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

[Green Eyes]

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.

[Green Eyes]

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 

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

is that what a giblet is?

YEP

OMG I can't even imagine eating them.  Giblets are the heart and liver and kidneys of the bird.  I know a place in Montana that has bull testicles on their menu. The locals love them. DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!

Well at least we can rest our minds with what giblets are, I was getting scared. Bull testicles, I wonder if that is deep fried also?

  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

OMG,
So sorry for the huge pic.
I better go over to the practice thread to figure out how to post a manageable size.
Please forgive me.
I just wanted to show you PJ in his kitty cube.................but I didn't want to BLIND you with it!

PJ is adorable. No need to resize the picture Tolerance.

[Green Eyes]

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

Yes it's hard to read how others have suffered and how the children are being taken, and disposed of with out a care. We all have taken a break from time to time because it gets to us. I have faith that justice will be served for all. Maybe not justice here on earth but they all will get what they deserve in the end. My mom always said what goes around comes around. I am glad you decided to stick around. 

[joesamas mama]

Hey Tolerance.   
It'll really be interesting around here this weekend.

  I don't read Kyrons too much, so don't know what is going on over there. Please don't leave SM Tolerance. I try to just stick to Caylee's and when it gets too much to handle I back away and stay in this cage to play.

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.

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

[joesamas mama]

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.

[no rose colored glasses]

Out to water before the heat hits, and the Terminex guy is coming again this afternoon. I swear we live on a giant ant hill, and it is way past getting old

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.

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?   

[joesamas mama]

Going to walk the evil one and try and catch up at Caylee's. Don't really think I want to because I will get  and I am already stressed out about this d*mn phone. 

I can hardly use my phone let alone the iphone. But my kids love theres. You are a smart monkey you will get it. As for your storage can't help you with that. Granddaughter uses the waist of her jeans.

  Thanks Greeneyes, but I am stupid JSM when it comes to this phone. 

You certainly are NOT stupid............it is just a new toy that takes some time to get used to.
Keep 'monkeying' around w/ it.  You can't hurt it...........just keep clicking and looking and soon it will be easy for you.
Wish we could sit together for about 10 minutes.  I really remember feeling as you do w/ my new phone, now it is just fine.
You can do it!!

Thanks Tolerance, hopefully my fiancee can help me figure it out while I am in Chicago in 8 more days!!!!

[Brandi]

Brandi,
are your graphic skills self taught? or are you a graphic designer by profession?
Your talent is wonderful and blesses the whole Monkey Family!
P

Yes, it is. Self-taught. I have never taken any classes related to computers or graphics arts. But I love learning and making stuff!

I even made your little PJ blink!



Thank you for your comments!

OMG, that gave me chills.  That is exactly how he looks..................He is looking at me right now and you would be amazed at how much he looks like my Avi!
THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL PRESENT!

I love making animals blink. LOL

I cropped your current avatar and blew it up a little, then made him blink.

If you want to use him as your avatar, feel free to! If not, that's perfectly okay!

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 a turkey testicle, but I have eaten calf fries and they are yummy!!!!
