Rave: It is time to see if there is any interest in Ice Skating at the Prospect Park Ice Rink sometime during New Years Weekend.

Rant: This idea could flop.

em26

^^ Rant :Ya'll going ice skating while I'm away.






Hmm...maybe it's for the best since I'd certainly fall on my ass numerous times.... :scratch:




....and take down anyone next to me.:shock:





Have fun!

Rant: stupid raccoon at my window after midnight scared the crap out of me. Then I fall asleep and the phone rings at 2am (nobody there). When I finally fell back asleep, I had freaky weird dreams.

Rave: This Dean Martin tune keeps popping up on the radio:



Totally creeps me out, but in the usual Dean Martin way so I'm callin' it a Rave. :P

em26

^^Mmm, marshmallow. =P~

Rave: FedEx is delivering my things today!

I know I said no more shopping..hmm...no more shopping!!! For real this time.I'm done. #-o ](*,)

Rant: Can't leave the apartment till they get here.

whynot_31

Rave: Em has stopped shopping, so I must begin.

Anyone want something a little fancier than a bookcase built in the New Year?

...I'll won't charge you much more than lumber costs, I promise.

P.S. Your project has to involve pocket screws. If you don't know what a pocket screw is, you need to learn before the big carpentry test.

MOD

Whynot, talk to Papi, we need a cabinet of some sort in the kitchen -right now we only have a cheap shelf to hold our dishes. It sucks.

Rave: Don Gato chased, caught and ate a horse fly. It was a fat ugly one too. I was proud of the little kitter kitty.

I have the sense that googling "pocket screws" is going to turn up some very NSFW results.

An alternative form of joinery (one which takes far more time) is the staple of high school shop humor ...."Tongue in Groove".

As Mougar and I have discussed, when used outside of the wood shop it produces, ahem, even less safe for work results. but wiki is ok

I could, the kind with removable horizontal boards (as opposed to slide out drawers) are going to be much easier.

Fun with thin plywood. How many slots/shelves you need? how wide, and deep?

P.S. Can't beat this guy's price http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/zip/1521307285.html

Worst part of the night EVER!


It's not a wrestling move....not a wrestling move..... #-o

whynot_31

Em, as you are likely aware, people refer to sex by a variety of names.

You can continue to refer to it as "wrestling", we are ok with that.

...but, please keep your discussions of "the shocker" out of our polite conversations. If you can't, please at least warn us in advance.

em26

^ ^ ^WHAT??!! :mad:

I didn't bring shit up.Freakin' MOOOOOOOGAR!!!

whynot_31

Em it's ok.

No one judges you here. ...you don't need to go into the closet.

MOD

OK, Em needs to come to The Gate today and explain all this crazy talk, Iz confused :P

MOD

OK, I found out. Mooogar, quit stealing my GFF's innocence!!!

On another note: anyone have ideas on what I should make Papi Chulo for xmas dinner? Turkey is way too much food for an intimate dinner.

carmen

cornish hens!

scarlett

Last night I made puttanesca and pissaladiere. Dinner tonight is the most amazing lasagne ever and salad.

em26

I agree with Carmen.

Cornish hens are so easy to cook,too.


Mama, I take it that Whynot filled you in on last nite. It was....interesting.
