They entirely use duct tape to create their gowns and tuxes. They really are quite creative. So for those of you with teen-agers going to prom - get out the duct tape and win a scholarship! Stuck at Prom

How about that purple and green stuff - YUCK! Looks like the kids are eating paint. If you combine that with the new chocolate french fries, it's nearly as bad as watching CSI while you're trying to eat!

I have to concur with this finding! Steaks are meant to be cooked through and through. Sprinkled with garlic salt and seasoning salt....good with a Coors Light. Especially after a week like I've had. Maybe Coors Light should be the main course and the steak could just be on the side.

This is why I rarely ( ) order steak at a restaurant. 1) it takes too long to cook well done and 2)I get embarrassed asking for ketchup.
So, we eat steak at home. My hubby just shakes his head at the ketchup thing and fires up the grill extra early to make sure mine gets done all the way.

Wild Woman? Oh dear! Does my husband know?

Seriously - I guess I have been keeping my form under-wraps if all you know of me is my Unbridled way of giving my opinion!

So - based on the above sentance, can anyone guess what I like to do outside of banking? (Hint - it's not that hard to LEGALLY earn a 5% return on your money in less than 2 minutes - and it has nothing to do with Victoria's Secrets!)

Horse Races??

You hit the win ticket! And yet another banker closet-racing fan!

Anyone out in Kentucky, if you know how I can buy DECENT seats to the Derby, drop me a line. I don't want the Infield, and I don't want the temporary bleacher seats, I want good seats either in the main Grandstand or Clubhouse. (Yes - I'm dreaming and I realize you practically have to inherit those tickets...)

The Derby is one of those "To Do" items in my life. And perhaps we may see a son of the late, great, Seattle Slew win the Derby and TC this year!

The Derby! Also on the "To Do" list in my life! I'm also looking forward to wearing a wonderful hat to the Derby! I may have a connection for you, I'll have to check on that!

That purple and green stuff is GROSS!!!! As for steak - medium-well with A1 steak sauce. mmmmmm---

Hey, I never sneak out early! 5 PM HST, on the nose, every Friday. 5:20 HST is the first martini. :P

I put the lights on a timer, though, in case I get disracted and forget.

There's this banner ad asking me if I'm prepared for IRA season. It's freaking me out. If I'm not prepared, then NOBODY is.

Everybody have a good weekend!

Dawnie, are you still at lunch? I'm outta here--get the lights please.

Make that medium and with Country Bobs all purpose sauce and yeah mmmmmmm---, of course a little Crown, or maybe Baileys, on the rocks afterwards.

Hey! I have some Country Bob's sauce in my cupboard. I was shopping one day and a woman I didn't know asked me if I'd like a free bottle. I said, "Sure!" and she gave me the bottle and a coupon for One Free Bottle of Country Bob's Sauce. Then I took it out of the grocery bag when I got home and thought, "What am I going to do with this?" It's still unopened. But I will have to try it with steak and get over my ketchup fetish. Thanks for the tip!

If it's been setting for awhile, give it a good shake up.

I highly recommend it, but everyone's test is not the same. It's great with pork and chicken also.

Heh Heh...I just got back, left at 11:30. Throws the heck out of my day but it was a fun lunch and after breakfast with the IS geeks...what a relief! (or is that releif? I can't add the spell check...THANKS IS!)

I'm thinking of leaving early...you know, since I haven't been here all day anyhoo...Brian you're on light duty! (no that does not mean you're to work less hard)

My IS tech told me she's moving to Hawaii....muhahahah Brian you hiring? LOL!

Steak...Medium Rare only (but on the rare side of that...I don't like cold blood). No steak sauce for me, I like it cooked in a nice burgandy and served with...you guessed it...a good burgandy. I'm on sledgehammer duty tonight but tomorrow I expect i'll get the steak and burgandy

Monday off ya'll? I love it! Three days of sledgehammer duty!!! I can take down the entire condo by then!

BTW - how many in here suspected that Grist was really Vegan2?

That notion has been mentioned before. Though their end results were the same, they took slightly different paths to get there.

I did and mentioned it in a post. I also corresponded with him directly and he was civil. frankily I think he can offer positive things if he can get over trying to dominate by verbal attack and abuse. I don't understand why its a game with him.

Me, too. There was just something similar/familiar about the two users.

On another note, as one wild woman to another -- wild women rule! (And, yes, I'm certain your husband has figured out you're a wild woman, just as mine has, and finds the trait endearing.)

Hey, Brian in Hawaii -- is that Dr. Who's picture?

Andy, is it just you and me out here? Somebody forgot to turn out the lights.

I think that is just a nite light for those who want to peek in once in awhile.

Whew! Quite the thread. I was gone for a while doing the examiners-in-for-the-exam routine and it was neat catching up this way.

I did want to add to the "Which BOL'ers are pregnant?" question (congrats ExGovtBabe!). Does my wife count? 8 weeks, 4 days and counting...

Congratulations David!

David, we missed you and are glad you're back. Congrats on the baby news!

The BOL family is expanding . . .

That definitely counts! Congratulations

A man who know the week and day of the pregnancy...WOW...I am impressed. My husband would only be able to ballpark it!!
