Merry Christmas to me......

14 years ago

Our restaurant supply store is on Facebook, and if you like them, you are automatically entered in their 12 days of Christmas daily draw.

Yippeeeeee today I won a 3-pce Henckels plastic cutting board set. They're white, with non-slip edges. Not bad, out of 525 "friends".

(They're so nice and white, I hate to use them!! )

Hi Alice, I am sooo sorry to hear about your well head. I have lived that very same experience with our family property. The well head died & well went dry about 6 months after my Grandfather passed away (4 years ago) in the middle of summer, it was really stressful. The positive for you & your family is the piece of mind moving forward that your well is good to go. The guy that we dealt with (3rd generation family owned well company, since the 1920s) told me that a good quality well head should last 20-30 years with good water conditions/good well configuration. You will sleep good at night not worrying about your well, & you deserve that Big-Time for all that you do on this forum helping people. Keep us posted how the well pump change-out works out. Best of Luck to you.

gschick, that's a fun link. Thanks! I am looking a lot at before/after painted pieces for inspiration. My garage is now half full of tables, nightstands and desks, etc., most under $20, all needing some love before we head south. This will be interesting since I have been more into wood refinishing in the past, but Florida seems to cry out for clean bright light colors. When I see a redone yellow or coral or turquoise or robin's egg piece, I think they are wonderful. I'll have to get over being timid and shake off the painting-wood-is-sacrilige mentality. I have time to think and pick colors, as we won't move for a year or two. The garage shop is shut down anyways for a couple months until spring. Way too cold out there to paint or finish anything!

We're pretty sure it was the little twerp (about 9 years old) who lives diagonnally behind us. I had told him previously to stop cutting through my yard and climbing the fence to go from our street to his. We didn't realize that the first time happened there--we THOUGHT the first incident occurred at the new house. Until the second one which HAD to have happened back at the old house. After that, we installed a driveway alarm and it did catch the twerp cutting through a couple of times. We obviously can't prove he was the one who did it but we're about convinced. No, not in the garage, but we live over 30 miles away, so hopefully.... And yes, it's very annoying that someone would do damage like that, I've been SO angry over it. And even now--I am thrilled that DH had the work done for me for Christmas, but when you get right down to it, the little twerp actually cost me a Christmas present--I'd have gotten something else, something fun, if it weren't for this needed (and wanted) repair.

No tea in it yet, Moni. I almost don't want to get it dirty. :) Flamey, that bee is so cute, isn't it? It's English bone china and I sure hope I don't chip or break either one! They may just end up being for show. I'll see how I feel about it. Thank you all for the comments. I'm happy to see others treat themselves well as well.

Jas, I have this set - get your bleach rag out and wipe it after every use - they stain if you don't.

Kay, that's just it......I know carrots stain like the dickens....my regular white plastic board is orangeish.

I just had it soaking in the sink with bleach and water.
I may just use these for "good food." But that doesn't leave much. Celery and potatoes. LOL

I keep diluted javex in a squirt bottle that I use on my boards, I'll just make it a habit of using it every day.

After 35 years of use I'm [finally] having to replace my boning and paring knives. They've been honed so much over the years that they've warn down to an unsafe width.I've elected to replace them with Henckels...which I'm picking up one at a time due to my frugal budget. The 4" paring knife arrived a couple of weeks ago and I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful piece it is. Susan...you'll love them. ;-) They're worth the extra $$$.

Son gave me some black ... and some gray, for Christmas ...

... a couple of years ago, along with new white ones ...

... but I only got to take one home, could get the next when I brought in a trader.

Made about one trade ... felt that the others were in too good condition to part with, to have thrown out.

I got the others last Christmas - looks like I outwaited 'em.
