Welcome to Star Wars merchandise day. Where the world buy Star Wars stuff they will not use.

At least people are not dying for this event. Oh wait....that's Black Friday.

Hey! I totally plan on playing with my Star Wars Lego sets! A lot!

That's why I try to buy organic produce as much as possible.

Does that make a difference? I'm not really familiar with organic gardening, although I do know a little bit from my Behind the Seeds tour I've taken (a few times) at The Land, in Epcot. They do something called integrated pest management, and they try different types of flies, etc. to combat certain bugs. This saves some of the plants from being sprayed with pesticide.

I could see that working well in a smaller food growing operation, but in the larger growing areas, I would think that would be harder to use with success. I mean, they'd have to get huge amounts of flys, etc., to cover such a large area, right? Or, in your case, do you just buy from smaller, local organic farms?

No mention of banning Twinkies, though, in that forbidden food list. Twinkies are healthy, non-allergenic, super food.

Twinkies make me think of Wall-E. I wonder how long it was sitting on his shelf.

Sheesh you are a little harsh I thought my diet was going well

 

[MOXOMUMD]

That means 2 days until the Bojangles 500 woooooòo

YEAH!

Laugh of the day ! So funny. Reminds me when Mom went to the hospital sis and I wanted to make a special meal for her return. We decided on a side of mac and cheese. We boiled the mac and put cheese on top, with nothing else.

I'd eat it.

Unfortunately you have to spray them with the pesticides or you'll be eating bugs too. I find that I start sneezing and have a stomach ache if I don't wash apples and them dry/polish them with a paper towel. Even the ones in a bag from the store.

I agree, I wash all produce with half water and half apple cider vinegar, I got that formula from the produce guy at the grocery. Supposed to clean well, and help kill any lingering bacteria.

 

[betty rose]

I'd eat it.

Mom saw what we did and went to the stove to correct it. We laugh about it today, but it didn't feel so good at the time. Thanks for "eating it".

Spoiler: Not for the fainthearted

10 days until season 21 of DWTS

Pass.

Was it a Black Lady who could sing?

Those were nightmarish times...
I remember my mom always saying " its only going to take 45 minutes.
And the Priest went overload in the explanation... took 1 hour and 45 minutes...
I think most elderly people used the time to take a holy nap.

I went to a church that their singing, playing, shouting, and praying went on for 3 hours. Whew, that was excessive.

the deviantart and tumblr fangroups are churning very strongly (thanks to the Nick show and the Michael Bay's movie)

I actually wanted to check the Nick's TMNT show as well lol.
but its an Hotel Exclusive (aka you have to stay.. even if you want to eat at the pizza party)

? You haven't seen Nick's TMNT?

 

[betty rose]

Pass.

I don't know what that is.

 

[betty rose]

Sympathy like, but with everybody home I'm not getting any time off either. Think I might try one of those nap thins I keep hearing about

You go for it, it really is nice to shut the door and give yourself a "time out".

 

[betty rose]

That's the type of swimming I could really get into.

I would like to take a dip in that myself!

 

[betty rose]

Also ignore the typos please.

I do a lot of typo's without cataracts! Have a nice week-end anyway. I hope you can get your computer back up and running.

 

[betty rose]

Ha! I've got one for you, too. We'll file both yours and mine under Stupid Kitchen Mistakes.

I was about 18 at the time, and I had never made coffee. So, I was up early on a weekend, and I thought I'd make a pot for my parents and myself. I had observed my mother put the water in the Mr. Coffee machine, and then add the coffee and turn it on. Easy. So I filled the coffeemaker with water and added the coffee . . . Nescafe instant coffee . . . I didn't realize there was a difference in brewing ground coffee from instant!

Love this, when I got married I didn't know how to cook at all. Mom didn't want us underfoot when she was cooking. So, for the first 6 month's we had bacon wrapped cheese dogs. Great for the heart!

Too cute! For my DD apartment.

I love these, DD and MR FERRET should get together, they both have great ideas! Or should have said MRS. FERRET.

They have Star Wars and Legos, I'm going to have to look into this for our GK's Christmas!

You are asking the right questions. A farmer told my sister, that the plants aren't sprayed for organic. But, the field is heavily sprayed before planting. This gets them around the government regs. for labeling "organic". This was about 10 years ago, so I don't what the regulations are today.

Nap time, have a good Saturday all. I'm going pig out at the Taste...
