Yoda

hmmmmm okay, well I've never brought up actual food.....just the slime stuff that Mandi describes....so I guess I've never pb'd then....only slimed. I feel for ya Wheezy! You may need to have to keep a cup in the car at all times!! Biscuits are going to be hard because the more you chew it the more "gummy" and "gluey" it gets.....like bread....ya know?

Awesome job DeltaDawn!! :clap2:

sounds like a very kewl job and a great opportunity, Mandi!

awwwwwwwwwwww poor Dan!!! *evil grin*

really Cloe?! LOL I'm allergic to mussels...and have several hospital visits go prove it! LOL Thank god it is mussels and not muscles!

Yeah, glad to hear u are okay, overall; coulda been much worse. About 6 years ago (pre-band) I had an accident and I had the same type of injuries/soreness that you are describing.....from the seatbelt doing it's job. I had the entire seatbelt "imprinted" across my chest...you know...diagonally from the left shoulder, down across my chest, ribs, stomach to the other side. Like it was tatooed on my. Big ol' nasty bruise. It was quite painful. I didn't actually mind THAT injury as it likely helped make the damage less than it could have been. What I did NOT like was the damage from the damn airbag. It exploded in my face....giving me a very nice orbital fractue (fracture of the bones around the eye). Now, THAT was not pleasant! In my case, the airbag did more damage than any good it could have done. They are supposed to explode in your chest area....but due to most women's smaller height and positioning at the wheel, they unfortunately get us more in the face (which is the reasoning behind not putting kids in the front seat where there are airbags).

Mandi....my PBs are what you just described....I don't actually burp (tho I wish I could)....exactly what you described is what comes out....and I don't know how there can be so much of it!! LOL. aaaaah, the cookies. Welllllllllllll I'm not so sure what I was thinking....I was never very fond of pb and bananna sandwhiches.....and this pretty much tastes like that!!! But Mr. Yoda likes them....so all is not lost. At least I know I won't need to worry about eating 'em! Now, if they were just plain pb....oh yeah!!! Anyways, it made like a TON so I kept about a dozen of 'em and I'm taking 2-3 times that amount to work with me today with a note on the tin: "free to wanting tummy". They'll go that way! LOL. hey, but the house smelled yummy!

You can do steak but don't expect it to have the same texture as a "regular" steak.....it will be so tender/moist it will be fall aparty like a roast. Be yummy though. I can't seem to eat corn.....I can't chew the skin down and it doesn't go down well.

*hugs Loriely* there, there.....poor thing. Does Mr. Loriely have the same experiences? I can see it now, "I slime up more than you" "NO, I do!!"....."oh yeah, come see mine". LOL. Lila: I hear ya!! Too many "gatherings" revolve around food....people can't seem to get together without it....I never noticed that before and it drives me mad now!!! Maaaaaad, I tell ya, maaaad! Okay, off to bed now folks....I've been on and off here all night....'nuff is 'nuff! LOL

That is great Mandi; they sound nice. More rectangular frames are better suited for rounder faces....(dunno if you have a round face, just sayin'!). I have a round face, so rectangular frames suit me. I don't scrimp on glasses either; been wearing them since I was 8 yrs old. I got contacts at 18 and wore them mostly but the last year or so I wear my specs more than my contacts (way more!). I have about 5 pairs of prescription glasses now (2 are in my most recent script....but I can still wear the others if not for a long time). I am pretty much blind (seriously) without my glasses, so my lenses cost a lot. Plus mine are progressives (cha ching!) and I need to get high index (cha cha cha ching!!!) otherwise I'm wearing SUPER coke bottles. So, $150 would soooooo not cover my lenses; mine cost well over $600. But for "regular" lenses, it should be pretty close. But, as you said....they are a part of you.....so that is why I always just get what I like when it comes to the frames; regardless of price. I especially love my funky pair! Anyways, yay you!!! The new Mandi!!!! LOL

I haven't actually been to someone's house for a meal yet BUT I have had people at MY house (who do NOT know about the band) and have been at restaurants with people (who do not know about the band). To be honest, I think people are so wrapped up in what THEY are doing that they won't really notice it if you don't make a big deal out of it. That is what I have experienced. What they HAVE noticed is that I take a long time to eat. I tell them it is part of my "eating healthy kick"....to eat slower so that I enjoy my food and cut down on my portions by doing so. I find that in situations like that, I put more food on my plate than I normally would...and, of course, end up leaving a significant amount....but as far as they know, I took a "normal" amount and just didn't eat it all....in other words I don't think they notice I don't take a normal amount....then I eat a wee bit and have a wee bit left and they just think I ate a normal amount and left some. I haven't had anyone notice. If they do, I'm all set to say that my eyes were bigger than my stomach or something along those lines. I mean, if you push your food around and stuff and take teeny bites and chew a lot, they don't know it is the same bite and the same chewing of the same bite so they don't really notice. I have no idea if any of that made sense; it did in my head!

takes a sickie to know a sickie, me thinks!

Neenagh....hmmmmmmmmmmmm Mr. N. seems a wee bit sensitive on the mob subject! *thinkin' there might be a reason for that* LOL. Maaaaaaaaaaaan, we just had some stone work done in the back of our house last month ....we had a beeeeeeeeeooooooootiful interlocking stone patio put in (ie. instead of a deck) (note: we just moved into our new house - first one at that - last Oct). Where was he then? Hmmmm, mind you I don't think we would fit into the "rich clientele" area! We are going to get our front done in the spring (ie. stone stoop, steps, mini patio, driveway trim etc). Big bucks, but really worth it. *drooling at the thought of an Italian Stallion Mike Holmes*....okay, I now think I officially have a crush on Mr. Neenagh!!! LOL> Wheezy: *sympathetic hug for ya*. I can relate and understand; it is not trivial in the least. I completely can see your frustration. Cut backs suck...and they are everywhere.....do more with less.....grrrr! Keep your chin up.....

That is VERY funny. And....ironically, quite true! *waves at all the lurkers* C'mon.....c'mon outta the closet and join us!!! We seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you!

damn wagon!!! I never had 'em either Loriely....I was looking on the Kraft Canada site for a plain pb recipe (peanut butter, not "pb" as WE know it! LOL) and came across this pb bananna one and since I have a couple of nanners to get rid of; thought I'd try it. Last batch is in the oven right now. I'll let y'all know how they turn out. If nothing else, the house smells yummy!! ....and I didn't lick the bowl!

sounds like you have a kewl job Bright!!! Downtown TO....you must be close to the clinic then!! Neat. Your last post sounds like its from a dating site!!! LOL I mean that in the best possible way (I met Mr Yoda online...not a dating site, but online nonetheless!).

Wheezy: why was your day so shitty....what happened? C'mon....talk to us....let it out! Neenagh!!!!! An independent contractor!! kewl.....kinda like Mike Holmes?? (now THAT will make ME drool!!). Really though.....wanna switch for a bit? Mr Yoda will come and cook for you and Mr. Neenagh can come do some contractor work for me!! LOL Fair trade, I'd say! Not for long though, I'd want Mr Yoda back!!! hehe. Yeah, there's no mob.....that's just a fairy tale. *snicker*. (I know this will sound sick and twisted, but ever since I was a teen, I've had a fascination for those folks.....even though I KNOW they are bad news.....).

*waves* howdy BrightFuture (appropriate nic). Glad u joined us. I can understand why it took ya while though; I mean, certain folks can be quite intimidating (glares at Cloe and Mandi)...but you just have to learn to ignore them (sometimes they go off their meds...but truly, they are harmless). Welcome and congrats on the amazing job you have done so far!! Perhaps that homeless boy was the same one who wanted Green's liver!! hehe Where ya from? Give us some more info on you *whips file out to take notes*. Don't be a stranger.

u have to go back to the ticker factory website....when you click on it, ur ticker should come up and you put in the new numbers. Then you have to paste it into your sig. again.

Okay...Mr Yoda just left for his geeeeeeetar lesson so I'm gonna surprise him and go make him some peanut butter bananna cookies!!! Maybe I'll let myself lick the bowl.

Petttttoooooieeeeee.....hack hack hack I should learn to keep my mouth closed when she does that!

Neenagh: what does Mr. Neenagh do for a living? I think I like him, by the way! Lila.....pssssssssssst I need you on my rolodex!!!

*hands Neenagah a teeny straw*....here ya go...u can suck up the drool that way!

Kewl Neenagh...didn't know you spoke Italian!!!

What crafts do you do Cloe?
