David S I've been eating turkey bacon lately, it's okay and still gives me the taste of bacon, my Dr says it's okay. NO it does NOT taste like regular bacon, but it does taste enough like it that it's palatable.


Not to me. The real thing or forget it. I do buy reduced sodium when I can, though.

I knew I shouldn't have

I knew I shouldn't have mentioned balloons.

Good afternoon everyone :)

*edge towards Kathryn's cake* I trust we're all having a nice weekend?

I strayed into insulting comments territory :( for which I am very sorry everyone *sad blink* I personally like the variety of shapes and sizes that bums, and the rest of us, come in.

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Good Morning Annie. The cake was a hit. Not as good as when my grandmother made it, but then again, is anything as good as your grandmother made it? I wish I hadn't gotten lazy and peeled the apples. But I'm a lazy cook and the skins broke down pretty well. I think it would have been better with a tarter apples. But I used what I had.

I'm helping my brother move the next couple days so there won't be any cooking from me. I'm armed with audio books for the car. I just have to decide if I want to rip them to the computer and put them on a USB drive or just take the CDs with me.

Kathryn :o)

Good morning everyone!!!

I went to bed at 11:30pm my time last night as the F1 race is on at 8am my time this morning, I needed to get some sleep as the last couple of days I got up at 3:30am one morning and then 4:30am the next day!! Today I slept until a more normal 5:30am, WOO HOO!!!

Annie I agree bum size is personal and something someone should almost NEVER opine on about someone elses!! At least not in public OR when asked if 'it looks too big?'!! I often give a disinterested 'nah' and then quickly move on to some other totally unrelated subject!!

Well it's a good day !

Well it's a good day ! :-)

I lost my wallet last week but it is all good now. No, I didn't get the wallet back. But I lost no money so that's the bonus. However :

- for $26 I get a new car license card issued.

- I had this amusing round about declaring one of the money cards ( a debit card ) as lost. As I didn't do telephone or online banking with it then my claim per phone of a having lost the card was 'intrinsically unverified' ( whatever that means ). You see if I had that facility then I would have called and got through via a secret-code which is in place for such things. Anyway I think that really meant that who I was for that call was unverified. Fair enough, I get that. Otherwise one could cancel some else's card just for spite, right ? Anyhows that lead to a longer to & fro about things I ought only know. One was :

Them : Can you describe any transaction with the card in the last seven days ?

Me : No.

Them : Well, that's a problem.

Me : No it isn't. There have been no transactions with that card since , which is rather more than 7 days ago, and it was . Only I would know that.

Them : Oh yeah.

Me : Yep.

.... pause .... followed by another ...

Me : Err, what now ?

Them : We're not in the pathway now.

Me : What pathway is that ?

Them : The one that verifies who you are.

Me : Because of the seven day thing ?

Them : Yes.

Me : Oh. So what I said isn't covered ?

Them : No. Can you give me two minutes ?

Me : Sure. No problem.

Them : Please hold.

.... some lovely classical music .....

.... I pick my nose .... I file my nails ... I scratch my ..

Them : That's fine. I just had to check with my supervisor

Me : Eggsalad.

Them : Pardon sir ?

Me : Excellent.

and so the problem was solved.

Cheers, Mike.

My little toe amazingly

My little toe amazingly doesn't hurt too much. However about an inch behind it does. You see it made hard contact with the corner of the dresser as I tried to walk by. Then I looked down cursing in pain to see it pointing off about 45 degrees from where it normally does. The curing became more. I reached down to feel where the break was. As I did so I felt a pop and the toe went back to its normal spot. Some more feeling and light palpation was unable to discern that any hard stuff wasn't in one piece and motion did not cause an increase in pain. I suspect the area of pain is where the top of the foot contacted the dresser and is more of a bruise with some laceration. Now some time later there is no swelling, the toe has motion and moving it does not cause additional pain. I don't suggest any of you try this at home.

I'm thinking about a sock on the foot tonight in bed just so that it doesn't catch the sheets tonight and pop out of place. I'm also glad tomorrow is a holiday so I don't have to put work shoes on!

OUCH!!!! You might also try some ice, a few minutes on and a few minutes off, for any pain that your usual stuff, ie Tylenol, doesn't cover. It sounds like you were really lucky nothing broke, I think, being an older guy, mine would be in multiple pieces!! Older peoples bones and their associated parts at the joints don't stretch very well, well for most of us anyway. And yes a sock would help keep the toe from getting 'caught' in the sheets, a small piece of tape, strapping it to the next toe, could help when you have to put your work shoes on again.

I whacked my own little toe on something a month or so ago, it turned black and blue but was never able to not move or out of joint or anything, it's now back to normal but was painful for a bit.

Happy Fourth of July to everyone, yes I know it's an American Holiday but we tend to 'borrow' everyone elses Holiday's so you guys can use ours too if you want to have a party!!
