What's everybody doing while DU is down?!1 Am going to *miss* ya!1

Will probably scroll eBay for vintage walking canes.

Or actually, this:

My neighbor surprised me last week, asking me to find something for him on the internet. I thought it was going to be a vehicle part or something like that. He said he had seen a ceramic plate at the flea market that said “Dear son, we never talk about how proud I am of you for what you have accomplished, and I don’t say I love you. I love you. Yours truly, Dad.” He didn’t buy it, then regretted not buying it and went back four times but it was gone. Well, I did my research and couldn’t find that exact message. But I learned that custom things like that can be done at the mall, or similar things can be ordered on the web. But most of all, that this can be done AT HOME with blank ceramic plates from arts & crafts places, with Sharpies and stencils, baked in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and sealed with acrylic spray. When I did all this work he backed out, said his sister does ceramics so never mind. Fine! Just for that I’ll go to the crafts place tomorrow and make a plate of my own saying “Peace be to this house and all who enter here!” That'll show him!1

After that, it just depends on how long DU is out. It's OK. I still got my day job.

I think most people use a different user name than they use here though. I think I'll skip it too and catch up on some Christmas stuff.

I'll be looking for you on the other side! Wear a red carnation in your lapel so I can recognize you!

17. I will make my famous Hungarian Eggs, using only one hand

Dec 2015

and then I will eat some, using only one hand
and then I will help clear the table, using only one hand
and then I might watch some tv, using only one hand
and then I will brush my teeth, using only one hand
and then I will get in bed, using only one hand
and then I will go to sleep...

and I don't quite know the schedule for tomorrow, probably the UU service at 10 am if my husband or daughter drives me, various holiday preparations using only one hand, grocery shopping using only one hand, etc. etc. etc, using only one hand

because the other hand is in a f*cking SPLINT.
