Sorry Heidi, that sounded very rude. I'm sure they taste great - I'm just not certain about coloured potatoes.

Tami, It sounds like you had a great night. Photos for Grandmas are always a winner. A few Christmases ago we gave my mum a frame with a photo of each of her 4 grandchildren in their year 12 formal outfits. It has pride of place in the lounge room.

But Tami, grandparents love to dote on, and spoil grandkids. They don't treat their kids the same because they're trying to maintain discipline. Kids would walk all over parents who treat their kids like little deities.

It didn't sound rude, Vicki. A lot of people are put off by unusual food colors. A few years back I bought some catsup that was green, and some that was purple. I loved it, it tasted really good, but IH wouldn't go near it. I had to buy the traditional red stuff for him.

Greetings sudokuland friends, Hope that everyone is doing well and is warm or cool enough.

TAMI, Of course grandma's hang photos of all the grandies, well most grandmother's do! My Mom had a long hall and the wall on one side was photos of her children and grandies, almost floor to More...

Still St. Patrick's Day here, so Happy St. Patrick's Day, Everyone!

Hi, June, MizTricia, Heidi, Suzanne, Suzy, Victoria, Broni, Tami

June, I hope the men liked the green scones! They sound more appetizing than green beer! Did you save out one for yourself?

Liked your cake More...

Afternoon all!
Looking back, there were a couple of photos of us around the house, but dozens of the grandies. I don't think Mum has put them up at her new place though.

I did have to deliver the cross country permission slip to the school, but that wasn't the first text I received this More...

Hi all

My family seems to live by the saying, It never rains but it pours...
I have just returned from visiting a sister who is in hospital, the other side of town. She dislocated her ankle and broke it in three places on Sunday night in a boating incident!. Never one to do things by More...
18/Mar/10 5:05 PM
 |  |

Ouch Gail! Yet another hurdle... speaking of memories your latest hurdle sent me down flashback lane and I've just deleted a whole lot of irrelevant stuff. If I saw your sister though I would say to her - ask for the pain killers, and do it before the pain gets really bad. If you wait it takes More...

Our latest hurdle - Ally has decided not to eat meat. At first it was only meat that made too much methane, but now she is going for the cruelty thing too. That would be fine, admirable even, if she didn't also refuse to eat all of the things that you eat when you don't eat meat so that you have a balanced diet!! These things are sent to try us...
18/Mar/10 7:25 PM
 |  |

Gail... Please send your sister my deepest sympathy.... and some help... . I know how she feels... literally.
18/Mar/10 8:25 PM
 |  |

Suzy... Please tell Ally that animals raised for meat can not be treated with cruelty. I raise meat animals. I frequently am present when my animals are "processed". They are put down quickly and painlessly. They have to be. If they are scared or seriously upset, they have a burst of More...
18/Mar/10 8:52 PM
 |  |

Thank you Heidi, I will talk to her about that. It will help. I don't really mind her choosing not to eat meat as she was not nagging us about our choices etc, but I do mind her not getting a balanced diet.

I also was thinking I knew what Gail's sister meant, though at a much smaller More...
18/Mar/10 10:58 PM
 |  |

Thanks ladies.
The slight irony is, my sister is a nurse, no longer on wards, but still in the profession in a phone counseling capacity. As I said to her, all doctors and nurses should have to have an enforced hospital stay, in all it's glory. She responded staying that if she had, it would More...

Also, Suzy, you might explain to her that the video footage "out there" showing animals being abused at the processing plants is staged, usually by PETA. To get the general public outraged, and get massive donations for themselves, they send their own people into the plants, as More...

Morning all!
That sucks for your friend Heidi - even though they knew it was a set up he still lost his business? Inadequate supervision I suppose. It's like the worker who bypasses the safety switches and then the company is charged when he/she is injured... I didn't see this story but hubby More...

Gail, Ebob wants to be a doctor with plans to get there via the RN/Paramedic route. I told her I approved as I felt she would see things as a nurse and paramedic that would make her a much more empathetic doctor. From what your sister says I also need to injure her somehow so she can spend time as a patient....

Didn't she have a broken arm last year? I know, that doesn't qualify as an inpatient.
19/Mar/10 8:40 AM
 |  |

Suzy... the facility was a large sow and pig operation. Something like 30,000 sows. It's really hard to get enough reliable workers there, and impossible to supervise all of them 24/7. The USDA shut him down for animal abuse after PETA sent them the tape anonymously. It wasn't until after he More...
19/Mar/10 8:52 AM
 |  |

Ally was our broken arm girl. Ebob has had rotator cuff and ankle problems, but nothing requiring even an emergency room visit since she was about 6. I hope it stays that way personally, even if it would be better for her future empathy levels to get hurt!

I can understand fighting to More...

Good morning All,
Gail, sorry to hear about your sister. Hope she is soon better.
Suzy, we went through the vegetanian stage with D1. Lasted 6 months or more. I was able to get her to eat a bit of chicken occassionally though. More a nuisance than anything else!
just caught a large More...

Good Morning All.
Hope you are well and happy.
I knew there had to be more to that story when an Aussie Wine Company donated money to HSUS and all the farmers blacklisted the wine company.

Morning June, what about the spider's mate??
Dag, healing vibes for your sister.
Hi Zusy and Heidi.
Nice to see MizT popping in more, anymore news about the operation?

Good morning everyone!
Some interesting stories to read through. Middle daughter, aged 7 or 8, was vegetarian for approx. 1 hour, until I served dinner of lamb chops (her favourite) - she sat there for a while looking sad, then said "What the heck, it looks SO good!" and cleared her More...

Why, Sparks, we haven't seen you here in quite some time! How are you?
19/Mar/10 12:05 PM

Trying to be cordial to all - but it looks like I better go change my avatar. BRB!
19/Mar/10 12:06 PM

How about the bluebird of happiness/northern hemisphere spring? It seems a bit too early to start in with Easter avatars, though I might have enough to last through a couple of weeks.
19/Mar/10 12:07 PM
 |  |

How many avatars do you have, Julie?
19/Mar/10 12:30 PM
 |  |

Hi, Suzy, Gail, Heidi, June, Broni, and Judy!

Suzy, sorry one of your younguns was being the brunt of rude behavior! Are they allowed to have phones in school? Just before retiring, I was at a middle school (6th through 8th grades) and students were required to keep their phones in their More...

Heidi, I think I have well over 100 avatars. I had hoped that Gath would come up with a way to organize them. I sometimes have tried to submit a group based on a certain theme. They don't even show up together. I just scroll up and down trying to find them. I would like to add more, but it gets More...
19/Mar/10 12:49 PM
 |  |

I really would prefer to NOT eliminate avatars, only to need to resubmit them the next time I need them.
19/Mar/10 12:50 PM
 |  |

I have some ffuts to do. I hope to be back later.
19/Mar/10 12:55 PM
 |  |

Julie... it can be a real challenge locating smilies. Sometimes I have to go through the selection several times to find the one I want. I have the same problem when I submit them... they seem to show up randomly. It would even be easier if they were even in the order I submitted them, but they're not.
19/Mar/10 1:48 PM
 |  |

Does that mean Gath's "fix" to help supporting members sort smilies has not been as much as we had all hoped?
19/Mar/10 1:53 PM
 |  |

All we can do is put tags on the smilies on our "Update Details" page. It has no effect on reorganizing their order, or letting us store some away. In other words, it's useless.
