JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD # 23 12/13/10 - 1/17/11

[joesamas mama]

Thanks for daughters well wishes. They gave her one of those double whammy antibiotic shots plus meds so she should be feeling better soon. 

Brandi I always forget about Mardi Gras. I would have had to look it up too. Time to go start dinner hope everyone has a great evening.

Has 4Donks been here today? I hope she is okay just busy.

Hi Green Eyes. Hope your daughter is feeling better. Weather is warming up but now they are forecasting rain and storms. Better than ice and snow. It is really strange...most of the snow has melted but for some reason the lower pasture is a perfect white square. The snow isn't leaving there...weird

  Glad you are okay 4 donks. Guess you are going to get our storms we had last night. Stay warm and dry. 

[Brandi]

Hi 4 donks and TBM... Greeneyes was just asking about you 4 donks. TBM I am hungry, I want a coney. 

Allow me ....

Allow me ....

I have to learn to eat a proper diet. Last night I turned on the deep fryer and had a great big plate of tater tots and beer batter onion rings. Not balanced but GOOOOOOOD ! Tonight I had a toasted peanut butter and bacon sammich. At least there was protein involved. TBM I could really use a coney dog.

  Onion rings and tater tots!!! Love them. I am having a sammich tonight. 4 donks, do y'all do black eyed peas and cabbage for New Years? I always thought it was a Southern thing, but maybe just a Texas thing. Just wondering.

I got a great fryer for Christmas two years ago. Used it quite a bit that winter. Made doughnuts, even. LOL

Darn thing made some great fried food! Bet your tater tots are much better in that fryer than in the oven. LOL

Also used a LOT of oil each time. Too much. Got expensive. (Do you re-use your oil? If so, how do you store it?)

Haven't used it since.

Eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is thought to bring prosperity.

The "good luck" traditions of eating black-eyed peas at Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, are recorded in the Babylonian Talmud.

In the United States, the first Sephardi Jews arrived in Georgia in the 1730s, and have lived there continuously since. The Jewish practice was apparently adopted by non-Jews around the time of the American Civil War.

In the Southern United States,[5] the peas are typically cooked with a pork product for flavoring (such as bacon, ham bones, fatback, or hog jowl), diced onion, and served with a hot chili sauce or a pepper-flavored vinegar.

The traditional meal also features collard, turnip, or mustard greens, and ham. The peas, since they swell when cooked, symbolize prosperity; the greens symbolize money; the pork, because pigs root forward when foraging, represents positive motion.[6] Cornbread also often accompanies this meal.

<snipped from wikipedia>

Traditional New Year foods are also thought to bring luck. Many cultures believe that anything in the shape of a ring is good luck, because it symbolizes "coming full circle," completing a year's cycle. For that reason, the Dutch believe that eating donuts on New Year's Day will bring good fortune.

Many parts of the U.S. celebrate the new year by consuming black-eyed peas. These legumes are typically accompanied by either hog jowls or ham. Black-eyed peas and other legumes have been considered good luck in many cultures. The hog, and thus its meat, is considered lucky because it symbolizes prosperity. Cabbage is another "good luck" vegetable that is consumed on New Year's Day by many. Cabbage leaves are also considered a sign of prosperity, being representative of paper currency. In some regions, rice is a lucky food that is eaten on New Year's Day.

Tell you how slow I am this morning. When I saw the picture CC posted I thought he had photo shopped the couch.  Then it dawned on me the couch matched the chair.    Cute pic JSM. But where is the pic of CC on the couch?  Fairs fair you know

One more day 

I thought the same thing about the couch.   

Oh Trimm I am so glad I wasn't the only one.   Did you get in to see you doctor today? Just got back from taking daughter she as pneumonia. So please take care of your self.

I hope your daughter feels better soon Greeneyes.

GE - prayers your daughter gets well soon!

Hi 4Donks glad you are ok. It sounds like you are getting the rain that came though here yesterday. Yes rain is much better than the snow and ice.  That's weird that one pasture hasn't melted.

Hope your daughter gets well fast!

Pneumonia! I am so old that pneumonia scares the life out of me! I remember when pneumonia caused death! Great to have new treatments that work!

JSM, good to hear your computer is fixed. Hooray!

Bearly, good to see you. (I keep saying that, but I don't think you see.)

Trimm, I sure hope you got to the doc and got some good meds to get you well!

Sorry about all the rain (again) no rose. Sheesh, I thought the rain was over with! At least it is getting cooler, right?

Nice to see you back Tolerance!

Thanks, Brandi!  I am skipping all around, that is why I see some and not others.

 

[Bearlyhere]

went to the closing..it was delayed! should be closing as we speak..they had to wait on some paperwork for the buyer..all the papers from me and hubs were signed, the money was wired to the title company last week so I assume that it will go through alright..the buyers love the house, went through it again this morning final walk through and their realtor said that they love it and are very excited...I didn't get to meet them cause I am not going back to the closing..will wait for my realtor to bring over my check...keep thinking of me monkeys cause it ain't over yet! Buyers are here from out of state though and the money is here so more than likely it will be ok..

I had some flowers delivered to the house for them saying "Welcome Home"....if this doesn't go through, I am going after my flowers lol...

Cookie, that was lovely.  I hope everything went well.  I am trying to go in an orderly fashion here, but my computer is touch sensitive and I never know where I end up.  This in the new one I got last year that stopped working and now the old one I was using stopped working again and the new one started working again.

Good grief!

 

[Bearlyhere]

I wonder if NRCG had her power turned off today instead of the other day. Hope she is alright.

Good morning, I'm okay    I'm playing with my new roomba vacuum and hanging some new curtains. I can't believe how that vacuum works, it really picks up a lot of stuff. Hope everyone is having a good day   cookie hope all goes well with the house. I hope Josef is feeling better this morning.  

I gave my mom a new Roomba 2 years ago and she never used it.

 

[Bearlyhere]

check for the selling of home in my hand as I type! 

 

[Bearlyhere]

Nice to see you Bearly. Hope you had a great Christmas and I hope the pizza party was a success.

Happy New Year to you also!!!

The party was fun.  He had a tough Christmas, his father passed away this year and Christmas was hard.

Happy New Year to you, also!

 

[Bearlyhere]

Hi monkeys. I can't use this darn phone I accidentally pressed report to moderato on Greeneyes  gonna take me awhile to get use to this have a good evening hopefully my computer will be back tomorrow. Oh thanks for the prayers. Josef's bloodwork came back normal.

I am praying for your baby, JSM!  (The 4-legged one).

  That sounds like something I would do.   Good thing I wasn't on line they might have come after me.

Hope everyones having a good evening. It's raining and cold here tonight. It's good to know the button is working. Thanks for letting us know Muffy

  Glad they didn't come after you Greeneyes. Hope you had a restful night.  

You are very lucky.  She would have looked out the door and seen this:

           

The Mod Squad, aka  Klaas' Angels

'Book 'er San-O."    

Sorry, GE, I am still asleep and dreaming.

[Bearlyhere]

Oh my,I hope your daughter gets to feeling better soon. 
Hot DR was doing nerve blocks yesterday so he was very busy.I may try to see him today.
No fever now,just sore from coughing and sneezing.Been trying to read some of the motions I posted in the Caylee thread.When I am sick nothing sinks in.   
The only thing I am clear on is Baez has probably destroyed a small forest with all the paper wasted on these motions.
