut squash for sides. The whole meal was amazing.

Being the wonderful, nightmare inducing father that I am, I put on Jaws for the twins (6) and the spawn (4) so I could nap after dinner. They had never seen it before. I was sleeping well until the scene where the shark eats Quint. When blood started spurting out of Quint's mouth the spawn jumped up and yelled "I LOVE JAWS!!!!!" It's official. He's mine.



It's the most effective way that I've discovered.
I am so desperate I will do it if I can get up the strength to go out for lemons

It's too late now. It's not a panacea. You have to do it at the onset, and it will either get rid of the cold or make it much shorter than it likely would have been. I hope you feel better, hun. I know it sucks.

It's raining here again, and probably will be all day.
At least it held off until after the football game yesterday.

Sounds like an excellent plan!!


I woke up at 9, slowly enjoyed two cups of coffee, and finally got out to run three errands about 11:15:
- Post Office - needed 1st class postage for an envelope full of papers for the BBB
- grocery - needed to pickup some Mary B's frozen buttermilk biscuits
- Batteries Plus Bulbs - needed a new gel battery for the alarm system.

Isn't it a shame? The old battery only lasted eleven years. Considering the relative instability of our power, I'm amazed it lasted even five years. The old battery had 4 Ah capacity and the new one has 5 Ah capacity, so it should definitely last at least ten more years. Best of all, the alarm system won't throw madly beeping alarms at all hours of the day and night. Like it did about 9:30 last night.
Got that T-Shirt. Irritating as all Hell.

Definitely.

I paid three times as much for the battery buying it locally, than if I'd ordered it online. I didn't want to wait days for the battery to arrive, with the damned alarm complaining all the time. And if the alarm company replaced it, it would have been tons more, anyway.

I'm arguing with Windstream about my internet speed now... my bill says I have "Price For Life Solo Internet", and an additional line item for "Max Speed". They're trying to tell me that to get upgraded to 24 megs, which is the new max speed, I have to change my plan.

Well, got nowhere with the online chat, I'll have to call them to explain why what they're trying to do is bullshit, and make some vague threats about contacting my state attorney general and see if they play ball.

Good luck with that. These days, it's all about grabbing as much $$$ as they can.
