Lively Case Discussion #637 6/8 - 6/10/2007

ok I need to take a cupcake poll, informal of course  

I found a new recipe for a white cupcake that has lime in it, plus post baking you implant a whole strawberry in the middle of it? then you add icing and yes, you take the leaves off the strawberry and remove that hard little plug at the stem first  

does that sound appetizing or does it sound not so appetizing?

Sounds yummy sans the strawberry.

I think it sounds good. Veering toward strawberry shortcake kind of flavor.

I'm guessing you need to use smallish strawberries, make a little cut in the cupcake, and insert the strawberry as soon as they come out of the oven?

Many of us possess the same trusting nature as victims and carry around the same secrets as criminals -- whether it's debt, infidelity, or fetishes. With fascinating new insights from investigators and psychologists plus the friends and family of both the victims and the perpetrators, Secrets Can Be Murder illustrates just how little separates our so-called normal lives from that of a sociopath -- and how you can stay out of harm's way.

Not everyone with "secrets" commits murder over them.

Happy Birthday to Mister Toothbrush!

What I posted last night was meant for discussion.
 It may not have been known by all, but was almost immediately shot down as old news, insignificant news by one of 2 posters here that seem to go on the attack lately IMO, whenever I post anything [/i].
I still think it this news may have some significance, though "it hasn't helped us find Natalee".  This is undeniably true.

I am afraid after this last occurance I will not tango again.

I don't think it's just your posts.  I think some get irritated with the tango.  I, for one, would like to see more tango...but I guess that's not what most of our friends here want, so I try to keep it to a minimum.

[justinsmama]

I'll take my cupcake with the strawberry, none!

Good morning everyone.

Was wondering if y'all could do me a favor. Trying to test something on the SM Missing persons blog.

Could you guys go over and leave comments on the first 2 or 3 posts over there. Actually any of the posts that you see. Trying to check a problem with comments.

having a math question have anything to do with the problem of the comments...?

Justins - Mr. Toothbrush says thanks for the birthday greetings.  

He's getting kind of spoiled, you know. I took him out to lunch yesterday at the place of his choice, got up early this morning to go buy bacon and make him a big breakfast, and my mom is cooking dinner for us, and has even made him a gluten-free birthday cake.

He'll be fat when his birthday is over, but he'll be happy.  

[justinsmama]

Fat and happy can be good!

Gotta git for the afternoon. Been promising my mother all weekend that I would grocery shop for her. Btw, her 72nd birthday was yesterday! Last December darn neared kept that one from happening. She has fully recovered and is actually in far better health now~ no anemia and she continues to lose weight via better eating habits! Whoohoo! She is scheduled for surgery to reconnect the bowel this coming Friday. She is excited about it (hates the stoma). Gonna caution her that this surgery is gonna knock her for a loop and won't be all roses.

[robots]

U are getting rusty,Robots.I want justice,now.I am tired of waiting,for equity.

i GUARANTEE IT

 

[justinsmama]

Wait a minute... just how old is that old lady? I'm 49 and she had me when she was 23. *scratching head here* On my next bd I will be 50, so that would make her 73 now, right?

[BTgirl]

BB - I agree that it's not you that some posters get annoyed with - it's the tango in general.

I've decided the true division between people is that some like to solve riddles, and some don't. The riddle lovers enjoy trying to get their brain around S/S. The riddle haters only get annoyed by it. Having said that, I think the riddle lovers should be able to discuss it if they want to, and the riddle haters could maybe scroll past those particular posts. That's true, of course, of any posts that aren't designed to be offensive. People can make them, and  those who want to read them can. Those who don't want to read them can keep scrolling.

Amen Justins!

BT, please tell him I said Happy Birthday as well...and tell him how young he is

TY, Mishy. And I'll tell him how young he is, but he won't believe me. He's been referring to himself as "a gray-haired old man" all morning.   Of course, compared to me he is really young.    

[mishy]

Pffft! He's only a couple of years older than I am, and believe me when I tell you, that's young        

Has anybody seen DiHannah lately? I've got something for her and she hasn't answered my emails...

Thank-you for your input. I am sure after all this time there are some who could be  irritated with different topics which circulate frequently through the pages be it food or recipes, monkey health or troubles. IMO when a topic is not to my liking I look elsewhere temporarily. I don't turn and bash the poster or topic. Some feel their opinions carry more weight than others and this is just not the case, again IMO. To keep a lively forum and encourage new posters to join, I think this threat of attack by the zealous few needs to be ended. Some are very articulate, and others hit typos like I. It doesn't mean their message is deserving of consideration. I know many posters who have left here, or won't participate for just the reasons I have mentioned.

Hi Monkeys all,

Quick thought here. We are all Monkeys and friends and family. Just like in all families we do not always agree, like it or not.

I personally like to Shango Tango. I may not do it as well anymore or as often. I have always believed Shango and Simian were trying to tell us something.It may have been unfair of them to talk in riddles but there could have also been a reason for that. I also do not think it is terribly important to know there real life identity as it is to figure out the meanings in their riddles.

So please Bleached keep Shango Tangoing. I always admire your insight.
I also always admired Best Buddy or Claussen Investigations for what she added to the Theory and Speculation thread. JMHO
