Major warning on that link... quite a few photos of 900+lb people.. I'm just warning you.

You have been warned.

Oh .. and welcome!

Hello Kaf! I wonder if everyone is still in a turkey dinner induced coma?

I'm so glad it's Friday. Saturday, in your case. Cheers for the weekend!

[Jeff Meyerson]

So is this it? We moved? That was quick.

Then let me repeat: Happy Birthday Bangi!!!

And for some of the rest of us (nudge nudge wink wink), it's National Parfait Day.

And it's cold! Not by Winterpeg standards (hi Peri!) but 22 degrees and a wind chill of 7 is too cold for November in NY. They are predicting 50 by Sunday and 60 by Tuesday, however.

And Peri, thanks for recommending A Million Little Pieces, which I'm reading.

Hi Jeff! According to the weather channel here in Winterpeg it's -9C (15F) with a windchill. Brrrrr.

I put my Xmas tree up yesterday. This morning most of the bottom branches are bare and I am finding xmas ornaments all over the house. Anyone want a cat?

[Leetie]

Now that I've gloated the heck out of the last Moat, let me offer my sincerest condolences to Neo, who lost her cat, Shadow, yesterday.

((((((Neo))))))

Leetie, I LOVE the dulcimer. And because 'm a dummy and didn't move soon enough, I'll re-post my last post from our old address:

Leetie, gloat away!

Everything here worked out wonderfully, too. The only glitch was that I couldn't find the ginger when I was making the pumpkin pies. Meghan and I did an impromptu skit of searching the pantry and cabinets calling out for "Gingah! Gingah, dahling, you there?" We assumed she opted to spend Thanksgiving with her sisters, The Spice Girls. We thought we were quite hilarious --- you probably had to be there.

I used more cloves and my parents declared it the best pumpkin pie I've ever made.

And Ginger turned up this morning behind the bottles of flavorings for cappucino.

((((NEO))))

I am so sorry Neo. I didn't know about your cat when I posted. I feel like an idiot.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Neo, sorry about the cat.

Oh and JU is currently frying up some stuffing and eggs for breakfast, with a few slices of pork roll on the side for extra decadence.

Yum yum, Leetie. Worth a little reflux. And the dulcimer is very cool, too.

[Jeff Meyerson]

I give it a month, maybe two.

[Eleanor]

Woke up, it was a Chelsea - er, I mean New MOAT morning and the first thing that I said...
HPY BRTHDY BNGI!!!

[Eleanor]

{{{neo}}}

neo's cat: RIP.

[Eleanor]

This one lasted a long time, by Hollywood standards!

[Leetie]

El, are you feeling better today?

[Eleanor]

Thanks for asking Leetie! :)

Yes, I'm much, much better. The horrible pain in my side, which I'd originally self-diagnosed as a clear-cut case of kidney cancer, in reality may have only been a muscle strain, and with the help of ibuprofen is diminishing every day.
And how about you? Did the pain of the mandatory Thanksgiving day "burn" draw your attention away from your sore throat, etc???

Is Susan working today, does anyone know?

[Leetie]

Yes, the pain from the burn was very distracting. I held ice on it for about 1/2 hour and it just burned and burned. Then I put some aloe on it and it immediately felt better. What a neat little plant.

I look like I'm branded.

[Jeff Meyerson]

I'm pretty sure Susan said she'd be doing the regular request show today.

The horrible pain in my side, which I'd originally self-diagnosed as a clear-cut case of kidney cancer, in reality may have only been a muscle strain

I figured appendix (but you had it out) or kidney stones, but I guess it wasn't dramatic enough for some people. ;)
