Now I do not want anyone making fun of my spelling or grammar.

What you see is what you get ok :-D

I do not use spell check, it would just confuse me...I do not need to be even more confused than I already am with this puter. :-)

Happy 60th anniversary Cyns - so you must have been about 35 when you married? :-D

See I've been volunteered for karaoke duties - I'm a rubbish singer. Might be able to get a certain band to do a few tunes .........

Only here for a short time

I have to go shopping


OH was cooking 2 hard-boiled eggs (for salad) on Monday

He turned the 'lectric on full, pan about ¾ full of water, lid on


then went away.

I saw the pan there, thought "he knows what he's doing"



"THUNK" about 30 minutes later as 2 eggs exploded



Do you know how far the debris from 2 exploding eggs can go?



It also destroyed the small pan that we bought only a few months ago to replace the one that he damaged by


yes




forgetting about 2 eggs that he was boiling!




so I have to go out and buy a new pan!



and then get him to climb a ladder and clean up ALL the little bits that are still stuck high on the walls and even a bit on the ceiling :-D

Glad you got an appointment Sylv

I know the feeling with boiled eggs exploding...I left at least a dozen boiling away once.

Now I have my toaster that boils eggs not a problem now, although it only cooks maximum of four at a time

I remember you talking that toaster some time ago!


does it work well?

Dea

Dea Report 29 Jun 2011 18:53

Sylvia,

Just be thankful that no-one was in the kitchen when they exploded - It could have had awful results! (I was going to say catastrophic but couldn't remember how to spell it ?? :-D) !!

Not so long ago, but luckily in my old cooker which you may remember I HATED , I had a baked potato explode!!

It made one heck of a mess and I don't know why it did it because I always prick the skin??

All that was left intact was a lovely crispy skin and the potato was everywhere.

I remember thinking that if that had happened when I took it out of the oven I would have ended up very badly burned.

My daughter in law recently told me that she never pricked the skin, just put them in as they were and I gave her a VERY stern warning about it !

Syl.....keep him well away from boiled eggs!

We've got a toaster at work that boils and poaches eggs

I could touch type once upon a time, now I only have one finger I can use comfortably on my right hand.

When I worked for the bank I used to get bored and would try and help the typists out ...not a good idea trying to be an audio typist when I could'nt spell.

I use Google Chrome as my usual browser. It has an automatic spell checker built in. It is very good at remembering that old rhyme, now how does it go Gin?

"I" before "E" except after "C"

Remember, freinds in reciept of benefit can be feindishly clever ;-)

Seriously it is a boon. Type something incorrectly and it puts a red line under the word. Right click the word and the correct spelling of the word appears. Left click on the word shown and the incorrect word is instantly replaced.

P.S. I have just doubled my typing speed. I now use 2 fingers.
