Shiela, re. WRONG PLACE Heh...as a Supreme Court Justice said, "I don't know what pornography is, but I know when I see it". And so, apparently, do those guys. ...looks like a Norman Rockwell fever dream. *puts a quarter in the jukebox* O the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone They were waiting for me, when I thought that I just can't go on And they gave me their comfort, and later they gave me their song Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been traveling so long Yes you who must lose everything that you cannot control It begins with your family, but soon it comes round to your soul Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned They lay down beside me, I made my confession to them They touched both my eyes, and I touched the dew on their hem If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon Don't turn on the light, you can read their address by the moon And it won't make me jealous if I learn that they've sweetened your night We weren't lovers like that, and besides it would still be alright We weren't lovers like that, and besides it would still be alright -Sisters of Mercy / Leonard Cohen (Message edited by Mark on March 25, 2006) | ||

Astro sips his coffee and gives Susi a smile. "They're fine and doing well. I suspect our oldest may be getting married sometime soon. LOL, I can't wait to have grandbabies running about although the better half isn't in a hurry for a title change. Finally convinced my son that I can still shovel snow, but thanked him for his offer during this last storm. LOL, there is still some fight in this old workhorse! How is your family, friend?"

(Follows Mark with "Suzanne" by Judy Collins and Leonard Cohen.Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night beside her And you know that she's half crazy But that's why you want to be there And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from China And just when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That you've always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.) This little ditty seems to calm you a bit, Brighid. Your dog will get used to the new routine, don't give up, also put newspapers around where he likes to "doo doo" the most, ammonia the rest or red pepper. He'll figure it out. Got a grandbaby coming in May (another boy, that's three male grandkids!!) Thanks for the cuppa joe Astro, could sure use it, worked on my Oil painting this morning early (7:30) and the phone rang insessently, no one else can seem to pick it up, but me, and I was outside. ARGH!! Daughter looked at the caller ID said it was my best friend, so I called, it wasn't, woke her up (8:30) Didn't get much painting done, oh well, maybe next week. (Washes hands of oil out back, making sure the elbows get done, and grabs a cream cheese/walnut and raison bread sandwich.) Yum, so magical I keep wanting to write it sandWITCH!! | ||

I'm getting a Bach herbal remedy for poor Tandy, whose obviously suffering from anxiety (due to everything she's been through.) Rescue Remedy. Used to use it on the horses too for like moving them and stuff, or working with horses that had been abused. Good for humans too, and not powerful or dangerous like chemical medications tend to be. I just read they even subscribe elavil and SSRIs for dogs! *DIES* Been reading up on behavioural training too for the poor thing. It'll take time but I have faith in her.

Hey L.A.B. - I saw a show where they found Suzanne - the lady who the song was about. She's real. She's living in Southern California in a community known for its 60's-style counterculture way of life. She built a mini-cabin on her pickup truck and has been living like a gypsy out of her truck, with her dog, ever since the old days. She fell off the truck while she was building her camper/cabin and is on disability. This ended her dancing career. She's still beautiful, though, and has been keeping the faith although she says Leonard snubbed her when she saw him at a festival in the 70's. And she did "feed him tea and oranges that came all the way from China" (canned Mandarin oranges) , and says they never hooked up because it was HER idea to remain platonic friends, although L.C. says it was his decision. She was in the musical Hair, I think. Professional dancer part-time, free spirit full time. Arts crafts music and freedom. | ||

I loved those. our yesterdays our yesterdays we re so in love.............................. don’t worry not back sliding just in a good mood and I always hear that particular song. can hear some one now telling me that I am integrating fiction in to my personal mythology. ya its called culture mark! any way hope all are well | ||

Have a recipe from a Welsh grandmother for "green tomato" mince meat, that one can bottle. It's yummy if you enjoy "sweet meat" recipes. (Contains ground up 5 lbs. (13 1/2 c.) green tomatoes,left over from harvest (put in boiling after grinding and rinsed through boiling water, let stand in collandar/water 10 minutes) 8 lbs.(21 1/2 c.) apples, peeled and cored, 1 orange, (peel and deseed), 1 lemon (peeled and deseed), use meat grinder to grind up, medium cut), 2 lbs. raisins, 2 boxes currants, 8 cups sugar, 2 tbls. Salt 1/2 c.brandy or two bottles brandy-flavoring, 3 cups suet/lard,(suet is hard to come by in meat departments) 3 tbls. cinnamon, 1 tsp. allspice, 1 tsp. cloves, 1 tsp. nutmeg. Bring to boil in two large 3 quart pans for 10-15 minutes, then pour into Ball jars and seal with lids/rings. (leave 1/2 inch from very top, and make sure the bottle top is clean, before putting on lids and rings.) Makes about 8 bottles, (8 sheet cake pies or 16 regular mince pies) The green tomatoes are unnoticable, yet they keep the mince from being too sicky sweet. The bottles will seal on their own, no "hot bath" necessary, just make sure the lids "ping" and after 6 weeks, it's ready to bake into pies, I do a cookie sheet pie, bake it, then frost it with almond flavored white frosting. Let set up and cut into small 3 inch squares. Yummy Christmas treat. (Pours the 4-bean and dreams of the spicy smells baking around .) (Message edited by Leathab on March 26, 2006) | ||

mmm...i love fried green tomatoes. anyone seen the movie? it was wonderful. when i was younger we lived in the country in florida and we'd go out and pick up green tomatoes along the road that fell off the trucks. that's how they go to market you know...they gas them to make them red. that's why they're hard as a rock. blech. nothing like 'real' vine ripe tomatoes. | ||
