JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD #19 8/05/10 - 8/27/10

[Brandi]

Before I log out, I want to welcome Tolerance to the thread! It's been a joy reading your posts!

           

Bumped for Tolerance

Hi Brandi - that is so cute!

Hi Mission!

 

[no rose colored glasses]

I have three phones in my house all landlines, and it will stay that way, and my husband and daughters can play with their cell phones.  Please someone tell me that I have never eaten a turkey testicle at Thanksgiving 

  Never had a turkey testicle, but I have eaten calf fries and they are yummy!!!! 

Before I go water, just have to know what in the world is calf fries? 

[joesamas mama]

I seriously must be missing something, do people really eat possums and turkey testicles?

No Rose, my very weak stomached brother worked for the City and was in the break room and a guy was eating a greasy hunk of meat. The guy asked if he wanted a bite, my brother asked what is it. Man answered back, possum.... my brother asked where did you get it. Man answers back, found on the roadside dead. TRUE STORY!!!

I put the giblets in the dressing (ground and cooked first) but but......is that what the giblets are?   

I always thought gizzards were chicken testicles. 

[Brandi]

What a cutie Tolerance.  How you doing today?

I am fine, Green Eyes, thank you!
Am glad to read that the fridge is repaired and NRCG has good medicine and is on the mend and the donks are cooling off.
so good news all around?!  (except for our children awaiting justice or recovery)

Ya know, I honestly debated not coming to SM anymore after yesterday.  I had a bit of a rough time after reading some of the sad and horrible experiences some Monkeys have had in their pasts. (Posts on the Kyron thread) They brought up some things for me that are better NOT brought up.  I was thinking these forums are maybe not for me.
Then I decided to concentrate on the wonderful things I have felt reading here and how welcome posters have made me feel.
and here I am.
Concentrating on the kindness and friendship.
Then I saw Brandi's welcome gate and that just put me over the top.

so .....YES, I am good this morning and I thank  you for caring..........all of you.
Pat

Glad you came back!

Please tell me JSM that those calf fries aren't made out of pieces of calf fried up?

I know NRCG    Hubs grand mother was from Tennessee and she loved squirrel. Thank goodness we lived far away and I never had to try it.

  I remember when I was real young and my grandma served my mom and me some meat and we ate it, after she told us it was deer, and I cried hysterically thinking I ate Bambi.  I don't experiment with food 

No Rose, I can't eat venison either because I think I am eating Bambi too.

[Brandi]

Spent the first 4 hours of my time on the computer today trying to make an avatar monkey with rabbit ears. Then decided I needed input from the requester to go further.

I have finally caught up in this thread today and wanted to tell you why I wasn't able to be here when you all were, to join in the conversation.

I sure appreciate all the lovely things you all have said to me! You are all so kind.

I need to go catch up on Kyron's, Caylee's and Haleigh's threads now.

Whew! So much to read and so little time!

Good to be back.

 

  Sorry I missed you last night Brandi!!! Glad you are back!!!!!!

Thanks, JSM!

I wanted to say something to you about keeping your cell hone in your bra, or anywhere close to your body.

Did a little research after you mentioned you had done that, and I think it is very unsafe.

People who wear their phone on their bodies, clipped to their pants or in a pants or shirt pocket, can be exposed to bursts of emissions caused by incoming calls or data transmissions.

At the heart of the issue are the levels of radio waves that mobile phones emit, also known as radio frequency or RF. These are stronger than an FM radio signal but just one-billionth the intensity of an X-ray, which are known on occasion to cause cancer.

These levels are recorded as a SAR level, which stands for Specific Absorption Rate, which is the maximum recorded rate at which your body absorbs radio waves per mass of body tissue (watts per kilogram).

Cell membranes in the body are electrically charged and the pulsed radio waves used by mobile (phones) make them vibrate, dislodging the calcium that binds the cells together. This makes them more permeable and releases enzymes that can damage the DNA in genes, including those that protect against cancer.

Nokia 1100 warns:"This product meets RF exposure guidelines . . . when positioned at least 1.5 cm (about 1 inch) away from the body . . . and should position the product at least 1.5 cm away from your body."Similarly, Motorola V195 GSM manual warns to keep the mobile device 2.5 cm from the body.And the BlackBerry 8300 manual warns to keep the device at least 0.98 from the body and "should not be worn or carried on the body. "But how many owners read their manuals? If the warnings were meant to be read, they should be on the device itself. And if these companies were truly concerned about safety, the device could be manufactured so it cannot be used closer than the "safe" limits.

iphones:
'Don't have mobiles (cell phones) by your bed if you want a good night's sleep,' says Andrew Goldsworthy. 'The continuous pulse fires up the brain cells and can interfere with sleep.' iPhones are a particular risk, he warns, because they are on permanent standby, even when switched off.

They are deactivated and not receiving signals only when in flight mode on an airplane.

I took notes from a variety of articles last night and wanted to share the info with you. Don't want to come off as a lecture, but just wanted to present you with the info!

Good article here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1287842/As-scientists-warn-regular-mobile-use-CAN-cause-cancer-just-safe-mobile-phone.html#ixzz0xfknYaxD

I'm glad you are staying Tolerance      Mission yes the headache is better and more tolerable this morning already from one antibiotic.

Glad the anitibiotic is helping and your headache is better.  Hope you are having a good day No Rose, tell Buddy I said hi.

I will, hope Josef is feeling better with his darn stomach. Know how that is  and it isn't funny. Does Josef eat a special dog food for his stomach issues? Zoe had to be on one.

He was better this morning. He does eat special food and I think they didn't feed him his own food when I left him overnight on Monday. Could be what the problem was.

I seriously must be missing something, do people really eat possums and turkey testicles?

I know NRCG    Hubs grand mother was from Tennessee and she loved squirrel. Thank goodness we lived far away and I never had to try it.

  I remember when I was real young and my grandma served my mom and me some meat and we ate it, after she told us it was deer, and I cried hysterically thinking I ate Bambi.  I don't experiment with food 

I guess it's what you grow up eating. I have had deer, elk and even moose. But I am not one to try new things and certainly nothing that even remotely sounds strange. I don't like fish either. 

Moose? You ate Bullwinkle...

I'll eat fish if it is fried but that is it. If I have vanilla zingers, burgers, sandwiches and tacos I'm happy.

I have had deer and goat,but I am not a fan.   
Deer tastes to sweet to me and goat is too stringy.Aren't you glad I shared that with you?   

  OMG thanks for sharing Trimm. You gonna be the possum queen 2010?

I don't even remember what the deer tasted like, but my mom was very upset also. And I come from big deer hunting country, go figure. I've never had goat, but one Christmas the three of us were invited to a neighbor's house and they had duck, and I didn't care for that either, it was to greasy or something. I'm real picky with what I eat.

Never had duck. My ex BGF was Czech and they would eat a carp at Christmas. YUCK

Turkey Testicle Festival    I'm not even going to touch that

YUK

 

I take you and I won't be eating that    Have fun in Chicago soon, the weather is pleasant there right now  PJ's eyes blinking look so cool Brandi. 

Thanks No Rose plan on having lots of fun in Chicago. I get to play golf.  Yeah PJ's blinking eyes are so cool Brandi!!

Poor Josef, that is what would happen if Zoe ate something she shouldn't have.              Brandi, thank-you for that info about phones and putting it in your bra  My younger daughter does that all the time  my older daughter doesn't, but she doesn't have much there to keep a phone in a bra  I'm going to tell her to stop doing that.

No, not calf. I don't eat calf.

I was a vegetarian for years, and the sight of a big hunk of meat turns me off big time. I only eat meat in small pieces, like a small burger or in a taco.
