My opinion, ever since I tasted eggplant parmesiano, is that the only good eggplant is an eggplant that looks and tastes nothing like eggplant.

I can't wait until my sister gets here with my dad. I'm going to tell her that the "non-speak" my dad has spoken for all the years we've known him is officially called "Clam". She lives with him still; so she can use all the HUMOR she can get. I guess if HP is The Great Clam, your dad will have to be the Giant Clam. I read somewhere a long time ago that giant clams are so powerful that if a diver gets caught in the shell as it closes, the clam is able to hold him underwater so he can't escape. How fast do those shells close, anyway? How slow is the diver? Get some butter, and tomato juice, too, in case the clam chowder doesn't work out and you need another dish or two! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> t&l

You could put it in the center of a giant Parmesan cheese WHEEL and you would still not have enough cheese to disguise the fact that you're eating eggplant!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Neak - I'm with you on the eggplant.
Heck,
I like eggplant, and I'm not even a
vegi...
vegit...
sometimes I eat meat.
I think I like all the veggies - but there are some I haven't tried since they don't grow them locally. (in this country.)
No sleep today T&L?
How does that work?
CSue,
I am glad the discussion went well. Do you worry too much sometimes?
Not enough others?
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

If I can say me-- mmmee-- mmmmmmmmmmmmmmt, you can say vegetables. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I think I like all the veggies - but there are some I haven't tried since they don't grow them locally. (in this country.) Not me! It's not in the Vegetarian's Official Handbook that I have to like 'em all. And the kids were never required to eat vegetables I didn't like myself. But if I liked 'em, they were good food, and they had to clean their plates! No sleep today T&L?
How does that work? I take every Friday night off, whether I need to or not! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> So a quick nap in the morning and then I can be up the rest of the day, and go to bed early. My goal is 5PM, but it seldom works out that way. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I'm a real party animal, I am!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Taking a break..... Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww eggplant. Sorry! SS, Believe it or not I worry less than I used to. I am a reformed control freak....I just forget I'm reformed sometimes. Life is so much more peaceful once I decided to stop tyring to control everything and just them them play out naturally. Who am I to get in the way of someone else's lessons... I just forget this sometimes still. Especially with this YS. He has soooooo many lessons ahead of him, but we do see signs of him learning. Just curious, at what age do your children think that YOU AS A PARENT KNOW SOMETHING! In middle school according to my boys....I'm getting dumber, as they get smarter??? So SS, with 8 children....at what age (their age, that is) did you start to appear intelligent again to them? Do your older children think you're wise? Do they listen at times? Ok back to the grindstone.. Edited to add: t&l....let's call him the grandclam in honor of him being a grandfather! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

T&L, I dont' have an aversion to saying it, I just couldn't remember how to spell it.
AS Weaver pointed out, my spelling is really bad, but only on weekdays, and weekends. The rest of the time I spell fine.
CSue,
I have to be away on business a few hours, I'll get back to you, but not sure when.

PS,
I didn't like them all (veggies) when I was small, but once I moved away from home, and had to cook for myself - well, people invited me to dinner, and I was so hungry........ there is little I won't eat now days.
(but note I did not say "nothing I won't eat.")

Many years ago, I must have been a teenager, I read a novel where a girl has a first love, they separate and she does some silly things trying to become a star in hollywood (drugged she makes a porn film). Eventually she becomes a starlet and marries an older comedian. Years later he has a stroke, and she helps him recover. He manages to have a couple of shows and has another stroke and becomes wheelchair bound. At this point she meets her first love again and so she drowns her husband in order to be free to be with him. Unfortunately the day she is going to get together with him on a cruise, he commits suicide because somebody showed him her "porn" movie. I know it's sort of silly, but the truth is that I was most impressed with the longterm effects things might have and you never know when or where they may crop up. That book certainly made me very careful about everything I did. By the way, your story has a John Irving style to it. Every detail ends up having an important meaning! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

Well, at least all you eggplant lovers <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> out there can be sure of one thing: I will NEVER be arm wrestling you for your serving!!! It is entirely yours. It's too slimy. Blech.
I'm going to bed now. I'm off by 3 hrs. of my goal, but still early enough.

I've been distracted. I've been reading this book when I should have been wasting time on the Internet. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Yes, I like it.
I just got off the phone - xw called - I thought it was going to be something nice (why do always expect the unexpectable). She was giving me a lecture along the lines of "I don't want DD coming home with stitches every time she visits you."
And then she switched to insisting that I give her the electronic piano that fell on DD - because I "bought for DD and you said you were going to bring it to the apartment". Yeah, well, I changed my mind. It's mine! <evil laugh>

Now its about ..oh wow...he actually said he loves me and misses me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> As well he should. How wonderful for you. It's about time you had some good feedback from your soldier (not mine, who doesn't feed back worth a diddle and basically never has.) When he starts making you blush we'll quit watching.OK? Interesting Ambien induced post tonight. The letters are dancing and the keys are moving about on the keyboard so that everything looks drunk. . I feel drunk too, and the room furniture is waving its tentacles at me. I think I'm ready for bed.
