Congrats to BK!

I am having real issues with both a sibling and a casual acquaintance.  Sibling:  completely non-involved in either my or my kids' lives (not even birthday cards), and out of the blue makes a patently transparent "reach out " call asking how many brothers Betsy has.  If she had reached out with an apology for ignoring my kids since they were born, I might feel differently.  This is especially irksome since I basically helped raise her kids when she was going through an ugly divorce.

Acquaintance:  someone who has had absolutely no compunction asking me for "favors" (several times in fact) that would help their projects/careers, etc.  When I asked the same in return (and in fact not even for me personally, just for someone I know), absolutely no response.  Guess what *my* response will be the next time this person needs something from me? 

RE: the sibling is it possible she is trying to make peace?  I would let her and maybe try to explain how you are feeling.

re: the acquaintance, i would wait till the next time they ask for a favor and remind them that you asked them for one. And see what they say!

I was gonna wish jane vibes. But was it for the visit you already had today? Or is there something else tomorrow?

The chicken pot pie actually turned out really good. It was from the Kraft magazine.

You put 1 can of cream of something soup, 3 cups frozen veggies, 2 cups shredded cheese, and 2-3 cups cooked chicken cubbed.

You mix that together and then break apart those pilsbury crescents and bake it on top for like 25 minutes on 375F (brush a beaten egg on it to get it brown).

It was surprisingly delicious.

[Jane]

thanks jennifer.  today was physical therapy, tomorrow is the surgeon & new x-rays to see if my breaks have healed.

[Ginny]

Congratulations on finishing the book, BK!

Well they said cream of chicken. But i used cream of mushroom. I think whatever you have in the cupboard would be fine!

[Jrand73]

You finished your book! Congratulations!

Happy Birthday DR EDI!!!!!!

Someone apparently spent some money to pull a prank on me.  Last week I started receiving my new subsription to BRIDE MAGAZINE.

The magazine agreed to cancel the subsciption, but refused to tell me who or where the order came from.

What kind of frozen veggies?

[Jrand73]

I remember the interrobang - but the code didn't work for me,

Off to watch a new MODERN FAMILY

[TCB]

That is what I got with that code.

I went over the notes I'd written - things I thought should be in the book.  I'd actually done 98% of them, which is pretty amazing.  But I had left out a key story, so I went and added that - it added two pages to the book.  And I may add one or two other little things, but the couple of things I left out seemed unimportant now.

I already gave you the ASCII code.  Alt + 8253 in any font will work.

[Jane]

I used to love chicken pot pie.  I think it was Broadway (which is long gone) Dept. Store in Century City that had a fountain style food counter & served a suburb chicken pot pie.  they also made a great orange float type drink.  i used to make them at home too, orange sherbet & milk topped with soda water.  the last time i could get one of these was at a deli in michigan, about 20 years ago.

hmmm, does that person get a refund?  did you laugh at the joke?

i have no idea what that means

Oy, vey, I've typed it twice for you.    Open a Word document.  Hold down your Alt key and then type 8253 (using the 10 key pad with NumLock on).  You should get an interrobang.

[Jane]

lol, i don't know what  ASCII stands for.  i did the rest, except i didn't use the 10 key pad.  i always use the numbers at the top of the keyboard, not the ones at the side.  i'll try that.

Not really.  The damn magazine is so thick (like a phonebook) that putting it in my mailbox completely mangled three other pieces of mail.

Also, they said I would have to handle getting a refund from the company that I ordered it.

[Jane]

I did it!   I had to type with two hands to accomplish it, something I could not have done all that long ago.  I'm still typing two handed, for the moment.

[Jane]

TCB I find it hard to imagine someone wouldn't inquire if it is a gag.  Are you sure it was for you?  I thought gift subscriptions usually included a gift card.

It has my name and address on the label.  They apparently didn't say it was a gift, but just ordered it in my name and paid for it.
