I have always stated that women need good women friends or girl friends. Having been away from my home for nearly 8 months it was in a state of chaos. Especially the kitchen. So many things were missing or in the wrong place...

Opal26 It's so great to see you back here again. You certainly were missed! I don't have a dishwasher either and don't love doing dishes and like to get them done and out of the way as quickly as possible. Although, the BF is good about helping out with the...

When I was a boy I spent a great deal of time with two aunts. They were both of the view that boys should learn to cook. I studied hard with them but I never got the hang of pastry or cakes. Really I need to be adopted by a nice...

Opal26 Oh no p1key! I'm afraid they are not! I don't think they would let me shave them either. I can't even clip their claws without Luna biting me! Now Star, my loverboy cat, well maybe....

Opal26 Oh my dear p1key! You're hired! Except you can just stay and keep me company and see the "sites" of NY! I haven't been the "Big Apple" in years and it would give me a great excuse to be a "tourist"! When should I be expecting you? You do like cats right?

I really cannot believe it. I met a GF this morning for a coffee after I had dropped the twins at school and before I went to my part time job. She said that she had just heard that we are having a hurricane tomorrow. I was not...

Opal26 Hi lil' sis~ It is really sad the devastation that Hurricane Sandy has caused. And yes, many people have lost days of work because there has been closed offices, no transportation, lack of power. It is going to take weeks, months or longer to try to put...

Opal26 Hi AL! I'm fine and thanks~ They are still running nothing but news on alot of the tv channels and the pictures are horrible. NYC is still a mess from all the water that they are trying to clean up. NJ really got hit the hardest. They have help from FEMA...

Opal26 Hi koopharper! Glad that you were lucky too! My immediate area is pretty much ok. There is sporadic power outages. One side of the street has no power (where my bank is)and the houses in back of it and that is how it is throughout the County. But, there...

Opal26 Hi celtic~ Yes, I got your PM and so appreciate it. I am having issues getting onto Mylot's site (not that this is anything new?). My PM's never worked normally either. I have to try all my browsers to just get to this discussion! I was extremely lucky as...

Opal26 Hi bun! I'm fine. I was definitely one of the lucky ones. If you've seen some of the horrible pictures of NYC itself they definitely got the serious flooding/water damage. The County I live in still has 195,000 people without power which is the worst of...

Opal26 Hi Gabs! It is so wonderful to hear from you! I have missed you so! I am not on FB, so I am trying to check on as many people here as I can. And I know that so many people are without power so they can't let us know how they are. I hope that you are well...
