There's this heater "as seen on TV" that plugs into the wall socket, called 'Handy Heater.' You can buy it off TV and get two for $19.95. Just for the heck of it I looked it up on Amazon and they have it too. . . that is, if you want to pay $42 for one crummy unit:

Because we can never seem to buy the same brand they do. Same for hot dogs. I don't know what brand vendors buy, but my home cooked dogs don't taste nearly as good as bought ones.



That's about the only thing I miss since retiring. We used to have wonderful food parties!!!




@maggie3fan - you forgot to I.D. this cute baby picture. This is Keira, Maggie's great granddaughter.



you got to cook them outside on coals......Keira was born Dec 1.

None of the hot dogs I buy from a vendor are b-b-q'd, they all come out of a steamer. I don't like any kind of bratwurst.

I picked one like that at auction a while back. Mine is 400 watts and when I tested it, it worked fine. What I did was make a portable outlet that could be hung up just about anywhere just in case emergency heat was needed somewhere like a tortoise house. I have never used it.

Go get a doctors note for an emotional support animal? Tell the doc that if he thinks you are mean and nasty now he should see you crammed on a train without Sam to talk to. ;)

You're just so inventive! What a good idea. I read the comments about it online and that was one thing most people have against it - the fact that it was stuck in a wall outlet and not really where it was needed.

Goood daaay TFO!

Hi Jacqui! You off today? Going Christmas shopping?

I finally got my WeedEater going yesterday and edged Dudley's yard and knocked down the areas of tall grass where he doesn't graze. Today I think (if it's not windy) I'll fire up the sprayer and get to the weeds along the driveway and out in the pasture.

Nopers, Tuesday is normally an 8-4 (or 430) day.

I'm about to change my name in my father's phone. I'm Lacey, his boss is Larry. They are right next to each other. 5am phone calls are enough to scare the crap out of me. I tend to assume something has gone terribly wrong and I just get a voicemail that says, "Oh sh*t, sorry kid, you're not Larry." ---Thanks for letting me know Dad.
