Dutch Apple Pie (nothing like American Pie)

They have Granny Smith apples in Holland?

you had me at rum soaked raisins! 🙂 ~~~>

RYN: Well being a sponge is a good thing, much different than just going with the flow of things for the hell of it, yeah? I always need visuals hehe 😀 ~~~>

This seems like your kind of journalistic beat: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/05/state-conservative-groups-assault-education-health-tax

hey hope you’re doin’ good and the holidays have been kind to you so far 🙂

R: My netbook did come with a Windows program but it got a virus a while ago and I had to get it wiped. The guy that did it put some type of bootleg version on here so now, every time I turn it on, I get a warning saying my Windows may be counterfeit. I heard that Windows 8 sucks so I’m gonna look for 7 on Amazon.

ryn – nice one!!!!!

this looks good. K and I are planning to try it. 🙂 How much lemon skin? I’m guessing you mean the same thing as lemon zest?

R: I’m not trying to be judging and unforgiving. I just feel defeated in general and it’s easier for me to say “oh, fuck it, he doesn’t care about me” and then move on than to wait and hold on to hope. Yes, I’m neurotic. No, there is no deadline but he is head of IT so I KNOW he got the email and if he was interested, he would have replied- yes, this is in MY crazy head. <br> I don’t like the ball to be in someone else’s court. I’m impatient. I regretted it AS SOON as I sent it. I’m new at this… cut ME some slack 🙁 This sucks for me. I just don’t know how to deal.

ryn: Yeah, I think you’re right. But I stand by the decidability of the “spam diaries” theory. There’s no reason for going months with that theory/excuse without testing it.

ryn: I got a timeout on my bookmarks a few days ago, but it was the only one in the last week.

who says you cant change the family? you can, but only if you change yourself first. Gandhi said “We must be the change that we want to see in the world.” Change starts from self, then family, then world.

RYN: If I’m asked in the interview what ADP stands for, I don’t think I’ll use that definition! Funny, though, and true. When I was HR at the medical billing company, we used them and they totally screwed up costing themselves thousands. Still, they are right around the corner from me and stable…

ryn: I’m sure you’re right. What do you suppose happens if an ASP script times out after it has locked a table but before it releases the lock? Is MSSQL smart enough to undo the lock when it kills the script? My other thought is perhaps he put in too severe timeout restrictions to try to solve other problems and now with the faster hardware they ARE the problem. Is there a way to cleanup zombie locks? What I really wonder is whether somebody is going in and kickstarting it periodically or if the deadlocks go away on their own. Sometimes the constant timeouts appear to be go on for 8 hours at a time. Other times they happen in short spurts.

Hi, how are you? Lovely apple pie recipe here — I would like to try this, though I am not a fan of making the pie crust. Thanks for your note. I am in a manic race after the ever so elusive “love,” aren’t I? I feel lonely, you know. Self-realization is a noble goal. I am trying. I know I am “enough” yet I want companionship. Tough w/out family and with kiddo having left home.

Sounds delish….. And thanks for your notes, and the big one is coming, don’t forget, it’s my way or the highway, and I think it’s gonna be the highway. I’m crazy!!

RYN not a lot really, because I just like the melding of the colours, but occasionally a scene from the night sky will appear!

Thanks… 😉

ryn: It’s a hundred yards. I guess they’re still on the British system, even though the British aren’t any more.

Sounds delicious!

RYN: Ah, life certainly means a whole boat of things ~~~>
