RE: Are you a considerate guy and put the toilet seat down or could care less who falls in?

Hi , Lene , regarding your query about my recycling. That thing about reversing the undies works fine ! But I did have to go and buy a new 3-pack. The ones from the last time around finally gave up the ghost , got too full of holes in the wrong places. A hole in the underwear doesn't make them unusable; sometimes that extra hole is useful if it appears in the right place. The 3-pack works just fine for the reversing thing . The manufacturers must know that3 pairs , worn 2 days each , makes the whole week right up to Saturday shower day. I know , there's one day of the week left over , but who really needs underwear on Sunday anyway?

RE: Are you a considerate guy and put the toilet seat down or could care less who falls in?

Hi , Lene , I haven't heard from you in SO LOOOOONG !

I laughed again when I read this. You were right to resurrect this thread.

Oh , yeah; I changed the carpet in the closet last month.

RE: The "Pay It Forward" Movement

That's a nice story , Blondie.

You're a bright spot in the otherwise dreary forums.

RE: HI ALL!!!!!!

Hi , Red Countrygal !

Did you get the computer fixed ? *wink*

If you need advice , go to the Tech threads and ask on that thread. There are some whizzes listening in on here. I am not one of them.

RE: politically correct?

Ignorant : One who talks too loud on a cell phone is a public place , like theater , restaurant , or grocery store.


Do this one.....CUSTOMER SERVICE

RE: Are there really born losers and born winners?

I like the hockey reference. I hope they settle the strike.

RE: IDIOT of the day!

By the way , who's keeping score , and how am I doing in the race ?

RE: IDIOT of the day!

I know , I shouldn't have written anything , it just seemed funny that you are against country things , and you live right in it. But since you revealed that you are from London , I can see where you are "coming from". haha

Yeah , I like those things , that's what makes us all different. Peace be with you , my friend!

RE: IDIOT of the day!

My vote for idiot of the day goes to the guy ( don't remember his name) that doesn't like Nascar , country music , country ANYTHING ! And he's from SOUTH CAROLINA , for crying out loud !

Not meant as a mean poke at him , it just seems funny since he's from SC .

And yes , from some of my posts , I'm sure I qualify for the nomination , too !

RE: Are there really born losers and born winners?

Are you kidding? Of course people contrl their own lives.

You make choices , and so do I. Now , I could try as hard as I can , but I never would be President. But I can choose to get a job , or not. I choose to move to Germany , or not. A bum lying in the gutter has the same choices , and the same opportunity.

As you can see , I believe in self-determination.

RE: Is coffee enough to get you into bed or does the guy have to buy dinner too?

Jack , 42 isn't old ! I am 51 , and take a look at THIS !

OOPS , the censor took away the picture I posted.

SOOOO , how do you like your coffee ? With cream ? HA !
Don't say black , because that doesn't describe me.
Maybe with 2 lumps , if you give me a little time to recuperate between cups.

RE: Best shopping bargain..EVER

Years ago I found electrical testers in the Sears tool catalog. They were listed as $2.95 , or something like that. It should've been $22.95 , I know. I ordered 10 of them , gave some away , sold a few for $5.00 at work.

I tried to order more , but they mailed back that the price was $22.95 , so I cancelled .

I went to a "farmer's market" in Oklahoma. Every Saturday the local farmers gather and sell vegetables on the downtown street. You can get a bunch of anything for $1.00 or 2.00 . And the old farmers are the nicest sort. That's the real treat of the whole thing!

RE: Are you a considerate guy and put the toilet seat down or could care less who falls in?

If the users both have large butts , leave the seat up all the time.

There's no danger of falling in , anyway!

RE: Going on a trip...

Newchick , get on the web and contact the Chamber of Commerce for events .

Calgary has (arguably) the best rodeo in the world , called the Calgary Stampede.

I was in Alberta , Calgary , in 1977. Yeah , 1977 !
I saw a small rodeo , not the Stampede.

RE: What is your "famous" signature dish?

Not a signature dish , but good.

"Fish Dumplings" . REALLY !

Begin with a GIANT kettle. Boil 1 cup water , put in 1/2 chopped onion, minced garlic , pepper , chili powder , curry. Add 2 more quarts water. While waiting for that to boil , mix the dumplings.

Here's how: Break 5 eggs in a bowl , add milk , baking powder , flour , and some corn meal. Mix to the consistency that it drips freely from a spoon.

When the pot water boils , drip the dumpling batter into the water. Move around so that it doesn't blob in one spot.
You may have to add more water. Don't burn the bottom.
When it's all in , turn down the fire to low. Make sure you keep enough water. The large kettle will be filling up.

While you are waiting , thaw 3 or 4 catfish fillets , then cut into bitesize pieces. Drop them into the mix. Take 2 tins of smoked oysters , or some raw oysters , and cut them up and add. Get i package , 1pound , of crawdad tails and chop slightly. Put them in. OH , I forgot celery. Put some celery in. You can add potatoes , if you do , boil them first before you add. When the pot is almost ready , add some instant rice to soak up the excess water. Add some tabasco to your liking. Cut the other onion 1/2 into large pieces and drop in. You want these last onions to be semi-crunchy.

My kids won't eat this , they don't like the way it looks cooking. But I think it tastes great. It makes a huge pot. I always have to eat the whole thing by myself!

RE: Anyone from Texas ?

RE: Engaged

RE: Im a newfie so lets hear your best newfie jokes

DAMN ! I forgot the newfie joke!

Change Archie to "Newfie"

(sorry , it's late)

RE: Im a newfie so lets hear your best newfie jokes

Excuse ME , for highjacking the thread! Back on track, then...


Newfie jokes , hmmmmmm.........

OK , everyone remembers Junior Samples , the fat guy on HeeHaw , right? Sure you do.

WELL , Junior was telling Archie how well known that Junior was. There was a disagreement , so they made a bet. They both went to Washington , DC , and were in a big crowd waiting for the President to show. While in the crowd , Archie asks a stranger "who is this fat guy with me?" The stranger replies immediately "Junior Samples" . Archie says , I'm not convinced , this is America , everyone knows you from Cornfield County. So they go to France , sitting at a sidewalk cafe , Archie asks a Frenchman "Pardon' , Monsieur' , do you know who this is with me?" . And the Frenchman says right away , "oui oui , ees Junior Samples". Archie is mad , and wants one more test. They go to Rome , to St. Peter's Square. The crowd is there waiting for the Pope to show. Junior tells Archie to wait a minute , andJr. disappears. presently , the crowd stirs , and the Pope comes out.
Junior is at the Pope's side! Archie says loudly , inspired by the Pope "Wow , do you know who that is?"
A person near Archie says" I don't know who the guy is with the funny hat , but the fat one is Junior Samples!"

RE: do any white women from iowa like black men?

Yeah , Nurr , when I was in Davenport , I saw mixed couples.


As for this site , as I look at profiles , some of the race box is marked to your benefit.

RE: Motorcycle Riders Here

Len , you Dawg ! I have seen that on the start page , never looked to see what it was. I thought it looked like an Ostrich from a distance. And I'm glad the distance is all the way to Austrailia , lest I be tempted to hit on her. It's a good thing that she IS Down Under , otherwise I may have to see the BUSH ! haha

(sorry for the interruption)

OK guys and gals , back on your Iron Hogs !

RE: Im a newfie so lets hear your best newfie jokes

Isn't it supposed to be "newBie" ?


Or is newfie a new young people's word? (says Sparky , leaning on his cane )

RE: Couples...

RE: Sorry to everyone

Allen , you don't know how lucky you are!

Get on the ball , or in your car , and get after "IT".

RE: how do i handle this?

DEFINITELY not over the phone!

If you think a few minutes , you can find a way to arrange a meeting without making it sound like a romantic date.

Just my opinion

RE: how do i handle this?

I think it depens on the attitudes of both of you. But you DO have to have a heart-to- heart with her. If she is wanting romance type of love and you don't , that's a problem. But if you both still want to be friends , it's possible that both of you could see it as a soul-sharing experience , and have this between you to remember in the future.

Maybe , maybe not. Just another possible twist.

Best of luck , my friend.

RE: why do woman post if they dont reply

I thought this was a good thread , with many good comments.

Good reading for the new people on here. And for some that don't return mail and flowers.
