[Northern Rose]

What happened to Northern Rose?   

My internet kept dropping last night.  Had a not so enjoyable call with another call centre person who did not have English as a first language again this morning.  At least this one pronounced Router - Rooter .  The last one called it a wowter.  Hi GE- hope you are well.  You did not scare me.  It is just a battle of wills with my connection these days and last night I did not have the fight in me. 

[Northern Rose]

Deenie - I see you up there.  You mentioned Kale a few days ago and I would very much LOVE a new recipe for it.

ARNOLD, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - A sour crime: Police are looking for a large M&M candy man stolen from a convenience store in Arnold, Missouri as customers and a clerk looked on in disbelief. Why would anyone want to steal the little guy and why was he stolen in the first place? These are just a few questions being raised as cops try to crack the caper. But there is some good news: the "candy-napper" was caught on tape.

"He had on a red Cardinals baseball cap before he came in and bought his beer a few minutes earlier," said Melissa Crane, a detective with the Arnold police.

Crane is the lead detective in this terrible abduction of one of her city's landmark leaders. The M&M candy display man is somewhere and surveillance video shows the man who stole him. He came into the store earlier and bought a 30-pack of beer.

Fifteen minutes later he returned, bareheaded, threw the packs of M&Ms on the floor and walked out with the display man under his arm.

"In the video it shows one customer actually holding the door open for him while he was emptying out the candy," Detective Crane said.

Clerk Lonnie Joyce says during the first visit the man offered $20 for the display but was turned down. He left and came back.

"Then he picked it up and ran outside with the two girls that he was with," Joyce said.

One drove the getaway car, an early model burgundy 4-door Honda.

The M&M statue costs about $300. Anyone with information should contact the Arnold, Missouri police.

Good Morning
Remember a few days back, I told you I had a friend "Banana" who worked at the Humane Society for years and helped my sick kitten. I Found Her.  She is on my facebook as of today.
I wrote her and gave her your email.  I told her that I would write you and find out - and then write Banana - so she would know how to help ( if she is able)

But I don't know the status of your Pup ((( hope she is doing better))) .. But Banana I know will chat with you if you still need help or need to ask any ??...she is like a Doggy Angel guardian.

Hey, we are on day three of the magic pill.  After seven days we can see if it is working.  KNOCK ON WOOD - I am seeing her responding more and more.  She is eating again, no tossing her cookies, perking up and even her breath smells better!  Actually, I said that funny, but she had been having bad breath lately and I was just thinking it was her teeth - due to be cleaned, but that odd odor is gone and I think it was related to this gallbladder issue. 
So, right now as long as her gall bladder doesn't rupture and as long as next Wed - the tests show the medicine is liquidizing the gunk - she won't have to have surgery.  If the med works she can be managed with meds or be cured all together. 
So, if you want to have her just say hi via email and tell her if things turn bad I might email her, that would be great.

I know you have.  I told hubby to buy a new wowter today so I would not have to play "buy a vowel" anymore with the call centre people.  I can only hope it works.

Hi Ms Northern... I am still here. Ummmm I don't really have any Kale recipes. I have a All Vegan Restaurant local to me. They make it all the time. It is soooo good. They have recipes on their website. I am not sure if they have any for Kale. They steam it and add their magic ( seasonings)

They only have one recipe right now and its with Mushrooms and Squash.
