Mae everybody, thanks for the kickoff PQ, hey come clean my oven hahaha! I don't think I've cleaned it since I bought it a few years back, I hate cleaning wish I was one of those "oh cleaning helps me stay calm" or "cleaning gives me energy" nope cleaning stresses me out! Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday back later

[Samstone]

how do all,
rainy day here but not cold. good day for snoozing. The wife has had 2 bouts of flu, and she deservedly is sleeping away.

PQ, that must have been a very dirty oven! Usually before Xmas we do a total house clean, this year we're just half way through because of all the fluness. (autocorrect doesn't like me)
Pauly, you, zen, and cleaning, be one with the broom!!

out to feed, hope3 everyone enjoys their day

Evening all..well that's it job done home Tomorrow..roll on the next one!!��hope all are well. Ppqp...I hate to tell you this but when I clean a cooker..I strip it out completely and clean it. I find it therapeutic..yep lmao nutso..but from grease to shiny shiny its ace.that goes back to when I was in quarters in the army. Before you moved or marched out everything and I mean everything was checked..the cooker and oven were white gloved.if anything showed up you were presented with a cleaning bill!!! 28 degrees here today...6 back home tomorrow

Good evening Abbers,

Rain here as well but it’s not super cold.
My younger grandson decided to join us for dinner, now he’s playing Roblox on my laptop. I think that’s the real reason he wanted to come over, haha!!

Mick, wishing you a safe journey home!!!

Sam, sorry you guys are still dealing with flu, ugh! YB got it too last week despite having the flu vaccine. We got him on Tamiflu right away & it worked like a miracle. Hope you’re all better soon!!

PQ & Pauly - you girls need self cleaning ovens. I have 2 of them in my kitchen & I wouldn’t do without anymore. Puts a hit on your electric bill but it’s worth your time & sanity!!!!

Hello to Cyn & Det, hope you are both well.

Have a nice night everyone!

Just leaving for the airport now

Mae everybody, safe travels Mick Sam, sorry you two have been sick for so long-just awful! Healing vibes sent your way, Lav, glad you got to spend time with your grandson, sometimes that one on one is really nice PQ, I'll bet it feels nice to have a fresh start with a clean oven for the new year, started on my bedroom closet and I can see the floor again after having Christmas presents stacked in there for so long yay! Also found a wrapped one for Lou he'll be excited(although it feels like clothes so maybe not)Cyn hope all is well with you and your family when/where is it you're thinking of relocating to? Waves to Det, much love to all and wishes for a great BF Monday for us all!

MAE ALL...

Pauly...I think I'll pass on the oven cleaning. I do feel like I've accomplished a major tasks when it's done though. My coworker is one of those "cleaning helps me think" She can spend an hour dusting her desk! My attitude...if I don't do it at home I'm not doing it at work! That's the cleaning staff's job.

Sam...hope everyone is on the mend, you sure got hit with it. Yes, it was a very dirty oven. My stove is 20 years old. I'm surprised it still works. I can't get the door off so have to bend over to get to the back of it. And with the fumes it takes a lot out of me. So I do it in stages. Picture it all in little boxes and just tackle one at a time. Something I learned from Mick. LOL

Mick...I had no doubt about your oven cleaning regime. LOL Hope you're prepared for the climate change and that you have a safe trip home. Seems like you left only yesterday.

Lav...not going to comment on the weather as I don't want to jinx it. LOL TWO self cleaning ovens, boy are you spoiled. LOL Actually I'd gladly clean an oven if I could have a dishwasher! I have never had one. Any reason to have your grandson works for me.

Det...I'm waving along with Pauly.

I like this 12 days of Christmas as I'm off all this week. Have a great Monday all...PPQP

Mae all -

We’ve been on the road again... left yesterday morning at 7:00 AM to: go to our old town and drop off the dog for an overnight stay, then see many dear friends around where we used to live, then up further north to help the friends that are moving, then to dinner and overnight with other friends who live on a lake on the middle of nowhere. All was going OK until an ice storm moved in and prevented us from leaving this morning... we actually slid backwards on a gravel road! Fortunately got turned around and went back to our host’s, who called a road guy who came and dropped sand. We then had a hair raising but OK trip back to get the dog and get home. (Kinda sleepy now. And PS, my oven needs cleaning too!)

Mick, hope your travels were OK. Lav, soup, yum. And thx for the info! Pauly, good that you found that present ! PPQ, good job on the oven!! Sam, sending healing wishes to your homestead! Det, hope all is well —

Cheers -

[Lavande]

Greetings friends,

Got to have lunch with 2 old ladies today, haha! We all went to high school together (but technically I was the youngest)
Had rain all day but not too awfully cold. Looks like sun until Friday, that’s OK with me.

Mick, hope your trip home was easy!

Pauly, rewrap the shirt or whatever in non-Christmas wrapping, Louie will love getting a gift a week after Christmas.

PQ, glad you are enjoying your week
I don’t even know if you can buy non-self cleaning ovens anymore - at least around here. Appliances don’t hold up the way they used to in the old days. The wall oven & microwave unit has already been replaced since we built the house. The stove is a Jenn-Air with a convection oven - looks like hell at this point but still works, haha!!!
I hope we both have a lovely weather week!!

Cyn, geez you have quite an adventure! I do not like doing anything on ice, ugh!! Glad you got home safely.
Hope your knee is doing a bit better, take care

Sam, are you guys all better now? Hope so!

Det, are you having fun as usual??

Have a nice night everyone. I have zero plans for the rest of the week so well see what happens.
Have a nice night all!

Lav
