Hope you like the chicken NAOW. I was thinking about making it too.

I like flannel shirts too. When Sean & I first started dating he came over one Saturday & I was wearing one. He looked at me in disgust & told me if he saw me in a flannel shirt again he was out of there. He had a real aversion to them for some reason. I guess the same way I'd feel if he was wearing a wife beater.

I grew up wearing them. They are warm enough without being cumbersome when doing something.

And I have some of those wife beaters too. We call them undershirts.

Sometimes, I wear both at the same time!

More flannel sheets for me!!!!

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

flannel is my favorite fabric.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Some things concern me.

If you have flannel sheets and flannel pajamas, don't you become a huge ball of static electricity?

And then there are the silk pajamas and silk sheets, if you move to quickly you can slide across the bed and out the other side.

Yes. I think about these things.

Nope.

And we can't afford to heat the house more than 69 or 70 degrees. Cotton sheets are COLD.

That's where we keep ours turned to in the Winter. It's always warm enough.

We have sheex. Google it. They are expensive. BEST. INVESTMENT. EVER. They are worth every penny. You can watch for sales or email them and they will give you a coupon for a discount. AWESOME. I will never buy anything else.

I have church group tonight. Everything is made and ready. I'm looking forward to it.

JPT · Senior Member

I am always so hot, I can't even imagine flannel sheets!

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

JPT, buy some sheex. Seriously. They are expensive but I always suffered from night sweats. Even when I was little. These sheets are made out of the same material that sports uniforms are made out of. They are designed to wick away sweat and keep you cool!

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

"Wick away sweat". Where does it go?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

No idea and don't want to know. Don't even care! Don't want to think about it!

I know they never wrinkle or crumple. They fit our huge pillow top mattress like a champ. And I no longer get hot in them. They are the best.

I keep my house at 65 during the evening & down to 62 at night & when I'm at work. I am always hot like JPT said.

We have central heat. I don't care for it. Very drying and it isn't really warm. It warms the house but it seems to smother more than warm.

I grew up with wood heat. Goodness that was heat.

I remember the house being so hot in January we would open the doors and windows to breathe.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I did the weirdest thing yesterday. DN and her b/f Sparkly have been dating a year now. They both know that everyone hopes the best for them and that we all want grand kids. They are planning on moving in together this summer. Any kids they have will be the only grand kids on both sides. So I was SS shopping and I found the absolute cutest little onsie with matching socks, receiving blanket, and beanie hat all in her college colors. So adorable. I bought it and gave it to her. After she got over me being insane she thought it was really cute.

Is it dinnertime yet?????

flan

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

No.

But it is time for an after school snack.

May suggest cookies and milk?

Or perhaps apple sauce and graham crackers?

Cheese and crackers?

Piece of fruit maybe?

My parents' house had forced-air heat, with registers in every room .

When I was in college, I spotted a tube running from a cold water pipe to the furnace.

There was a built-in humidifier. It had never been turned on.

When I told my brother, he said that's probably why he had nose bleeds every winter.

We have circulating hot water, which also adds no humidity to the house, just heat.

So we also have steam vaporizers, and keep the humidity at about 40% all winter.

We would keep a pot of water on the wood stove. It was just right.

And we could add our own flavorings and spices to it and it was better than any air freshener ever. We always seemed to ad a drop or two of vanilla and some cloves and cinnamon.

The house always smelled warm and inviting.

That sounds wonderful. Unfortunately, Spouse is allergic to many fragrances.

Well this wasn't something you buy premade. It came out of the cabinet.

Throw in some orange peels, too.

We just received a message from the school system. Seems one of the teachers told her class her husband had just returned from a job in Sierra Leone.

Great.

And WHY would she tell her class that?

Just got back from casino. Made $16 bucks. Whoop whoop! I usually lose.

I made a friend at church today. I'm kind of shocked. I'm like DG the quiet type. She invited me over to her house to bake. I'm really excited!

I'm a little jealous. You're MY friend. If you're off baking with her you won't be here with me. I don't like her.

You met me NJN I think we both know I'm not imaginary!

Haha. Whenever I talk about the Geeks I just talk as if I really know you people. Things get iffy when my real life friends start asking questions, then I have to admit I only know you on the internet.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Vette is not imaginary. Neither is FWM nor ohfour. Also, Momala. And DR. I think that's all the geeks I've met!

It's hard to explain ya'll because I really am close to some of you that I've never even met! And when you try to explain to people about it they look at you funny. My kids say you're my pretend friends. Then I remind them that I go have lunch with FWM a lot. And that they've all met her. They're not sure what to say about that.

Try explaining buying a SS Christmas present for someone you've never met! "Um, I'm buying a gift for this random person I've been assigned that I've never met... Why no. I don't have mental issues. Why do you ask?"

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

Ha ha ha ha! I talk about Secret Santa here all the time. I tell people I am part of an 'online discussion community' (don't we sound smart?!) and it's so much fun to be in touch via mail with people 'around the world'. Most people are jealous!

That is a fabulous way to phrase it. Then if they ask more, I can say it's 'invite only,' that'll really impress them.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I actually say something similar Tig. I belong to an online message board. With people from all over the world. We discuss topics and issues of importance and also fun things. We're doing a SS now. I've actually met a few of them. They're all normal like me. (That's where I usually lose them!)

Tell em it's super super secret. You have to be invited and approved. Strict process.

I always tell people I don't share my discussion board with people I know in real life.

Yes Tig, it's always good to make sure your REAL life and your IMAGINARY life don't get mixed up!
