HAPPY (SOLD OUT) SHATTING DAY.. BLESS ALL YOU WHO KEEP US GOING.
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL REQUESTS FOR LARGE CAPS FOR EASY READING.. ( AGING POPULATION I GUESS...)
SPEAKING OF EXTRA THINGS THAT TEND TO HANG AROUND.... A YEAR OR SO AGO I ASKED PEOPLE TO SEND THEIR UNUSED EYEGLASSES/ DON'T GO BUY ANY.. .... IF YOU HAVE OLD UNUSED THAT YU DON'T EVEN NEED AS AN EXTRA PAIR IN THE CAR... WE COULD USE THEM... WE NEED A REFIL...OUR EYEGLASSES BASKET IS GETTING LOW.
FOR THE NEW COMMERS--- THE EYEGALSS BASKET ON THE FIREPLACE IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONE DAY A VERY "WELL HEELED" MAN WAS HERE-- AND THOUGHT OF WRITING US A DONATION, BUT "COULDN'T" BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS EYEGLASSES..
WELLLLLLL I DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT IN THAT SITUATION AGAIN... SO WE HAVE A GOOD SIZE BASKET OF ALL VARIETIES... AND PEOPLE USE THEM.. AND OBVIOUSLY SOMETIMES TAKE THEM- SO THEY ARE USED...
****
I REMNEMBER BEING IN A RESTAURANT IN CORNWALL NEW YORK WHICH HAD A BASKET OF GLASSES - SO WHENEVER THEY SAW SOMEONE STRUGGLING TO READ THE MENU,
TH E WAITRESS WOULD COME ALONG WITH THAT BASKET....
*******
NOW ADDRESSING THE WORD "HAVE" AND IT'S OVERUSE...
I HAVE A FRIEND--- ANN G --- WHO GETS ON MY CASE ABOUT UNNECESSARY WORDS
LIKE THE WAY I STARTED THIS DD "I HAVE HAD" ( 2 BITS SHE EMAILS ME ABOUT IT, I SHOULD HAVE SAID "I HAD")-- WELL AT LEAST I GOT THE HAVE SPELLED RIGHT.
*****
I have DECIDED IN MY EFFORT TO BE KIND TO FIREMEN, I SHOULD LOOSE 20 POUNDS IN CASE THEY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO CARRY ME OUT OF SOMEPLACE....
I AM TOLD DIETING IS EASIER IF YOU USE SPICES TO ENLIVEN THE MEALS.-- YOU ALL KNOW WE ARE ON THE " DUMP DINNER" COOK BOOK FOR SUPPERS..... BUT I ALWAYS LIKED MUCH OF THE INDIAN SEASONINGS-- NOT THE HOT CURRY, BUT THE MORE WELL BEHAVED ONES...CUMIN.. CORIANDER..TUMERIC...ETC..
IN THE PROCESS..... I REMEMBER AN INDIAN RESTAURANT I USED TO FREQUENT-- AND THE DESERT HAD THE MOST PEQUILIAR "AIR" ABOUT IT.. INTOXICATIONG REALLY - I PURCHASED DOZENS OF TYPES OF ROSEWATER TRYING TO FIND IT.. NOW THIS BOOK MENTIONS ADDING ONE DROP OF KEWRA ESSENCE TO A DESERT.. THAT MUST BE IT... SO I HAVE ORDERED SOME..
MAYBE THAT IS WHAT I AM SEEKING (FOR 35 YEARS? )
I CAN ONLY EQUATE IT TO CATNIP FOR A CAT-- SO IF YOU SEE ME ROLLIING AROUND ON THE FLOOR WITH A TINY BOTTLE OF SOMETHING... YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
******
HOPEFULLY... :)
