Hi Adele,
You mean to say there’s a man on this planet that doesn’t eat pizza?? Seriously? I thought everybody ate pizza at least once. all I can say is WOW!! LOL
The snow we’re supposed to get will only be a trace if that much. There are patches of snow left, but the roads are pretty clear except in the higher elevations. It’s just the really cold temps that get to me. They say rain is on the way & that will “warm” it up to the 40s.
I did see the Quacker show yesterday. I’m not a big fan of Jane Brown. Lots of things I’d love to get but I gotta pay off my easy pays for now.
I think I saw Halloweenfetti a few months ago, after (!) Halloween. I’ll check it out to make sure. Has she ever made anything with turkeys? I don’t think I’ve ever seen any. It looks like there’s a new set of bowls coming up on Sunday. All the new stuff seems to be flying out the door when she brings it on.

Every day we learn something new about the Fl. shooting. Now they say the guard assigned to the school stood outside the school while the shooting was going on. He was a 30 yr deputy sheriff!!! I could understand someone inexperienced freezing up, but a deputy sheriff.??!! I didn’t hear anything about the questions being scripted. I saw one young man go after Marco Rubio about not accepting $$ from the NRA & Rubio refused to answer. He kept at him but Rubio wouldn’t answer. I guess that means he won’t stop taking $$ from the NRA. I didn’t catch all of it. I was hoping somebody would listen to the kids but I guess not. I thought Congress, & the politicians had met their match but I guess not. I don’t know what it’s gonna take.
by the way I had no trouble understanding your recipe for the rolls.
have a great weekend
stay safe

Hi Ladies,
Colleen, I feel so stupid thinking you meant those cups & saucers. Silly me. Yes those green dishes, shamrock design, are from Temptations. Every time she brings those seasonal designs they always sell out in the blink of an eye. Especially this time of yr. Egg Hunt is one that goes quick. Sending prayers for your nephew, & bil. I hope they’re doing well.
Well, you’re not gonna believe this but we’re getting more snow tonight into tomorrow. It isn’t supposed to stick but I’m fed up with it. I’m getting cabin fever. I haven’t been able to get out to the store. We just had the coldest temps of the yr so far. It got down into the 20s here & lower in other areas. Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!! The only good thing about all this snow is that the mts are getting feet of snow, so the ski resorts are happy. I thought it was supposed to warm up by now, but no. If that cold air hit my lungs I’d be a goner. It’s a good thing Kay hasn’t come home yet. If it hit her lungs it’d be all over for her.
Well, it’s getting on to dinner time so I’ll sign off for now.
Have a great weekend everyone

Hi Ladies,
I went back to the qvc website & found what I clicked onto. Go to the website, scroll down to the bottom of the page. There’s a list & you click on Feedback. A box will pop up & I had to expand it to fill up the screen. Just follow the instructions & fill out the box with your complaints, etc. then send it on.
When I was a caregiver for the elderly ladies, it was interesting to hear their stories cuz most of them lived thru the Great Depression, & several decades, so they saw a lot of changes.
Adele, I was able to figure out your recipe for the cinnamon rolls. That’s a man for ya. I’ll just write it down on paper & go from there.
Kay won’t be coming home any time soon. She called me today & said she has now developed a fever. Not good.
Well, that’s all for now

Hi Ladies,
I wrote an email to QVC about how I don’t like the new format & within hours I received an answer from Customer Care rep saying my email was being forwarded to the appropriate people. You have to give your email address. You have to scroll down to the bottom of the website to find the site to write to.
If I could I would forward the email I got so you could read it. I was surprised to see I got the reply so quick. So maybe if enough people write in & complain maybe they’ll fix it. We can only hope!!!
Colleen, no those cups aren’t Temptations. they’re antiques. I found this website on FB, Brenda’s Antiques, & Finds, & she posts her finds of antiques, cups & saucers, vases, tea pots, & sets of pots & cups & saucers, china dinnerware, gorgeous stuff. I just love looking at the gorgeous things she finds.
Adele, thank you for your recipe for the cinnamon rolls. Using the already made dough makes it so much easier!!! I’m not good at making homemade dough anymore. I used to make my own bread yrs ago but not anymore. I loved the smell of the bread baking. any recipes you wanna send my way are appreciated!!!!
I’ve been watching some of the Olympics just because there’s nothing else on. I think the other networks are showing repeats as to not conflict with the Olympics. I see Designated Survivor is returning next week.
Gail, what are pierogis? I think they may have had them on the q but I forget what they are. Are they good?
We’re still not out of the woods with the snow yet. There’s another system coming our way later tonight or tomorrow morning. 1-3 inches of snow on top of what we have now. After that it starts warming up & a little bit, no more snow down here tho. I hope!!!

Well, that’s all for today.
stay well

Hi Adele,
In answer to your last question, YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!! I went to it last night to enter the $100,000 contest & I thought I went to the wrong website. I don’t like it at all!! I couldn’t get to my account & I liked it when it said, Hello Dianne, & I could click on it & go straight to my account, etc. I couldn’t find the category list either.
Well, guess what I woke up to this morning?? If you guessed snow you’d be right. It was coming down in white buckets. It’s let up some this afternoon but there’s a lot more on the way they say. the National Weather Service has upgraded us from winter weather advisory to winter weather warning for later today thru tonight. They say anywhere from 3-7 inches of snow could be on the valley floor by morning. that other pathetic one was just the beginning. It’s unusual for us to get snow this low this late in Feb.
Have you seen the preview of the pot stickers TSV for Wed.? they have 4 flavors this time. they’ve added beef now. I’d like to try em as I’ve never ate pot stickers before. Have you ever had them or have you tried Davio’s meatballs? I have them of pre order. I’ve tried Mama Mancini’s before & they were delish. I’d like to try the ones stuffed with mozzarella.
What kind of dolls do you collect? Barbie dolls, cabbage patch dolls? My mom wouldn’t allow a Barbie doll in the house. I got other dolls, baby dolls, bridal dolls, I don’t know whatever became of them. They’d probably be worth $$$ nowadays.
I’m gonna make mac & cheese tonight. I shred my cheese mix it altogether & bake it. I don’t use those horrible box things.
Are you baking anything good? I have to say everything is delish I’m sure. I’d hop on my broom to get some of those cinnamon rolls. My grandma made the best cinnamon rolls, fluffiest baking powder biscuits that almost floated off the pan. Mine would put a dent in a cement floor!!!
Well, that’s about it for now.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
Adele I agree our snow is pathetic. but we’re in for some more tomorrow & maybe again Thurs. or Friday, then it warms up. As long as the snow stays up in the mts where it belongs.
You’re right about this killing has got to STOP!! Even tho we’re not directly involved, it takes a toll on all of us. I can’t imagine the grief those parents are feeling!! Unimaginable!!!
When I feel like I can’t take any more of the news I put on a DVD of I Love Lucy or Andy & Barney. They pull me out of the dole drums. I think I know the movie you’re talking about but I can’t think of the name of it. Michael Caine was in a spoof on Sherlock Holmes several yrs ago. He can be soo funny. The one I’m talking about is Without a Clue. Ben Kingsley stars as Watson & he hires Michael to impersonate Holmes.
Well I guess that’s all for tonight.

Let me try again. It didn’t work the first time. Nothing to write home about, lol

Hi Ladies,
It’s been awhile since I was on here, so I had to sign in again. I guess when you don’t get on here after awhile it logs you off. No biggie anymore since I figured it out.
Well, our big news is we got snow over the weekend. They kept saying it was coming, maybe, if everything comes together. It wasn’t anything like Jan. 2017 tho. It was a dusting more than anything, but it’s still cold!!! the good thing is the mts got a couple of feet. the ski resorts had to shut down Sat. due to the winds were so bad the ski lifts couldn’t run. But Sun the wind died down & people headed up there. They can have it. You guys are probably rolling your eyes at our freaking out over a dusting. they roll up the roads & sidewalks if they see a snow flake, lol!!! Because today is a school holiday it came at a good time. But they say we could see more of it Thurs.
Barbara, I’m so glad to hear Neal is calling you & skyping with the baby. How old is Colin now? Is he walking yet? that’s wonderful. You haven’t done anything wrong so try not to worry about it. It sounds like it’s coming from her, not you.

You would think that after Sandy Hook, something would’ve been done about the gun situation. How many massacres do we have to go thru before they do something!!!! NO ONE “needs” an assault rifle unless they’re in the military. My dad was a hunter & he kept his rifles, shotgun, in the closet, & if we went near them we’d get our butts blistered. We didn’t dare go near them. He didn’t have hand guns of any kind.
My mom died & I didn’t go out & shoot innocent people just because I lost her. All these excuses have got to STOP!!! I was raised in an abusive home, & again, I didn’t kill innocent people.

I don’t blame any of you for wanting to put out your spring décor!!! I already have my artificial flowers out & I’m putting out my Easter décor as it’s gonna be here before ya know it. I think it’s the first weekend of April this yr. (don’t hold me to that). It always makes me happy to see the flowers even if they’re not real. I’d prefer real ones, but there’s no place where I could keep them.
Kay called me Friday & told me she wasn’t coming home till Tues. Her blood work is still outta whack for some reason & the Dr. wanted to keep her till they look better. I haven’t heard back from her since.
I haven’t said this before, & I can hear you laughing your butts off already. I have never had potato soup. Is it tasty, pasty or what?
I’m gonna try to send pics of the dusting we got. unimpressive to say the least.
Have a good week.

Colleen, did you know Cheryl’s cookies had a sugar free offering on the Q? They looked really good. They weren’t on today, but ya might want to check it out.

Hi Ladies,
When is this Madness(!) gonna end??!!! IT’S GOT TO STOOOOOPP!!! Sorry, I had to get that off my chest!!!

That aside I hope all of you had a wonderful Valentine’s day. The strangest thing has been happening to me today/tonight. so far I’ve received 17 (!) reminders from QVC about the schedule change of QF shows. I’ve never gotten that many before!!! Somebody must’ve hit the wrong key somewhere.
Adele, you NEED to get to a DR ASAP!!! It sounds like the flu. If you get a fever over 100 that’s not a low grade fever. It would be better safe than sorry.

Remember I said I thought we were out of danger from getting snow this late? Well, guess what!! Some local areas woke up to a light dusting of SNOW on the ground this morning!!! And we could get more Sunday. The weather guys aren’t predicting it for sure yet. It’s a game of wait & see right now. We’re getting an Arctic blast over the weekend, but question is will we have enough moisture for snow. I do remember we had snow in Feb. in the late 80s. I wasn’t living up here back then, I was further south from here.
Well, that’s all I have for tonight.
And yes Adele, I’m a bossy old lady!! Just so ya know. LOL
