All my money right now is earmarked for the dentist.<br /><br />Elephant's Child; a third volume? I'll have to get them as soon as I can, I finished 6 Ways To Die this afternoon and can't wait for the next, although of course I'll have to.<br />So many books, so little time, so very true!<br /><br />Lee; I hate those ads because they draw in the gullible people who only see quick cash and don't think about the high interest repayments.<br /><br />Jac; the ads are for quick-fix money lenders, I hate them. Loan sharks by a new name is all they are.<br />I remember visiting older people when I was young and they had curtains everywhere, even halfway down long passages. As kids, we thought they were fun to play with, running through them or hiding behind them; now I know they were there to keep out draughts.<br /><br />Merle; I've never tried moussaka, but I used to eat lasagna quite often. I agree it's a bit boring tastewise, but you could add things to the sauce and have garlic bread as a side dish.<br /><br />Delores; some is better than none. I don't wish for 'big hair' but I do wish for thicker and longer.<br /><br />Lee; the night got worse as time went on.....loud ruckus upstairs etc. grumblegrumblegrumble<br /><br />JahTeh; my not quite imbecile husband went a different route to quick fixes, can you believe 5 credit cards all going around in circles being used to make payments on each other? yup.<br /><br />Andrew; not inventive so much as a memory, elderly people from my childhood had curtains in doorways and along hallways to keep out draughts; they were tied back in summer, but rarely washed so very dusty when released each winter. I remember houses with velvet draped passages, others with blankets nailed up; all of them so warm.<br />Welcome home.<br /><br />Craig; I used to enjoy sewing, then fabric and patterns got too expensive, plus the kids wanted the same store bought stuff their friends had. R Mac Wheeler has his own website, you can find it by clicking on his name when he comments at elephant's Child's site.<br /><br />mm; combing before showering doesn't make much difference, but combing after shampooing, then leaving it to dry itself, gives me long ringlets, but they only last until I run a comb through them. I'm going to try all the local pet stores for the gloves, Amazon has too high delivery fees to Australia.<br /><br />whiteangel; those ads seem to have a set time each evening for viewing, from ---pm to ---pm then they aren't on again until the next day.

What happened? <br />I had lengthy replies typed out for every comment here, clicked on 'publish' and was taken to a google sign in page.<br />damn, damn, damn!!!<br />you know when you sign in there is a little tick box to tick to stay signed in? Well, I ticked it and every day I come here and don't have to sign in. until my computer randomly picks a day to give itself a gazillion updates. Which it did last night. And I'd forgotten it by this morning.<br />So I typed carefully thought out replies and lost every word. I cannot remember what I wrote.<br />Thank you all for your comments, I'll be back for take two when I calm down.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-62991874022849253112015-07-16T11:49:26.448+09:302015-07-16T11:49:26.448+09:30Big hair....I wish....still, I still have some.Big hair....I wish....still, I still have some.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-3793873258192612642015-07-16T08:58:12.488+09:302015-07-16T08:58:12.488+09:30That add is awful but it's wise to make a good...That add is awful but it's wise to make a good add or a very bad one that way we talk about them and remember them and they have made a impression. <br />I don't like moussaka at all it has eggplant in it and lasagna is a bit boring, but what are the foods to explain the men of these countries that would be different.<br />Your hair sounds great always wanted a bit of curl but was out of luck.<br />Curtains are great for keeping warmth in, I make lots and pillow cases too, clothes are just too fiddly now. <br />Merle.........<br /> Merlesworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573975763012762631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-29831626662679526672015-07-16T08:00:20.451+09:302015-07-16T08:00:20.451+09:30We use curtains as well - everywhere!

It's so bloody ridiculous, and not at all humorous. <br /><br />It sounds very nice and cosy with your new curtains and rug to help keep you warm. Another cold snap is ready to snap...it's even pretty nippy up this way, too.

I was reading it outside Emily's art class and Mrs. P asked my opinion. I was approaching half way and gave her the So-So hand motion. She came out a bit later for an update, and my eyes were big as saucers. I must finish it tonight. Do get a copy as soon as you can.<br />I love Roman blinds. We use curtains to keep back cold air in winter, too.
