Contributing Member Denise Posted October 12, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 12, 2008 Well, we're going out to a friend's for Thanksgiving dinner. No, we are not celebrating early. It's Canada and this IS Thanksgiving. By the way, it is 60 degrees F, (15 Celcius), sunny and beautiful in northern Alberta. No snow, and only had a few frost so far. What's with the snow down south?

Contributing Member rdb Posted October 12, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 12, 2008 Happy Thanksgiving Denise!! Stay away from the poutine! Hate to say it, but the global warming has the whole earth's engine in a funk. Pretty soon we'll all be moving to Canada for temperate weather. Quote Web page Facebook
Moderator Johanna Posted October 12, 2008 Moderator Report Posted October 12, 2008 I lived in the deep south for eleven years, and I don't care how you fix them, grits are gross. Every southerner will tell you their "sweet tea" is the best, too, but plain water tastes better than iced tea. My dad is from PA and my mom is from Ohio, and when I was little I lived in "New Hanpshuh" so maybe I'm just an ignorant Yankee like they said. "Grits" in this part of Ohio is pork headmeat and pinoats. You bake it or fry it and cover it with pepper. Delicious!

Members wildrose Posted October 13, 2008 Members Report Posted October 13, 2008 My Lord, that's SNOW! God bless you there! I take back my thoughts on missing it now that I'm in VA (moved here from PA). Sweet tea, now that's a laugh. I recently took a job at The Daily Grind, a coffee shop in Blacksburg, just off VA Tech campus. I can always tell northerners like me if they call it ice tea. It's good, but I'm just as happy with my Lipton powder mix at home. At least I can call soda a soda and not get looked at funny, like when I was in western PA and they called it "pop". Now I just have to work on saying Appalachian properly..."a pah lah chan" rather than "a pah lay chan" The coffee shop has taught me what a coffee idiot I am. Being a tea drinker, I had no idea that espresso was more than a drink unto itself (i.e. it's in lattes and cappucinos); and I'm sure I gave my "trainer" a deer in the headlights look when she tried to show me how to steam milk with the espresso machine. But I made a little "cheat sheet" and am getting along better now. I find I'm a visual learner - if I see it written, I'm more likely to remember it. Probably why I'm so awful with names when introduced! But for me, the big "to do" on the leather front was yesterday: the Highlander Festival at Radford University. The weather was perfect (sunny and 70's), it was also parents' weekend, and there was an Appalachian Arts Festival on campus the same day. So LOTS of shoppers. And great music, and men in kilts, and wearing my own family's tartan (MacLaren). Plus, I made over 300.00 !! I know that's not alot to some of you, but to me that was a one day record. Best sellers were small items: wristbands and keyrings. But I also sold a few larger things. Next up is a choral booster benefit at a local school in 2 weeks. So I'll be busting my butt again...and Tandy is getting a big ol' order from me tomorrow! Quote Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Members Kani Posted October 13, 2008 Members Report Posted October 13, 2008 Gee it was 86 here today. Did you say snow? What snow. Don't tell me it's headed our way. I've still got some horse back riding to do before I get ready for deer hunting. With our temps it's hard to believe that summer is over and fall is here. Quote
tashabear Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) It was a gorgeous clear fall day in New England today. Did I... A ) Go for a ride on my motorcycle? B ) Go to my friend's birthday party? C ) Work on some leather projects? D ) None of the above? If you chose D, you are correct! I did none of these things, because I spent half the day sick in bed and the other half sick in a chair. Yey. Edited October 13, 2008 by tashabear Quote
