I repeated your comment (on my blog about my husband's injuries) to my son (17), a rock/ice climber - the punchiline being - if it moves, it's a rock... And my son spit out the water he was drinking, he was laughing so hard! Thanks for that one.

Re: Extreme Makeover
GAP!
DESPERATE MULTIPLE HOUSEWIVES! I laughed so hard that beer came out of my nose! That tingled at first, then it burned! Still it was worth it to read your inspired rejoiner. Just warn me to swallow before reading, the next time. A beer is a terrible thing to waste. I like your style.

Re: Guy, About the recipes
Thanks for getting back to me about the ingredients. I suspect that Niblets frozen corn would work as a substitute. This is my favorite out of season corn. In season, you cannot beat Golden Bantam! Regarding email, I had the same problem with my email to one coworker. My messages kept getting kicked back with a message that read something like, "Message undeliverable due to member complaints!" I swear that I never hit on her, (She is old enough to be my WIFE!) so I totally understand.
She begged me to retype her email address because this fixed her similar problem sending mail. As I was sending a recent message to multiple friends, I tried sending it to her, without attempting her remedy, just to see. Presto Derango it worked! And all this time I just thought that Bill Gates or George II was bleeping with me. If they hate me it is understandable. I may have said unkind things about them or their parentage in the past when I was off my meds and just did not remember doing it.
I checked with the local constabulary and my coworker never filed a restraining order, so it could have actually been a glitch in the system. On the other hand, maybe the new pope put a curse on me because I teased him about his new name I said, "Benedict! Hell I broke it!" Some guys can't take a joke! Thanks for clearing this up, my friend.

Extreme Makeover
I think underneath all that severe unattractiveness lie some hotties; they just need the right (Hollywood) makeup artists. You know, the ones that make Brittney Spears look decent these days. Makeup, hair sheers and plunging necklines and they could star on Desperate Multiple-Housewives...

Guy,
Got your email about the recipes. For some reason I receive yours but cannot reply or send -- they keep coming back as a delivery failure of some sort.
So to answer your question, I get most of my ingredients at any grocery store, but some specialty items may require a trip to a place like World Market. Also, local seafood from here may not be readily available there. The best thing to do, I suppose, is to tell me whihc recipes you are interested in trying, and I'll try to find alternate ingredients more easily obtainable that will work for you.
As for shoepeg corn -- that is available in any grocery store -- it's just a tyype of young corn, smaller, sweeter kernels.
Let me know which ones you want to try!

It can be amazing the accuracy in attempted humor. We have a term out here "Jack Morman" and it is for those who give the rhetoric but don't practice or practice (tongue in cheek) and live like the sinners (ha,ha) behind closed doors (so they think). The Texas fiasco is nothin' but Jack Morman. The Morman network and their networking is incredible. They own Salt Lake and it is the hub for fuel distribution in the Northwest. Needless to say we get 'jacked' in Boise, full pun intended. For fun, when you see news from out here and the guys are all wearing white dress shirts, it is the 'good ole boys club' beyond what you can imagine. Their business community will drive a supercilious stick pin in your heart facing you and praising the Almighty at the same time. Well I am out of here, I have my own mission (they are required to do a two year mission to spread the
Book of Morman after high school) and it is about serving God, not the dollar as it is with them and their ornate temples. But, to all my dear Morman friends, I can't apologize they brought this on themselves. Have a great day Guy, this blog entry has fired me up so thanks! sam

Re: Secretive sects
Sam,
And here I was thinking that I was just being politically incorrect and insensitive while attempting to be humorous. Maybe I was just being accurate!

---------Re: I can't say I disagree with any of this, really.
Strat,
Maybe an uinitended benefit of the DNA tests that the Texas authorities are having performed, will be that someone can isolate the gene for ugly! By the way, I still wonder what on earth shoepeg corn is.

I live in a community that is dominated by Mormonism and Catholicism. I see morman, I run; I see Catholic, I open my pockets to demonstrate they are empty. lol Actually, you make good sense. The sect that are offshoots of the main branch serve to demonstrate that the original concept was flawed. The Morman religion is so secretive it is scary. When they close their doors of their so called precious temples to the general public then they open themselves up for scrutiny. I could go on forever about the Mormans and how they carry themselves but why put any more junk in cyberspace! sam

Mind control cults probably need to be sequestered in one completely unappealing place where we can watch to make sure it doesn't spread elsewhere.
