Checking In-Anyone Still Around?
Hi everyone,
Been quite a while, but I thought I'd check in and see how everyone was doing.
Still living here in the Denver area (Westminster-lived in Arvada for about a year and when that wasn't working anymore, I moved over here into another roomie situation).
Worked a few jobs since. Some were seasonal (best one was at a local nursery called Echter's-family owned and operated-I was a cashier, but still a lovely place). Now working for a grocery store chain (Safeway). Been there for over a year (almost a year and a half).
Best of all, I met someone quite special a couple years ago, and now, well, he's my boyfriend :). We became official two days after my 35th birthday back in March. He has to eat gluten-free, but we both like Asian foods, and we found a nice pizza place that has GF pizza (and is super delish-reminds me of a pizza place in my hometown). We're looking at places to live together, and when we find one, it'll be one more year here in CO, then off back east to find somewhere cheaper and greener/more precipitation (he's originally from Kentucky and went to college in Iowa).
Still cooking up a storm when I can. Work keeps me pretty busy these days. Gardening when I can, too. Mostly house plants, but I dream of having that big garden paradise I've always dreamed of, along with a pretty house and a big kitchen.
Me with the BF. He's a doll (and a dork, but aren't all the best guys? ;)

checking in--do you still like your AS Cadet 3?
Comments (12)I installed a AS Cadet 3" about 6 months ago and posted my results somewhere on this site. In summary - I had to go back to HD a few times to get a bowl that wasn't defective (wasn't flat on the bottom or wasn't fully glazed). I have had the toilet installed for about 6 months and have put it through some severe "stress" tests and admit that it has never clogged. Relative to the previous toilet that was installed - I'm impressed. Very strong and efficient flush. Not extra ordinarily noisey. I was impressed enough with the toilet that I replaced the other two in my house with the same AS Cadet 3. So far, I'm very impressed with the toilet. I am still a little concerned about overall quality of the unit based on the initial quality problems I had finding one that wasn't defective. I'm wondering if the unit is going to start developing leaks or parts failing. Only more time will tell. I was initially going to use Toto Drake until the only local dealer quoted me a very high price and long delivery time. At the time the new report came out on toilets that showed the Cadet 3 performing very well relative to the Toto's (you can find it on the internet if you do some searching). I really don't care where the toilet is made as long as its the best unit for the $$$....See MoreIs Hollyh3kids still around??
Comments (2)Hey Thanks for replying. I really like what I have seen of your house from the pictures you have posted on here. I was wondering if you have more pictures and or a floor plan. I think I also read somewhere that you said your house plan was a stock plan from a builder. Could you tell me who built your home?? My email is runner_boy@juno.com if you would prefer to email me. Thanks so much...See MoreI did check the search option but still have ?
Comments (2)The spec sheet is a good start, but measure, measure, measure if there is any doubt. Take a measuring tape to the store and measure the machine and the legs. Then measure the tray and see if it will work. I think there have been issues with Floodsaver and similar valves with Bosch - you may want to check with Bosch. Not to muddy the water, so to speak, but there are reports of leaks (and some foods) coming from the door of FLs. The tray will likely not help here. I NEVER run a machine when I am not home and I turn off the water at the main valve when I go away for more then a day. This, plus checking your hoses and connections regularly is going to provide as much safety as a tray under the machine. I realize you may need the tray for insurance or code reasons. Let us know how the Bosch does in your second-story installation. There have been some vibration problems with Bosch in these installations but you may be fine if you have a strong floor. Good luck with your new machines....See MoreStill some good in this world. check this softball story
Comments (7)That is a nice story but I think it happened because although there are exceptions to every rule, I beleve that on the whole women are nicer beings than men are. I played industrial league softball for 9 years in my 20s & 30s and 3 more after 50 and I can tell you there's NO WAY that would have happened. I could see an opponent helping me off the field if I was injured but never do anything that would alter the score in my favor. They would make you crawl the bases on your hands and knees! I've seen a first baseman grab a little dirt and flip it into a baserunners eyes just as the pitch was being thrown, knowing the (one) umpire wouldn't see it. Sportsmanship? Sadly, it's all but extinct on the men's side....See More

Oh, I forgot to show y'all last year's creation. I didn't wear this one for work, but she was fun :). Does she look familiar? Didn't have to spend much on this one. I had mostly everything save for the glasses.
This is what I wore for work (I actually worked the day before Halloween, but they still allowed me to dress up). I didn't physically make the dress, but I did style the wig and applied my own makeup (a little faded here).
Unsure of what this year's will be. But hopefully something fun and amazing.
Annie, glad you still make my Gram Bertha's lemonade. I haven't made it in a while, but the last batch I made was quite good. I think I did my variation and put an orange into it as well.

Last night's unexpected (wasn't planning on canning anything until I saw cherries were on sale at work) culinary project. I LOVE canning. Have some jam with your toast, muffins, biscuits, or cheesecake, whatever strikes your fancy. ;)
