I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Otter, don't be ridiculous, it's made of cheese, just like the moon. The moon is made of swiss cheese and the sun is made of cheddar cheese! And that's a fact.

AnnNYC

Yay, Otter checked in !!!!!!!!!!!   So glad your house is okay, but even better that you were further away from the tornados !!!!

AnnNYC

or is that tornadoes?

Alpal

Tornados doesn't look right. And according to spell check it isn't right. Tornadoes.

Speaking of which -- isn't it a little early in the season for tornadoes?  Or has the weather in the southern climes been unusually warm for this time of year?  It's been unusually cool up here...

Alpal

I heard some weather man explaining that it is because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is warmer than usual. Now you all know everything I know about weather and please, please don't ask me to prove it.

Ann just had a Dan Quayle moment!  

I never knew the context of Quayle's misspelling of the word "potato".  Turns out, he was using a flashcard that one of the classroom teachers had prepared:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/quayle3.htm

I do think Quayle should be let off the hook for that boo-boo, especially after the Roberts/Obama miscue when President Obama took the oath of office during his inauguration.  Lots of people blamed Roberts for prompting Obama to mis-state the oath.  Why didn't people blame the teacher who prepared the flashcards Quayle was using?

Okay, enough of that.  It's time for supper.  We're having homemade venison stew with baking powder biscuits on the side.  Tomorrow's entrée is crawfish (again), so I'll be looking for that cheesy grits recipe!

It has to be global warming.

Chicken pot pie and spinach.

We went out for dinner. 

I don't want to prove anything either, just because I don't want to.  I want to be nasty on every thread I visit because I'm a know-it-all and you cant prove that I'm not.

Re:  "Isn't it a little early in the season for tornadoes?"

No, not at all.  According to FEMA:  "Peak tornado season in the southern states is March through May; in the northern states, it is late spring through early summer" (http://www.fema.gov/hazard/tornado/index.shtm).

I doubt FEMA did the research.  We've heard the same thing from our meteorologists here in the southeastern U.S. for decades -- our tornado season is in the early spring.  So we're right smack in the middle of the worst of it.  There's a second, smaller peak in the fall (October-November).

Pasta is better for you than anything else. Prove it? Anyone who would ask anyone to prove anything must be quite mad..

I'm late, I'm late for a very important date. No time to say hello good-bye, I'm late.

Only in a world gone mad can we say we don't have to prove things.

Ah well 

Wabbit

Hey ... that's my line   

rosemary-b

Sorry Rabbit but somebody here has fallen through the looking glass. Keep your eyes open, be alert. She is there now and I don't have to prove that.

Oh Otter

If I believe the sun is a mass of incandescant gas in a great big nuclear furnace and you say it is melted butter and neither one of us has to prove it oh what oh what can we do? Fight over it? Agree to disagree? Oh my oh my, I hope we are still friends..

crazy4carrots

Well, I gotta disagree with Otter.  If the sun really were melted butter, wouldn't it be dripping all over us?  It rained today -- all the drips were water-based, I'm pretty sure!  Don't want to fight..just stating an observation....

BarbaraA

I love butter but I need to find goat milk butter. Cow milk doesn't work so well for me and I HATE the substitutes. Help me out gals! Ideas?

bluedahlia

Now I said I went out to dinner, but can I prove it?  I don't have to....but it was fun getting dressed.  hahahahahha!

BarbaraA

Blue, look how cute you are! And skinny, beeeaatch.

bluedahlia

I'm still a wee bit lopsided, but we're working on it.  On a positive note, my hair is growing back.

crazy4carrots

Fabulous Blue!  You have added some pounds -- and that's a GOOD thing!

annettek

you are beautiful Blue

Wabbit

blue ... looking good!  All dressed up and someplace to go too!

Barbara ... here you go http://www.meyenberg.com/ ... maybe anyway ... I've never ordered from there.

Now ... I need a good chicken pot pie recipe ... got one? 

AnnNYC

You're beautiful, Blue!  (but I knew that already) and so is your house!  and doggie!

rosemary-b

Beautiful Blue

BarbaraA

Wow, wabbit, thanks!! All over it.

bluedahlia

Thank you ladies.   Linda, I put on 15 lbs.  Hope I level off soon.  You don't want to see my profile.  hehehehe!

Medigal

Must have been a ritzy restaurant you went to, Blue.  I see you are wearing pearls.  Great outfit and you sure don't have a weight problem.  I think your hair looks great on you short.  No more compliments or you'll start getting a swelled head and really think you know everything.

bluedahlia

Has anyone heard from Athena.  Starting to worry about her.

Medigal, we went to a little Italian restaurant, Rosa's, to celebrate my successful surgery and Ray's new job.  He used to commute 3 hrs. a day (both ways) and now it's less than an hour.  Just in time considering the price of gas.  He was spending $500/month before the increase.

Seems like an auspicious moment to pop in briefly to say hello and send a huge hug to everyone. Under orders to simplify life and to NOT do things like post on my favorite forums at Midnight when I could be doing something as elemental as sleeping....

Blue, you are a champion. From writing tiny posts to standing tall - makes me almost cry to see how far you have come. We know what baby steps illness can force us into, and when we are making giant ones, like you are, it is easy to forget what a towering accomplishment that is.

Wabbit

JB ... we like and respect each other and enjoy 'visiting'.  It's really just that simple.   

Glad to see you Athena ... we won't tell anybody you've been playing on the computer instead of sleeping. 

Got to watching one of those training a bad dog programs on Animal Planet and now I'm past my sleepy time and wide awake.  I made my dog watch too ... suppose she learned anything?  She's not a bad dog though ... and she has us trained already. 

Good night all.
