the thread of sharing good news - off topic!

She is afraid of small dogs.
She has no problems with the 120 lb Great Dane mix, but the 3 lb Yorkie terrifies her.

Maybe she just doesn't know what it is? She must have xenophobia.

Maybe L spends her days trying to figure out who SHE is, lol.

 

[Indigo77]

Who is Stuckinoki?

 

[dachsundmom]

Who is Stuckinoki?

She is a woman I met when I first joined BnB...she hangs out mostly in the LTTTC forum...she has had a very tough go of it....I think 5 losses.

Her DH is stationed in Okinawa.

 

[dachsundmom]

Oh...she's also a doxie mom! Adopted her when she got to Japan!

 

[Indigo77]

So....No one has ANY good news today?

 

[dachsundmom]

I got my temp drop!

Might sound weird, but since I have only had BFNs...bring it on!

 

[Indigo77]

That's all you got?

 

[dachsundmom]

My BIL is not staying at my house!

 

[Indigo77]

How did you manage that one?

 

[dachsundmom]

I told N I was going to leave town for the weekend and head for the most expensive suite I could find...magically, he and his bro decided to stay with the BFF this weekend, lol.

 

[Indigo77]

I have used that one before.....

He kept telling everyone they were welcomed to visit and stay with us....
Hello! We live near the beach! It got old VERY quickly....

It was easy for him to say....He would be at work all day and then join us for dinner and drinks in the evenings. I had to host & entertain them....He even did it when I was working from home! He didn't have to clean up before and after...I put a stop to it after being here for 3 years...It was ridiculous. Why don't they stay at a hotel? Why don't they wait to actually be invited?

 

[dachsundmom]

N got nervous bc he knew I was dead serious and the hotel that I prefer is a Hilton on the property of an outdoor mall....

 

[Indigo77]

Is he mad?

DH raised such a stink about it...

 

[dachsundmom]

He wasn't mad...he was concerned about his wallet.

Last time I checked, the Amex had my name on it, lol.

 

[Sus09]

Well I have good news!
I have just entered "the British great Bake" competition for 2012 lol, I was trying to be brave and I have just posted my application!!!

Time to bake now, and get better for when they call me!

 

[Indigo77]

What will you bake?

 

[dachsundmom]

We need pics of your finished baked goods!

 

[Sus09]

It is a big competition where you have to bake all sorts of things, from breads, cakes, biscuits, pastries... and they broadcast it on the BBC!! The thing is the winner gets the chance to open a business or bake along side important chefs!!

I probably wont´go through when they shortlist.
Got to make sure my Victoria Sponge does not sink and my biscuits do not melt!!

 

[Sus09]

Some samples... what do you think?
