After-Christmas Sales, the Extended Edition (and other odds and ends)

[scatteredlogic]

Since Christmas fell on a Saturday, the local stores are having some after-Christmas sales today and some tomorrow. Usually, all the stores start their after-Christmas sales bright and early at 6 a.m. and the mad rush for bargains is on. But because it fell on a Sunday, some of the stores apparently went, "Meh, Sunday. Too much trouble" and

Oh, yes, you definitely have to let me know if it works. I'll like it if it does, but I suspect there's going to be some drawback: it will be more trouble than it's worth or messier to clean up than just shelling them by hand, or something. There usually is.

Exploding eggs. Hmm. No, I don't think I want to risk exploded hard boiled egg all over my kitchen.

Yeah, I read the directions last night, too. It's the required ice-water bath for a minimum of 10 minutes that did me in. If I just peel the things fairly hot, there's no real problem.

And you're right - I don't want to use an appliance that comes with a troubleshooting section on exploding eggs. ;)

I'm breaking down and going to ask for a g-mail invite. I had to look for three or four e-mails last week that I needed, but had ended up deleting. I was wishing I'd taken you up on that offer before.

[scatteredlogic]

Sure! Just let me know what email addy I need to send the invite to. You just click the link in that email and set it up from there.

Cool. Thanks.

brianna_aisling @ livejournal.com will be fine.

You're welcome. And it's been sent.

*sigh* food chopper. One of the first things I am going to buy once I get my own place. I can't chop an onion without crying so hard I can't see what I am doing anymore.

hp_crimbo has a ton of fantastic drabbles. I read through the whole thing in one day. Your stories were wonderful.

Yay for Bowie marathons. And it's a weekend! I really need to get everybody else out of the living room and watch my newly acquired Bowie DVDs.

Has Gmail added more invites? I was down to three or something, and now I have six again and have no idea what to do with them.

Oh, those little food choppers are great. And no more crying when chopping an onion! ;)

Oh, yes, you have to celebrate - we'll make it a recognized holiday yet! ;)

Yep, they've issued more invites. They're determined to take over the world. ~grin~

Well, they already took over the searching world, they might as well get the emailing world too. ;-)

It was the going public. They have to make a profit now. lol

The stores here were open bright and early at 7 AM on Sunday morning. My mom and I didn't get out until about 11 AM, however. The stores were hardly busy at all and we didn't have to wait on any lines. It was kind of weird. I mean we were on the busiest shopping mile in town. I have no idea where everyone was.

I love cutting vegetables by hand with a knife. I find it very relaxing to cut things such as onions into tiny teenie little pieces. But I know many a person who adores their food chopper.

Hmm, well, I don't know where everyone was, but it was good for y'all that they stayed away. ~grin~ More bargains just for you!

Really? I'm in the "adores the food chopper" category. I never manage to get everything diced to my satisfaction by hand. But the food chopper? Bssssttt. And that's it. LOL

Thank you. I'm glad that you liked The Best Revenge.

Would you mind terribly if I friended you?

Not at all. I'll friend you back.
