-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 02-07-17  20:05 <=-

 NB>> [shrug]... That's cleaning things up, at least for this situation...
 NB>> ;) Good enough to just not see the dirty part... ;)

 RH> We've not had that much to look at this winter. If we'd not gone out
 RH> west, it would have been just the left overs from the storm last
 RH> month. Going to get cold briefly later this week but not wet and cold
 RH> enough at the same time around here to generate white stuff.

This winter things just keep turning to slush and making messes... this
morning we woke up to sleety ice on the car windows... fortunately not
too hard to clean off to get to church...  Now it's settling down to
snow again.... they're predicting 2-4 inches, last I saw... I think that
the possible ice we were threatened with earlier is passed by now... I
hope, anyway.... (G)

 RH>>> the white. Brought it in the next day & finished cutting what
 RH>>> was needed. I'm going to try to get the top finished over the
 RH>>> next few weeks, then go back to QoV projects.
 NB>>> That worked out ok after all, then... :)
 RH>> Quite so. This quilt is from a picture I'd seen in a quilting
 RH>> supplies catalog. I'd bought a piece of fabric that I liked,
 RH>> not sure what to do with it until I saw the picture. Took some
 RH>> time to do the maths but it'll be a pretty quilt when done.
 RH>> Wall hanging or snuggle under on a cold day size.
 NB>> Sounds nice.  :)

 RH> You will see pictures of it probably next summer. (G)

To be expected... ;)

 RH> Tomorrow I'm going to put something into the crock pot before my
 RH> dental appointment so it can cook while I'm there and at quilting.
 RH> Supper will be ready for us to enjoy before heading out to church.
 
Good planning..  :)
 
 RH>>> Much better for me overall. I don't like working with dirty
 RH>>> hands (from munching) so will refrain from the mindless
 RH>>> munchies when concentrating on a project.
 NB>>> Also very good thinking... :)
 RH>> Helps me be more mindful of what I'm eating too. I try to track the
 RH>> carbs somewhat; it's easier to do if I'm not eating all the time. (G)
 NB>> Fewer things to jot down (or mentally list)...  :)  Back in the days
 NB>> when I went to Sit'N Stitch sessions for our local Embroiderer's
 NB>> Guild, there were always munchies out...  I found it easier to resist
 NB>> them once I realized that they were usually upsetting my stomach as
 NB>> well as messing up my hands.... ;0

 RH> Better all around then, not to snack.

That's the conclusion I came to...   :)
 
 NB>>> ... Did you say that MNP means Modem Needs Pizza?
 RH>> We recently saw a sign for a new business here in WF, also in
 RH>> Raleigh, called MOD Pizza. No idea what the MOD stood for so
 RH>> I suggested mushrooms, olives and durian. Steve disagreed, but
 RH>> hasn't come up with anything better.
 NB>> Daikon, maybe....?   (G)   Oh, I know... Dairy...!   ;)  
 NB>> Hopefully not Dog...   (G)
 RH>> We're half thinking that since they are advertising "fresh and
 RH>> fast", it could mean "made on demand" but I like my idea better. (G)
 NB>> I saw where Jim confirmed that "made on demand"....   Besides, how
 NB>> common is durian where you are, anyway..... (G)

 RH> Not very, we've got a small Asian population, but not that many
 RH> in/aroundWF. They're more toward the Research Triangle/Durham/Cary
 RH> area.

Well, there you go.... wouldn't be durian, then....  ;)

 RH> We have only the one Chinese place in WF proper, but it does a
 RH> good business from non Asians, including, us, from time to time.

Lots of people like Chinese food... of one sort or another, anyway.. ;)
