I sit here browsing and hoping for someone to ask an interesting Q or even discuss an interesting topic...
And if I can,I put in my 2 cents worth(sometimes maybe a bit more than that :p )

But Saturday rolls into Sunday, and most seem to disappear.

I am sitting here wondering...

Where do you all disappear to?:D

If I'm not online here I'm usually either cleaning the house or I'm out and about because it's the weekend.

A lot of people take the weekend to go out and do something fun outside of the house. :p

Erika,
I thought of that too.. ;)

But it is like someone just swept the whole forum and sent all home ):

I noticed that too. Earlier there were like seventy-something members online. And then at the snap of a finger, they were all gone :eek:

I love it when there are a ton of members online, it always gives me someone to talk to :p

Everyone does the disappearing act.
Exactly!just like at the snap of a finger.. gone.

I too love to have something to do on this forum... makes me feel good to be able to help anyone.

I'm here a lot because I work at home from my computer, so I'm on when I am working and I am on when I am just lazing around the house. I work mon,tues and wed nights till eleven p.m. and after 11 at night there are very few people on then.

Laundry... help!. help! Oh, it's got me again!

I remember seeing you around a lot.

What do you exactly do from home?

I work in and around the home too :)
So I am on any free time I find, morning,noon or night.

Laundry....help!....help! Oh, it's got me again!

LOL me too.. towels specifically.. :p

How about dishes?:)

How about dishes?:)

Phew, just got done with those.. and sweeping and mopping kitchen floor... ;)

Firm I am a dispatcher for a trucking/courier company. I work the entire weekend shift, and I also work 3 evenings a week. Actually I could have Monday through Friday off but my kids love money.

And on your off days, what would you be doing?

P.S.Erika,
Me too, just done... and almost ready to get to bed.

Family, chores, friends, sports, etc. To me weekends aren't for sitting at the computer.

Baseball games, football games, swim meets,visiting friends, walking dogs, fishing. I don't have any of my family here they are a few hundred miles away. But I can also work and do those things, I just can't go to rural areas. That is if it is a slow day and not many jobs.

Family, chores, friends, sports, etc. To me weekends aren't for sitting at the computer.

I did not think you would be... :)

Sunday is the day we begin our week, so it is not really the weekend for me.

So when is your weekend?

Cleaning, laundry, trying to reorganize the bedrooms and living room, putting together my new vacuum cleaner, ironing, made a pot of borscht soup, and made my youngest son take a nap. So I could watch an old Terrence Hill western. Lol. Oh yeah - got a batch of chocolate chip cookies and a rhubarb cake made.

Sat morning includes Irish dance class for my DD and then I get my mother out and bring her over to visit the kids and have lunch run whatever errands she needs.

It feels like a luxury to play around the computer for a while. How is everyone tonight?

Shygrneyzs rhubarb cake never heard of it, But I have eaten the pie. Maybe you need to post that receipe.

I am waiting for dinner to arrive. Easy meal - pizza. Then will veg out with a movie, "The Seventh Seal."

Oh, about the rhubarb cake, will post the recipe I have.

NK,
Weekend on Friday and Saturday.

Shy,Thanks my little neighbor that is 82 will give me rhubarb, or maybe she will want to try out the receipe she is a better cook than the rest of us on this street and is always feeding us treats.

I have heard of rhubarb,
But what is it really?

A plant that is very, very tart has big green leaves and redish, pinkish stalks and that is the part you eat. When I was young and lived in the country we used to get a salt shaker and go to the rhubarb patch and eat till we were sick.

Shy the only thing we did with rhubarb was eat it raw or put it in pies. What else do you do with it besides make cakes?

I've never had rhubarb. Sounds good, though

Rhubarbn is making me ssad, it is fall, & I miss my family. Emland it is very good. Rhubarb pie is great my grnadmother used to make the best with sugar and butter on the top layer. Memory lane...

If it is sour, I will surely love it...

What's the best thing your grandmother made?

My grandmother's specialty was fried chicken.

Peanutbutter fudge, it was so good.

Too bad,all my grandma's were gone long before I could remember and the only one left was too old and she is gone too.

My mom and MIL are wonderful cooks though... they can whip a great dish anytime.


Fudge sounds yummmy for dessert.

With a meal of fried chicken and rice.:)

Hi all, just got back from a party watching the Buckeyes crush Washington :)

Rhubarb cake... did someone say rhubarb cake... oh how I miss that... I loved it.. with a bit of strawberries in it... mmmmmm

My grandmother used to make divinity. Ever had that? Yummy

Ohhh, I have stopped baking... it has been months since I put cookies or anything like it in the oven... when we move I will have two ovens... can you believe it two weeks and I get two ovens... I am so excited... I hope I can con someone for some rhubarb to freeze... I bet I can...
Divinity sounds great... never had it though... mmmmm, you guys just made my family very happy with the thought of baking... I will become the most popular in the house AGAIN...

Every since the Looney Bin shut its doors, I've been homeless. I really miss that nice nurse coming around with my meds and a nice snack.

Oh Mag... awww... you need a little attention sweet? I can let J know...

Just a little something to help me sleep. Thank you.

Firmbeliever it seems that you have a lot of time on your hands:)

Firmbeliever it seems that you have alot of time on your hands:)

I don't know about Firm, but I know I do have a lot of time on my hands. Is that a bad thing? Lol

When I finally get off the computer, I am...
Listening to my hubby gripe that I'm on the computer too much :) and taking care of our 2 yr old. Between the three laundry never gets done :) :)

Firmbeliever it seems that you have alot of time on your hands:)

Not that much,but as I am home most times, I get to get things done and still be online... :)
Also your weekends are one day different from mine,so when you are still in your weekday I am on weekend/Friday!:p

Rhubarb and strawberry pie, Hmmmm my mouth is watering now.

When I am not here, I am out and about. Working. Playing with the little one, spending time with my Wife. Also cleaning, cooking , etc...

I used to be on every chanch I get but now I try to get on occasionally. I enjoy helping people out as well. It is important.

Joe

Hey hun! My apartment is OK for right now, we're expecting more storms, I think they are down in your area right now, or just past. How is everything down there? Not too much damage I hope.

Thank you for posting this, Shy! I would like to try it. Never heard of it before.

Are you two OK, Erika and Shattered?
Storms and high winds with rain?

Everything good here so far! Thanks for asking! WE didn't have power for awhile yesterday, but I sat out back and watched the lightening storm, it was beautiful..
NO real wind or anything just a bunch of rain. Clouds are looking pretty dark right now.
I am so tired today though. I would love to snuggle under the covers and sleep... sleep.. but I can't. Almost time to make dinner and so much cleaning to do. I would rather leave it all and just sit and watch a good movie!
Everyone good? Any excitement anywhere?

Nothing much happening...
Everyone is still enjoying the weekend, it is rather dull today.

It is raining on and off here too for the last 2-3 days,but that is normal here.

Just one of those days, a few people want to go to the movies but I don't really feel like going. I just might fall asleep while I am there. Hubby is still working... I guess I won't be cooking a big dinner tonight! Just simple and healthy.
DID I MENTION I HATE GROCERY SHOPPING?? LOL
I was at super target and gosh was it busy!

Weekend shopping for everyone I guess.All of you must have had the same idea...

Are you two ok, Erika and Shattered?
Storms and high winds with rain?

I'm OK! We had sunshine today and weren't expecting anymore storms until later tonight so we decided to BBQ. Well that didn't work out too well, it started raining.. lol.

Ooh BBQ sounds yum, too bad it rained...

Ooh BBQ sounds yum, too bad it rained...

Well we cut into the burgers to make sure they were done, and luckily they were :p

Lucky you... hot burgers in rain.. ;)

I like mine spicy (by the way what meat were you BBQing?).
