Good morning Ms. Alisyn,

Friday’s finally here.

I have a question if I may. Do you have any idea of, on average, the number of hits the Greenroom gets?

I also notice that each day another of the old most hit blogs gets bumped off the list and that days blog takes it place. 

It will also be interesting to see how an open weekend will work out.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the kids.

chas

Good Morning Alysin and Chas….:)

I make this meat roll that people think odd, but it is tasty.

The short version is you make a meatloaf and then spread it out in a large flat square. Then you layer ham, spinish, cheese on it.

Next you roll it up like a jelly roll and bake it in a 350 oven until done. Time depends upon tase and amount of meat. 3lbs takes about 1.5 hours.

Sounds odd, but looks cool as the swirls in the middle show and taste really good.

chas
ps, you can have my covered bacon, I like the bacon but have no use for sweets.

Good morning Ms. Virginia.

chas

Good morning Ms. Alisyn,

Not that I have anything against Jenna Bush getting married….(good for her). But how much is this wedding costing the US tax payers? Secret Service, etc.????

I have another question? How does a guy like me, 43 year old CAD Technician, get a chance to talk to a woman like Lilian Garcia from the WWE? She is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen (next to you of course) in my life! Any answers?

Pat

Alysin and Chas….where did Marshall go? I went to yesterdays spot just two seconds before this new question was ask..still sipping first cupa, so the typing is slow!!!

I enjoy penut butter and banana sandwiches and chedder cheese with apple pie. I first tried it with my grandfather while having desert and at first I thought it was gross, but once I tried it I immediately thought it was quite tasty.

Have a sparkling weekend.

Laurie

Hey! Hey! Hey! And TGIF!!!!!

You are lookin’ good on this Friday morn! I saw that chocolate covered bacon and that just doesn’t float my boat. In fact, I almost barfed just looking at it! Hmmmm…….strangest food I’ve tried……. Well, there was that time I went on a wild Spam hunt at the Piggly Wiggly.

Just last weekend for the after prom – I was asked to make bacon wrapped smokies. Pork wrapped in pork and stuck with a toothpick. So, three pounds of bacon and hundreds of smokies later. (you cover them in brown sugar and bake for 35 mintues). You have all these little greasy things. I thought I should taste one just to be sure they were ok. WELL – they were delicious and I couldn’t leave them alone.

I’ve been on school trips as a chaparone – we’ve never received any instructions – we never got certain kids we were assigned too. We go to be there for our own kids. Fortunately, there has never been a problem…but we didn’t let them drink and I wouldn’t want that responsibility for someone else’s child.

Alisyn – we LOVE you! Have a great weekend.

Pat….good morning. The wedding doesn’t cost the tax payer anything. The people around the family to protect them work everyday regardless. The president is allowed a life outside of his duties as the president, so the children may go to school, and the mall, and a job, and get married. This question has been ask by others, and it always surprises me. A better question would be, how much did we pay to have Jimmy and Nancy and other fools traipse around the world with a questionable agenda tucked in their hat.

If this is Match Maker Friday, tell us about that Fox Business Channel babe. What’s her story and how does she feel about lecherous older men?

I make this concoction for my daughter Alisyn

Add to small Blender
I/2 cup of chocolate fudge
Four bananas
Quarter cup of soft whipped peanut butter
Fill to top with Vanilla Ice Cream
Blend to smooth.
You can also boost flavor with a teaspoon of Vanilla extract
And a dab of honey.
Calories are off the scale but anything worth eating is:

Ali- Have a great weekend. Blackhawk Chris

Alliblogers,

I just posted and it went to the DBB. I must be on someone “S” list. BTW, stop F5ing. Refresh using the Ying-Yang symbol to the right of the address bar.

Will Penny

I tried to make that Elvis peanut butter and banana sandwich from a recipe I found on the internet. I must have done something wrong because that was a soggy mess and made me want to sing All Shook Up.

Good morning again…ah! Coffee, yes. And sleepy head for sure. I watched Burn Notice last nite, so didn’t actually go to sleep until after midnight…that’s my excuse and I am stickin tuit!!!
One can eat bacon and peanut butter with anything. My friends have been totally yukked out by my combinations, untill they ventured a bit…with wide eyes of deliciousness and stunned that it would be good. I think my mom was very inventive, what with the traveling and the depression years also, when there was little to sustain at times.

Good Morning Alisyn, and Bloggers,

I missed the letter written by the students of Lake Crystal. Perhaps fellow bloggers can point me in the right direction??????

Chas, I hate to be a nit picker, LOL but your economic comparisons of the Clinton administration and the Bush administration, on face, seems inaccurate. Of course you didn’t site exactly what years, stats, etc you were comparing and there are thousands of ways to slice up the math.

I know my republican hubby who is a vice president of a fortune 300 company wishes he could channel Clinton back to the white house. ( He is in the builder cabinet business …. new home starts). LOL So that is saying something. ! I wouldn’t mind it either ..;-) Those bonuses were pretty nice!

Peace out all enjoy your day!

Curses, foiled again.

I tried re-posting my first post and got (what I call) the “Go to Hell- Its looks like you have already posted.”

That is why I have taken to writing in Word first. Just because I self-disclosed that I was classified as MR 40 plus years ago Will not deter MR Penny.

Alli, I request you take out a can of “Whup-Ass” (ask Steve for one – I believe POTUS gave him some on 42408) on those web page mavens.

Digital Love from an angry and frustrated,

Will Penny

Awwww, I forgot… About the dog owner who was sued. If the owner does not obey a leash law (assuming there is one) and the dog damages someones car, the owner is responsible, right? Blackhawk Chris

Ms. Alisyn,
Despite al the bacon receipes, here’s a secret worthy of news.
Billary will be hee in southern WV today, School kids wll be forced out in the rain to make a crowd, along with some of the “old dog” Democrats, and people who will never again get such a thrill to see the former Prasident. To hear a speech of promotion for his wife.

I just wonder, if bacon and jelly would be a good meal for the former President?

Have a good day.

Alisyn, peanut butter on white bread and a glass of Chardonnay, good combo.
Sal

I don’t think a 13 pound dog could do much damage and I bet the guy was speeding so that would speak to a shared negligence in the dog’s death. I want to see pictures of the accident scene with measurements of skid marks, any nearby stop signs or traffic lights. I think this case could be turned around and the guy will regret ever bringing this frivolous lawsuit!!!!!

Hi everyone…I have to read fast! Anything covered in chocolate must be good? Oh yes, I am sure of that…it must be so. Pork of any sort can be fixed with just about anything, just use the imagination, and have fun. Chas…I have done this with the meatloaf, and one can continue to layer until the fridge is empty of any this or that which may be lurking in the corners…yummmm! Everyone likes it, and I some times don’t tell what I have done, so as not to get a premature desicion (someone tell me how to spell this word!! geezzz!) regarding the tast buds. One must be very inventive with all those kiddies and not always as many dollar bills as one might think they needed…as it happens, a needless worry as their was always just exactly what was needed, as promised. Yep…..for sure! lol

Good Morning Alisyn and Friends.
Sal

Good morning Sal….and also a nice midnite snack when one just can’t go to sleep exactly and hungry for something…yes, many times…with a little mayo added, yummmy for the tummy for absolutely!! This is making me hungry for all things peanute butter and chocolate!!!

Virginia, regarding the wedding of the president’s daughter, I totally agree with you on your reply. I wanted to reply myself, but you couldn’t have said it better.

Have a great day.
Laurie

Will…what did you hit instead of F5? I didn’t understand…lol

Alisyn…good morning! Where is this letter from the kids you mention? I have F&F taping as I missed the first hour already. Perhaps it’s something that was read on the air or is this a letter you posted somewhere on the Fox website?

About weird food combinations. We thought this was the weirdest thing when it was suggested to us, but it’s really good actually. Take your favorite brand of Salt and Vinegar potato chips and you use canned creamed corn for your “dip”. Don’t knock it till you try it. It’s pretty amazing.

Good morning everyone! Have a great Friday.

Laurie…this question has been ask, in not very nice terms, a zillion times, and I am always astonished! It is amazing that people forget he is also a citizen, and the presidency is his job. They are watching him brush his teeth practically…geeezzzz!!! But, anything to gotcha the guy by some who just can’t ge over it. Not you Pat…just those that are sooooooooo ready to slam him about everything. They see nothing wrong with the Rush issue and the senate taking up time to threaten him, while our soldiers are fighting a war! What a group they all are, and no wonder their numbers are in the toilet!!! I am thrilled for our president, and I hope they have a joyous time at this wedding for their most precious daughter, and I pray for their happiness and a very good life. They deserve this moment for sure. I would have quite and gone home if a group of people were so absoultel mean and hateful at every turn…yes, I would!!!!

Sheila,

Your recipe cracks me up! LOL That is a crazy combo, but after being on a NO JUNK FOOD “health plan hahah” for 4 months it sounds delicious! LOL

Good morning Sheila…yes, it would be. Potatoes and corn are good, so this would be good. I think one must stretch their imagination, and not get tooooo tanlgled up in the packaging. lol

I am on a “S” list and I don’t mean special. I just tried re-re-posting my first entry and got the GTH message from Word Press. I wrote another posting sans Word and it went to the DBB.

About this point I start to lose my sense of humor and interest.

WP

Gee Ms. Alisyn,

Is the number a F&F Top Secret?

chas

Let’s see…Peanut butter spread on a banana makes a good snack, especially before hitting the gym. Then there was the time I tried dunking a chocolate biscotti cookie in a glass of merlot. Don’t ask me why I did it, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted! Oh, Virginia, my mom used to make us peanut butter and bacon sandwiches for dinner on occasion. They were very good!

Ms. Lori,

I was stating, if memory serves, on my own personal circumstances. Prior to this downturn, and actually even during it I have more of my pay in my pocket and enough to actually have a savings account.

And my income to living cost remains close to the same as it was then.

So like most I “slice it” based upon my situation.

chas

Anyone watching F&F right now. They just showed a clip of Alex Baldwin’s interview saying that he may consider one day running for office. LOL grief. Heck, why not? Everyone else seems to think they can do it. It’s becoming like the Idol show, a popularity contest only? but no, that would make no sense as I had not seen nor heard of Obama until this election. either I’m sheltered or he was basically a no body.

Oh,,,,my smiley lines are in place and I blush a bit…good morning to you also Alysin, and Marshall is here, finally, as well as the rest of the group! And we are ready for the day, and you do look beautiful, to no surprise….:)

Will,

I don’t know what GTH and DBB means but maybe the post you are tying to enter is too large? Or if there is a screen on this site, maybe one of the words, or names in your post is tossing you out???? Maybe? Just a thought.

Good Morning

If Obama is elected what cabinet seat will Resko be given? Has anyone found out where the donation money went and in whos name it was given?

Have a wonderful weekend

Good morning everyone.
Am I the only one who doesn’t like either pork or sugar?

Frozen chocolate covered bananas on a stick are good.

I just have to get something off my chest.

The music being played during your news segment – reminds me of some of the background music from Fight Club.

Is it 5:00 yet……….

No Dog, while I like pork I have no use for sweets.

chas

Will there be any musical guest on the AtSS today?

RE: Chas, ok gotcha. I knew you weren’t trying to mislead your fellow bloggers.

As our personal income rose during the Clinton administration obviously our tax bill did as well, the extra 2500 Bush’s tax cut gave us was negated because we lost the ability to “claim our children” due to our income level sooooo not so much of an advantage to us if I based my opinion JUST on taxes paid.

Sheila…it’s on, but, I was so excited about Alysin saying Hi to me, I missed It!!!!!! Alec Baldwin could do this, couldn’t he? He saved the world and got the sub as I recall..yep, he did. Wasn’t that a documentary??? Oh dear, maybe it was a movie, and he thinks he is now tooled and ready for the job. That must be it, and as we have watched Alec, I am sure he thinks that just might qualify him too. Sure…if he doesn’t leave the country, as threatened…like we thought he would ever choose that. Although, I am sure he doesn’t scare me at all…considering our choices at this moment, we could just do a write in campaign for him, and then not worry about it at all…he could get his writers to script the next four years….yes, that would also be an excellent plan. IF we have decided to ditch “the judge” and Tony Snow, that is, my recent write in plan that got absolutely no notice. I had Alysin in Nancy’s spot, and it would have to be better, as I have never seen Alysin chewing and blinking…and she would be smart and pretty all at once!!!!!

I like pork sausage on a biscuit with apple jelly. So, I guest I like both pork and sweets, but I don’t want a chocolate covered pork chop.

chas, can’t remember if I said anything yesterday or not, but I did visit your site. thanks for pointing it out. The front picture just grabbed me. My son, who is a history buff, walked behind me and said “where did you get that picture? what’s it of?” He had me bookmark it so he can reference later. It looks like a very important project. Thank your wife for us.

Back to the topic of the day… chocolate and pork. I have to admit I have never tried the chocolate and bacon thing, however, I do like sausage with syrup. Has anyone tried Goetta? It’s a sausage type food that is really common here, but most people have never heard of it. It’s very good fried and we eat it with syrup. Weird, but tasty.

I also lost my kids deduction not long ago, but some of the bills went away with them…lol

I call that a win/win.

chas

I thought Alec was supposed to leave the country after Bush was re-elected. What is holding him back?

P.S. Weirdest food to great effect: haggis and scotch (single malt not a blend)

Big headline on Fox about the Myanmar relief effort. The government there just confiscated the food the UN sent over. what’s up with that? The UN needs to be dissolved, but that’s besides the point here. I feel for the good people there that need help but what can you do when it never gets to them? Make drops at night?

my daughter enjoys mustard with her scrambled eggs.

did not post the arrows I inserted. I am annoyed. Two great missives and those turds at Word Press nuc’ed them.

Will Penny

Chas: LOL well my children didn’t leave, just the tax deduction did.. LOL

Shelia, I have had scrapple, is that close to the pork dish you are referring to?

The Democratics are destroying their party by backing a man that has no experience and shows bad judement, if they want the American people to support Obama and his anti American associates, their crazy, Clinton should take it to the Democratic convention, she is the better candidate, and she can win, you cant go to the convention with 48 States, and you have to count Florida and Michigan, or the American people would have no other choice other then to vote for McCain.
Sal

alisyn,

Sorry to bother you. Some of the children from Brian’s soccer team did not get to see the after the show show video. Is there any way to view it on the web site.

Thanks so much!!!!

Ah! All things sweet, and it is even better if it is junk sweet…that would be all the funny little things like, the big candy peanuts, the little chicks at Easter, the huge bag of sugar jellies…yes, sooooo yummy. You are missing out Chas!!! :) Mother’s day! Geezzz, I forgot..it is upon us, again. My co-worker ask me once how come I didn’t weight three hundred pounds as she watched me stuff my mouth with all this yummy candy. No fat…zero I discovered, which made it all the more good…despite the sugar content. Yep! YUMMMM to the max! Once I am over the event of much stuffing, however, I don’t want any more for a while. I also prefer my hershey chocolate bar in the one pound version. The heck with the bite size or the regular size bar. Let get tuit if the chocolate is the craving!!!! And a bottle of Merlot to go with it!!!!!!!!! Another midnite snack that satisfies the tummy. Yep…life is good for sure. lol The cursor is all over the place, again! It must be the puter ghost at work again………..:)

Lori, I have no idea what scrapple is? We have that brand in a drink here. let me see if I can find a link for the goetta. The best brand is Gliers. Homemade stuff is not the same and neither is this low-fat version they are starting to sell. You have to try the real stuff. OK, the web address is goetta dot com. The opening picture shows the new packaging which is in sausage looking rolls. If you ever get a chance to try it though, it’s best in the bulk form which is cut in a “brick” block form.

Anyone know where this student letter is located that Alisyn is mentioning?

Jenna Bush getting married….good for her and good for them for keeping it private.

Happy Mothers Day Alisyn.
Sal

Good morning Sal…oh yes they can. The interesting part will be, will they? We watch and wait to see how they handle this. Hillary would be the better of the two…less scary, but only marginally. Her agenda is also a socialist/Marxist bent, but, her main agenda is Hillary, so since that be the case, I tend to be less afraid of her. No one likes the Alec plan? or the judge and Tony and Alysin plan? Oh well…..I thought it surely was the solution to all our woes!!! lol

The only food combinations i know are bacon with more bacon and pork with lots of gravy. By the way, Alisyn , you looked terrific in the ATSS thur with that slit skirt. Now that’s a tasty combination.

Sheila….I love your posts. They are smart, and informed and well written. I am challenged to keep up with you!!! I noticed your comment yesterday, so I thought I would just tell you…NOT at all. You are excellent in every area and I wait to see what you might be musing at the moment…yes, I do! lol

Weird food combinations = a co-workers swears by dill pickle and peanut butter sandwiches. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m curious.

Thanks Ms. Sheila and thanks for the reminder.

If I may do a short post on a project for our guys called Quilts Of Valor. The link which you can get to by clicking on my name, will explain it much better than my poor abilities at writting could accomplish.

The short version is this. Most of our guys who are wounded in battle do not come right home. Thaey are sent for treatment in Germany until they are well enough to return home.

During this stay these ladies, which includes my wife, make patriotic designed quilts that the guys are given.

These quilts are well received by the guys all of which are sent with a letter of thanks for their service.

Please check out their site as these are all doing this on their own and any help, be it material, money or other support would be helpful.

Thank you one and all for you time.

respectfully,

P.S. I could have been to large, but I have posted larger. See yesterday’s recap of my missives explaining the inevitability of the Clinton-Obama ticket.

Good Morning,

I am just trying to make a little sense of the tragedy in Myanmar. After hearing the death toll of over 100,000, the images that I have seen do not show the bodies. Immediate images from the Tsunami showed bodies everywhere, and for weeks afterwards. I am not doubting there were deaths, but I do question the amount. Is this the reason the Junta will allow other relief organizations in, but only allow supplies. What do you think.

Have a good one,

Todd

Rocco and his mother are cooking on F&F. I think we have lost Alisyn for the day. You know she is going to be hanging out with the food!!

I am surprised no one has mentioned combining bacon with peanut butter. mmmm….
I thought it sounded strange the first time I heard of it, but then tried it and it is good. In Hawaii pork and peanut butter are combined a lot. It is good.

Now we know that chocolate and bacon go together, and Reese’s long ago proved chocolate and peanut butter go together, so maybe combining the three together would be good. Bacon wrapped Reeses’ peanut butter cups anyone?

I clicked on last nite and it is a very worthy endeavor for sure, and although I have heard about this, I will now participate in it….another little thing that has happened while being laid up with this ankle. What was just an interesting and worthy endeavor calls me to do more. I guess it was time to be gone from the world of TLC twenty four seven? Well….God could have thought of a different heads up method. Perhaps he did, and I wasn’t listening? Probably!!! I am listening now for sure…geezzzz!!!!! Hello Virginia!!!!!!! I be listening, ok? No more weird events, pleeeaaassseeee dear Lord!!!!!! :):):) Yikes!!!

Alisyn,

Could you post the three things that the Resume expert listed? I only caught the last two. Thanks. You guys are great!!

Oh Mike…I think it has been mentioned, but, if not it surely should be added to the list of all things yummmy! lol

Fellow bloggers:

I am a life long dem and a former delegate, and happen to live in Michigan, after moving from Texas recently.

It was announced a year ago our delegates would not be seated because Michigan had chosen to move it’s primary date. There were no campaigns, no signs, no tv ads, all presidential candidates took their name OFF the ballot except for Clinton, because they were instructed to by the dem party leaders according to the rules. Clinton’s name appeared because her campaign waited too long to submit the paper work. We couldn’t have voted for Edwards, Obama, Biden even if we WANTED to.

There was also an informal suggestion that we should vote for Romney, because it was widely thought Mc Cain would be the more difficult opponent. (Mr. Rush was not the first to launch operation Chaos) Many democrats in Michigan did just that.

The primary process is not one person one vote, the nominee is chosen by the ELECTED delegates, who are NOT bound to vote for the candidate with the most votes in their state. They are free to vote for whomever they wish after the first round.

Last but not least, even IF MI and FL delegates were seated today, as is, Obama would still be ahead in delegates.

So bottom line Clinton stay Clinton leave, it makes no difference, the delegates at the convention will chose. (Both “super” and “elected”). Either way it won’t and isn’t destroying the party, it hasn’t been until recent that the democratic nominee was decided before the convention, and we have won many elections. Rest assured all will be well with us, and we will be ready to fight the fight in November. xoxoxoxo

Peace out all..

Alisyn,

I just got a psychic message from your children (Gee, I hope it was from them and not just the voices are back) and they asked me to make a post on their behalf.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!

You R the BEST MommY! mommy!

Love, Alexa & Cessa and Nate

Have a great mother’s day Alisyn!!

I guess if the bacon is crisp – it would taste good with the chocolate because of that salty sweet taste combo. Would not be my first choice of a sweet treat. I do love ketchup on my scrambled eggs and my family thinks that is weird.

Stanford on lock down…gunman on the loose. Let us arm our campuses already! GEEEEZZZZZ! lol Eleven killed already? Did I hear that right? Oh my goodness….life is dangerous, another reminder……lol And spring is upon us with might storms and much mayhem.

Cindy….but, they wouldn’t think a thing about a fresh sliced tomato added to the fare of eggs, bacon, tators and biscuits AND gravy. I am getting really, really hungry guys!!!!!! I want a little of all aforementioned food stuffs. Yes, I do!! lol

Peanut butter on a cheesburger is great.
French Fries with tartar sauce is a must.
Add a fried egg and cheese on a BLT (I call it a sandwich salad)
I’ve not tried this, but our elementary students in the cafeteria put ranch dressing on pizza.
Have a great weekend, everyone

Morning all,

Try orange juice on your cold cereal instead of that nasty milk stuff!

Alli,

Part 1 of 1st post at O’dark thirty this morning:

First, Cindy Crawford is a close second to you. You have the attributes of a super model coupled with the looks and charm of a “girl next door.”

None of the other Aliblogers remarked about how you would look in Real Tree or a Benedictine habit. I guess their silence affirmed that you would look great in either one. Can you wear a hula shirt one morning?

I know you are Italian and not Polynesian however, it would be an event; perhaps one day during ratings week.

The best chocolate I ever had (this will sound trite) was in Belgium. It was indescribable. I wish I knew the name. However, that was 20 years ago and the slip of paper or the wrapping is long gone.

Lori, thanks for your informative post. I’m glad you have felt comfortable giving your opinion even though you do probably feel that most of us posting have a republican opinion.
What’s up with the whole Michigan thing? That doesn’t sound right. They changed the date of the primary and then you only had Clinton as a choice? GRIEF !! Was there any legal action that could be taken later?
Recently I have begun to blog here and I ask a lot of questions, at the risk of looking stupid. Yesterday or the day before perhaps, in one of my posts I had asked about why the democratic primary is done SO vastly different than the republican party? The republicans do not have the whole delegates issue, to my knowledge their process is popular vote during the primary.
No matter where my views fall, the election process is amazing and I’m so glad that we are in a country that we have the freedom to even talk about such things.

Chocolate, bacon, and peanut butter…. I would try it.

Good Morning!

Try spreading mayonnaize on left over pizza and fry it in a skillet.

Chocolate and bacon? Who comes up with this stuff?

Have a great weekend!

Virginia, as Andy Levy likes to say, a well armed society is a polite society.
I think that every able minded person without a criminal record should pack heat.

Hey Virginia,

I am the only one in my family that loves fresh, homegrown tomatos – ( I did grow up in the south and that is a staple in the summer) and yes you just described one of the most perfect meals for any time of the day. Also a farm fresh tomato on white bread with real mayo and salt and peper is a great dish. I am with you some of these combos sound yummy!!

How is the ankle or is it your foot that you hurt? Hope you are getting around ok.

Lori….excellent post, excellent! Thanks for the info of the workings of the election process. lol And you are absolutely correct. We will go forward, and all will be well regardless, as it always is…:)

My favorite burger is called a Brauny lad (sp?) It’s a rye bun, beef burger, lots of onion, and tarter sauce. OMGsh The tarter sauce with the fries, yes, very good too.

My dad’s favorite sandwich was toasted wheat bread, peanut butter and jelly…with BACON. It’s true. ;o) I fixed it for him most Saturday mornings unless there was left over chili in the frig.

Sheila,

A couple of state elected Michigan democrats (Gov.) thought that moving the primary date before New Hampshire and Iowa ( or close to it) would give Michigan a national spot light. Something they thought would bring attention to Michigan and it’s economic plight. Sooooooo even though it was against their party’s rules, they did it anyway.

You will have to differ to one of your fellow republican bloggers to comment about how and why their party has different rules. Sorry

xoxoxox

Sheila,

The PBJ is great – we used to fry it the sandwich – never tried the bacon with it! Delicious but just thinking about it now makes my chest hurt!

Cindy…fresh tomaters right out of grandma’s back yard, still warm from the sun, and who even thought they needed anything but a polish with the shirt tail before consuming as many as the tummy could hold!!!! Yes, them were the days for sure. If you add bacon and mayo to that, your taste buds will be totally in heaven. One must go forward with no fear in the food area. I think it is the packaging that gets in the way of the brain and what might be.
The ankle is fine, I guess. Not healing as fast as one might wish, but, then, it’s ok as it has turned out, or I would be blissfully unaware of this most wonderful place to be and watching TLC in between FOX news reports!!! The doc is sending me to see the orthopedic surgeon to see whatsup. My advice is…..NO FALLING AFTER YOU ARE TWENTY FIVE!!!!! Yep, that would be the message, along with, of course, pay attention VIRGINIA when I am whispering in your ear, or nugging you r shoulder, of course!!! :):) lol

I like a little ketchup and a dash of hot sauce on scrambled eggs. I also liked this egg casserole thing I had once with fresh made salsa. I’m hungry for breakfast, brunch and lunch all in one sitting!

If they ever announce a winner for that contest and someone gets to crawl into bed with Alisyn and GC for breakfast, will they serve that chocolate covered bacon? Hmmmmmmm……. there was something titillating about just typing those words.

Yeah, I think all the statins I take are staging a protest in my chest just for reading about all of this stuff! lol

Lori…..From the “country” of Texas to Michigan? You are definitely needing to remember to run fast into the sun every time it is available!!! :) Yep, you do. When we came to the most gorgeous, green with trees part of yankee country, I had a major light deprivation event that lasted for a long time. I was sooooooooo relieved to find out I wasn’t going slowly mad and it was, indeed the light that was missing in action in my life! That doesn’t address the major cultural difference between the country of Texas and Michigan….yep! :) lol

…You’re sizzling, Marshall..ugh!

Ms. Lori,

I respect your opinion and am happy to hear your take on the circumstances. And if I may repeat myself for I am pretty sure you were not here when I pointed this out weeks ago.

If you sit the MI/FL the GOP beats you up for not following the rules you lay down.
If you don’t sit the MI/FL you get beat up for cutting them out of the process.

I also might point out that given the current state of things Dems should have a 20 point lead and the best you have is a tie right now.

This is not going to be a cake walk for you by any stretch of the imagination.

respectfully,
chas

The Elvis

Recipe courtesy Peanut Butter & Co.
Show: Sara’s Secrets
Episode: All About Peanut Butter

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, softened
8 slices white bread
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 large, ripe banana, sliced
1/4 cup honey
12 slices bacon, Sauteed until crispy (optional)
Preparation:

Spread the butter on 1 side of each slice of bread. On the other side of half of the slices spread peanut butter. Place banana slices on top of peanut butter. Drizzle honey over bananas. Place 3 bacon slices on top of the banana, then place the remaining buttered bread slices on top, butter-side-out.

Place sandwiches on a preheated grill pan or griddle. Flip them over when they become golden brown and crispy. When the sandwiches are browned on both sides, remove to plates. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Marshall…you and my hubby. I just put the hot sauce on the table as he puts it on everything. I like it in the dish, maybe, but I don’t want to add it on afterwards. I prefer my tongue to not be on fire!!!! :):) Of course, maybe he can’t feel his tongue anymore?? I hadn’t thought of that…hummm…I must ponder that! lol

The Original Elvis Presley’s Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

2 slices of white bread
2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
1 small ripe banana mashed
2 tablespoons butter

Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and the mashed banana on the other. Press the slices gently together. Melt the butter (or to be truly Elvis-like, melt bacon fat!), over low heat in a small frying pan. Place the sandwich in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Eat it with a glass of buttermilk.

Please note: Elvis tended to eat 12-15 sandwiches a sitting! So belly up!

Virgina:

You are so right about that.

I am originally from PA, and lived on Lake Erie for many years, so cold and snow are no stranger to me, HOWEVER I had serious issues coping with the winter gloom this year. LOL I didn’t care for the “culture” of Texas, but I absolutelllllllly LOVED the weather. I am so enjoying the beautiful flowers and trees that are now blooming though. So good and bad in all things I guess..;-)

Do you live in TX?

Cindy…Use Peanut butter to fry a sandwich? you mean in place of butter? Interesting.

Lori..No one answers about the difference in the parties and why. Perhaps I will have to start digging on my own for my answer. I’m sure I learned about all of this in high school government class, I just simply can’t remember anymore. Must be my old age. Turn 40 and everything goes to pot.
Also, how can Michigan just go against their party rules and do something like that??? Wouldn’t someone put a stop to it before it actually became a reality? Too much red tape perhaps and then a leadership issue somewhere inside.

You know, my mom used to fix this all the time. I haven’t for a long time, so I am glad to be reminded. re: recipe for Elvis sandwich. A southwest food item I am sure? He also had a full introduction to all things yummy!!! lol

Good morning from KY. This is my 1st time ever blogging, so please excuse the grammar. I have a question or a opinion…With the price of gas so high, which in turn affects the price of food, autos and anything else we need to survive, why should we pay for congress and the house to lease high end autos and gas usage? If they are really concerned about the people they serve, why not offer to pick up these bills. If they had to pay out of their pocket what we pay maybe it would really hit home that there is a problem. Thank you and have a great day.

Well Sheila you are right, Michigan going against the party rules was wrong and hence the “punishment” ….. Michigan’s delegates won’t be seated… We will see if that holds, there is a meeting at the end of May with the “rules” committee.

It’s not that I won’t answer about the difference in party rules, it’s just I am not familiar with the republican party.

Virginia, a belated thanks for your encouraging words earlier this morning. I guess I’m my worst critic. My husband would simply flip if he knew I was posting here with it being such a public place. Isn’t everything on the internet though? I do try and guard my writings. This is such an interesting place to visit and get involved. The different opinions and personalities ..very addictive.

Alisyn, liked the blue shirt today. Happy Mom’s day. Where is that student letter again? I’ve done a Fox search on Lake Crystal student letter and nothing comes up but this blog title.

Ms. Sheila,

40? I wish I was that again.

By Constitution each state is responsibile for their elections. The party only gets to tell them what to do if they allow it. There are no powers granted to a “party” in the Constitution.

However, if they are cut off from the party they can lose matching funds and support for bills that could aid them in the operation of the state.

So you have to play ball with them or else, sort of how blackmail tends to work.

The GOP runs the primary much like the general election is run. If memory serves they also punished FL for moving up the primary date by cutting their deagates in half. I am not sure about MI.

I could be wrong about that, but it seems to me I heard on the News.

chas

Love home grown maters! Like to fry the green ones in corn meal and just slice, salt and pepper the ripe ones. I really am getting seriously hungry this morning and lunch time is hours away!

Lori…that is because Texas doesn’t recognize they are part of the union, and behave only because they deign too??? Yes, I am pretty sure that is so. Criminals with a brain, also stay out of the land of Texas, as they know they don’t want to get in Texas Walker Ranger’s sites for any reason!!!! :) Yes…when the girls traveled down there..on their own that is, as they had been many times on family trips….I warned them that once they crossed the border from the USA into the country we lovingly call Texas, they needed to stay on their toes! They laughed at me, but, when they got home they were full of funny stories re the major culture shock they encountered…those little ol’ yankee girls! Step Away From The Car is not a polite suggestion in Texas. They mean STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR or I will shoot your a@@, and I ain’t pausing to ask any questions either!!!! I love Texas and all things tex-mex, yes I do!!!!!!

I think that l lady who use to fix that banana sandwich for Elvis purposely omitted something from the recipe to keep it secret, because after following all her directions all you’re left with is a pile of mush..The sight alone can make you up-chuck.

Marshall….geezzz! Would you stop it already. When the baby girl gets here we are going to do some cooking!!!! I can’t get to the other comments due to my tummy juices churning uncontrollably! Oh my! lol

I remember when French Dressing on pizza was sort of a trend. Didn’t care much for that trend though. lol

al m…you are doing it wrong. The grill MUST be hot, hot. The butter goes on the outside, like a regular grilled cheese. C’mon, it’s delish…I grew up eating these, as often that may be all that was available depending on where we were. lol

I would think french dressing should have been ok..it has a tomato base does it not? I never tried it, as we don’t mess with the pizza, the whole idea being, it is brought to you and everything can be then thrown away…no dishes, no fuss, no muss!!! lol

Virginia I am already thinking I am going to hit the fresh produce place in the morning and see what they have this early in the season. There was nothing as good as Sunday dinner during the summer at Mom’s. Fresh peas, butter beans, silver queen corn, fried okra, sliced tomatoes, a skillet of cornbread and skillet fried chicken. Geez……. now I guess mom would be arrested for murdering all those veggies!

Virginia – Perhaps I’ll try it again sometime..My sister and I were fooling around one-time trying to prepare it..It ended of in the trash can..Kinda like some of Will’s missives..

People would kind of use the French dressing as a dipping sauce and it wasn’t bad. Just too sweet for my liking.

You understand I was just kidding, right Will! I dig your missives!

See you guys later time to go to work.
Sal

al m. when I tried to do that Elvis sandwich all I had was mush too! It almost killed me eating all that gooy stuff piled up on a plate before I got to the last bite and licked the plate.

RE: chas, I remember reading your posts about seating MI and FL, and I have to say respectfully, it is only an issue with republicans..LOL Every democrat I know doesn’t have a problem with this election process, we understand it and are ok with it, it is what it is. I hate to burst your bubble.

The 20 point loss your speaking of, is another red herring, a hopeful wish put out by smart republicans. All of the news cycles have focussed on the democratic primary “fight”. The general election campaigning hasn’t even begun, it makes perfect sense that our numbers have gone down. Only time will tell, but I’ll betcha a dollar and a beer they will come up again…

Marshall – “The King” wasn’t so lucky, I guess.

Sheila…absolutely, only my family is just sooooooooooooooo happy I am not chatting endlessly about all things from the news to TLC!!! They sat bleary eyed, until one of them mentioned blogging with a huge smile. I said, oh no, no…I have never done that before and I am just a little afraid? Oh mom, you will LOVE it, they shouted, in unison with much glee and prospects of relief!! The children are happy, the hubby is delighted to have the remote and the big t.v. allllllllll to himself, instead of the little one upstairs with only 100 channels which means there is no option for some of the movie channels, however, endless boxing film from days of yore. Yes….peace reigns in all the spaces of my home. The big question is………….how do I reasert my authority over all things once my ankle is healed!!!???? We have mused in earlier posts of different ideas availabel to me. The carpentry and fixing of toilets, being one diversion suggested, but, not a good one, as he is ADD and would need help with that. By the way…the toilet was fine last nite, so I don’t know what the reference was too, on his part, while I was madly typing on the blog and he was telling me about toilet and tickets? I sitll don’t have a clue about the tics, but, the toilet was ok…I know all fo you were anxiously awaiting to have this valuable info?? Sure you were.

I am just wondering about Obama. During his time in the senate, what has he done while holding that seat? From my understanding, he hasn’t done anything. Where in the world would a person that can not even do his job as a senator, be able to run a country. It amazes me to see how blind the world is, and how everyone wants to paint this beautiful picture of his change. But still, no one knows what that change really is. The truth is, he hasn’t changed anything in the senate. He has left this country in total shock of the comments that come out of his mouth, the friends he has, and the choices he has made. He states all kinds of changes, but the only thing I see, is that he has made it uncomfortable for people to speak their free mind about pollitics. His choices are not wise ones. The choices to keep company with Pastor Wright, especially for 20 years, says, his common sense is not in tack. He now speaks of the shame of the words that Wright says, but we the people, should know that he had to of heard them. No one can hide those feelings for all of those years. I know that if we had someone in our lives that said things like that, either we would keep our distance, leave that situation, or desolve all ties from them. Unless you truley believe what they are saying. So come on everyone, lets use our common sense, and see the true side of Obama. This country has kept there blind fold on too long. This man has no experience, bad judgement, and is far from patriotic.

Bye Sal….later for sure! lol

I’ll catch up with you guys later on this afternoon..

ciao

al m…do, and I betcha you will be delighted. lol It is yummy.

Bye al m…:(

Ms. Lori,

The seating issue will be a factor with independates you can pretty much bank on that.

As far as the rest, again we will see. But I’ve only miscalled 1 election since LBJ, and never call one before the primarys are over, but it is looking like McMedia to me.

chas

Marshallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!! Stop! I am going crazy with the pictures of delicious things dancing in my head….lol

Goodness chas your track record in predicting the future sounds pretty good, can you please tell me if I will find my true love in November too??? LOL This blog thing might be a good tool.. LOL

welllllll all I can say is good luck to all.. we will see….

We wait and watch as the play unfolds, with much interest as we see our citizens flex their collective muscle and rest with the idea of a new President…..we will know in a short minute just who we have chosen to lead us in these, yet another, unsettling times. Yes, we are about to show the world, one more time, just how very special we are as a nation, so we wonder not at all that our gates are being breached by all who wish to be here however they can get here…by hook or by crook, another dilemma that faces us as a nation and a people. Yes??? I think so, and I just love it~~yes I do.
Top terrorist leader in Iraq in not the real guy, but someone with the same name…FOX report!
Coyotes eating children…hit that animal with your iron skillet! That’s what I told my neighbor I would do if her mean dog even thought he could come over that fence. Yep!! I did…and he didn’t, thankfully, so I never had to…:)

Too bad it only seems to work for elections. Otherwise I might have won the lottery by now and retired.

chas

What???? Humans provoking the coyote????? What is this stupid coming out of the mouth of smart people…geezzz!! They are wild and they are carnivorous…no brainer! Shot them…oh, I forgot..endangered you know, or so I read yesterday in a very well put comment?

chas, which one did you miscall?

Well Ms. Virginia they were here first after all…lol

chas

Oh my God…….we knew Code Pind was crazy, and now they are reaching into the dark side and doing spells. On dear! They always were just a wannabe throw back, and now they are certifiable! I love FOX, even thought sometimes I want to throw a shoe at the t.v. when they lapse into stupid!!! :) i.e.the coyote remark, that is…

Pink…I mean. Is there a word Pind…it was underlined I guess, but was so riled I forgot to look, and I am also BLIND from blogging!!! :)

Has anyone determined what the uncommitted superdelegates are being paid (or promised) “under the table” to vote one way or the other?

CHAS: LOL well I guess it’s a good thing I’m happily married for 27 years, with 7 children, so I don’t have to rely on your “psy chic” abilities.. LOL

Yes Virginia, it is a wonderful country, where political discord is alive and well and welcome. Freedom of speech is, sort of kinda of, still welcome

My husband travels to China often and as a consequence his bizness contacts offered to host our family for the summer Olympics.

Yesterday we received a memo telling us about the, mmmm shall we say, intrusive methods that will be used by the Chinese government during the Olympic games and warned us our privacy will be checked at the border.

They say it takes all kinds, but I wish they’d just take these Pink’s away…lol

Loonies one and all as far as I can tell. The must have taken too much LDS.

chas
ps, yes I mean LDS, it is a line from one of the Star Trek Movies.

Congrats on the 27 years Ma’am. And glad I brought a small smile to your face.

chas

Thank you chas, and your posts do amuse me… xoxoxo to alll bfn

Hi Alisyn, It’s really not weird, but my first thought was my dear grandfather who every morning mixed Wheaties & Sugar Crisp cereal together. Gosh I miss him. He & Grandma adopted one child, and ended up raising all nine of her children, and I am blessed to have been one of them. I hope Steve is ok, he hasn’t seemed his happy cheery self the past few days. Have a great weekend and Happy Mothers Day!

Lori…he just might be able to? Ya never know..stranger things have happened for sure at the most unexpected moments..yes they have. We learn pretty quickly that we roam this earth and our lives touch others in ways we will never know. I am just sure my blue eyed~~sigh~~~~history teacher doesn’t have a clue how he impacted my life and the other kids sitting in his class…only a small observation of course. Then there is the kid who had every toy in the world and all the attention from his mom a kid could want, but came back and told me when he was twenty five…it took that long for him to get a brain, as discussed before…to tell me what a wonderful time he had at my house growing up playing in the sprinkler in the front yard…I was the only one without a lawn for years..we have one now, but I am sure I am not having as much fun…and eating wonderful new things from my kitchen, both exotic and funny…ya know..peanut butter with mayo, and frozen peanuct butter and jelly sandwiches, fixed with great care, as some wanted the jelly on “the top” and some wanted the jelly on the “bottom”…I love kids and their delightful view of the world…frozen because there was no micro wave….so, anything can and does happen….lol

Now I know I’m getting older than dirt. It took me 5 minutes to figure out that bfn was bye for now…lol

Dang kids and their shortcuts.

chas

Hey Lori….You are going to loooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee forty!! If God ask me what age I would like to be for the rest of eternity, I would tell him forty. You are smart and well spoken, and I bet I will not be surprised to see your face…well, I won’t know it’s you, and I will be snuggly tucked in my chair with Alzheimer’s probably, speaking to those that would listen, about this bright young lady who was so much fun, on the blog. In case that is not the case, you will have to use code words like Alysin, green room, Chas…you know, so we will know ii is you.

Chas….I am in the same world and cannot “text” for that reason and it takes me a while to read one if I get one! Yep…over my head too, but, I think they have a book or something out, with the “code” for we that are of a different generation. lol

Text? I can bearly type in regular english…lol

The only text msg I get is from Virison telling me my bill is on-line and they send it in english…lol

chas

Randy….the big wheat before mini wheats…….in the oven on broil sprinkled with copious amounts of butter, sugar and cinnamon, hot with a little milk added in the bowl…….oh my! The tummy continues to rumble for all good things both present and past in the realm of food land.

P.S. Of course, one could subsitute bread in place of….yep..soooooooooooooooooooooo good, before we knew the evils of all things good!!!!

I just had a thought, Ms. Lori must be more like 44. If she were only 40 it would mean she got married at 13…lol

chas

Chas…it’s the kids you know. My son thinks this is an amusing thing to do to me. I CALL him back, with a smile…good for them thar smiley issues…to ask him whatsup.

You and Lori are having tooooo much fun. At least all can get their smiley excersice ( I give up..I must go to the dictionary) done for the day…another unexpected occurrence that is a positive thing??? Yes…I continue to be amazed!!

Maybe…twenty seven, I think…must scroll to see what started the age guessing.

Shortly I will have to stop for a time. But I’ll return this afternoon.

chas

Brian from Ohio….uncommitted superdelegates issue???? paid under the table..how much? I am thinking at the very least it must be a PB&J w/ bacon sandwich with a side of chocolate covered bacon. Seriously, do you really think that there is underhanded …under the table stuff going on?? SHOCK !!! Surely not !! LOL You bet your blackberry there is bigtime payoffs on BOTH sides of this election. But this is nothing new.

Chas….shame on you. This whole event would not be without the interference/distraction of groups like Code Pink. They are a reminder of why coyotes roam free to eat children and our gas is almost five bucks a gallon…almost! What am I saying…it is five bucks!!!! That doesn’t even address the price of corn, a basic commodity of our food pantry…..geezzzz! What a world. Gore’s pockets continue to grow, and grow, and grow!!! I still like my new business idea. I just think we would all be rich immediately in that there are those that would believe the ridiculous always, so are targets for them that would be of a nefarious and scoundrel nature..Yep…they would, and we could tap into that, and push these better character pluses we have to the back…just for a minute, until we have our fortune safely tucked in the savings and loans? :)

Are they making you work again? I guess I could go check my e-mail with the copious amounts of forwards, and start deleting madly.

Plus their comedy value is too great to ignore…lol

Well I must pack it in for lunch.

I shall return from the comfort of my lazy boy in a short while.

chas

ok, well i just got a message canned. Thought maybe it was me and tried to repost it and they slapped my wrist and said “you already said that !!” LOL

My comment was to Brian in OHIO… do I think there is some under the table paying going on? my answer was heck yes…nothing new.
That’s my short version …although my first post was MUCH better I think.. but I am heading out the door to the flower shop and don’t have time to rethink it all.

Oh Lori…27 yrs married. Too cool…I am almost twice that and still having fun. What a trip!!! You are going to have so much fun. We will very axiously await all the stories of the sites and sounds you will bring back to us! I can’t wait, can’t wait. I will be healed by then, I hope, but will definitely return to look for your comments. We were never in China…four years in Japan..i.e. exotic food reference.

Still not showing up. Grief. I give up. Time to get busy doing something else anyway. Maybe they’ll like my posts later. we can only hope. lol

OK.. I will try a third time. this is crazy !!!

To Brian in Ohio… in response to your question… my answer is YES. maybe that will go through. grief.

I think I am being blog disiplined and I have not said anything bad. LOL

Alisyn..in keeping with the subject. I like bacon. bacon with bacon and bacon on the side.

Chas…at any rate, Lori is experiencing the wonderful age of forty as we speak. No wonder she spars so smart. You better watch yourself! We are a dangerous bred at any age, but, the forty old year old woman jokes are not without some truth!

have a good day everyone. I’ve been kicked it seems . nothing is showing up. ( not sure how in the world…weird, very weird. I still like Fox .. lol and Alisyn… and all you guys… maybe they’ll let me back later.

Aw Shiela….don’t give up the good fight with the puter and the ghosts therein!!!! I am not suffering this….yet…oooo, could come upon me any minute, and I have nothing to get too so this is not good at all!!!

I simply have tried to make a comment to Brian. my answer was YES. and it’s like Fox is ticked at my answer to that post. WEIRD.

jShhhheeeiiilllaaaa!!! I see you!!!

I don’t see Brian either….oooo, more ghostly things happening? Yes, I think so!

LOL this is insane. If someone were permitted to post a question, why wouldn’t someone be permitted to answer? It’s not like this subject isn’t discussed on Fox news. I don’t get it.

Oops…there I went too. Maybe this is when they re-set something or the other. I guess I should go look and see if I am in over draft as well as addressing the e-mail situation. Grief is an understatement Sheila :(

I commented to a newer blogger….his name starts with a B and he lives in a state that starts with an O. When I type things out it’s getting kicked. my answer can be starts with an N or a Y .. and my answer starts with a Y.

Where is WILL when you need him? grief.

Well…for goodness sake. There you are Sheila. This is hilarious, except it is soooooooo frustrating. You will prob come up..the missing comments, I mean. Or not..like Will we have all waxed wise to only never had it show….humm…oh well. lol

Flowers… that’s where I am going. Maybe Fox will fix their problem while I am enjoying not having stress over my posts getting kicked for no apparent reason. I am a good person. lol

Is it true Brian doesn’t wear underwear?

That would be Brian from the great state of Ohio, the “country” that makes presidents. And he has disappeared. Either had to leave or has entered the land of double click and F5? lol

Enjoy the flowers…had another hit the cyber space..oh well. Later lol

Sheila…Will is not frazzing. He is comfortably stretched out in his hammock watching his fire pit…I continue to be very jealous!!!

Ladies, I’m sure it’s just a technical issue.
My guess is that is has to do with bandwidth.

Ah!! I am back on. Hi Dog..I am sure you are right.

Dog…if I decide I don’t care if I am in over draft or the e-mail situation, which will stop tomorrow when my friend leaves on their cruise..I can always scoot over to yours, which is wonderful also, so all is not lost! lol

Or, over to Chas and the quilting for warriors site, which I am interested in, and I definitely have time and a good reason, if one would need further reason other than the obvious. My nephew leaves today at 1p for Iraq…fine looking boy in his uniform..or not in hi uniform actually, as I pause to see him in my mind. Yep! Iam seeing red lines every where, but, I think it is my dismally inadequate glasses…surely I can still spell. Oh geezzz! Code Pink and their antics are all over the news…again! Hopefully their venture into the land of the dark occult will come back and smack them in their collective face…well, as a matter of fact, I am pretty sure that is exactly what will happen.

Virginia, please feel free to post at mine all you like.
I’m sure the others would love anything you have to say.

Did you read what I wrote about Code Pink?

Dog…I didn’t venture to comment there before because it took a while to read everything…well, I didn’t get to everything as I was having to stop and laugh and think, ya know, madly telling the baby girl she simply must go to this most interesting place, and dealing with her polite, but definitely, dismissive looks!!! Oh well, she will just have to miss out…:)

Sheila -

You make the peanut butter and jelly sandwich and then fry it in butter. Now it sounds absoulutely horrible but when I was 12 and 13 yrs. old it was the best.

Dog…where is it…scanning madly, can’t find it..but, there is a lot of this person Virginia Comments, as my puter continues it’s ghostly behavior….:)

jAh Cindy, Sheila, Dog….I feel sooooooo much better now. Whew! Scary when that happens…lol Cindy, I already pointed out that obvious point to al m, after laughing heartily for many moments. Too funny for sure!!!!

Virginia, here you go.
http://dogoncrack.wordpress.com/2008/02/09/70/

Yes, checked it out, and I do rem….geezzz, Zango pop up thingy..took forever to make it go away!!! Anyway, I do remember reading it and agreeing of course and wishing all that and more would come crashing down on their heads. Toooooooo stupid and they definitely fall in the category of those who have not ventured more than fifty miles from home, either on their own or on National Geographic channel, or magazine. Luckily for me, it has been first hand so perhaps I am not as patient as one might be otherwise? lol

I should probably write thread about their latest antics.

It’s still yummy Cindy. Fix up a tray and serve it to the hungry masses that hit the door when their pantry is empty, as all the chiluns continue to do. Hello mom, and the fridge opens. My son came one day and ask me where the interesting and good food was that could usually be found in my pantry. I calmly told him that I had decided it could actually be stored up at the corner on their shelves as I could go anytime I wished as there were no longer sleeping babies to tie me to the house??? Sheesh!!! I had a neighbor call to borrow a can of the ever present tomatoes, and had to laughingly tell her I was out of business, and she too would have to venture up to the corner also. Military life with mom and dad did instill a need to have copious amounts of all kinds of good stuff on the shelf at all times, a very hard thing to stop doing, much like learning how to cook for less than five hundred, as one never knew who might pop in for a bite!!!

Dog….I should think so! They are something else all right. Amazing in these times. They have no excuse except the total stupid gene that is apparently dominant in their family. It may be a skip a generation thing…or be passed from the other stupid person back thar in times of yore??? Oh well…we will have them with us always…have had and will have, so be it!

Want to get hungry go watch the AtSS! In fact, I am going to sneak out early and go have some lunch!!!!!!!!

Oh geezzzzz! I dashed over to add site to my bookmarks, only to discover that I already had, but, I forgot because that is another “new” thing I learned about…geezzzz!! My poor old brain, trying to retain all this very important puter stuff! I’m talking to myself again~~~~~~~scaaarrryyy~~~~~~no wonder the kids and hubby were bleary eyed. I come to agree me thinks. It’s not the glasses afterall, hummmm??? Dog…you may want to re-think that invite to comment…yep, you may!!! lol

Marshall, just about the time the ghosts seem to be at lunch also you pop up and now are leaving! Geezzz! I and Sheila are not winning this battle of the puter and the Gods therein or ghosts lurking….:)

I just returned from australia where they put beets on their cheeseburgers ..kinda different

As I await the pleasure of said gods and ghosts, I have an opportunity to scan and read and catch up, albeit late, but none the less, interesting as always. lol

Virginia

I did enjoy that sandwhich growing up – you are very funny. Enjoyed chatting with y’all today now I must go be a Mom at my daughters school. Take care and have a great weekend.

See….I missed Joy and some of Sheila’a comments, which I have come to look for…sheesh! Sheila…..Life Lock…buy it and your world will become immediately less complicated, starting with the assurance of no name/life stealing and the lovely ceasing of mail in the mail box which must be shredded, tho it matters not a bit, except it has little pieces of info that we are told is dangerous for the dumpster divers…a new rather yukky description of the nefarious scoundrel in our midst. It is not expensive, and your credit union may be offering it at a discount, and if you are not a member of a credit union, run do not walk to your nearest phone book or web google and find the nearest one to you and join, where you will immediately start receiving all kinds of personal attention and higher and/or lower rates applicable to whatever you are trying to do. A well kept secret by the banking institutions as they are not even close when trying to compete…yep, they do not like the credit unions for all the reasons of profit and high costs for every single thing a person might need. So, keep them happy with a small acct and move everything els to your CREDIT UNION…yep, today!! lol

Oh Cindy…enjoy the moments. Obviously you are. Have a great day…lol

Virginia, I have thought about it again as you suggested and my mind hasn’t changed.
Besides, it’s a public blog and anyone can comment.
The only comments that get blocked are those by vile trolls.

From the comfort of home I have returned. Now I can watch F&F 1st and then go watch the AtSS and get my Ms. Alisyn fix for the day.

I see she has placed 2 more topics but as of yet not put up a weekend open blog. Well she still has an hour left before she goes to the mommy neighborhood. I hope she remembers.

chas

Shirley…where did you go? You have a life obviously, unlike me. Scanning I find you from much earlier. You have found the most wonderful place to be, especially as a new blogger, which I am also, and amazingly enough, is Will P. also, so you are in very good company. It is fun, and addictive, as Sheila and I have discovered!!!! so, tho you are gone now, I look forward to seeing you soon.
We continue to question our representatives, don’t we, on excess of everything, the car thing rather small in the scheme of things. They continue to try to look busy with strange and possibly, actually dangerous legislation, all the while, worrying over what Rush has had to say today. What a group, and we watch and are just amazed at every turn. Would seem their agenda is not ours perhaps, a lot of the time, and they ask us to really stretch our ability to look at anything they may be doing with anything but disdain and huge anxiety.
I can’t find the “you” I was speaking to…:( but, welcome…oh, was it Natalie???? a glimpse of memory long lost…I am sure it is a momentary illuminiation and will pass quickly like my short term usually is!!!!!!!!!! lol
I am starving after reading all the food stuff…I am in overdraft…call from my friendly Credit Union …told ya..very nice indeed, this old fashioned approach…I am off to EAT everything that I can find that I have been reminded of…peanut butter with anything is delicious, and chocolate, and fried ochra, and gravy, and~~~~~oh my!!!! Throwing all caution to the wind!!!! lol and to send someone with a small check to take care of this OD thing that has happened…life is good, yes it is!! Ah, it’s Shirley, had I looked at the beginning of my comments! Duh! But, hello Natalie, anyway….:)

Chas…I must hasten forth and look to see what is the new question…..lol

I also found Jewel…what a beautiful name. Brings delightful pictures of sparkling things around ones neck and on the fingers and ankles, of course…not to skip the ears!!!! I am sure we will be good friends also, as everything Merlot is good with anything one might want to eat with? Yes, I think so. Still don’t have any…keep forgetting to ask someone to pick up a bottle. I am off to check the new question……lol

We might have to use one of them over the weekend…lol

chas

Jewel is a singer/songwriter…lol

chas

Is she on TLC???? :):):):)

Her recent songs are on GAC or CMT, she just put out a country album.

chas

Hi Chas…..I may have known that in that the name sounds familiar, so it is probably stored somewhere in my puny brain. The kids have prob had it on the cd player, as they scurry to take control over said player, as I prob have Roger Whitaker blasting and it hurts their ears. Ah!! I am getting a pedicure from the baby angel that comes to tend to me and grandpapa…yummmy hot soapy water for the piggies. I think I may be in heaven~~~~~~~~~~~~~sigh~~~~yes! Definitely heaven! lol

Well Ms. Alisyn must have forgot to do the weekend open blog. But we have the party and the AtSS topics to use on Sat. and Sun.

We could use Brians party for Sat and the Mom’s day blog for Sun.

What do you think?

chas

My last post just fell into the digital divide.

I was thinking we could use Brian’s Party blog for Saturday and the Mom’s day blog on Sun.

Pedicure ha ha. None of those for Jewel if I remember correctly. Says she’s too ticklish for them, or maybe that was Kelly Pickler.

Sometimes I hate my memory, I remember things no sane person would and forget things I should remember…lol

chas

Stupid thing, keeps dumping my post.

I feel like Will…lol

chas

I can’t remember if it was Kelley Pickler or Jewel but one of them said no to pedicures, too ticklish to stand them…lol

But I thought you had to sit to get one…lol

Sort of let down that Ms. Alisyn forgot to post the weekend blog.

I think tomorrow we should use the Party blog.

What do you think Ma’am?

chas

Me too…..oh well! Whatchagonna do? lol

Yes Chas…the party blog it is. Or, I will scurry and search using all my new found skills. Just try to hide and see what happens :) I found a person with the Jewel name on an earlier comment, while I was in the land of F5, and she too enjoys Merlot with good things to eat. That was the Jewel thing…but, if Jewel is country, she has definitely been on my cd…son is a great fan of country, as am I actually.

The pedicure is complete and I now have beeeuuutifulllllll piggies! Ah~~~~~~~~sigh~~~~~~~~~~yes, a wonderful thing for sure. And I am sitting down Chas. Thee forgets I am in the wheely chair so am sitting, getting a pedicure, and blogging all at once. Now, that’s what I call an accomplishment resplendent with big smiles and lots of sighs!!!!!!

Jewel was more pop than country until now, but her pop was a bit like some of the newer country songs.

She’s done some crossroads and is real comfy with country. Interesting story really. You shouldgoogle her.

If you like the Wreckers they sound a bit like Jewel.

chas

Helloooooooooooo!! I must go find the group! I have left all by myself……:)

I think you missed the joke there Ms. Virginia. I said one of them couldn’t STAND getting a pedicure because of how ticklish they were. But you have to sit to get one.

Geeeez I hate when I have to explain a joke…lol

chas

There you are! Geezzz Chas, I can’t keep up. Well…I don’t know, I will have to ask the children if I have heard them. I don’t always know what I am listening to…it’s always good..they have very good taste in music and they are all over the map, from religious, to opera, to country, to pop…you name it and it is all on at my house from time to time….again, as the rush to take Roger off and put something on that doesn’t “hurt their ears”…I just love Roger…but I co-operate anyway, as it is all good so it matters not.

Geezzz! I see, now that I look! But, you are impressed with my skills as they get soooooooooooooooo good? Yes? Dad thinks I am writing a book…..as I am alway here all the time now. He just told me that it was good I was writing about my experiences. He is so cute…I am not even going to try and explain to him what I am doing. Too funny! :)

My wife knows what I am doing as she sits and watches some lifetime movie and sews a quilt block.

Not a Volar quilt. Guess she needed a break from that. It takes her about 100 hours to put one together.

I can’t believe that she has already done 7 this year.

I wish I had that kind of energy.

chas

The post where I said that Toby Keith was my favorite follwed by Gretchen Wilson, of whom I met and have a picture of me standing with her.

Stupid machine…lol

chas

I wish I could see that well!!!! Chas…I have found you. Pat was looking for you on the new blog site. lol I told her I would come find you…….:)

DUH, post are falling into the digital divide at an ever increasing rate.

For the third time Toby Keith is my favorite follwed by Gretchen Wilson. I have a picture of her and I together.

I’m getting tired of repeating myseslf for no gain…lol

Perhaps Pat will stop in here.

chas

Alibloggers,

I had to take my mom to the orthopedic doctor for a checkup. She is in an ALF (not the one from beyond the Alisphere). Broke her collar bone – four more weeks in a sling. All you momma’s out there take your calcium.

al m- do I give the impression of being sensitive and needy. If so, fagettaboutit. That comes from me teasing and taunting our hostess with the mostess about always giving props to Marshall and Chas. I have needs too! I have the feeling she has instructed the jackalopes to add my name to the “S” list; I am no longer an “A” lister like the aforementioned or Virginia (Ed.Note – Alli, you need not recognize me with a terse note. I still think you are the HOTNESS of the digital universe!) Unrequited love. Alas, my fate.

Sheila – since I was not in the loop, I am not sure if I could answer your entry.

I have to return to the salt mines this weekend, therefore I don’t know if I will get a chance to record another event from the early sixties in Tejas.

Will Penny

What’s the hot topic at this hour?
I think Obama’s comment about McCain losing his bearings is a big joke…..did you see the McCain commercial with his 90 + years old mother….I don’t think age will be an issue in this election after that!

McCain’s mother was intelligent, sharp and very witty…I think that proves he is not too old to be our next president.

Am I missing the boat here…or is there another topic I am interrupting?

Well, I guess everyone is on a break….maybe I will try back in the morning.

I sure wish I could watch more of the show daily but work calls! I loved your sweater today and was wondering…where did you purchase or discover. Great color ans AUsome details.
Happy Mother’s Day to you.

Jimmy A. you might want to try one of the other topics, i think they may have moved. No way have they not chatted in two hours. I’m not buying that. LOL I just got back on and that’s where I will head.

Peanut butter and cream cheese sandwich! Yum!!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone, and Alysin. I am still searching for the early risers….hellooooo, where is everyone? lol

an awesome but weird food combination would be peanut butter, mayo, and mustard on a piece of toast, all topped off with hot sauce. its pretty good, i have tried it before.
