Unfortunately my version was black. Charred egg in a charred basket.

Still...with coffee - not terrible.

We received our newspapers later than usual this morning. This threatened to throw the cosmic balance completely out of whack.

You get newspapers? Like actual physical newspapers? Holy crap I didn't now those even existed any more.

Jespah and Region own dogs. They need the newspapers!

ahhhh, of course. I should have realized.

No, we are currently dogless. We get them for the crossword puzzles.

One of the best gifts I ever got was two years ago.
It was 365 New York Times Crossword Puzzles.

I buy at least one every morning. Sometimes more than one. (Can't find the NYTimes in this town; read the BosGlobe online.) Save them for kindling the wood-burner stove in the shack out in the rainforest.

but the slick ad pages are worthless...

gram gets one everyday, and saves them for me. I used to read the comics (she has already done every puzzle but the sodoku. she detests sodoku) but now I read them every day online instead of waiting.

I read the comics. Do two crosswords. Your gram's my kind'a woman -- I, too, detest sudoku. And yer right re: the slick ads. Thankfully, they are very few in the local paper. Most everything's pulp newsprint.

One of the things I miss by not buying the paper sunday nytimes is the crossword puzzle, sob. I think it was Roberta who said Thursday was more difficult, but don't trust my memory.

Alert the media: I do not like online crossword puzzles. I want big and tough puzzles and to see the whole thing at once. The online ones only aggravate Ms. Picky.

A conundrum I have: dry skin from winter time and I hate putting on lotion.

I thought that was one of the top ten reasons women got married, missy?

(foot massages being number 1, of course)

Yah...apparently I have been married a LONG time. Didn't even occur to me to ask. I'm an independent sort of gal.

I didn't think that one through all of the way...it won't let me delete it now. Oops a daisies.

oo ooo oooo!

Lemme tell ya what to do! Really.

It's easy to do for most body parts, but you do need a partner for your back.

put some epsom salts in a bowl, add a little bit (and I mean a little bit) of oil. I bought sweet almond oil just for this.

You want to make a scrub, not enough oil to melt the salts.

Last night I told Mr. Macho I was going to give him a spa treatment, and after all kinds of grumping, he agreed.

I did his back, and then his face.
After exfoliating his face, I whipped up an egg white and applied it all over his face, then pressed on toilet paper. It acts like a big biore strip.

After I got done, he stood there admiring himself in the mirror and admitted he felt really good.
He really did look great. I know he'd never had his skin exfoliated in his life.

After the back and face, I applied a little more almond oil to both.

Try pure coconut oil. Non-hydrogenated of course. It's great in food, on your hair and on the skin. It's supposed to be the cure or at least hold Alzheimer's at bays as well (if ingested).. It's a natural anti-bacterial and will fight viruses as well.
It's just pure goodness all the way around.

Carumba! Sounds more like he's ready to stick in the oven.
