Hey, guys! Don't do all the langostinos the way you usually do. There's a marvelous sauce they make in Barbados that is just perfect for langos. It's a yellow mustard with a mixture of peppers diced up and mixed in. I had a jar of it that sort of got lost in the back of the fridge for a few months (well, okay, maybe it was really years),. But anyway, when I found it again and drug it out, the durn lid had rusted and collapsed into the sauce. Wonder what it does to your tummy if it eats the lids off the bottle? And when ya git reddy to start cooking them steaks, don't spend no money on hickory. Jist gitcha some cheap briquettes (durn that's a big word) and when the coals git rite fer cooking, thro on a couple seed cones from that magnolia tree in the south end of the field. Soak 'em in the crik a bit first. They'll make up a nice mess o' smoke that'l give you a steak better'n any other you ever et. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm good!

Not to worry, here comes DougR with the WD40, that should cure both problems.

She's got some kind of problem. Hold my place, though. Old Big Mick will be amblin over dripping with charm the moment I disappear.

'Spaw, honey, don't you think you'd be a little more comfortable if you'd just set yourself down here with your back to the door? There you go... just face the stage and don't pay any attention to what's going on back there. Look, it's Alice and Mmario and, oh... for heaven's sake ... I think they've gotten their eras mixed. She's all velvet and turn-of-the century, and he's ... well, turn of an entirely different century. But, my, don't they sound nice with that harmony???

Say, pour me some nice scotch, if you please. I've just spent a weekend down visiting Mom and Dad. Dad's now home, in a hospital bed, sleeping a lot, sometimes cheerful, sometimes a true grump. It's hard to watch. Mom's doing pretty well, but I wish that life permitted me to be more helpful.

Susan A-R, sorry I missed you when we came through the *door* at the same time. I am sorry about your dad. I know what you mean about not being able to help more. All last fall and winter, I felt really guilty about being four hours away from mom and my sister, bet, have the sole responsibility of dealing with her, a full time job, and a troublesome teenage son she's raising alone. My phone bills were horrendous, but at least mom was pretty lucid until just the last few days.

Here...have another one on me, just take a deep breath and blow out all that stress. Maybe one of the guys can remember to give you a good massage, with lotion, only! I'm pretty good at getting those trigger points in the shoulders, neck, and back, if they are too busy calming the 'Spaw down.

I TRIED putting a content filter on the door, but it wouldn't fit. Sorry 'bout that. Still recovering from a great weekend in Maryland and a long trip back that involved laughing our way across several states...my laugh muscles HURT! But while I was down there, not only did my normal ren-faire stuff, but even ran across a 'catter! The world she's a growin' smaller every day!

AND....I experienced my first 'possum sighting! We were in a gas station on Crownsville Road in Maryland, when we saw this small dark object skittering around in the road. It was pretty small, and though at the distance it was hard to tell, it looked mighty like the pictures I've seen of Cleigh. Complete to the the tail curving up and across the body. Whatever it was, and I'm convinced that if it wasn't Cleigh it was a near relative; it ran back and forth and 'round every time a vehicle would pass, until at last (Thank Goodness!) it safely reached the far side of the road and disappeared into a pile of brush.

Loved looking at the scenery here, but I feel a lack of a certain je nais se quoi - there, that fixes it.

Where are you FROM, MMario, that you had to come all the way here to Maryland to see one of our overgrown marsupial rats(AKA possums)? The one you saw must have been an Einstein of its kind - they usually don't make it across the road...

Maybe some of the more knowledgeable Mudcatters will help you out this time, but if you've searched the database already for such a song, maybe you would want to start a new thread that would capture a bit more attention. Something like, "Need lyrics to "Who's gonna dance with Sally Ann?" Then in your message write all the lyrics you know as you did in the one above. Check out the database first though.

If you want to see the full list of what's going to be comin' at us for the next 5-6 years, NOAA has a history of hurricane names and official name list. Personally, I kind of like the idea of "Harvey Wallbanger", who's next on the list for this year after Gert. So hunker down, Paul, with a bottle o' the best, and we'll talk to you when your power comes back on...

Jeri, can you do your generator magic for Paul? I actually kindof liked the concert by candlelight without the squeals of pain from the sound system...
