'Count your blessings'....one of my sisters read that at my wedding

...followed by 'If' by a friend

And the strangest thing...when mom died we had 'If' ....despite the humanist geezer telling us we couldn’t because it was too masculine..

............he didn’t know my mom

We pay no attention to FBG either.

And my cats are all dead, you insensitive Irene! heh heh. The anniversaries of the last three deaths in 7 weeks last summer have just passed.

But we have a fine crop of ferals this summer, Raul and all his descendants. Most are long-haired medium orange (what you call ginger, I know), and really quite beautiful. The one who has taken to me and may decide to move in is of course the odd one out -- the totally ordinary, very short-haired and very skinny grey-tabby and white spotted one. I might also acquire Fez, a long-haired black so called because his chewed ear looks like he's wearing one, who is also a bit of a fan of head rubs. ... Like No.1 ... so he's just jealous when he turns his nose up at my outside pets ...

FBG can say what she likes. I pay no attention.

I just assume sweet pea is one of your strange foreign circumlocutions, like sweet corn ...

My favorite cat is also called Sweetpea - so JC is in excellent company - namewise

Too true Fans,

Dea dearest..Janey has been called Sweetpea by me for many a moon now and ifin she dont like it ,she can lump it...
And anyway its a lot nicer than some of the things she can come up with and nicer than some of the other things I have called her..(quietly,under my breath)

Yes Renes,I was talking to you ,sorry I should have said.
I will try them next year,please remind me if I forget...

Thanks Dea......these trials and tribulations are par for the course with autism unfortunately.

I agree......be thankful for each day...in fact we should all count our blessings at times. Hope you get a good, restful sleep. Night night.

Must have been on the previous page and I missed it, and I'm not going back -- one of us said russets? Yup, that's a baking potato. Is that a "floury" potato??

I grew up on corn syrup (the "golden" kind, not the clear kind I use for making peanut brittle, speaking of peanuts). Poor people food. We weren't terribly poor when I was a kid, just lower-middle, but my dad had got his taste for corn syrup during the poor periods when he was a kid, I guess. He put it on anything: pancakes, bread, ice cream. It's the stuff that's really bad for you, but I still want it on my pancakes! Maple really is revolting, and most other syrups just try to taste like maple. Although "golden" syrup is okay, I guess.

You don't need a translator for us, Ginny. We need a translator for you!

We need a bloomin translator for these Canadians!

Russets are apples here

I WILL Renes,

'Take each day as it comes, and be thankful for it ' !!

Humming quietly......."Chestnuts roasting on an open fire." ...tra la.....

nah....too Christmassy for now.


I beg to differ JC .......maple syrup is yummy.


Gins......they grow different types of spuds in Canuckland - I had a feeling they would!

Russet Burbank, Shepody, Superior, Atlantic, Yukon Gold, Chieftain, Russet Norkotah, Kennebec, Ranger Russet and Norland.



My poor daughter who has AS and hates change and alterations to her routine is trying to cope with :

a) waiting for a new computer charger (so she can't use her puter) and is frustrated by this.

b) having her bedroom decorated by a neighbour (so her stuff is all over the place) which she detests.

c) just having her boiler turned off awaiting repair (so no hot water) and can't use her washing machine.


I must have had about 6 phone calls from her in the last 3 hours.


Arghhh.

Fans

It need to be fairly dry and sun - they will grow in large pots or ideal 15lts paint tins - as they would dry out fairly quickly thru the plastic or tin -------

Plant in May/ June - put several 8/9 whole peanuts in each "pot" - plant in dirt . not compost - always keep on dry side - otherwise the peanuts will just rot

Just thought after all that typing you are talking to me

Are you Fans


Renes

Nope...you need a floury spud

Examples of floury potatoes: Golden Wonder, British Queen, Maris Piper, Edzell Blue, Shetland Black

Fans!!

I don't know how anyone can dare to call our Janey 'sweet pea' !! -Methinks you are asking for a slap??

Dea x

Janey Sweetpea...A spud is a Spud of any variety.

Just use older ones, dont use new spuds,they dont mash so good...

Much better than that maple stuff

Slightly different spelling check number of t's but R will do fine save on keystrokes as you can tell from my tea I am frugal
