The funnelweb. Yes. And those little bastards are aggressive! 🕷️

All true.  I'm severely arachnophobic so it's a no go for me.

@chris191070, this conversation in no way detracts from my excitement for your trip. I know it'll be amazing. Take pictures, but mostly, be in the moment and enjoy it.

Just be prepared for a debrief when you return!

I made eight.  They are slightly smaller than regular peanut butter cups. Chocolate is a bit too thick, but i'm okay with that. lol 

I had a little trouble getting the chocolate to coat the silicone mini-muffin cups. I think next time I'll add a splash of milk or cream just to thin it out a tad. I ended up with 24 pieces that were a little bigger than the individually wrapped peanut butter cups that should only be bought in bulk lol. 

Mmmm peanut butter 🤤

i didn't go there.. just froze the disc, then picked it up and splodged the chocolate on.. so that they have a coating on the top and bottom.. not around the sides unless it slid down there on its own..

That's too hot.. its 22c here feeling like 29c.  Also too hot. i hate summer.  
Hey you have a great trip, chris.. wow, I'm sure it will be amazing. 

 

Now, happy Friday. i need to think of what i need from the grocery store.  Do we have to eat? I mean really. We've spent years eating, can we just stop now?  Wouldn't life be wonderful if you just eat Danish and donuts for breakfast, fast food along with a Tim Hortons's cappuccino thing for lunch and watermelon, pineapple and cherries for dinner and whatever dessert you want later.   Sigh.. but no, we have to eat vegetables.. so Korean BBQ pork with stir-fried flat cabbage, onion, peppers and carrot for dinner on some nice jasmine rice.

mmmm..  if you have not explored our whole drop in centre.. Under topics is a recipe section.. if you feel like sharing your leek potato casserole recipe.  I'm assuming you're making it yourself.    Or you can find what others have put in there of course.

CRASH!!!!!

What a way to wake up. I bolted out of bed, heart racing as if I'd sprinted 10 feet thinking my mother-in-law fell. She uses a walker and is a huge fall risk.

What did I find?

Her sitting on the side of her bed and in between her bed and dresser was a mess. Her stupid cat knocked over a silver mirrored tray with all sorts of miscellaneous crap on it. 

And everyone wonders why I'm not a cat person. 

Have a good day everyone and watch out for those damn felines.

Sorry you got such a shock. Glad that it's just the darned cat though.  Did you go back to bed or say forget it??

As a cat person, yeah, this checks out.

Once I was reading The Shining, which is a book about a haunted hotel, at night (because of course) and my cat upstairs ended up climbing on top of my armoire, then jumped off so that he landed on the floor with a huge "THUMP" right above my head.  I think I jumped at least a foot.

It was definitely a forget it. Oh well, I'm getting a pedicure so I had to get up anyway. I had time to color my hair too so that's done.

Oh that's good then. i like when i can get things over with. I cooked potatoes to put in the fridge this morning, now i am going to marinate and package up some chicken thighs. I will cook some of them later too, since this week is gonna get stinking hotter.  ugh

Is your hair purple or pink or blue now?   

[Kitt]

My SIL had a cat that would dive bomb my brother in bed from the highest point in the room, on top of the curtain rods. Still not sure how she would get UP there in the first place.

Neither. I went with plain ol' medium brown. I'll do a reddish color in the fall. Or maybe a burgundy tinge.  I'll have to go with whatever my mood says.

Aubergine maybe? I tried with blue, green, blind and red hoping it looked like rainbow a bit. My hair looked so bad after a month I cut a good 30 cm and dyed the rest Aubergine which turned an orange red combined with my natural color 😅

I like dying my hair otherwise I have way too many gray hair and people might think I'm old 🤣

Getting old is sort of unavoidable. but you don't have to get old mentally...

I used to dye my hair pink and purple and blue but it sometimes requires bleaching and that can really mess up your hair if you do it too often.
