That is the most stunning pic, AC.. Where did you steal it, you tief? ;)

[lodwick]

Morning guys - great pics and links, and I'm so happy I cleared the temp files before posting from that enchanted site - the cheap rats won't allow us to tief their pics.

[grannie9]

No Lod.. lots of them are copyrighted, but it's a magnificent site.

Ahhh.. what do you mean clearing the temps files???? Is this something I should know, being the tief I am? lol

[lodwick]

heheh - when I suspect that a site may have security, I go ahead and sneak the pic out, get it set up in the Preview pane and then go to Tools, then Internet Options, then Delete Files, OK, and then re-Preview the pic to see if it's still there - or if the horrid red X shows up after the file cleansing.

Yours in better tiefing. ;-)

[grannie9]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. a-su-maki-how... itinkigitit... ;)

Hi Kathy, just been doing some baking. New recipe for Bannana Nut Bread. Hope it's a good one. I do like them moist, so threw in some extra bananas...didn't have any sour cream like someone suggested on the recipe thread. ;) We'll see........

[lodwick]

mmmm...that sour cream addition sounds right. File that one away and hope to remember it. ;-)

I wish I could download a haircut. bbl

[grannie9]

Add a couple extra mashed bananas and one cup of sour cream to any banana bread recipe. Haven't tried it, but they say it works. This one looks mighty pretty.. It's a man's recipe, I found in my Taste of Home cookbook..

Hey Loddy,
Here is another chance to get rich....
You can have it, my compliments....
.......Westy.......

Request for Assistance.

I am Mr. Ola Tunji (MNIM), the co-ordinator of the Federal Government of
Nigeria contract review panel of the National Gas Company (NGC).

Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a conglomerate of foreign companies
by my committee on behalf of the NGC, the contract was over-invoiced to the
tune of US$24.5 million. This was done deliberately. The over-invoicing was
a deal by members of my committee to benfit from the project. We now desire to transfer this money which is
presently in a suspense account of the NGC in the Debt Reconciliation
Committee (DRC) into an account which we expect you to kindly provide for
us, this we believe will not be so much of a burden to you.

Benefits:
For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you will be
entitled to 25% of the money, 70% will be for me and my partners while 5%
has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any expenses that may be
incurred by us during the course of this transaction, both local
and international expenses, these also include taxes that may arise.

I would require:
A. Name and address of company/beneficiary.
B. Your bank account number, bank address and other information relevant to
the project at hand.
C. It is not necessary that the account you are providing should have money
in it, what matters is that it should had been in existence for a while
(accounts dynamics) and you should have a 100% control over it.

The above information would be used to make formal applications as a matter
of procedure for the release of the money for onward transfer to your
account. It does not matter whether or not your company or you performed
contract projects of the nature described here, the assumption is that you
won a major contract and sub-contracted it out to other companies. More
ofter than not, big trading companies or individuals of unrelated field win
major contrats and sub-contracts it out to more specialised firms for
execution of such contracts. We have strong and reliable connections and
contacts at the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC) and the Federal Ministry
of Finance (FMF) and we have no doubts that all this money will be released
and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner in this transaction.
Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded, we shall through our
same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned
government ministries for 100% security.

We want this money to be transferred to the overseas account which you are
going to kindly provide for safe keeping pending when we will determine how
we want our portion of the money, all expenses regarding the account opening
if not already in existence shall be borne by you, all monies spent from personal purse during the course of this
transaction are however reimburseable as already stated from the 5% that had
been set aside for this purpose after the transfer of the funds have been
effected into your account that you will be providing for the purpose of
this business.

Please, contact me immediately through e-mail to
ascertain your interest in doing us this favour, so that if you are not interested, it
will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this
transaction. Fortunately, if you are interested in assisting me, please send
the reqyuired information mentioned through email at any time of the day. For more details on this
transaction email me.
If you will be of assistance, I will surely appreciate and thank you for
your kindness in giving me this assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Ola Tunji (MNIM).

Cheers.

G*d - I hope my spammers don't have your addy too - those guys are brutal in their pursuit of idiots.

I think the way they really make their $$$ is by selling our addys to other Nigerians.

Watch this Marine & Navy clip if you do nothing else this evening - bring tissues and a Flag. God Bless you Warriors.

A note from Mom tonight - enjoy it.

Hi Loddy...thought I would send you an email, as this will probably be the last time, until after Thanksgiving that I will have a free moment to email anyone....I shall be busy....

Today, I had to do the Thanksgiving Day shopping....as I left the house, I stood and admired the new roof.....so pleased with it, and glad to have that done and over with....that crew installed that whole big roof in under 6hours....such nice, young polite fellas doing the work....I told the son of the owner of the roofing company, that roof is guaranteed for 30yrs, which is probably longer that I still have left on earth...he just laughed and assured me I would still be alive and kicking 30yrs from now...sweet kid....and so cute...If I was thirty years younger, I would have been a chasing him....he was a real cutie, and so sweet and polite....


When the roof was done, I offered the lads all a coke, but being as it was chilly, ,and in spite of the workout they had, they were gong to a restaurant for some hot chocolate....so when I was at the store today, I bought a giant sized container of hot chocolate mix, and a big box of Christmas candy to send along with a thank you card to the roofers....they did such good work, in such a short period of time, and we nothing but polite and informative and just a pleasure to have working on your house...they cleaned up every scrap of debris from the old roof, and you would have never guessed at the mess that was there, when the old roof was all scraped off....so I thought a thank you card, hot chocolate mix, and some candy were indeed in order....I am sure the worker bees will like and appreciate it....and I cant say it often enough....they were all so CUTE....I may be in my 50s, but I certainly appreciate handsome young men, as much as the younger ladies do....

Shopping at the store was a nightmare....it was just jammed with people, and the aisles were jammed with goodies tempting my wallet....having just raked out a fortune on the roof, I had planned to be careful with my money....but when one is faced with Plum Pudding Poinsettias(a wonderful shade of pinkish purple poinsettias), glistening fruits, big fat turkeys, and scrumptuous looking hams, trays of cookies, wonderful cheesecakes, and tortes, grand smelling home baked breads, and so much more, well, I fogot all about the budget and just bought what I liked...

Needless to say, my shopping cart was groaning and moaning with each roll of its wobbly wheels, ,and I began to wonder if the cart was going to survive my shopping expedition....would BigDom shoot me, as he had to unload the car, and scratch his head, wondering if we were on our way to the poor house now, what with paying for the roof, and my wild shopping expedition....ah, hes used to me, and my extravagant ways, while preparing for the holidays...all he was worried about, was did I buy enough beer, his favorite beer, and Andys favorite beer....

Thanksgiving....a time for eating like a hog, bursting your sides, drinking lots of beer, watching football, remembering past Thanksgivings, and reminiscing about those family members who have since departed to Heaven....of course, we speak of our MIchael, fondly, missing him, but feeling blessed for having known him, with his funny smile, and his wry sense of humor....and his courageous battle with leukemia, in spite of all the odds....we all miss him terribly, and the holidays always have a little dark spot for all of us here, when we miss our dear Michael at the holidays....but, as I said, we are so thankful for the 15yrs we had him, and loved him, and look forward to meeting up with him again, when our time comes....we feel he is waiting for all of us, with arms opened, a smile on his face, and a Welcome Home on his lips....We give thanks for this belief, and we give thanks for the blessings Michael bestowed upon us during his short, but oh so wonderful life....

After my jaunt to the foodstore, the Satillite guy was waiting for me, to readjust the satellite atop the house...it got out of alignment, when the roof was scraped off, and the new one put on, so we had to have a technician fix it....after all, Bigdom and Andy would never survive Thanksgiving without football games constantly on television.....

Then as soon as the satellite guy was done, the Parcel Post guy arrived, with a HUGE box...it was my new artificial tree, from QVC.....a prelit big, big tree, to go into the family room, to replace the one that last year crack out of its base, and fell down, and had to be held up for the rest of the Christmas season by ropes and bungee cords...how unsightly.....so the new tree arrived.....poor BigDom, just looked all around at the days shopping bags, and this huge box, and shook his head, and noted that we look like some sort of wholesale outlet store, what will so much stuff all over....ah, my cue to get busy, cleaning and fixing up the house for the Thanksgiving Day belly busting feast....

And so at this, the beginning of the holiday season to come, I wish you and yours a wonderful and memorable Thanksgiving..,It may be a trite saying, but we indeed do have much to be thankful for.....living in USA, is the greatest thing to be thankful for....the best, the greatest, the most wonderful and promising country on earth....where anyone can become whatever they wish, do as they wish, and have the freedom to say what they wish.....something I am sure, we often take for granted, because we are so used to it.....but it should never be taken for granted....

There are so many things one can be thankful for, and one of those is about the many different friends I have made over the years, on FR....how we have laughed together through good times, tried to console and help one another in bad times, and in general have shared much of our lives with one another.....its a true blessing to know those on DD, and smile and cry with each and every one of them....

So, please send along all my Thanksgiving best wishes to those on DD...may they have full tummies, full hearts, full lives....may we all remain thankful for those we have met along the way.....may we continue to prosper, and live our lives as we chose...may we bask in the wonder of our loved ones and families....may we realize that truly we have much to be thankful for....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING......

Lynn
