Any new potential watch acquisitions in near future? I blew my piggy bank last Summer but still have visions of “sugarplums dancing through my head”. Lol

Take Care!

It would be nice to see the ladies get this going again.

[JTL31]

I’m game...but I can’t start a decent thread to save my soul!
Maybe that’s why I never took to online dating...

I got the watch fever :) and hanging around TRF makes it only worse

I'm not really good at starting threads, but since it's a coffeshop talk, how about we talk coffee?

What's your favorite brand? Do you buy beans? Regular or espresso?

We've recently tried coffee from the black rifle, and the BB and SS are very tasty and smooth, low acidity.
Blue mountain from marshal's or tjmax is pretty smooth and oh so cheap.

With espresso, I prefer lavazza beans (black bag), but my machine really likes the starbucks beans too.
open to suggestions though :)

With my crazy life, everything in boxes crying to get out... I'm lucky to have Maxwell House!

A friend gave me a Keurig machine which I’ve used daily since last May. Starbucks Pike Place k-cups or Caribou med. roast are great. I like to mix in a little cinnamon & light cream for that coffee shop experience. Love lattes & mochas too.

* Cecilia love the pic!! Kinda like a “George Burns” in stilettos. You’re the old timer here, membership wise, so we’ll look forward to your WISdom.
* SG56 is that YOU riding that bike? At my height & with my skills I’d be safer on a Lil’ Tykes “Big Wheel”. Lol
* D M are you getting settled in a new place?

Ok...that might keep us going for a little bit. Cheers!

[SG56]

Try Melitta classic blend. It's ground and tastes great!

I’m impressed
Am afraid I’d go splat! The handlebars on my ‘bicycle’ had to be adjusted after a cervical fusion & pinched nerve in my arm. How ‘bout I live vicariously through you!! How long you been riding?

Yup, it’s gotta be GOOD coffee for my tastebuds since I limit myself to 1nice cup a day.

Hey JTL31 - I'm restoring my house status post hurricane Matthew 2016. Long journey. Insurance company claim nightmare.

SG - I'll try the Melitta brand. Maybe it will set better re: acid.

And No, SG, not everyone can't practice makes perfect on a biker like that!! One person in the world can't, and that's me!

Not by a long shot.
Sure have learned about what makes the world go round, though.

We retired, but I'll try the track in a car now! I'll let you know how it goes.

Track riding, full 10 years. And I mean gone 3 out of 4 weekends in summer.

We retired almost exactly a year ago after my husband got hurt pretty badly.

I plan on doing ladies only day beginning of July, but we're officially retired.

Oh, I can imagine a nightmare. And I'm sure plenty of others are trying to do the same, so getting contractors is not easy either.
How far along are you in the process?

Yep, try the Melitta. If you don't like it, I'll buy it off from you

....just found the 2007 PC Mag Award of the Year Letter post by 'abigsecret', and she has had no activity since May 2012. That letter was hysterical.

Isn't this thread where you met Michelle?

Abigsecret changed her name to Vanessa. The watchmaker who recently retired.

OMG...again, soooo sorry to hear you’re going through all this. How much of your sanity is nearing completion?
Where have you been residing during the restoration process?

What is sanity, pray tell?

House was livable (camping style) until restoration began, then whole house packed up in pod and garage, gave away 3/4 furniture, retreated to bonus room, and one week escape from suffocating paint fumes to Best Western. Not over yet.

I don't know the whole story and this saddens me to read.
I'm no expert, but maybe reach out to MS community in your area.

I've almost lost my husband on today's date a year ago, and he's happy to be around. There are many things you can still do or point your direction to explore another topic.

I wish i had more time to do all things i want to do and read about.

Pick an area and become an expert in it!!!!!
