Bahahaha!!! That is one of the funniest things I've read in my entire life!!!

When I was actually sent that one I laughed out loud!!!! I don't laugh out loud to too many jokes! Glad you liked it!

[FallenPixels]

I don't knit CLB but I will happily pay someone who does to make me some

[FallenPixels]

See how much they love them? I have bought others since but they don't get the same reaction from them

[Momto2Ks]

hmmmm I am very curious to see who thinks I am buying for them based on thread chatter lol !!!..... ok buddy if you have a dh or bf what size are their feet ? and do they where ankle socks ?

My husband wears a size 13 shoe- but isn't a fan of ankle socks

oh and besides English do you speak or read any other language ?

I used to speak/read French but haven't used it in 10+ years so it is pretty sketchy.

I've spent the last couple days making jam....and by the looks of my kitchen, I will still be at it for a couple days

buddy as an extra would you like any of these:
-blueberry jam
-blueberry lime jam
-strawberry banana jam
-strawberry rhubarb jam
-very berry jam (not sure if I offered this one awhile back)

I am also overrun with herbs from my garden at the moment -if you use any of these and would like some let me know, I will gladly include as extras
-dried chives
-dried oregano
-dried parsley
-dried basil
-dried sage
-dried dill

Would love any of the dried herbs or these jams: -strawberry banana jam
-strawberry rhubarb jam
-very berry jam

do you have a wii game system and if so would you like controllers or rechargable remote docking station ? I dropped my wii and it broke

That really sucks. Yes we have a Wii and would definitely make use of any accessories.

Hi guys just hopping on for a second. These floods are awful. My brother in law was working disaster relief in High River, An and is now missing. I have a cousin and his family in Cochrane and no one has heard from them. We are under a local state of emergency right now and are close enough to the river that we could be evacuated. I will catch up when i can.
On the plus side all I have left to do is the homemade gifts.
Think dry thoughts for me everyone!

Glad all is well with you and the other members from Southern Alberta. I have been glued to the tv/news/internet feeds for the most part of the day...

[Momto2Ks]

Ok- I NEED help... I attempted to make jam and when it set it is SUPER hard. Is there any way to save this?

[CouponLadybird]

have you tried re-heating it and adding more liquid (water/juice) then re setting?

[Momto2Ks]

Haven't tried anything yet. How mic liquid should I add? Should I use water or juice?

I made triple berry, strawberry and peach jam.

This is likely the result of trying to make jam with 5 kids underfoot!!!

[CouponLadybird]

I would start with very little water (say 1/4 cup per 7-8 cup batch). Jam can be reheated and reset numerous times and still turn out ok. I would take a little out of the pan when reheating, and put it in a cup ( 1/4" or so) and let it cool completley (stick it in the fridge to speed things up)....check the texture. If ok bottle again and process. If it is still to hard, I'd add another 1/4 cup and repeat

[juliejolie]

My thoughts are with those affected by the floods Hope everyone is safe.

Today has been a long day, thank you all for keeping Calgary in your prayers! It's gone as fa as medicine hat now.....poor alberta! The silver lining though is that the Alberta government will be stepping in to help out people who lost homes and helping rebuild!!!!... I had been sick to my stomach since I heard of and saw the first home swept into the creek, I can't even imagine how the home owners feel from one minute being a home owner and the next minute havkng nothing, So im very thankful to have a government who is taking care of this, I don't always have a great deal of good to say about our government, but I'm very proud of them today for all they have done and promised to do for Calgary.

DH wears size 10-11 shoes but does not wear ankle socks

French although with my memere and pepere passed away we dont speak as much anymore (they were from france) and as for reading i can make it out

I am currently single.....speak/read French...English was my second language...now I am loosing French as I rarely use it....

I've spent the last couple days making jam....and by the looks of my kitchen, I will still be at it for a couple days

We LOVE jam in our house and i am always looking for dried herbs and spices

We have 2 Wii's so controllers/docking station would be used well

See how much they love them? I have bought others since but they don't get the same reaction from them

It is horrible...here no wheres close but they were showing houses with 10+ inches of water and sewage ...cars were stalled on the streets as ppl went under the underpass and the water was up to the windows.....sad thing our city is not going to be helping with the damage or clean up as they said it (rain) came to fast and there was no possible way the water/sewage systems could handle it ppl without insurance ?? and those with were saying their insurance only covers 20% ....yikes apparently it is hard for certain areas to even get flood insurance .....just not right

I did get my buddy 1 gift today
