Here we go! Hello again! Patty Kaye and Killer will be pleased, I think, and this Part 2 is dedicated to them. I tried to post but got a message that this discussion was no longer active, so looks like it's time to start a new one!

Snappy, so glad your car didn't need new tires! Got to keep that battery up, so ...

Yes, it's time! Let's pack the hamper, borrow Mr. and Mrs. DD's Nancy Drew car, and hit the road! No ants allowed at the picnic!

Have a good night, everyone.

Here is the new ""hello"" thread. Hope you can see it!

OMG, MsLomo; thanks for starting the new thread. Quick thinking on your part. I remember you asked me a question about the Tesla. It is an all electric car; I think that it gets about 250 miles per charge.

I haven't made the kale salad yet; I look at it every day when I open my refrigerator. I did read that you have to massage it to break down the fibers????

Hi Snappy; hope that all is well with you. So glad that you don't have to get new tires, and yes, you do have to start your car more. I have an SUV that I hardly ever drive, too. BTW, I haven't had any problema with my car; keep your fingers crossed.

Hey Cute. I am looking forward to seeing the September issue of Health Magazine. Do I have the name correct?

We are all going on a picnic, and no ants invited.

Hi there. Thanks, MsLomo for starting the new thread. I didn't think this would happen until the first of the year, but hey, we are resilient people! So grateful we are able to meet together like this. Thanks to the Q for the opportunity.

Was vacuuming the garage, and pulled something in my lower back, so OUCH, I'm sitting here in a degree of pain. DD is working in her classroom. Lowes says the windows and doors are all in, but they are waiting for a kit they need for installing the doors. She thinks that will mean it won't get done before she has to go back to work, but I'm praying otherwise.

Bath, I went to the other place and after clicking here and there was able to sign in, but that's as far as I could get. Couldn't figure out how to sign out, so I hope it just happens if I don't go back. Hope you stop by here so we can keep in touch. We love you.

Hi Issy, cute and all our friends here.

MsLomo — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 21:16:18 GMT

Hi, Issy! I hope Devia finds her way here! She started a new thread about the missing first one!

Bath connected with me (next door), and she alerted me that the first thread may have been deactivated, and she was right. So, here we are. New adventures!

Yes, I read that, too, about massaging the kale (to bring out its sweet flavor?). Did we read that in the QVC forums? I think so! I may be dreaming about the "bring out its sweet flavor" part. I am thinking massage is a good thing all around. How long can you keep that kale in your fridge before it loses its nutrients? Hmm. Maybe tonight you should massage it, rinse it, and steam it. Add dried cranberries, sliced almonds, and maybe a little yogurt honey-mustard salad dressing, although I'm not sure about the dressing. Maybe a raspberry vinaigrette. I think I remember that from Snappy's Trader Joe's kale salad that she likes but DD doesn't.

I am now wondering if there are easy-to-find charging stations in case you go on a long trip in the Tesla. Maybe a portable charger you can carry in the Tesla trunk? Maybe soon the online shopping channels will sell portable car chargers you can carry in your handbag! Wouldn't that be great.

I think the magazine is "Natural Health" but I'm not sure. Devia, what's the name of the magazine that your GD is in this September?

Re: hello

MsLomo — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 21:27:33 GMT

Hi, Snappy! We were posting at the same time! I am so sorry about your back. I hope you can get a heating pad or some Ben Gay on it so it will feel better. Very painful when that happens. Ouch!

Re: hello

snappyfrappy — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 21:30:47 GMT

Hi MsLomo, so nice to see you. I wrote down the magazine name when cute posted it. "National Bikini Magazine" coming out 9-26-14. Don't know if it's available at drug stores and such places. Love your idea about portable chargers for cars. They would come in all colors with or without "bling". Like the Halos we get for our phones and tablets. Maybe with holsters also for those in the wild west. We could wear them with our jeans and boots.

Enjoy your day,

snappy

Re: hello

snappyfrappy — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 20:50:06 GMT

cute, yeah, so glad to see you here. We just pick up right where we were and go on. Thanks to the Q for the opportunity to be together. I'm sure the rain will be helpful to the farmers. You should be (and are) so proud of your GD. Your whole family is super.

Yesterday while vacuuming the garage, something "ripped" in my low back and so I'm sitting here with the heat pad on. Have had this before, so I know it will get better in a few days. Had plans to go out today, but won't.

How does Lucky restrain himself? I mean it's natural for dogs to bark, but he seems to know he shouldn't with the bunny. Do you think if he did bark, the bunny would be scared off? I wonder. Maybe he's so used to you that he wouldn't be afraid.

Well, hope you and all our friends here have a nice day,

snappy

Re: hello

Issy379 — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 22:22:52 GMT

Yeah, Cute; you made it. We really are a good group; we just keep keeping on. I will certainly watch out for the magazine in September. That is so exciting!

Hi Snappy. I am so sorry that you hurt your back. Please try to rest a bit, but I know how back pain feels. Sometimes you just can't get comfortable. I went over to the Bistro for spaghetti, which was delicious. I saw the homeless man yesterday. I stopped my car at the stop sign, and he walked in front of my car. He really didn't look at me. He was carrying his sleeping bag. I didn't talk to him, but he seems okay.

Looks like your windows will not be done before your DD has to go back to school. I am looking for new drapes for my living room. Can't decide on what to do.

Hey MsLomo, thanks for stopping by. Have you been back to the dentist yet? I think that we all have horror stories. I remember once that my dentist was giving me a shot and I almost jumped out of the chair. He said "I must have hit a nerve; one side of your face is green". I felt like the right side of my face was on fire!!! Guess that might be too much information.

Hi Bathina; we miss you. Hello to all of the wonderful ladies of the Q.

Re: hello

MsLomo — Fri, 22 Aug 2014 04:04:17 GMT

Snappy, I hope your back is better.

Bath posted a response to you "next door" on your thread, Devia! I just saw it!

Re: hello

snappyfrappy — Fri, 22 Aug 2014 21:03:07 GMT

Hi Issy, great to see you today. Thanks for the concern over my back. I'm on the heat pad again. It feels really nice, although it's a bit hot to use it. Slept straight through the night, but was stiff this morning. Had planned on going out but when DD saw me getting ready, she said no. She will do it when she gets home. So good to know the homeless man is still around. Feels like he belongs to us all. He has you watching out for him even if he doesn't know it. Spaghetti sounds wonderful! Wonder where Bistro Boy is now? Hope you get the new drapes. Decisions, decisions. I have to arrange to have ours taken down and cleaned before they put in the slider in our LR. We don't think they will be installed before DD goes back to work, but I'm praying they will. DD#1 has offered to come out to be here it I want. Am looking forward to getting them for every reason.

cute, good to chat today. Thanks for the sympathy over my back issue. It hurts mostly when I try to bend down and put on shoes or socks or anything, and pick things up and so forth. Have you been able to find the place to post next door? I can't figure it out at all. I got to sign in once, but that's as far as it would take me. Couldn't even find a way to sign out. Today I ordered the Kind bars to come in November. Just couldn't resist the ones with salted caramel. Oh my. Yummy.

MsLomo, glad you have been able to figure out things next door. I'm hopeless. If you chat with bath, tell her hi from me, please. Thanks for the well wishes for my back. It will be better soon. Good to see you today.

Danky — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 16:42:24 GMT

HELLO.......SNAPPY, I left you a brief message on the widow's thread not knowing about this one. I like Kind Bars too but I find they are usually about $8 cheaper from Amazon and, with Prime, 2 day delivery......nothing like almost instant gratification. CUTE T.....the harvest picnic sounds like such fun. A few weeks ago we went to the Ulster County Fair in upstate NY and had the best time. My DS is REALLY into tractors and we loved the pulls. The sheep shearing, the old-timely games, the very bad for you food......it is all so wonderful and a great reminder of a kinder, gentler time.

Re: hello

snappyfrappy — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 21:12:39 GMT

cute, your town sounds like such a fun place to live. No wonder you jumped. But knowing you, it wouldn't have surprised me if you had gotten up on the table with "Elvis" and done your thing. You and your hubby are such fun people. Glad you got the rain but it didn't spoil the concert. Jerry Reed is the only name you mentioned that rings a bell with me. Thanks for the concern about my back. It is getting better. I slept well, and was less stiff when I got up. Am sitting here with the heat pad and it feels good. Giving the back lawn some much needed water. We have to conserve because of the serious drought. Send some rain our way, ok? I love seeing you every day. So grateful we are together. Oh, I went next door and signed in and saw your thread and posted. Figured out how to sign out also. It's very different than it was when we were there before.

Danky, I saw you on the other thread. Thank you for thinking about me. It never occurred to me that Kind bars could be ordered from Amazon! Thanks for the skinny. Do they have all the same varieties sold on the Q? I love the caramel ones especially. I can get them at Trader Joes, but not all the same flavors. They are good and good for us, relatively speaking. I'm happy to see you here today. These ladies are wonderful and would love to get to know you.

Hi to Issy, bath, MsLomo, CouponQueen, LurkyLoo and all who read here.

Re: hello

Danky — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 23:43:49 GMT

HI SNAPPY......I don't know how the Kind flavors compare to the Q's...the last ones I bought were the Carmel Almond Sea Salt (I think ) and I just compared prices in general . Since I discovered Amazon about 3 years ago, it has been my first go-to place for EVERYTHING ! I am fine...I really have nothing to be unhappy/concerned about....some days I am a little blue but that really is not my natural disposition so I move on very quickly......I am typically a " glass half full " kind of girl. We grew up with my Dad telling us all the time that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade...I guess I heard it so often it stuck. It has been very dreary here today so I made soup...I called a friend and asked if he wanted some because I ate so much I never want to see it again. I went to a football game last night and got home very late but I was still up at my 4:00 a.m. regular time.Needless to say I am pretty much ready for bed. Hope you and all the ladies on this thread have an enjoyable evening.

Re: hello

Danky — Sun, 24 Aug 2014 17:43:10 GMT

GOOD EARLY AFTERNOON......I think I slept about a million hours but it feels good to not be in an exhaustion stupor.CUTET......it sounds like you had a great night on the town. Your description made me want to be there. I didn't know that Connie Stevens was still alive but I really hadn't thought about her much over the years. Was she the " Kookie, Kookie Lend Me Your Comb" girl ? You and your DH sound like a very fun couple......it is amazing how many talented people are wandering around. (I am NOT one of them.)They just don't ever get that one break that would change their life. SNAPPY.......are you in CA ? Did the earthquake this morning impact you in any way ? We will be waiting to hear from you with assurances that you and DD are safe. MsLOMO and ISSY......I am looking forward to "meeting" you both. I am going to try to go through clothes today. Get rid of the things that haven't been worn in decades and maybe start putting away summer stuff......it has been unseasonably cool here but beautiful.

Re: hello

snappyfrappy — Sun, 24 Aug 2014 22:44:56 GMT

Oh, my long post vanished.......

Danky, it's the caramel, sea salt Kind bars that I wanted. DD#2 tells me that there is almost nothing you can't get from Amazon. She does a lot of shopping there. Thanks for the heads up. I'm sorry this is a hard time for you. I understand. Little by little it will get easier, but life is just different now. Your positive temperament will help you, but it's still hard. Yes, I am in SoCal a long way from the quake. I saw coverage of it on TV while getting ready for church. I've lived here all my 80 years and never seen that much damage, but it all depends on how close one is to the epi-center. Glad you are clearing out some clothing you don't need or want. DD and I just gave away lots of things to a charity. My hubby was born in Rochester NY which is sort of where you are I guess. I've never been on the east coast. You will love the ladies on this thread. Our cute and her hubby just celebrated their 51st anniversary and have an amazing family. Someday maybe she will tell you about her GS and his almost all underground house and property that sounds like a Disneyland to me. Issy is a business woman with a fashion flair and loves making jewelry, MsLomo writes with such wit and flair, and bath and her hubby have a 3 year old GS whose "Hal-isms" as he learned to speak have made their way into our vocabularies. Hope you come back anytime.

cute, I don't like lightening. Thunder is okay, but the two usually go hand in hand. You seem to get lots of it and we don't. So glad you and your hubby have been able to enjoy the picnics and fairs and concerts. Soon enough you will be sitting by the fire sipping cocoa and listing to him play his guitar. Ah, that sounds so nice to me. Yes, thank you, my back is MUCH better today. Slept well and was much less stiff this morning. Was a bit hard getting in and out of the car, but not bad. Hope we hear soon about a date to install the windows and doors, but I don't see how it could be before DD goes back to work on Wednesday. DD#1 has offered to come out to be here if I want her to. They are trying to sell her hubby's unit so they can focus on selling hers and buying the one they both like.

Hi to Issy, MsLomo, bath and all who read and post here.
