Now when I'm at work, my kindle's Alexa will display my kid's activity on her echo dot at home. 

On Niki's recommendation, I got her a JBL charge 3 speaker for the echo dot, and the sound is awesome! 

Alexa is also in my car. 

Man if alexa can cook, I'd marry her. She sounds fun!

1- <sigh>

2- it's the thought my dear Niki...see, watch.....oh hey Nik, would you guys like to join us for Thanksgiving dinner? 

Okay but the thought was, it's way too far for anyone to travel, so i would never ask someone to put out the money for thanksgiving dinner..... See I'm being considerate in NOT asking you to turn me down.

Now how much you wanna make a bet that stretch handed the shotgun to hillbilly and told him to go get a turkey. But the hillbilly was like "I'm a lover, not a killer". And so now stretch is out back with the shotgun looking for el turkey...

Maybe she's looking for a rooster?

That reminds me. 

The couple that had the emergency engagement party? Turtle is the flower girl for? 

 

1- they have little cash

2 they want fancy wedding, 650 guests.

3 groom's dad paying

4 groom's dad wants to choose location

5 bride no like

6 asked us if we'd go to the wedding if it was in Jamaica. 

 

Me, to them...

1- wanna choose location? You pay. 

2- you're looking to save money, but you're asking 600 guests to spend thousands each. 

3- I'd rather give you a thousand to not go.

That kid's edition kindle is useless I tell ya...

 

He seems to master ipads and the xbox just fine, so maybe just the regular Fire or something?  I need to look into the options a little better.

[SAT 9,609]

I'd go with the regular ad-free kindle HDX.

Fire HDX

I'm thinking of asking hubs if he wants to gift the kiddo our surface pro 4 for xmas... 

[SAT 9,609]

I was so flustered today that I forgot to get my mother a birthday cake. 

Thanksgiving Eve, the bakeries are packed. 

Sent someone from office to go get me a cake just now lol. 

And 1 for tomorrow...

Pricey and hand-me-down vs. Less expensive and new.

Anyone have tips for getting rolled out pie dough from the table into the pie tin? I think the only thing I haven’t tried is selling my soul to the devil and that deal is looking intriguing since my pie crusts are always Picasso’d together....

Just seeing this now and probably too late but, I fold mine in half and depending how flaky I make then fold it in half again easier to pick up and unfold that way.

Are you kidding? Do we ever have the right person. As we speak, she's in Big Rock Arkansas baking her brains out. 

It's none other than Stretch. You know her as the meanest nastiest mod on VJ, 

Ontarklar. 

Bah I was done baking pies this morning. I was cleaning and making supper.

No I didn't get a turkey this year. If I had another smaller coop I could get a turkey next year. I have a 24lb one in the fridge waiting for tomorrow. 

Oh and I'm still rooster free. The last of the baby chicks I got are now 15 weeks old and no roosters

Starting soon 20 eggs a day 

 

[SAT 9,609]

Ok...legendary math time...

20 eggs a day, what's that about 2 dozen? 

At 3 dollars a dozen, that's 5 dollars a day. 

In 200,000 days, you'd have exactly 1...million dollars!

Woohoo!...

I didn't adjust for inflation. 

That would be...calculus. 

[Ontarkie 14,383]

I'll probably have more chickens between now and then

Fire HDX

 It seems like the HDX is discontinued?  The HD 8 seems like a good value.  My husband has an Amazon phone with the ads, I can see why ads wouldn't be good with kids

[SAT 9,609]

The "X" = display. 

They call it HD Display now.
