Oh have you seen the one that you put in the freezer and get cold, looks like a glass stick (no the material is not really glass :) ) then you just put it into the white wine bottle before serving and it cools it right to the temp needed for serving.
Good luck finding the chiller! LOL Oh..hmm..have to ask hubs what his ALP is, he has lipomas. Runs in his family it turns out.

No sign of it, even when I braved the messy garage!!
I did google Rocksmith, I watched one song "Walk this Way" it gave me a headache with all that music stuff rolling past haha... Molly is not bothered by noise is she!! :D
Holy mackeral! Had a major ice storm in Toronto yesterday/last night. Woke up to ice on everything!!! I think over 250,000 in Toronto out of power, trees and power lines down everywhere from the weight of the ice.
We still have power obviously and hope we keep it. We'll probably know more if we get the higher winds this evening and still keep power. It doesn't look good if you loose it though, can take days to get it back they are saying. We'll see, I'm hopeful we keep our as our lines are underground (thank you mississauga for the upgrade!) It's the feeder lines though that might get us if they aren't buried.
Molly is not having an easy time of it with all the ice either. I took her to the backyard as there was no way she'd manage the front, I barely could. Her feet sunk through the ice on top of the snow and she was terrified of all the creaking sounds, so sat down, didn't want to move and started shaking. It took much coaxing to get her to do her business, then I carried her back inside. She slept till 10:30am this morning too! Which is not like her, but we were all awake late last night, since youngest daughter and her significant other was out and about delivering cookies to his parents and then decided to grab a coffee and go over to his condo downtown and do some painting. In an ICE STORM! gads girl. I was thinking I might strangle her if she made it home. (they have a place just a few blocks from us). Well, she made it home, I decided not to strangle her after all, but will keep it as an option if she ever does anything like that again! I got 50 extra grey hairs I'm sure.
Anyway, we were all up till around 2am on pins and needles for them to get home safe. Kids. Gonna be the death of me yet.
Anyway, cross fingers we keep power and molly can get in and out a bit at least. I have a crockpot of beef stroganoff going, plan on doing some laundry, just in case, have some wood stacked by the fireplace if the power goes and batteries for the big flashlights. I'm as prepared as can be. Guess we should have bought that generator for the fridge after all.
hugs all
Sharlene and Molly Muffin (icy in Toronto, feel free to google, the pictures are freaky sometimes)
Eek, that sounds terrible. I guess if the power goes you can put the fridge contents in a chilly bin outside!! Gawd I don't know how lucky I am with the weather, I will put up with the odd earthquake to not have to deal with any of that.
Dratted daughter, such a worry aren't they, least you can keep the furry one under control :) Maybe I should say MERRY CHRISTMAS to you now in case you disappear into a power cut! xxx
Hi Sharlene-we've been treating an ear infection on Bailey also. It was beet red a week or so ago. Very nasty looking. We started treating it with medicine left over from an earlier infection and it seems to have taken care of it. I always worry that the baths are the culprits. (my baths of her.)
Your weather sounds really nasty. I'll take some of that stroganoff though!:D
Hugs,
Susan
Did you see the photo on TV of the hawk frozen in the ice storm? I guess he had a broken wing and was just covered in ice. They rescued the poor thing. I think he will be okay.
We had that same ice storm, it was scary. We went through 4 bags of ice melter stuff. Thank goodness I have the sling harness for Zoe or she would have never pooed.
I hope you do not get the nine inches we just got today but I think it might be headed your way:eek::eek::eek:
Hope the reindeer can navigate the ice:p:p:p Oh Santa, Oh Santa;)
Happy, Merry, HO, HO, HO:D:D:D:D
On no! Poor Molly.
Ice is the worst! I hope that you don't lose power either. Things will get cold really quickly if you do. Stay safe and warm.
Merry Christmas!
Oh No I didn't see the bird with the broken wing. I hope it will survive and recover.
I don't even know how much de-icer we have gone through already and have to put more down as it warmed up just enough to cause drips on the driveway, and now that is refreezing and Molly still has to go out tonight for her walkies, not sure how that is going to work out. Arggghhh I have a harness that I lift her with, but it's still tricky and the driveway is sloped downwards, so always a challenge to get up and down in ice. :(
ho ho ho indeed!! LOL
Our power flickered once so far, and came back on, so that wasn't too bad. Mississauga says that they will have power restored by midnight to everyone, but Toronto is saying it could take days for them. Glad we're in Mississauga. So far our roads have been salted and the sidewalk salted and plowed.
I can just imagine how bad that ice will be if we get snow on top of it. Ack!!!!! I know the temperatures are suppose to start dropping tonight and keep dropping through Wednesday at least. I don't see any above freezing temps for awhile in the forecast.
Well, back to wrapping prezzies.
hugs, stay warm and safe everyone

You had an ice storm and we had a heat wave!! 71 degrees today here in Manhattan! Crazy. The news just showed the ice skaters in the park skating at the rink in t-shirts. Dislike! It was impossible to know what to wear outside today...it's not like I'm about to put on shorts in December.
Anyway..I appreciate the info you posted re liver numbers. It scares me a bit...I keep hearing the vets voice saying "well Cushings is under control, so I would have expected the liver numbers to go down".
I'm also curious about lipomas and fatty liver...like Trish mentioned. We will have another blood test done in January..I'll be holding my breath for that one. :confused:
Hope you that treacherous ice is melting!

OH NO, we cannot have you offline for Christmas... c'mon weather gods, leave Sharlene's power lines alone!!!
But just in case....
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO SHARLENE AND MOLLY AND FAMILY!!!
