  Nice! I'm glad I took a small break from making my spaghetti sauce (been making it the last two hours or so :O) and came across this! Thanks!

        Well, as long as you aren't allergic to tomatoes, garlic, oregano, red onions, Italian sausage and olive oil... I think you would be safe eating it! Oh, green pepper as well! Right now its just cooking away excess water, what its been up to the past hour or two... gotta stir it often though, so nothing burns!

            I had to get a crown on my tooth just a few weeks ago! I fell asleep while it was going on... I fear no dentist! As long as they have Novocaine... and use it liberally!

                Sorry to hear that. I tried to hold onto mine. But a combination of eating to many lemons when I was kid-highly acidic- poor dental hygiene and bad water in the field. Added with boxing and loving sweets did me in. LOL

                Oh well I can eat almost everything now even corn on the cob. LOL

                Good luck to you. And God Bless and watch over you.

                  Took care of mine too, and they were good, but the roots had grown into my sinus cavity! Lots of pain, thought i had a sinus infection all the time, and the healing has been slow and grueling.

                  Thanks cbg! Same to you.

            2 pounds of it went into my sauce! Then I boiled away much of the excess tomato sauce and water... it was very hearty! I couldn't even eat one plate of it!

                  My son is a great cook too Mdiar, for the same reasons you are. He did go to Culinary Arts School, but not much of a demand for chefs around here, and they don't pay nearly as well as they should, so he is a supervisor in a factory, but we reap the rewards of his great cooking.

                  Hey i also taught him how to clean and do laundry, but i think he forgot everything he learned about those, MESSY!

                  You're just mean Mdiar, just kidding... I intend to pig out when i'm well.

                    I know how to clean... and to do laundry... I just don't! I bet your son is the same! I never went to Culinary Arts School... all I know, I learned from my mother and my eldest brother... oh, my father too! I suppose its enough to get by in life!

                      One of my son's professors, or chef teachers, whatever they are called, asked him where he learned some of the things he knew about cooking, and he told him, from his mother. The chef told him most great cooks do get their first exposure from their mothers.

                      It's great to have good mentors in life. My mother was an English teacher, an excellent cook and a great house keeper. I learned most of what i know from her, and my own imagination. A good imagination will take you a long way in the kitchen.

                        Yup! I already out-pace my mother in spaghetti and a few other things! My mother is a therapist (as is my father) and not the greatest house-keeper (long hours at her job... very long, up to 12 hours a day) but the most important thing I have taken away from both of them is a knowledge of the human psyche and basic human nature! I suppose that is what happens when you have parents who make that their career... oh, also a decent command of the English language. My mother has an English minor. Also, political science minor with my father, so perhaps a bit of knowledge in that as well.

Anyway, I better get going... going to watch some Babylon 5 tonight and tomorrow is the day my ex is supposed to be coming back from a trip... wanna make sure everything went alright, not spoken with her since Tuesday! (well, an e-mail on I believe Thursday about something she was getting for me and when she'd be back)

                                She may not sound like an ex... but I assure you, she is! Its a shame though... I know what the present is already, something rather nice, will be giving me something to do for a very long time!

    OMG n2n that is hilllllarious!! I love how he side steps, slides and really 'dances' to the beat. I could spend hours watching some very funny parrot YouTube videos, this one is a real gem for sure!!!!

    so while looking at the other vid of Snowball, I came across this, Snowball was a rescue bird. I'm sure it takes a tremendous amount of dedication and love to have a bird, glad there are people like Irene!

        Yes it is, but as she explains, they go through a time like rebellious teenagers, I'm sure a lot of people can't handle, just like people seeing a cute puppy or kitten, then it grows up and they can't handle it. Some peoples immaturity really ticks me off, but at least the previous owner found Snowball a good 'GREAT' home, so it's all good!!! bet he regrets it now....

          I guess i am just different. Taking in an animal is like having a kid, they are a committment that doesn't go away just because they go through terrible twos or rebellious teenage years, i am in it for the long haul.. Til death do us part. I had to have one of my babies put to sleep in 2005 and there's not a day that i don't miss him, moreso than some people that have passed.. they love so unconditionally and completely, people can never love exactly that same way, IMO!

                My Salem is about 2 years old and follows me around my house... he's a great cat. One of the few cats I've ever owned who actually enjoyed people and didn't merely tolerate them!

                  That's what's so great about cats! They own you, you never own them! lol Dear loves us, not many other people but a few, she doesn't like kids much, but doesn't hurt them.

              yeah, my Monkey Boodle boy (all black) picked me at the humane society, and then of course I picked him!

              I'm really a dog person, tho I love all animals, Monkey is 8yrs old now and I never thought I could love a cat as much as I do him. I believe you when you say there's not a day you don't miss him n2n, if only our beloved pets lived as long as we do, they teach us so much!

                I used to call Boo my pet Monkey sometimes! He was one of a kind, never was declawed, but never clawed a piece of furniture, walked on a leash, and when i took him to the vet he would set between my legs on his leash, just looking around. People were amazed at him. I found him in the parking lot where i worked in 1990, just a kitten, and had to have him put to sleep in 2005.. Hardest thing i have ever done..

  I'm sending this to my daughter. She has a couple of Cockatoos that do nothing but squawk. LOL Just like a couple of kids that need attention all the time.

  Thanks N2N.

  Our feathered friends make excellent house pals. Where I come from, it is thought they have healing powers. Like many of our animal friends, they can sense injured humans. Damned birds can talk better, sing better, and dance better than I ever will. Oh, did I mention they can also fly better better than this aged narly Swamp-butt can walk?

  Sweet Sister, I hope you can return soon. We miss you.

    My room mate had an African gray, funniest bird I ever heard, it's laughing, and saying all kinds of things, including when I'd walk into the kitchen at night, it would go "shhhh" be quiet!

    people would swear there was someone in the house talking and laughing.

    well anyhow it was also the meanest bird I ever knew, take your finger off if you gave it half a chance.

    Snowballs dancing is amazing!!

  Doesn't anyone but me see the tragic side to a dancing bird?

  Alright, there isn't a tragic side but it was fun to say that.

  Unlike D Maximus I do not resent the fact that he can dance better than I can.

  I resent that he seems to have a better head of hair.

    CRYM - From what "rumour control" says, the girlies should be VERY happy that you are "follically challenged"....

  Cool, n2n. The guy's got rythym. But he did have a sort of captive audience.
