~ SPORTS DAY IN THE CANTEEN ~     The Canteen Doors Are Open! Yep! Another fun filled Sports Day for all of our Troops, Veterans, and their families. (Oh yeah! For Canteeners and lurkers as well.) Anyhoo, the Canteen Sports CEO (That would be Mr.Tonkin for those that would like to file a complaint!) would like for us to keep things simple for Sports this week. So? Being that we have no power over such things, we are going to take him at his word. After all, he's the CEO and he always knows everything. Right?  The right hand side provides all the sports information you will need! So? Have at it kids! Have fun!! (In all honesty, we don't want to bog down the thread opening anymore. We'll keep it short and simple. Anything else we'd like to add will be posted on the thread itself!)   CANTEEN SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS 1. The Cincinnati Reds, not the Chicago Cubs, are currently in First Place in the National League - Central Division. Please make note of that. Be sure to pester Cubbie lover, tomkow6, about it. He'll appreciate it. 2. No! This isn't Da Bears season yet. So? The CSC CEO won't care what we write about in the Canteen. (Don't tell him Da Bears will be bad again this year. Hehe!) 3. The French Open is currently going on. Anyone care? We didn't think so. Besides, all the American men are gone. Wimbledon is next for us. WooHoo! 4. Anyone see the Indy 500?? Isn't it nice that we all know how to say Buddy Rice? It sure is. Nice to see an American win it again. 5. *YAWN* The Yankees are in first place again. Different year, same story. Poor BoSox fans. 6. If you want to end your football career with controversy, sign up to be the head coach at Colorado. McCartney, Neuheisel, and Barnett. What a grand school. (Although, Barnett wasn't fired.) 7. Just an observation: The British papers and people love two things more than anything else. They love soccer and sex. Kind of convenient since they both start with "s". They are obsessed with David Beckham and who he's with or isn't. Looks like his wife Victoria is becoming the Hillary Clinton of Great Britian. Sucks to be either one of them. 8. We know what you're thinking: WHY ISN'T IT FRIDAY ALREADY? We hear ya there!	SPORTS LINKS mouse over to see the link!

Is that what's known as a non-sequitor? Or a plea to do what I can and not what I can't!?

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, just teasing you Jinx!! You do have a grand appreciation for poetry. That is worth a lot.

Why, thank you, Your Highness.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.

So, how many questions have "we" finished today? Things moving along well? Any more tornadoes?

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Fawnn]

Not enough. I'm having a health issues day. (grrrrrrrrr)

I did get more software I'll be using for the book and managed to play with it enough to learn my way around, so all was not lost. (Plus the editor is pleased that I was able to obtain that and another piece of software because it's going to save the layout and design people some work. ... It's always nice to get an e-mail from an editor that includes the word "kudos.") ;)

[Kathy in Alaska]

It's always nice to get an e-mail from an editor that includes the word "kudos." ;)

This is always a good thing. Hope you feel better on the morrow. So how many Tbsp in a third of a cup? I thought of you as I was messing around with 1 egg and 1/3 cup + 1Tbsp of water. LOL!

[Fawnn]

16 tablespoons = 1 cup

so 1/3 cup would be 5 tablespoons + 1/3 tablespoon (or 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon)

1 large egg is generally considered to be 1/4 cup

...but, once you catch up on yesterday's thread, you'll see that I said I would have done what you did: Used the whole egg and added enough water to make the batter the proper pancake-making consistency. (tomkow6 said to use applesauce instead of water, but he's not counting carbs.) ;)
