Send them over here! I have not eaten!!
😆 😆 *imagines Ski’s cry of horror as the Thanksgiving leftovers attack her when she opens the box 3 weeks later *
Glad you had a good time in Austria! Was the weather nice the whole time?
Thanks Spark! It sounds like you had a fun evening.
DM should be very happy…and I hope the poads make it to us in one form or another…

Yes, I found iton Amazon! 😀 I’m waiting till I have something else to order so I can get the free shipping…
Thanks so much! That recipe looks really good. I like your mom’s selection of candied fruit and nuts — I’m going to follow the recipe exactly. 🙂
By the way, what size baking pans does she normally use and how many do you need? It looks like its would fit in a 8″ x 4.5″ loaf pan but I’m not sure…

I’ve done peanut butter before but not cheese and garlic. I’d like to try that too since the dogs seem to love cheese! Would you mind posting your recipe for that?
Good idea! 🙂 What kind of dog cookies did you make?
I make those for my friends’ dogs sometimes (I don’t have a dog)…the last ones I did were apple cinnamon dog biscuits…
I think Arlla wants to actually see it in person before she buys it, because there’s so much color variation between pieces…
That would support the theory that these kinds of abilities run in families, since your dad is an accountant. Are your siblings also math oriented?
Everyone in my family is…and all of us are also non-artistic…

I mean, even with that, that’s somewhere way above and beyond $200,000 per DAY, probably. I think that would be plenty money for them to get their cut, but charging you on how high you want to start your bid? That’s ridiculous. And charging again if your $0.99 item goes up to $999-greedy. If I’m wrong on anything, let me know, but that’s how I understand it works.
I think Ebay is like any other business — they charge as much as they can, to maximize their profits. In the beginning, Ebay might have had to charge less and even operate at a loss just to build up a customer base (kind of like the way Sony is selling the PS3’s at a loss right now so that they can build up a customer base who will buy their software later, which is where they expect to make their money). But since Ebay is now the premier electronic marketplace, they’re in a really strong position, and they can definitely charge more than they “have” to. But of course that would change if/when they have a really strong competitor…look at the way the microprocessor prices have dropped dramatically over the years due to the competition between AMD and Intel…
