Oh it's no biggie at all, sally. I just read that first sentence and quickly closed it. :lol:

ETA: Oh, :lovely: nsspense. I'm glad you got to see that movie and enjoyed it. And I'm scared about this cold too. I'll probably have to break out the fireplace!
 
Mmm, got chocolate melt-in-the-middle pudding 😋. It's small, but surprisingly filling :confused: And the sponge is a little... like brownie mix, and sticks to your teeth, which I don't like, but it is yummy.

Right, time to try a little uploading of the test photos I did last night, and then I can format the CF memory card and start playing a bit. I hope.

ETA - :doh: - Nsspense, enjoy the gym, and I hope you don't freeze! I wore my hat yesterday, and could have done with it today (very windy, so even though it was 10C, it felt much colder due to the strong and cold winds).

Most of the time, when I see people refer to Top Chef as TC, I first think of Top Cat, which was a cartoon (did you guys have that? A yellow cat with purple waistcoat?) - just for a millisecond, and then I remember what it really is. Because Top Cat was often referred to by the other cats as "TC" :lol:
 
I do not know of this yellow cat with puple waistcoat, helen. I actually don't really know what a waitcoat is either, not to mention I can't even spell it correctly (i'm typing waitcoast). :lol: I guess like a trench coat?

Okay, I'm feeling better about dinner cuz the place we're going is a place I really like and they have the yummiest cheese fondues! I'm gonna go to Target quickly before hand and see if I can't pick up all the things I need without forgetting anything! See ya later tonight. :bye:

Ah, a waistcoat... (damn you had me typing waistcoast then!) well it covers your back and front chest, no sleeves.

Here's a picture of the whole Top Cat gang.

Here's a better one of Top Cat himself.

And an article about it. Apparently in the UK it was renamed (whether permanently or temporarily, I don't know) "Boss Cat", because at the time (it first aired in the early 1960s), Top Cat was a brand of cat food here.

I'm assuming they changed it back, because the cartoons I watched on TV or video were named Top Cat.

I was right though - it was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon (I didn't say here, but I thought it was), which made me think it was American, and it is - how odd you never saw it! It got reruns here, I remember growing up and seeing it.


ETA - OK I've uploaded photos and played a bit with other settings (black and white), so will call it a night and read the manual tomorrow. I'll try and take some of my 12 of 12 photos on the new camera, but any I take outside of the house will be my old camera (it's too windy and rainy to take the shiny new one out yet). Gonna get warm in bed and maybe read a bit. I felt tired today.

Test of photo - my cuddly Sully (I know the lighting is wrong - I've only got the basic pop up flash and it seemed bright on my viewscreen, so I need to edit it with the software - that requires more time than I have right now though).

Poo, the spoilers don't show with the photo inside, in Preview - I just get no spoiler or photo. Sorry if it comes out a little big then :(

I'll get playing properly over the weekend, and hopefully have some better stuff.

Talula and Mellie - :lol :. He's not a stalker.

So I said "Nothing much, just mooching about the house. And do you realise you've sent me 17 emails today?!?".

Hopefully the ?!? thing will say "Hey, back off a little" but also come across as light, not rude.

Good, that makes me feel better. (y) I hope he takes the hint to lessen the emails. :lol:

I think I could use some advice actually. I want to stay close to downtown. Someplace that won't cost SissyTalula and I 20 bucks to get to the cowboy bars by taxi, ya know? And I know that my family will be sketched out in certain parts that are technically close to downtown. I walked to some McDonalds one day, walking away from downtown and I was even a tiny bit sketched out (and I usually handle those things well, not like the girl from Real World who walked east from downtown Denver like 5 or 6 blocks and came home crying. Please. It's not ANYWHERE NEAR that bad. :lol :smiley:. We tried looking for condos and didn't have that much luck. We found a B&B in a trendy little neighborhood, but it's only 3 rooms so we'd have to rent out the whole house and still not have enough room for everyone (10 people). One of our cousins lives there too so he should be able to help. But we'll definitely want to go shopping!

Ahhh. I see helen. Good to know.

I loved the WestEnd/Vandy area near Hillsboro Village. There are lots of shops and great restaurants around there. My favorite restaurant in Nashville was always The Boundry. :blush: Anyhow, that whole area is about a 5 minute drive from downtown, plus near downtown they've developed two other areas with restaurants, lofts & bars called "The Gulch" & "SoBro" (that's Nashville's way of being NY, it stands for South of Broadway. :lol: ). That area is probably about a 15 minute drive from Opry Mills, a 20 minute drive to Cool Springs Galleria in Franklin, and between a 5-10 minute drive to Green Hills Mall (which is the more high-end mall there). Green Hills is another nice area, but I can't remember how many hotels are in the area. I can refresh my memory when/if you need more or other info. ;)

The movie was pretty good last night! It wasn't as dramatic as the previews made it look, but it was still very emotional.. a lot of the kids in the movie remind me of my own students, but the violence of the school was much worse than mine. My different ethnic groups generally get along, which is nice :lol: But even the classroom number in the movie was the same as one of mine :blink :

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie! :hug:

Have fun! I love cheese fondue. My dinner is penne pasta baked in an alfredo sauce w/ mushrooms & asiago cheese. It only needs a few more minutes unti it's finished. :smiley:

I didn't remember that cartoon until I saw the pictures. :lol:

Okay, going to pull dinner from the oven. Be back in a few!

I know.. I keep worrying that some kid is going to pull the fire alarm during school tomorrow and we'll have to go outside :lol:

Yum! I haven't had fondue in years!
I'm making up some kind of pasta sauce right now :lol:
 
My dad just got the call to be ship off to war. But, he's almost 56 I meant 65 years old and with bad health. I guess they must be that disparate. I'm so glad he isn't going. *whew* My dad was in the Navy.

Oh, tomorrow my mom is going to have the gall bladder surgery. So, a lot of :Prayer:


It's freezing outside :cold: At work I had to wear my winter coat because the heat wasn't running right. 🔨 That's a different cold smiley.
 
Okay, we've been here a little while now, but I still haven't experimented with smileys. I think I shall take the opportunity to do so now.

:abduct:
:eekhair:
:hide:
:jawdrop: :rotfl: I think that's my favorite.

Awww, that missing one is very sad Aimee!

jsf, I got the Christmas card I sent you back in the mail today :blink:

Ok, I'm off to a friend's house for a little while :hi:
 
:lol: Are you having fun, Aimee! I hope I got your name right. :thinking:


The temp keeps dropping. Now it's 5.1 :Pinch. My dogs doesn't like this weather. 🇳🇴


Does anyone know how to put music in their profile at myspace? :thinking:
 
Oh, good. I didn't want my behind kicked. :lol:


Rats... I can't find that background I liked for my profile at myspace. It was purple I think it was with hearts. I just love my purple. ^_^
 
So am I. It's like, "Huh." I just hope they didn't take it down or mess up the site. :thinking: I will be homesick. (n)
