MIXED SEED NUTS COOK BOOK CHAT

Lorraine, does that 13 include Becky? I found 15-16 packs of things today that will mail Monday. if you dont want to use them, my feelings wont be hurt.

Tubby.......your birdhouse towers are WAY cool. Did you say birds inhabit them?

I have not had a chance to work on recipes. (i know, me--slacker) i know i'm supposed to find the sourkraut recipe....gardening quotes.....and i think i started on some tips as well. I have just discovered that my two best recipe books are at my sister's restaurant...she is dead meat!
my family left this morning, but i was gone most of the day.

nanniepb..the bird house towers are more for looks then for occupation Most of the post ones set far enough from house so the birds use them
Tubby

Lorraine, I dmailed you.. I finished the hints pages and will email them to you, so that you can edit as you want.

Please add me to the list of people wanting cookbooks :)

Chris

Shecks in the mail, Mizz L

Yes, it includeds Becky. I'll update the top post to say that. Gotcha Chris, (Almost said Gen) and Tater, you too. yOu've sent one recipe, so I figured you'd want a book, just haven't updated the list.
Everyone here has the flu. Not me yet, but if I am MIA for over a day you'll know that's what's wrong. JUst keep sending recipes and stuff and if I'm out for a couple days, I'll get them all when I'm better. That's terrible, planning for the flu. LOL
But Tucker is here all the time and he got sick last night, so I know those little boy germs are everywhere. lol

Hi, updated the l ist of participants in the 2nd post. Please check for your name and if it isn't there, let me know. If that is correct, we are at 15, so would kind of like to stop there. BUT, IF I'VE FORGOTTEN TO PUT YOU ON THE LIST, L ET ME KNOW. I'LL ADD IT. I FIGURE I CAN DO 20 IF NEED BE. Just want to get a good count for the people who are sending things in the mail, so they know how many to send.
So, don't be upset if your name isn't there, it's just a LDM (Lorraine's dumb mistake), so let me know.

Been getting sme good recipes. Of course I have to test some of them, so I'll gain 40 pounds!!!! All ya'll fault.

Oh Lorraine.. you've made me so happy!! I'm FINALLY on the list LOL!!!! And the name was so close to mine, it was uncanny :)

I'm off work on Friday and I'll send you all the stuff I've been typing up for you.

ChrisGlen or something like that!

I promise Lorraine this weekend everything I am supposed to send you. Swear!!

Lorraine, did you get my paypal payment? I sent it out today. If so, mark me as paid please?

hmmmmm....

HA HA we should have that warning.

I hope everyone is safe tonight. Terrible winds passed thru here today. Parts of our town has been without power since 3:30 this afternoon. But nothing like what ive seen from pictures out west.

I couldn't resist that picture.....

We have been watching your weather back that way....doesn't look good in many places....have a lot of relatives in OK but talked with them today and all are safe....all of you stay safe. All we have here is Cold......I will keep it.....

last week it was 4 degrees.....today at 7pm, it was still 55 degrees.
thats a big jump for us. what scared me is that I didnt even realize it was going on! the tv was on, but i had been vacuuming and spring cleaning my bedroom like a mad woman. then i jumped in the shower and by then it was all over. i went outside and the sky was a deep blue almost purple, but saw it was moving east. my neighbor lost an apple tree and one of my aunt's pear tree snapped in two. and at 7pm, there were still 50-60 power lines down.

Had 2 detours on the way home from Bible Study tonight. Firetrucks blocking the roads in 2 different places because Trees were blown down & snapped power poles - wires down all over the place. Actually we have high wind warnings until tomorrow night. It sounds like a freight train outside sometimes. Makes me uneasy because that's how they always describe a tornado. My son in Pittsburgh called & said he could hear something that sounds like a jet airplane taking off. Turns out the storm somehow ruptured a gas main & you could hear it for miles. They evacuated the area up to the opposite side of his street. I sure hope they were being cautious in deciding where to make the cut off line. He said you could slightly smell the gas but with the high winds it was dissipating quickly, therefore less dangerous. But you know how moms always worry.

Boy it sounds like everyone had it ruff. We had some bad winds here too but nothing like that. Hope everyone is ok!

I looked down the hill at our neighbor's house this morning & they lost bunches of shingles. Roof looks like a checker board. So I hurried out to check ours (we have had to have our roof reshingled several times from wind storms). This time I could only see one spot where 2 tabs are missing. Yeah! I think they were still new enough to hold up, but the neighbor's haven't had to replace their whole roof before like we have, so their shingles are older. Their new storage garage didn't lose a single one, nor did ours. Considering the roar that was going on I consider us lucky!

Lorraine-while I am not usually part of this group and can't afford to buy the book, Jim has requested I send you a couple recipes-is that OK??

Not Really a recipe but cool

Stacy, please send the recipes. And it doesn't take much to be a part of this group. You just have to be crazy!!!! lol
I have managed to catch the flu, but still keep tryingt to post, lol. That's just sad!!! See how much Dave's means to me, and all you guys too.
Got some absolutely adorable stickers from fifi today. Some of the cutest little frogs and flowers and stuff. Can't wait to start putting the books together.

If ya'll notice I'm not picking up the dmails in a timely manner, don't fret. I'm just leaving the recipes and then doing lots of them at once. So if they set there a couple days or more, that's why.
If you use microsoft word, you can send them via email too.

I will be in and out for awhile....mom had knee surgery yesterday and it will take a couple of days to get her back on her feet.....she does not do well with pain meds so a "not good" time is being had by all.....I only live next door but I want to go home!

Lorraine, I sent you an email with the substitiutions/equivalents to the gmail address. Let me know if you got it ok.

Take care of yourself and stay in bed!

Trisha, sorry to hear about your mom's surgery and just remember, it's ok to hide in the closet for a little while :)

The Ugly Frog


An older lady was somewhat lonely and decided she needed a pet to keep her company. So, off to the pet shop she went. She searched and searched. None of the pets seemed to catch her interest, except this ugly frog. As she walked by the jar he was in, she looked and he winked at her.






He whispered, 'I'M SO LONELY, TOO. BUY ME AND TAKE ME HOME. YOU WON'T EVER BE SORRY.'





The old lady figured, what the heck! She hadn't found anything else. So, she bought the frog. She placed him in the car, on the front seat beside her. As she was slowly driving down the road, the frog whispered to her ' KISS ME AND YOU WON'T BE SORRY.'!





So! The old lady fig ured, WHAT THE HECK, and kissed the frog.





IMMEDIATELY the frog turned into an absolutely gorgeous, sexy, young, handsome prince







THE PRINCE THEN RETURNED THE OLD LADY'S KISS.


SUDDENLY THE OLD LADY FELT HERSELF TRANSFORMING FROM HIS KISS. NOW CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THE OLD LADY TURNED INTO?

COME ON GUESS!

FRIEND TEST!

A simple friend , when visiting , acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself
and doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your
'beer/Pepsi drawer' with their foot!




A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend shoulder is soggy from your tears..



A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first
names.
A real friend has their phone numbers
in his address book.



A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your
party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and
stays late to help you clean.



A simple friend hates it when you call after
they've gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to
call.



A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your
problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.



A simple friend wonders about your romantic
history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it!



A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when
you have an argument.
A real friend calls you after you had a fight.



A simple friend expects you to always be there for
them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!





When you are down to nothing ...
God is up to something.

'Never frown , even when you are sad ,
because you never know who is
falling in love with your smile.'

Tubby those are good ones.....

Mom is doing much better tonight so I get to sleep at my house tonight....the other half of the duplex.

Where is Jim hiding? No recipes and stories or off with Ms. Marta???

I'm hoarding the recipes!
Also trying to figure out how to send stuff to Lorraine.
She said she couldn't open them before, now she says : "Send them by email if you use Word."
I don't know if I am confused or if she is taking too much of that flu medication!
Maybe both.

It's snowing here again!
A long gray weekend ahead!

Sitting here with chile in the pot and a new recipe for a carrot & bacon souffle to try tonite.

Hi Jim,
Lorraine is sick with the flu. Or she was yesterday. She can read then and format them if you just send in a dmail. You could just copy and paste from word then for safety send the one in word to the email.
Robin

But I am also trying to send her photos!
And if I send those by DMail, they have that copyright notice on them!

Oh I see.
I have sent her a couple of edited recipes that she first sent to me and I think she was ok with them. Feel free to send your picture and or recipe to me and I will forward it attached to that email she sent me.
Dmail me and I will give you my email address.
Robin

I still have your email address, Robin.
The problem seems to be that Lorraine said she could not open the photo attachments, but I am still not clear why.
Jim

Well I would say if I can open them and then send them not as attachment maybe then she could open them. I think the trouble is in the attachment. I'm not sure why maybe a virus program she has running possibly a newer one . Maybe something her daughter put in and Lorraine hasn't learned to use yet. Or maybe she doesn't know it is there yet. There is my no knowledge what so ever opinion.
Lorraine doesn't keep it a secret that computers are not her friend. Just a necessary end to a means.

Jim you can go to your preferences and remove the copyright logo!
Go to the top of the page and click on my tools, then on the right side click on preferences, then click on copyrights on the right side. Then click on the method you want. I clicked on no method. This will remove all the copyrights on the picture.
LK

Thanks, Linda Kay!
I think I will try that and see if Lorraine can do something with the photo sent by DMAIL.
Although I would think getting it from there would be harder than from an email attachment!

If that does not work, Robin, then maybe I will send to you and see if you send it to her if that works better!

Thanks to both of you!

Jim

Hey Jim, your welcome.
Hope you and Ms MArta are doing well, and not too cold over there.
It got up to 82 yesterday, and it is so nice here. 73 today, and 79 Sunday! Not bad for the middle of February.
Happy Valentines day to everyone!
