Celery Shortage??

Twisted Stister

So what else have you done?

I left FL in 1985 and come back to this cold icky hole. Pool tables are not abundant here and if you did play on them the quality is not so good. I still played and I also joined the Womans Bowling League. I was on Madams X's team. Make a long story short, I played for 3 weekends and walked off. I could only get 50-70 points. HA never again.

Then my neice convienced me to go sking.... Oh stupid mistake. She got me on the thing that pulls you up the mountian. HA - well I fell and they stopped it, got back up and got going. Then some idiot in back of me did the same thing and when they started it back up and jerked, I went crisscross and rolled down an embankment onto the slope.

Painful day and Never Again!

Ouch but funny.

Roller skating and Ice skating was another one of my niche as far as sports. Ice skating I faired well until one morning I went to the rink 1990?. I was down there all alone doing my figure 8 jumps etc. I took off getting speed and my skate and foot went into a bubble ice hole and I flew like Superman like 4 feet off the ground. Hands out and horizontal with the ice. HARD HIT my teeth chattered! Took my breath away. Took a few seconds to get up and when I did the skates came off. They have not been back on.

I would still roller skate though. I used to win the Limbo. Skate backwards and do dancing. Havent don it in a few year, Maybe I will do that this year!

What is the funniest thing that ever happened to you, if there is one?

Yeah you would of had to been ther to get the jist. Had a golf cart with a metal roof. It had 9 car batteries. Husband showed me how to unhook and hook up the battery charger. 3 of us were dubbing around and I hooked it up and something was not right. DH said come here, and he took the battery cables and said see - take the cables and make sure they are grounded. Just as he hooked the last cable our friend took his fist and smacked the metal roof - BOOM like a bomb went off! My DH and I both jumped up scared, said the same exact words and had to change our diapers. Seconds after we realized it was our friend that smacked the roof we all started to laugh until tears were flowing from all 3 of us. Like I said you would of had to been there.

25 out of a 100 of my personal Memoirs.

Twisted Stister

Well twisted one, I am going to leave. I cant multi-task as much as you would of liked, especially to hit that 100 mark. 25 will have to do. Enjoy the day.

Sherrie, this whole dialog has been just too funny! I hope the others take the time to read through it! Loved the dentures thing but the golf cart was hysterical!

Back to making dinner - and I do have celery.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! - Lynn

Well thank you Lynn. Everyone hope you enjoyed my other 1/2 getting me to talk. Maybe Christmas I will get Twisted Stister to tell her side of the story.

It is all fun and games. I think I can remember last year nobody was on here. Only A couple of us, then evening came somewhat alive. Well this year, my better half wanted to make you all chuckle and think, of your victories and defeats.

Twisted Stister

Yeah - Sherrie your not telling stories. Your telling your life. Gotta admitt that some is whacky and some is really funny. Love the teeth.

So what are you saying up there, that your going to get me to tell my side? Right baby.

OK now I will ask you: How did you get started in Gardening?

Twisted Stister

I cant really remember dates, I was like 5 or 6. I can remember I was at home and planted something in a pot. It grew and it was green and started to get BIG. Then time lasped or at least in my brain. Well it was Corn. I got an A and won in school.

Well cool you were young. What else?

Twisted Stister

My 2nd thing was an Avacodo plant. I planted it and POOF it was higher than me! I took it to a local fair. I came out with a Blue Ribbon - I was so cozy, fuzzy and warm looking that beautiful plant - I was around 8-9 years old. That was also the time I put an egg in a bottle. I got the darn egg in without breaking it!

So then what?

Twisted Stister

I am kind of like you. I went to Florida and one of my 1st jobs was with plants. I had top customers. Fountian Blue, Maceys, Sax 5th the list goes on and on. I was the green thumb of the company and had my own truck and everything. I loved It!

I realized plants and growing is in my heart. Work blood, sweat and tears. After I got back to New England I lived in a place where I could not grow a weed like creeping charlie! Then I move to my home and then something started, a New Begining.

You have so much to tell - keep going Twisted Sister.

Twisted Stister
My home now for 4 years. I had a VEGGIE GARDEN !!!! A small one like 10 x 5 feet - oh my heart is in heaven. Then again the next year. I busted my body and made it bigger. So maybe double. Then I got to the point - It was not big enough, so my husband moved it and made it bigger. I said "OH MY GOSH" he said "WHAT" I said "I cant pay this much for plant to put in that garden".

So after winter months I said "I need a Green House = GH" Discussion, discussion and discussion. I Got MY GH!! I was so happy and in joy.

Yeah so what are you getting at ding dong.

Twisted Stister
A green house and the money I make "If Any" goes to the yard. I have to make money to get the stuff that spruces up the gardens. From seed to plants. From seeds to sphaghetti sauce. From Seed to harvesting, what ever is needed. Again blood, sweat and tears. Triumph, Victory and sometimes Defeat. That plant you grew from seed, bulb, tuber, rhizome or what ever that shows your true heart.

I am starting with flowers just this year. With a true appreciation with the RU's I have met great friends, gardners that could knock your socks off.

Just never forget where you all start. Love you all and do read up above.

Thanks for the entertainment! It helped break up time tethered to the stove.

It is the truth - not entertainment

Truth can be very entertaining, though!

Thanks for all your stories of your adventures, Sherrie. They are very entertaining. I would add some of my own, but since this is pretty much your show, I feel I should ask permission first. So can I, huh, huh, can I?!

Karen

Go for it as we all need chuckles.

Well, here goes, then!

When I lived in Reno, Nevada in the 80's I drove a cab for 6 years. One day I was sitting in front of the Nugget in Sparks (Reno's neighboring town), and a man gets into my cab and asks me to take him to a hotel in downtown Reno. I'm figuring same old usual stuff, and I proceed on my way.

Shortly after leaving the Nugget I see a cop car following me closely. I was going slightly over the speed limit, so I'm figuring he might be getting ready to pull me over. As I'm thinking this another cop car passes by going the opposite direction. At this point I'm still not thinking too much about it.

I get a short distance up the road, and all of a sudden it seems, I'm surrounded by cop cars, all flashing their lights. The person in front me pulls over, and so do I. Behind me two of the cop cars have a fender bender in their haste. I knew I didn't do anything to warrant this, so now I'm thinking they're after the guy in my cab. He has remained pretty quiet the whole time. Not a very talkative fella.

Anyhow, next thing I know, the cops are on the bull horn telling me to put my hands on the dashboard. One of the cops comes over and has me get out of the car and takes me behind one of their cars. In the mean time, two other cops are pulling my passenger out of the car and pinning him to the ground.

Okay, now I know it wasn't me they're after. Big sigh of relief. I find out shortly afterwards that the man who had gotten into my cab had robbed a bank, gotten in a cab before me and taken it to the Nugget, then switched to my cab there. Turned out he had no weapon, but threatened the teller with a bomb (which he also didn't have). He took an undisclosed amount of money. Later he pleaded guilty and even apologized to the teller.

My next installment will be another cab driving adventure.

Karen

Oh, btw, I found plenty of celery at the Shaw's supermarket here.

Karen

Your differences in life, I did it and gosh it was hard to do 2 different MES

You mean I should do something like your twisted sister thing?

Karen

If you could it would be fun. As I said it was hard to do 2 different ME's. I was getting myself confused!

Sherrie thats too funny!
I can't do it....there's 3 of me. ^_^

Sometimes, I can't remember what I did yesterday.....

I did 38 of the TWISTED SISTER. We would of been 6th intead of 4th. Oh well I tried.

I don't think I's be able to do 100 of those. I don't think I could stay focused for that long. Then again, won't know unless I try. Maybe in January, where there is really not much to do.

Karen

There would be 2 more different ME's - If I had the cops on my back with a gun - Geeze! I would probably be barred for life on the whole DG Site!

God, look what I started. I did find a bunch or two of celery last Wednesday.

I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. I didn't have any plans, so decided I would go visit some friends in Netherlands and missed the day, though we ate some great food.

Thanks for the responses, which I am going to re-read. I get back to NJ on Tuesday but leave to work on Dec 5th-15th. I will carry a camera and send some interesting photos from travels.

Ken

Hi Ge1836 !!

HA HA HA HA

You made me laugh so hard with that photo proving the shelves are stocked!! Ha. I just saw it as I am packing my bags to head back to NJ from Netherlands on Tuesday. Thanks for the laugh. The looked like my veggy bins, because when I found it on Wednesday morning. I bought about 3 packages at Sam's club. I had to go there and stock up on bacon and some things I bring to my friends in Netherlands, like Listerine and salad dressing.

Thanks again for the laugh!!

Ken

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Thank you for your kind responses. It must have been a "box" store thing as the 3 or 4 times I looked for celery it was sold out, not there, and even an employee said "it's a seasonal thing.", which didn't make any sense. In any event, after I wrote on DG, I did find it at Sams CLub in Nazereth, PA. I didn't need it for Thankgsgiving cooking, as I just use it to munch on and salads. I didn't have TG dinner, as I headed over to the Netherlands to see an old friend and her family, and they don't celebrate TG. It was nice to see the responses from all of you and I say "Thank You". I will be on here more, as I hadn't logged in since April. Missed the summer? I was leaving for the states this morning (Monday) but will catch a flight early Tuesday to Newark and back into tthe routine as I have to go to work on Friday, Dec 5th.

Thanks again to all of you for your responses.

Ken

Doei! Lekker vlucht, Ken!

If I attempted that I would no doubt spit.
