I think, if my husband would admit it, that he wasn't prepared for the reality that he'd have to have his eyes redone every few years. I don't know if the procedure will cost as much as it did the first time, though. Another issue - I mentioned it before - but with this dry winter air he's really been struggling with dry eyes. Has to use eyedrops often.

Glad you liked the video.

Phoebe isn't left handed like her mom; the camera produces a mirror image. Glad you liked the silly little vid - we just turned on the camera and did one take and that was it. Made up the words as we went along... obviously!
Thank you for the kind words.

Oh well, even if she isn't left handed let me compliment her on her ukulele and song impovising skills (same compliment goes to you)!

Lisa, great little video of Phoebe doing her thing, with a little help from mrs hand on the left. And the background vocals. So cute.
Well he's already been for a couple of spins (Not literally) But Mum/Dad's new house has a couple pubs within a 2 minute walk. Very convenient for him.

Oh Lisa, don't know if you actually made that little cake for me, if so thank you.

If it was off the internet, well, great google-ing.

Expert coffeeshoppers, does anyone like the look of this Heuer? Considering bidding.

Wes, that watch is quite pretty and to have it in new condition with box and papers is extra nice. I don't know much about Tags, but I like that one. Would you find a 37mm case to be too small?

I would like to claim credit for making that cake, Wes, but the Photobucket Bakery found it for me.

Now, when it's your birthday, how are Phoebe and I going to come up with words that rhyme with "Carl?"

Snarl?

Bit like Carl, I actually prefer smaller watches. My DJ is perfect for work as it fits under my shirt cuff. My Speedmaster and Tudor don't.

He says it's brand new which is rubbish really. These were released about year 2000. Guess he just bought from a jewellers in 2010, but it looks mint condition which is good, may of been serviced. Has a good movement, same as a speedmaster, I have asked what sort of time it is keeping.

Think I have seen 1 or 2 sold for about that price, wouldn't really want to pay much more.

Lisa, I don't know how you are going to fine words that rhyme with Carl but if ever you make a song I am sure it will sound great!

Wes, that watch looks great indeed and 37mm is, to me, a pretty good size for a chronograph (besides, it would make it look even more different than your Speedmaster). The watch may not be brand new but its condition is really mint.

I am not an expert in Heuer's but the price doesn't seem that bad. Have you been able to find other models to compare? Have you thought about contacting someone here?

Well it's a 2D game with a bird in it, and that's pretty much the only similarity between the two games.

Not much help here, Art, but I looked up a recipe and it says to pan fry the boneless and breaded breast cutlets first. Did you already do that, or are you going to oven roast them before you do the sauce and cheese that goes over them? If you're roasting them from a raw state, and they're breaded and boneless, I'd say maybe 375 degrees for 30 or 35 minutes. Just a guess! Don't you have a recipe?

Oh, Lisa, I'm a man, we don't like instructions.

I finally got a hold of someone. Seems I've done nothing right, bought the wrong chicken to start with. Started to bake it, was told to pull it out and fry it to start, so I have, forgot to put the breading on, put it on too late, but it's on, now it's in the oven with the sauce, next will be the cheese, I even bought the wrong kind of of cheese I found out. So I'm letting it bake now for a bit. And we'll see. Maybe the dog won't even want it. I'll let you know, I thought it was going to be easy and I've not done one thing correctly.

Well, it's hard to mess up baked chicken to the point that you can't eat it. It may end up being a very tasty spin on chicken parmesan. Chicken a la Art.

Well, it's done. I'll try it soon. It will be interesting, not one thing did I do correctly. My new invention.

Have your shoes arrived yet? I am very, very tempted to go look again tomorrow at Converse. I want to get a pair of the new CT 70's if they have any and in grey. Or maybe that brown leather pair, or both.

Let us know how it turned out.

Yes, I got the Converse yesterday. They look totally cool, just as the pics showed, and I love 'em. However, they are a bit stiff and narrow so I'm hoping they break in to be more comfortable. I've got them stuffed with towels next to the heater to try and loosen up. The size is correct, though.

Ugh... somebody just came home from school ravenous and cranky.... must go attend to her...

Actually it turned out OK, really with all that sauce and cheese how could it not. I did bring home a fire house sub just in case though.

Send me a pic, I'd like to see them.

Good luck with your cranky one.

We're all fed, now. Art, your chicken cookin' inspired me to try something kind of similar; breaded baked chicken breasts, with mashed potatoes and squash casserole. I smear the chicken breasts in a mixture of plain yogurt and mayo, then dredge them in a mixture of bread crumbs, salt, italian seasoning, garlic and parmesan cheese. Then I just bake them.

Here are the the shoes, with and without chicken. You might catch the Mike's bottle in the recycle bin....

Hey, those look great, Lisa. Mine have the same patch on the inside. Thanks for showing them.

That recipe sounds good, I must try it sometime.

Nice, Art! Got any more pics? I'd like to see the entire shoe - a foot shot! Those look like they have a thinner sole. I'd actually prefer that for flexibility.
