Perhaps we can use this topic to post all the stuff that we really don't want to start a thread for, or stuff that is perhaps too long for the shout box.

Kinda the way the off-topic thread was heading.

People were triming trees today out by the mall.

why? is it xmas again?

People were cutting down great big trees along Robinwood Drive today

Our first H-M Fest was a rousing success tonite. Many new friends were made and funny stories exchanged. Plus we got to see each other in person. Beautiful people all. We even ragged on the people who weren't there. Plus, hello to the guy sitting at the bar that wouldn't come over and introduce himself...

Where's my lip gloss! I'm there!

Dammit!!! I missed it. so how many were in attendance and do you think we could possibly make this a once a month deal?

I'm just glad I didn't scare you guys too much last night! Although...heather's hands kept shaking...hmmm....


GREEDY WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!???
*pssttt heather IS a babe and you missed it*

So who was the guy hitting on Yoss from the bar??

We had 7 ppl show up... I don't want to give their names in case they want to remain anon....

Sorry you couldn't make it Samy, we were looking for you.

I think the guy at the bar was Greedy....lmaooo

I'll come next time too!

Oh man... I had no idea we were having a meet & greet. Crap. Did I miss the memo?

I was so nervous and fidgety. And if I was scared of you, I wouldn't have hugged you, twice even. You're the only one that really hugged me back. Everyone else did the polite embrace thing.

I went home and had more to drink. Now my belly hurts and I'm hungover.


There was a public shout yesterday. You must attend next time.

I liked the group hug! I think Yoss was just surprised that such a young babe like yourself was huggin on him!

There was booze and everything? Oh man... I can't believe I missed it.

Wish I had known, Feather... I would've stayed and drank with you!

Oh yes. We had a grand ol' time. We were drinking, smoking, eating, cussing, rubbing boobs together, trading porn, ... You really missed out!

It was like I had died and gone to heaven...

...being the only guy there surrounded by all those beautiful women....

How big are your boobs Yoss?

38AAA

Sweet!

my hubby resents that remark, Yoss!

well, he was only there for a short time.... lol

I guess if you only PM chicks to come you would be the only guy there asshat...

The back channel buzz is that somebuddy decided to improve his odds by demanding that Mr. Moms 'login' to the affair with a registered User Name and Password...hence Mr. M's abrupt departure.

38AAA? Somebuddy has nothing to fear when H-M initiates its random steroids testing policy. The sports desk however, faces some problems.This is nothing but sheer titillation in a brazen bid to increase attendance.

We assume H-M picked up the entire tab for this soiree since it constituted a Forums focus group and thus qualified as a legitimate business expense.

Aww, I had to pay Oh well, I had a great time anyway! And yes, we're a great bunch of peeps, aren't we? I think the guy at the bar just wanted to come over and join us cuz we're so awesome

Heather, what's this about the hugs??? Okay, you're in for it next time I see you...I'll give you a big ol' smooch!

ew.


naomi you were huggin on everybody! it was that "dessert"!!




there you go ass-u-me ing again. you sound jealous about this whole thing. you could've PM'd Yoss or Naomi and gotten the 411 and joined us.It was in the shout box for all to see and participate. quit yer bitchin little man!

Hey everyone I had no idea this was going to take place, i'm so new i wouldn't have came any way, but i'm glad you all enjoied your self's. I love to PARTY, after i get to know you all more in here, if you decide to have another get together, if it's ok, i would love to met you all..............

Sorry to bust your buzz, econ, but Mr. Moms does have a user name and password. He lets me do most of the posting for both us. However, I never refer to us as WE, like some people do!

Poor Yoss was stuck with all those beautiful women, but he meant after I had gone....otherwise he would have said he was surrounded by bedraggled sea hags! (no offense intended toward my beautiful counterparts)

[Oh yes. We had a grand ol' time. We were....rubbing boobs together...[/quote]This is nothing but sheer [i]titillation in a brazen bid to increase attendance.[/i]


Now, Don't everybody jump all over Ec. I think he is just using his play on words......to be funny. At least, I thought it was funny!

I'm a hugger! Watch out, I'll give you a big smooch too Dragon!

And Moms, you and hubby are a very cute couple...and fun! I'd love to get together with everyone again!

Heh. Titillation.

Nah, I don't think I can handle meeting many more anonymous posters. It was stressful enough for me to meet this bunch, as sweet as they all were. It was too stressful. I was practically wringing my hands.

Just for the record, I was a perfect gentleman.

The only thing I did was check out Heather's butt.....

oh yea. sea hags. right, miss pretty blonde with the handsome hubby! stop it!

hello, id like to ask someone if they ever made dandelions, you know greens , mom always made it when she was alive , i never learned how to make it , is there any help out there? thank you ,

just a quick google on "dandelion greens" came up with this

The name dandelion comes from the French dent de lion, meaning "lion's tooth," a reference to the jagged-edged leaves of this noteworthy weed that grows both wild and cultivated. The bright green leaves have a slightly bitter, tangy flavor that adds interest to salads. They can also be cooked like spinach. The roots can be eaten as vegetables or roasted and ground to make root "coffee." Though they're available until winter in some states, the best, most tender dandelion greens are found in early spring, before the plant begins to flower. Look for bright-green, tender-crisp leaves; avoid those with yellowed or wilted tips. Refrigerate, tightly wrapped in a plastic bag, up to 5 days. Wash thoroughly before using. Dandelion greens are an excellent source of vitamin A, iron and calcium.

heres a receipe

Dandelion Greens (Pioneer Recipe)

* 2 lbs. fresh dandelion greens
* 2 cloves garlic
* 2 T. oil
* salt and pepper to taste

The small young leaves are the most tender. Larger, older leaves are bitter. Clean and wash the leaves. Do not eat the stem or the flower. Cut the leaves in half. Heat the oil and garlic in a saucepan. Add the leaves, salt, and pepper. Cook about 12 minutes or until tender. Add water if it gets too dry. Serve hot.

thats a good site , but it diden't tell me how to make the bacon dressing , i would love to find out.

I'm thinkin that my neighbor(growing up) used the same bacon dressing for this as she did for the spinach salad. check a Betty Crocker cookbook for that dressing.I think it's in there.

Hubby grew up on it. Says it was made from bacon grease. His dad was a Mennonite tenant farmer; maybe a Mennonite or Amish cookbook?

thanks yossarian, diden't see your whole post , im at the stove right now.

tagout, you have dandelions already?

You must be a bit farther south.

This sounds good:


Wilted Dandelion Greens with Hot Bacon Dressing


1 pound dandelion greens
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 strips of sliced slab bacon
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Wash the dandelion greens thoroughly, spin them dry, and place them in a glass salad bowl. Peel and slice the onion, separating the slices into rings.

Cut the bacon into l-inch pieces and fry them in a heavy skillet until they are crisp. When they have rendered all of their fat, pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings, return the skillet to the burner, and rapidly stir in the sugar and the cider vinegar.

Adjust the seasoning and pour the hot dressing over the greens and onion. Add the salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Serves 4

yes yossarian, i have a field full of those things , going to cook up a pot full to , naomi i thinik iim goiing to love to eat them to the way you wrote it up, sounds more like mom made thanks every one .

Tossed weeds and yard waste...

That sounds like the same dressing for the spinach. yum spinach.....mmmm

Anyone want dandelions? My yard is full of 'em...

I mowed for the first time tonight. Our lack of rain dating back to last summer has left small bare spots everywhere in my yard. This time last year, my yard was fit to be pictured in a ChemLawn brochure, now notsomuch.

My lawn looks better than normal this year. I fertilized late last fall and again this spring (also added lime, gypsum and Ironite). I seeded some parts last month and have tried to keep them watered during this last week. So far so good.

You people are goofy putting stuff ON the grass to make it grow just to be able to mow it DOWN again ! Who ya tryin to "keep up" with? It's grass for pete's sake! And why do you want to give everybody the impression that your place is so perfect? I have never understood this! It's grass. It WILL grow again and it will reseed itself.
