Hey Gailster
By now you know, the Fishie has left us. I will use that idea, should the remaining boring fish start to act weird. Thanks for the tip- never heard of that before. I wonder why they need the salt.
I have not received the Gronk poster. I think the Broncos bought all of them to do a Voodoo curse. This house is in mourning, for Fishie and the Patriots. Gary refused to see the awarding of the trophy. I am betting the offending kicker may no longer be a Patriot next year.
We are all glad the storm missed getting us bad- we got about 6 inches.
You should see Hetaher today. The bruising is around her left eye, and now there is some on the side of her jaw line- around her mouth. She looks like she was in a car accident. she is blaming the frame of her glasses for all the bruising. I told her she may have been lucky the frame took the brunt of it, as she could have had a bad concussion from what she looks like. She has on work boots today. She has to make that appointment with the nose specialist. She does seem to be breathing ok. When she lays down to sleep, is when it hurts more, not while sitting up. Weird.
I broke my ankle putting away a Fisher Price riding toy for Bobby once. Slipped, my foot hit the toy, and crack is all I heard. I re-broke it, taking out the garbage a year later- another slip and fall. I had on platform shoes….LOL remember those from the 70’s?.
the bread was a rye, with caraway seeds. They loved it.
I did not see that cake on the Chew. But, I agree. It is hard to get the recipe you want on there. Not a great website for that. I have tried looking by the guest host too. I even got out of it, and then Googled recipes from the Chew.
it is cold here today, and supposed to get warmer, than a storm is coming over the weekend. Hope it does not get as bad as last year!
how is Greg feeling?
hope your foot is not giving you more trouble, now that it is winter.

POS….Bobby’s mac and cheese was good- he added bacon.Obituary for Fishie
1/24/16Fishie was a good fish, who led a quiet and splashy life. He was the friendlies fish on the planet. Orange in color, he was the Golden Globe for brightest shiny Fish. Although not white, he was nominated for his great personality at the upcoming Oscars, and a fan favorite.
Fishie fought a valiant battle with what appeared to be some kind of erratic fish disease. He lasted for two days, and must have decided not to die on his owner’s birthday, the 22ond of January.
Fishie is missed by his Fish friend in the opposite bowl, who has been staying near the edge of where Fishie lived, obviously wondering what happened to his counterpart.
Fishie was laid to rest last night, by his owner, and friend. As flushing his delicate carcass down the toilet, or putting him into the garbage disposal seemed to cruel to entertain, he lovingly wrapped in the plant that was his final resting place in his bowl, gently placed into tin foil, and placed into a Zip lock bag. He was entered into the trash can, for his final resting place.
Fishie is mourned by his owner, Adele. Also mourning the loss is Gary, Tillie. Not quite sure if he is mourned by Bobby, who felt he should have been flushed.
A brief tear was shed, as he was laid to rest, and his bowl was disinfected, should he ever return.
Please join us in saying a prayer for Fishie, who was with us for 1 1/2 years. Amen.Hi Colleen
the bread was a hit, so that one is a keeper. It rises twice. First, it goes in a covered plastic tub, I got form King Arthur to double in size. Then, you shape it into a loaf, cover it with Saran Wrap, and it rises again. Then, with this bread, I have to spray with water, and make an incision in the top- like the lines you see on top of the bread you buy. Then it bakes. It is really simple. even though it doe snot sound it.
What is a chicken ring?
We ended up with about 6 inches. Amanda called me, when she got home form work last night at 10pm. Thank God I did not know she was working so late. She said it was awful coming from Boston last night, the roads were a mess. I am so grateful she got home safely. If I knew she was that late, I would have eaten all the rest of the chocolate in this house…..LOL
My fish is still alive. I just don’t know what to do. I do not want it to suffer. It is in the bowl, with it’s nose out of the water, in a straight up and down position. Every once in a while, it jerks, and swims, and then ends up either on the bottom of the tank, or in that weird position. I do not know if he is going to die, or get better. Right now, he is in the plant in the tank, resting. he is not eating anything.
that was a funny story about your grandson and his fish. The poor kid!
Bobby will make dinner during half time of the game. I will be doing the cookies, shortly.
hope you are having a good dya,a nd that the roads become clear enough for you to visit with Danyielle and the baby.
Adelehi GAil
I just looked out and the snow has begun to fall. We are getting the wind, and only 4 inches, so we are good.
the Patriots are in Mass- they actually play in Foxboro, very close to where my SIL lives. I LOVE the Gronk. he has so much personality. this is a funny for you. So on the news the other night, they were, of course, talking about the Patriots, and then featured Gronk , naked, with his naughty bits covered by something, on the front of some athletic type magazine. So, I turned to Gary, and said, “Do I get a poster of Gronk like that for my birthday?” Naturally, as Gary has yet to purchase his sense of humor form Walmart, he did not laugh. I did. Laughed so hard, I had to blow my nose after.
I do like Peyton Manning. he is a good guy too.
Read my post to Colleen about my poor fishie. I think I will be having a funeral today.
We got our fish last night, and Tillie was thrilled. So far, I have had 2 pieces of the Carvel cake….LOL Going for the 3rd today.
Piper is so entertaining. You could post a video of her on that You tube thing, and she would be famous. I am glad they are all better. So hard to see them be sick. Makes you sad.
Did I tell you Hetaher fell on the ice, and because she had her glasses on, they went into the bridge of her nose, and she broke it? Broke her good glasses too. You should see what she looks like- all bruised on the bridge, and around the outside of her eyes. She went to the ER, and they are referring her to a nose doctor, to make sure the bones are healing right, so she will not have issues later. She had a ponding headache, when she laid down to sleep, it was worst. She has prescription Motrin, which is making the swelling and headache go away. I yelled at her for the dam boots she wears- those cute up to the knee ones, which have no traction. Told her I do not want to see them on her feet, until all the snow is gone. Everyone has been laughing at her face.
Hope your day is going well!
Adelehi Barbara
thank you for the birthday wishes. Thank you for sending the blizzard up too…..LOL We are lucky, we are on the north fringe of it, and getting only 4 inches, but with a lot of high winds.
Read my post to Colleen about my poor fishie. He looks like he is on his last fin. I may need to bury him, and you cannot go out there today.
I am glad your weather is getting better- we were all worried about you, and Jerry, going back and forth in all that ice. You are so right, when our husbands act kindly to someone, they look extra good to us. So good that his Mom is doing better. Also good he did not have to go out in the ice to get Sarah.
Your DIL must bet getting to the 3 month mark, when the morning sickness gets better. That is a huge milestone for a pregnancy. they will feel good, until the last month, as we all know. I bet you are on line shopping away for the first Itty Bitty in your family. This is such an exciting time.
OMG- that is so funny. Popcorn and ice cream for dinner. Are you sure Jerry is not pregnant???? LOL
Hope your weather is better, and you send that up here, quick!
I Have to go and form the bread for it’s second rising……
AdeleHi Colleen
We are getting a lot of high winds, and only 4 inches of snow. further south of us is a blizzard- it has been all over the news. The southern part of Mass is getting clobbered, later today, into tonight.
I have the rye bread rising for it’s first rising. this is the first time with this one, so we will see how it comes out. I hope they like it, because I had to buy 3 more ingredients for it- caraway seeds, rye flour, and a King Arthur rye/pumpernickel enhancer. bobby is getting his new speakers installed that he got for Christmas, and when he gets back, he will get the corned beef.
It is so dark and gloomy here- with the wind blowing the trees all around.
I think one of my fishies is dying. The friendly one, who come sot the top, and stays there, until I pat him. He is a funny, Beta fish. The other one, is boring, and swims away, if I touch him. They are in 2 separate little bowls, because they would kill each other of they are together. Funny fishie was not moving at all, fell to the bottom, and leaned on the plant, and did not come up for his food. I tapped his bowl, and still nothing. Gary went over later, and tapped d harder, and he moved. he is in the bowl pointing straight up, and not moving. Every once n a while, he will move. It does not look right. They are the fish I got when Enzo graduated from high school- they were the centerpieces. They will be 2 this summer. or not.
the boys do not fight yet, because there is too much difference in their ages, I think. JJ is 9 1/2 and Aizen is just 2. Maybe when Aizen gets bigger it will start. I know the girls fight….LOL
Gary got us the fish last night, after the CAT scan, and we had a piece of the carvel cake. Bobby is making the mac/cheese tomorrow….yum, yum.
The fruit we get is real sour. the strawberries were so bad, I had to dunk them in sugar. Kind of defeats the point of fruit. Apples are always good, but I do not want one every day. I will check the flyer to see what fruit is on special for this week, and hope it tastes good. usually the grapes are ok, but Gary would not eat them a couple of weeks ago, because he felt they were not sweet enough!!! I love all the fruit in summer.
Hope you get to see the baby and Danyielle this weekend. I love to hold them, and out them to sleep. they are so cuddly.
Hope the weather is better out there.
Adelehi colleen
‘I did not see any post from Sue- where is it?
Gary is at the take out now, getting us the fish for tonight. He already got the Carvel cake.
I hope your daughter and the baby are settling in. I know what you mean about waiting for her to call, so their sleep is not disturbed. So hard when you live further away. I bet you are dying to get over there to snuggle the Itty Bitty!
I cannot believe you are all still having ice. We are to get about 3 inches ( as of a few minutes ago) total tomorrow, but, they are still saying it can move. The blizzard part will be a few states lower than us. I hope the ice stops, so you are not trapped in the house, and the kids can get back to school. It got very gloomy here a while ago, and already looks like snow. It is not supposed to start until tomorrow afternoon.
Tillie was thrilled to see the boys. They will come over next week too. Maybe Wednesday, if I can go get them, and there is no ice/snow.
They check GAry’s kidneys with the CAT scan, to make sure the remaining stones do not move. he will get the results next week.
What is up with the green bean shortage???/ Cauliflower has gone through the roof on pricing. I guess we should just eat Hostess cupcakes….LOL
We are the 2 66 girls, and Gail is our senior sister….LOL LOL
have a good night!
AdeleHi Gail
Feeding Gary is like feeding a 2 year old. I have to hide the ingredients, and lie all the time. Maybe liking clams is a thing with food issues. I think they taste gross. Get this- he loves the Jewish sour pickles, and says he hates garlic. I almost gagged trying the pickle. Talk about garlic!!!! Speaking of that, the ingredients I bought for the rye/pumpernickel bread came, and I am going to try it tomorrow. Gary will get the corned beef, before it starts to snow.
We are not getting much, unless they change the forecast again. First it was a blizzard, then a trace, then an inch, now it is 2 to 4 for us, at the most. So, we are lucking out on this one. I think the cookies cost more than the gas….LOL
Can you imagine, I am now 66? Tillie cried this morning, when she sang to me. I said, “why are you crying, because you are old enough to have a daughter who is 66?” That made her laugh. I would bet she was wondering if she will be here for my next one. God bless her, at 89, I would be thinking the same thing.
So, I tell Heather today I do not want a party, a nd she says I will not get away with that one. She is on her way over for tea. Gary is out getting the Carvel cake- my favorite. Bobby promised to make his mac and cheese this weekend for me- my favorite. he will be snow blowing, and I will do the cookies, of course.
Good God- that man has to see his doctor, before he ruins his joints all the way up to his shoulder. Will he go????? Another person to add to the prayer list.
Hope your weather is good for the weekend- go Pats!!!1 Who are you rooting for?
AdeleGail and Barbara
Very well said, Gailster. Totally agree.
I tried to answer Barbara’s feelings with the humor in my life to let her know she is not alone in all of this, and we are all here to listen. I use humor to get through the most difficult things in my life. I remember one day, when Gary was real sick, and in a wheelchair, Hetaher came over and asked me what I was going to say was the good part to that day. I do not remember my answer, but some days it is a reach to see the good in a situation.
Being a MIL is hard. Especially if you are known for being a strong woman, who your family respects. Maybe they feel they need to have that same strength, and not realize it comes from years of struggles. You just do not get that when you are first married, and they may feel “less than”, even though we do not judge. Who knows. We do the best we can, and then stand, as that old saying says. “Do all you can, and then stand”.
I hope your day is going well. Also hope your DIL is feeling better, and the pregnancy is going well. When she becomes a Mom, you may become a lot closer. Your son is right. You have done all you can. You are a good Mom, MIL, and will be a great Nana. I cannot wait until you describe how you feel when you hold your Itty Bitty for the first time. Bring your Kleenex.
Love all you guys!
Lunch with my buddy, Nancy was great, and Tillie has my leftovers. All is right with the world, for now.
