I never post here, but since you are all alone, I thought I would pop in to say "Good morning.  Happy TGIF day".

I've been around for a few years now.  Part of it is that I don't have the time to keep coming back to repost.  I am only here this morning because I took the week off from work.

I had a dream that I was smoking.  I quit almost six months ago but lately when I feel really stressed, I dream I am smoking. 

I love laundromats.  Granted, I don't have to go to them because I have a washer and dryer, but I do love laundromats.  I like that I can take ten loads of laundry and wash and dry them all at one time instead of spending an entire day doing laundry.  I like to people watch while I am waiting.  Once or twice a year I end up going to a laundromat for things that don't fit well in my w/d...like sleeping bags.  I look forward to it.

We have a laundromat in our city that is attached to a bar/restaurant. 

I think Scott should go home.  I have never thought he was really good enough to make it as far as he did.  Neither is Michael.  Adam is by far my favorite.

I didn't like most of them last night.  Three or four did well, but the rest...not so much.

I would eat it...which explains so much

Wisconsin Dells is fun.  Lots of water parks.

I don't have forced air heat, so I'm not sure why you would have uneven heat distribution with it. 

I will say be careful with the space heater usage if you pay your own electric bill.  I used one for a month, at night, one winter and my electric bill went through the roof.

Old building are drafty and expensive to heat.  On the up side, they have character (at least that is what I tell myself when I am writing out the check for heat).

I also have a two story house.  All the bedrooms are upstairs.  My only concern, like someone else mentioned, is as I age and perhaps have mobility issues the stairs may become an issue. 

The only thing I would suggest is to make sure there is a bathroom on each floor.  My house is over 100 years old...back then they didn't seem to see a need for more than one bathroom, which is upstairs.  Because of this, my mil cannot visit us because she can't get up the stairs to the bathroom.

David Cassidy.  My, I'm old.

Hi rainbowmike and schatzigirl.  This site is great and can be very helpful.  Congrats on quitting smoking rainbowmike, I quit 11 weeks ago.  Not easy.

I actually bought the Richard Simmons Deal a Meal Cards...and a couple of his videos.  I have fond memories of Suzanne Somers Thigh Master as well. 

Yellow labs. 

I am going to attempt to donate blood regularly.  I made my first appointment for Friday morning.  I say "attempt" because it depends on whether or not they feel like dealing with my not so cooperative veins on a regular basis.

Other than that, I am going to continue to work on the whole not smoking thing.  It has been 10 weeks and still going strong so hopefully I will be able to continue on that path to better health.

When my kids were young, we had two trees.  The regular tree with all the presents and a small table top "scrooge" tree.  The scrooge tree had little wrapped cheap "gifts".  Usually $1 things like a box of chocolate covered cherries, box of thin mints, etc.  I would try to have at least 12 things per child under this tree.  Each night before Christmas (for however many nights there were gifts) the kids would get to open a scrooge gift.  This helped eliminate the "Can we just open one present early" problem.  Sometimes I think they enjoyed the scrooge gifts more than the regular ones. 

Now my kids are grown and it is just hubby and I at home.  I no longer have the scrooge tree.  I really miss it.
