Judes...hi. I quit for 2 years before we moved.

Anyway...all I'm trying to say is...I can sympathize...I'm pulling for you and wishing you much strength and good luck!

Thanks so much

It does help to hear other peoples stories.

This is about the 6th time i've quit and each time it was years in between. As I'm getting older i know i must do it for my health........simple as that.

sending you a pm of the photos from the pages at daily strength.

Think you'll enjoy the nesting and fledging.

We like to hike and go birding, but have not had many opportunities since we moved to WV. Something to look forward to.

Love to hear the bird watching stories....and the avs! My HS Zoology teacher got me started as a teenager. Can't believe I've never seen a Pileated Woodpecker, though My in-laws see them on their property quite often.

The bad thing is I don't really WANT to quit.........i just don't want to get breathing problems like i had with the asthmatic bronchitis..........so..............that has to be the motivator.

My husband tried to quit so many times........for me when we were dating.........for my asthmatic son when he was little.......but it was never because he wanted to for himself. This last time was because he truly wanted to......and it took He's been smoke-free for about 8 years, I think.

Mail merge is....suppose you have a form letter (labels, postcards, whatevah), that needs to be mailed to many (or even several) people. Rather than retype the letter over and over for each one....you type ONE letter and embed fields into the letter, create a list or table of all the info you need, such as, names, addresses, phone numbers, any information at all. You can even sort the information on the tables in different ways. So, you have one form that you can use over and over by just changing the information in the fields. Now THAT'S Majik!

If you, the brain, were confoozled and scared then I am out of my mind with what the hecks and yikes!!!

Lisa, I didn't forget you and Lisa B per se ......I um, just forgot about the name Lisa.........

Soozle, the Cuban Rojo Flank Steak is this very simple recipe I found. You just cut the flank steak into like 3 chunks and brown it, remove it, throw in onions, bell pepper strips and seasonings (cumin, bay leaf), deglaze the pan with cider vinegar, throw in some tomato paste and diced fire roasted tomatoes, throw back in the flank steak and let it simmer for a while until the meat is all tender.

Super easy and so flavorful.

I then froze it into single servings for future meals, you can put it over rice, use it in a rice tortilla or corn tortillas. It was delish over corn chips for the nachos.

I can email you the recipe if you like?

[elye]

Next year, I fly to Sooper Boowl at Jules house - who's wif me?

Oh, yeah....I'm there. . . .!! Jooooles, your whole meal list sounds incroyable. .. . ....I, too, remain drooly-faced with longing.......

Okay, in the astonishing, break-neck phlurry of Ptaoughmn's recap, there was this bewildering phrase:

Bulgarian eye-bulb hokey-pokey.

What in HELL?! Cannot remember this, nor make sense of it a 'tall.......but I LOVE it so much I can't stand it.

[Jestgar]

*AHEM*..........2 LISA's!!!!!! .....

....and our new Susan is a harpist

Or a harpy...Has that been clarified yet?

[DingoGirl]

[DingoGirl]

SILLIES - - -

Well, I have had it. And I need you all to do me a favor, right this minute, if you don't mind.

Please, all of you, click on my profile to view it. I have a stalker, sort of (someone I know), something creepy going on, and I want that name bumped off my list of viewers to my profile immediately, because if I happen to go to my profile page, IT"S ALWAYS THERE.

So, if all of youse go and view my profile, it'll bump that one off.........

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you sills. I"ll fill you all in later.

[jerseyangel]

Done Suz. Let me know if you need any help.

[flourgirl]

Hey! Don't phorget meee with Sooperbowls of snakking and hollerday meels! I'm not a big phan of kooking, but I don't mind a'tall doing kleen ups! Balances out, hey? You all cook, we all eat 'till we can't move....as soon as we can move I kleen up! Let me know wen and ware, I'll be thare and square1

Suessly! You do sound read as happy! I'm happy that you're happy . Someday those trees will be big and strong (if they are fruit trees even in a couple of years!). They will be filled with birdies, and you can buy binoculars to see them, and a digital camera with 48 zoom to take their pictures, and even set up a "feader" so you can watch them close up!!! Sounds like a plan to me. & then when we all drop in on you to visit....we can stroll through the orchards, binocling and digizooming all of the pretty babies

[flourgirl]

Suessly, I peeked in too and didn't see the Schtalker!! We are all here beside you if'n it comes to a schowdown! Yeah.....schtalk the schtalker!

[curlyfries]

So, if all of youse go and view my profile, it'll bump that one off.........
