Stands on soapbox... Well, October 15 is a Global Day of Action. I've heard many of you complain about the way the world is going. So, tomorrow please go out and protest. And if you can't, send a food care package to the folks occupying Wall Street. There's demonstrations going on in Vancouver, Winnepeg, Taiwan, and in 1698 cities through the world. www.meetup.com/occupytogether/I work harder every year, just to stay where I am. steps off soapbox and heads back to the garden where it's 89 degrees and 33% humidity. I went to sleep in California and woke up in Minnesota.

33% isn't what we call humidity! =o/
I have to settle for verbal support. I'm chasing my tail so hard around here these days that I can hardly see daylight. You know your busy when you forget to brush your teeth in the morning!

Jo, I've gone 2 days without brushing my hair! I cook, plant, harvest, cook and fall in bed. I had a tail, but I think I worked it off.

::snigger:: Well, don't look at me! I don't have it! LOLOL
I'm working my schedule for morning bakes and today I started at 5 and by 8:25 I'd started 3 different breads, made & baked a batch of cream puffs, fed the kids, took 2 of them to school, and cleaned the kitchen to be ready to finish the breads and to R@D French macarons.

The only thing I'm allergic to is bees. Got in the woods and got stung 200 times by some sort of wasp. (I tripped over a log). I have never been stung by a honey bee in my garden, but Leo still won't let me keep bees. Don't send cookies. I bake all the time. I just wanted one yesterday...I was beat and hungry and wanted a cookie...

Wow Bunkie! Really? I'm off to read that site as soon as I write this out. It had occured to me, probably at about the same time that you made this entry, that indeed, there is not a single soul in washington that truly represents me and that every last member of congress AND senate should be ousted post haste. Thanks for the post!

Gosh all hemlock, bonsaioutlaw! That certainly sounded negatively judgmental. Did you spend a lot of time at Idig, before coming here?

I was really hoping this garbage would stay at the Idig forum. I don't have a problem with this thread. There's no arguing, fighting, or name calling. Unlike Idig, we hardly ever have issues with the topics & very few problems with the members. We are pretty lenient on the topics too. 99% of our members have been nothing but helpful, generous, respectful, and polite to the other members.
