DR elmore3003, since you've already taken delivery of your new leather jacket, I guess it's too late for you to buy this suit made entirely of peanuts.

[ChasSmith]

Good Lord, DR Elmore, what a start to a Sunday morning. I'm glad the unemployment RE-app worked out. Why in the HELL did they drop that on everybody?

[KevinH]

Good morning!

In The Dangers of Storing Stuff in the Oven department...

The other night, I removed everything stored in the oven to pre-heat for a frozen pizza.  Only, when I went to put the pizza in, I found I had forgotten about a Calphalon stock pot that had been hiding out in the way back. Alarmed, I went to remove the pot immediately, forgetting that as the oven had pre-heated to 400, that pot would be HOT. I mean, I did have the presence of mind to use pot holders, but still...

I realized my mistake milliseconds later, and set the hot pot down on the nearest available item, which was the padded rug on the kitchen floor. Being made of cheap synthetic fiber, it immediately congealed to the bottom of the pot. What a dunce!

I thought the pot was ruined forever, but this morning the DH did some magic with a razor blade, and now the pot is like new.

It's a Christmas miracle!

Have they pulled this on you?

No. This morning they only had a notice up about the extension that's about to kick in, and telling us to keep entering our weekly claims.

[elmore3003]

So, since I logged onto the NY Dept of Labor site, Stella has gone back to the toilet paper again and I have another mess to clean up.  The current problem is, I cannot find the remains of the actual toll so it will come back to bite my ass. 

[elmore3003]

Then I got an email from the NY Dept of Labor: you have a message in your mailbox.

OK, only once again I cannot log onto their site.  What utter bullshit!

[Jane]

Thank you DR George.

[Jane]

DR TCB how many days is the inhaler good for?  OUCH on the price.  Vibes you can eventually get one that is less expensive.

[Jane]

I want my hour back.

I am not sure I can tell the difference.  I woke up at 2:00 and realize the time was changing to 3:00.  I never fell back to sleep.

[Jane]

~~~FEEL BETTER SOON VIBES~~~ for Freyja!

Thank you.

[Jane]

Back down to 18° on the Fahrenheit scale tonight.

I guess I shouldn't complain our temps are dropping.

[Jane]

I am trying to secure vaccine appointments for my mother and aunt in New Jersey. They are both over 80 and have been unable to secure appointments. And in a few more days, a whole new class of folks will become eligible.

Vibes you succeed!

[Jane]

Vibes for Freyja!

Thanks.

Oh no!  I am glad your pot was saved.  I guess you need a new rug.

[ChasSmith]

This happened over twenty years ago, but I, too, learned the lesson of the synthetic fiber kitchen rug.

I think we had the oven pre-heating for whatever we were cooking. Maybe it was a turkey, because we suddenly remembered we hadn't taken out a rack or two to make room for it. So we pulled the rack out of the hot oven and instead of, say, putting it outside to cool, we rested a corner of it for a moment on that rug. For whatever reason.

Instant melting of the fibers occurred. I don't remember it sticking to the rack, but that rug thereafter had "grill marks" on it till finally we couldn't stand the sight of it and out it went.

[ChasSmith]

At any rate, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[John G.]

Let’s try this again.

[John G.]

I’m up again and it’s almost noon.

[elmore3003]

I finally saw the message from the Dept of Labor: they need to review my case before I can begin filing claims again. WTF?

[singdaw]

Oh no, DR elmore3003!     

[singdaw]

Back from another lovely walk.  Brisker and windier today, though.

We're supposed to get more snow tonight.

[singdaw]

Let's move on...
