Well, we eat 'em when they're about the size of a golf ball...not too hugh. We eat 'em boiled with ham...greens and all...Mmmm! They boil down pretty small, kinda like spinach.
I think I planted 270 last winter and was very sad when we ate the last few...
Well Done, Ecurbh. A pox on the car companies that put the dang spare under the dang truck/van/suv. I've done too darn many of those unscrew/unbolt underneath spares...Another tip of the hat to the gentleman Ecurbh. OB
That's a shame any way you look at it. I'm glad you had friends there who could help!
She needed new tires before winter anyway... without this happening she may have put it off too long.
So am I! Big time!
Ecurbh...thanks again for puttin' the bitty tire on for me!
I reckon I'm going to get another mechanic scolding like the one I got for stalling on that other problem. Heh...
Yeah, I saw that. Thought about pinging you. I liked her - she was fun!
A little old lady goes to the doc and says, "Doctor I have this problem with gas, but it doesn't really bother me too much. My farts never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I've farted at least 20 times since I've been in your office and you didn't even know it."
The doctor says, "I see, take these pills, and come back to see me next week."
The next week the lady comes back. "Doctor," she says, "I don't know what the hell you gave me, but now my farts... although still silent... stink terribly!"
The doctor says, "Good!!! Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's work on your hearing."
Ungh...the thread dies for a good long time, and *that's* how you attempt to revive it??
Sometimes I've got precious little to work with :~)
Good Morning! Happy Monday!
Heh - I might have to use that in my nano. It's clean enough for my purposes and would fit into a certain scene I'm writing.
A 65-year-old woman comes back from the doctor and is simply giddy.Her husband asks, "what's the matter with you?"
"My doctor told me I have the skin of an 18-year-old, the body of a 22-year-old and the breasts of a 25-7ear-old."
Husband asks, "What did he say about your 65-year-old ass?"
"He didn't say anything about you."
Ack... just over a week to NaNo.
Not ready for Nano. I need to have the "prophecy" written afore I start writing.
Mine centers around a "prophecy" that has been misheard. It's turned into a snarkly little childrens' rhyme because they got the words wrong.
But when it's heard correctly the prophecy is revealed...and fulfilled.
It needs work.
The only things I'm missing are 1) time to actually do this and 2) stronger characterization for my MC. He's turning out to be a bit boring compared to the more colorful characters in the crew.
My only problem is I hate the main character. Oh and I have no idea where the plot is going. That and lack of a clear sense of what the whole point of the story is. Or any idea for an opening scene. But other than that I am ready to go. Well that and I have almost no characters planned.
Don't need no steenkin' plot.
