Nah, really?







LOL It's the biggest, wettest, noisiest, longest and most fearsome thunderstorm that I have ever witnessed! It's a cracker! It's still going on here!

My mate just texted me. He said his BBQ was a washout. lol. I told him he should have done fishburgers.

LOL The guy next door to me, chose today to empty his old shed and neatly stacked all his stuff on his lawn. He proceeded to demolish said shed, the contents of which are now floating around his back pond! LOL Well, don't these people check out the weather reports? LOL

Stay indoors and be safe.

Ah, but we only have your word to say that that you are scarlet if, indeed you are! Personally, I suspect that you are a rather sickly shade of green. Mind you, after warping through to the other side of the sun you may well be a little on the red side.

I say about 47 pages! LOL If I have to play by your rules I'll guess at 25 days.

You can't! I, at least, had the common courtesy of using the Klingon Dictionary! I don't know, you try your best to learn alien languages and what do you get?

Oh, yes, it's morning and another beautiful day in store for us! The Blackbirds are singing fit to burst. They have a beautiful song.

What time is it now for you...I think we are only six hours ahead during (DST) and it is now almost 11 pm here...?

If so then you are the two earliest birds about...lol

Hey all, well it's 10:45pm here in Colorado. Getting ready to hit the hay. Just trying to catch up a little. My coffee is on all day and night (java mama here) I drink coffee to put me to sleep at night.

Hey Alien Dude....I've been meaning to tell you that everytime I see one of your posts, I think of my 8 year old...Why you ask? Well I'll tell you....When he was born, his nickname was Diaper Dude. Every now and then it slips out and let me tell you...he does not like it one bit. Of course I'm not saying he is any relation to you, but thought you'd get a kick out of it!
Hope everyone has a great day and yep, it's going to be a fab fourth of July for us!!

Can I have some of that tart?

You don't want tart - you want SPROUTS, SPROUTS, SPROUTS and more SPROUTS!

Personally I want the tart...blueberry, *****, raspberry chocolate, etc...I'm a food glutton for pies and tarts...sigh

Ok...Ilike my broccoli...ina tart?...lol

'Morning!

Can anyone tell me when/why there is the "permalink" thing now on all the posts?
Is that someting just added to make it easier to say the same things again, or is it because someone complained about a post??

Four days off was good.......

....and I'm sorry!
Broccoli tarts somehow does NOT sound good to me. Nor brussel sprout tarts or pies, even! Uff da!

FINE.

Guess I'm getting the cold shoulder....

Hi Vasili - I'll talk to you even if no one else will! Don't know about the permalink - just appeared, hasn't it?

***** tart and fresh cream. That's my choice!

Hey, Trish!

That sounds good....been thinking about this since posting last, and I remember the fresh apricot torte my grandmother used to make.....realy sugary and crumbly, like a shortbread-coffe cake-muffiny texture....it even smelled good when being cooked.....(miss those!)

And about the Permalink....at least others see it too.....

....how about fresh blueberries hand-dunked in fresh cream???? YEAH, BABY!!!!

Makes for a special picnic, if you know what I mean!
(even if it is on the livingroom floor!!)

Hi everyone!

Glad you had a good break Vaseli.

You should still eat lots of SPROUTS though. SPROUTS are very good for you.

Mmmmmmmmmm. SPROUTS!

My broadband link islaying up something chronic. Sorry Vasili - couldn't reply as I was kicked off! Unfortunately it is a fault which cannot be traced. Maybe one day I'll get consistent access after 8.30pm and will be able to join in the adult chat!

I actually went and brought sprouts becuase they just stayed on my mind the whole day...lol....I wonder how many people brought sprouts as they spread to several threads....hmmmm

BTW Amanda ...are these, alfalfa, brussels or bean sprouts....or are they equal in your mind...personally...brussells for me....lol

P.S. - Linda you can come live with me and I promise to share all tarts (and calories) that go with them....wish I could exchnage my SLOW metabolism for Heidi Klums nuclear one....

Ok, then! How about today's word, kiddies???

As in "Put a dollop on mine here, thank you!" or
"I dolloped a few posts yonder?"
