Bobalky? It doesn't sound familiar. It may be that I have and we just call it something else. If it's German than every town has it's own name for it. We're silly like that. You can drive 2 hours and end up in a town where their dialect is impossible to understand, even though they're still speaking German.
For instance. And egg is an ei but in Weikersheim, where I lived before moving to Canada, it's called a gukale (you pronounce the e at the end).
I like to drizzle hersheys chocolate syrup over them before I eat them. Yummy.Quote:

You have to post the recipe J. My mouth is watering.
When do you start baking? And store them in the freezer? (How do you keep people from snitching them?)
I used to make 35 dozen or so, but now I'm old and I have only 8 different kinds on my list so far.
I've never baked before. I just got the recipes in the mail from Mom today.
This'll be a first for me.
Hopefully this is what my christmas cookie plate will look like when I'm done.

You big meanie J! Mine will look like this.

You both have me beat. I won't have one at all because my wife would complain I don't need it (if its something I like)... and if its something she likes she'd eat them.
I don't mean to hijack, but am I going crazy or what? Am I actually seeing this? Please tell me it's a hallucination...

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Was that a boy or girl... in any case they are the new face of androgyny.Quote:

Well I got the lights up on the house, first time, I never had lights all over the house, even all the peaks, ledges, windows and around the two garage doors. It's pretty cool, I have a remote where I can set the lights to blinking, solid colors, color waves, etc.
I got a few new things so far too; a lighted Christmas Peacock, a beautiful lighted chicken and two chicks and three red lighted bells that are near the walkway that are motion equipped so that when someone walks by there break out in Christmas carols and the lights align with the music too...
After Thanksgiving we will do the tree and all the inside decorating, going all out even more than last year... :)
Love holiday decorating... I think that it offers me some type of therapy...
Wow, Stringer! I wondered what that bright arc of lights was in the west after the sun went down. Good thing my bedroom's on the other side of the house!
:) Turn... slowly... to... the... light...Quote:

Stinger, can you please pay me a visit? I'm tired of the redneck christmas lights I put up. Yes, I've been known to use duct tape. :o
I would love to J.Quote:

I'll be out there tomorrow again.
WG... each night that 'glow' should be brighter. :rolleyes::D;)
*putting sunglasses on myself and the cats*
How long will the "glow" last?
Let me check...Quote:

And remember, I have only begun.
AND... you are going to get the full glorious effect as my house faces EAST... :)
The planes going to O'Hare will get confused.
Will you be selling tickets? (although all I have to do is set up a chair in the back yard and look to the west)
Are you mixing the sacred with the secular?
Ooops. Just got a call from my friend in Frankfort, wondering if the Star in the East has reappeared. Or is this the Rapture?
Do what I do every year. Give them Blue Shop Towels. Every one needs them. Every one uses them. Do you realize how many uses you can find for Blue Shop Towels? Limitless. Besides, one of my best friends works at the Blue Shop Towel factory so I get a whole case, at cost. It's a great gift and everyone seems very happy to get them. Plus, you can clean up the big Christmas mess with them. You know someone is going to drink too much Nog and fall out half way to the toilet and just let it rip all over the hall and the wall. No problem. Got Blue shop Towels on hand.
Also, I take them hunting with me. Blue Shop Towels are 100% better than toilet paper. Just don't use them at home. They plug the toilet.
Secular WG, although, that presents an idea for next year in addition to what I already have. I can do half in sacred...Quote:

Mag now that's an idea, practical and useful and since I spent so much already on decorating this is inexpensive too... what an idea, I like ideas! :DQuote:

My kids used to love to go to McDonald's, not only for the Happy Meals but also to be able to drive past a certain house. The owners set up a Christmas display in the yard, on the house, and on the roof that took days to arrange. Every time you drove by, there was new stuff to see. Baby Jesus lay in his manger next to long lines of tall candy canes, Santa hung out near the angel on top of a manger, and drummer boys surrounded camels and wise men (or "wise guys," as my kids called them). Of course, strings of twinkling and flashing lights were draped over and around everything. Depending on weather, the display might last until February or March when it magically changed into Valentine's or St. Pat's displays.Quote:

Actually that was the original diagnosis however the head of surgery at Rush University Medical Center performed what I call a miracle. I have a 4" x 4" piece of titanium and 6 titanium screws in my neck. No discomfort to speak of although I cannot turn my neck as far as I once did and some little nerve damage where I cannot feel anything in an area near my shoulder. However after the first two surgeons told my wife that I could die or be disabled I am indeed grateful.Quote:

Overall though I am doing fine it was seven years ago.
By the way, when someone says that I have 'a screw loose' I do have to check...
