Lavabe, you're having a busy morning. Your name is on almost every thread on the front page. Very wilsonesque of you.

I tend to go the devildeac/Tilly/CathyCA approach and string together a bunch of consecutive posts.

I call it stream of consciousness posting.

6,000 is going down TODAY!!

Woo-hoooooooo!

[TillyGalore]

My neck hurts every once in a while. But I do have a long neck. I had to switch to the thinnest of pillows a few years back because of it.

I have duck filled pillows on my bed, and try to make sure that my neck is adequately supported every night to prevent this exact situation.

...Creve Coeur...

That's not accurate. Literally without understanding the context/connotation, you're technically correct. However, most folks understand it as "Broken Heart."
See the welcome sign on this link:

The history behind the name is discussed in the final paragraph of this link:

Burst heart? Does that make it a good town for cardiologists?

We have little, if anything, to offer for a "burst heart."

In fact, I did that so much this week that I didn't even notice when I went over 500 posts.

Oh no... I am rapidly approaching 1,000. Does that mean I have to post something special on the MilesStones thread? [/quote]

You posted a nice commemorative pic over there.

[CathyCA]

Now that devildeac is up, 6,000 is going down THIS MORNING!!

I also have some work to do over at Dad's house for the final touches in the process of preparing it to be listed with a real estate agent.

Will you stage the house?

Okay an American might have had a hand in styling the US version, but there is little good to say about this car. Other than it took the power drops fairly well and was the first car I had that had a tach.

butt fugly...

(the car, Ymo, the car... :roll: )

[CathyCA]

Somebody's gotta wake up BONES so we can see a magnificent race to #1000...

He's got his kids this weekend. Busy time away from the computer.

[CathyCA]

I just finished my breakfast of fresh peaches, vanilla yogurt, granola, and pecans. Yummy. Still working on my requisite 2 cups of coffee.

YUM! I'm going over to your house for breakfast!

Clarification: I said many, not all, French cars are beautiful.
Some of them are quirkily so, such as the 1960s/70s Citroëns:

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

And the more beer you hold, the more beautiful he/she (or it) gets... :roll:

Arkie: In unincorporated Creve Coeur: Jewish Deli/Food Store: Kohn's. You can't get there with public transport, BUT you can find some of their specialty items in either Dierberg's or Schnuck's (I can't remember which one or both).

I'm going to be in Creve Coeur from 10:30-12:30 for the camera class. Maybe I can check it out. Any recommendations?

The knishes are great... and a bit different from east coast knishes. I'm normally not a meat knish fan, but I like theirs (I also like their potato knish). The deli will definitely be good for take out. IIRC, good pickles. I believe you can get some pastrami and corned beef there. I do NOT know their hours (if any) on Saturday. Definitely look up for their hours and for directions (it's a little off Olive on the way to the Jewish Center).

What I WILL suggest you do is go to the Bagel Factory (on Olive) and also the Jewish sit down place, PUMPERNICKLE'S (also on Olive). In fact, Pump's has not only some of the best matzah brei (scrambled eggs and matzah) and OTHER Jewish soul food, but it also has a mini-deli. If you're into scrambled eggs and salami (or pastrami or corned beef), you'll have hit paradise. Good latkes, brisket, and whatever. I don't know about their matzah ball soup. I expect a report on the Jewish Soul Food thread.

The Bagel Factory is a small bagel shop, but some of the best bagels you'll find in St. Louis. As today is Saturday, you must get the requisite fresh tomatoes from the UCity Loop Market, and put some on a Bagel Factory bagel with some cream cheese.

Pump's has a web site. They changed owners last October, but the quality is still good. They're also located on Olive.

More crossed threads. . .

Did I really hit 6,000? Oh, there were 5,999 replies. Duh...you would think a reasonably experienced PW would pickup on that.

And you wanted to admit defeat...

Congrats. I'll have to wait for a chance at #7000. Heck, the way the posting rate is going here, that might be late this afternoon... :oops: :roll:

Something special is required by Coach K for #1000.

[CathyCA]

And the winner is Ymo. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

YAY! Congratulations!

For me, it's simple-minded PWing... :oops: :roll:

My cats were born in Massachusetts and grew up in Massachusetts. I wonder if they will only consider Massachusetts home?

Cat #1 born in Vermont, lived in Massachusetts and North Carolina.

Cat#2 born in NC, lived in NC

Cat#3 born in Alabama, lived in Alabama and NC

Wonder what my cats will call "home".

Giggles!

I also have some work to do over at Dad's house for the final touches in the process of preparing it to be listed with a real estate agent.

Will you stage the house?

Sort of. We will leave most of the furniture there and buy some simple slip covers for the big pieces and some simple bed spreads and pillows for the bed room furniture. We have left a few of the shelves and wall hangings in place.

[YmoBeThere]

I'm busily staging my life...

[devildeac]

Time for a shower. I'm covered with sweat, dirt, dust and insect repellent...

Then, lunch...

Good luck! I hope you get a nice buyer.
