Days of Our Lives - MESSAGE BOARDS

I don't mind at all!! thank you for the all the kind words!! i do like to make people laugh. i seem to be good at it, except it's usually at my expense. I do some pretty idiotic things that people find HILARIOUS!! i eventually feel the same, but not usually right away!! ha ha ah.

yes alot of people seem to get really wrapped up in the show. oh well. i sometimes get pretty worked up over something about the show, but i usually get over it pretty quickly too.

98% of the time? YIKES!!! well i'm not sure I can say the same about me. I am a happy person for the most part...but oh yes oh yes, i have a temper on a very short fuse!!! ha ha.


so any plans for the weekend? my hubby is busy with work. he's back now, but when he got back things got pretty busy around here. so he's not getting the weekend off which leaves me and the kids to try find our own entertainment. beach maybe? idk yet!!

have a great day and keep smiling!!

Does anyone else can veggetables? I know it is a dying art but I love it. I learned it from my grandmother then when I got married I finally had land to have a garden. I canned whole tomatos today. My tomatos got the blith that hit in the East but mine got it late so my tomatos where saved.

My favorite summer veggies are fried (I use canola oil) okra and fresh tomato's & cornbread. I have a small veg garden each year. This year my 6 tomato plants did not do well. Neither did my okra. My cayanne peppers grew just fine. I grew them to make hot sauce for my turnip greens. Love them too. Fresh corn, yum yum. New potato's. Gosh, I am slobbering, I've got to quit. I freeze any extra okra. I never canned much at all, but helped my mother when I was a teenager.

I'd love to have a garden, but we just moved here, and there's no use having a garden until we get a deer fence up around our yard, which is really expensive. we have about 20 deer that just basically live in our yard all year round. it's a huge problem here that nobody seems to want to do anything about. drives me nutty. and some people down the road FEED THEM FFS!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! no wonder they never leave. and it's really pissing off too cause last year there was a cougar that came down and killed one of the deer....COUGARS EATS KIDS!!!! and 3 weeks ago there was a bear here. called the conservation officer and he said they couldn't do anything unless it was basically attacking me or my family. i didn't want them to shoot and kill the damn bear, just shoot and traquilize it and put it out in the bush!!! BEARS, DEER AND COUGARS DON'T BELONG IN TOWN!!! HELLLLLLOOOOOO....i'm tempted to go make myself some deer pepperoni or jerky. yum yum. lol...

ooops...sorry i got carried away there. ha ha...

anyways...my hubby's family all believe to live off the land so they all grow HUGE gardens...i've never seen anything like it. they are mostly vegetarians, but they do buy the odd turkey so they do eat a bit of meat. they have massive gardens and they can everything. and they make the best russian borscht EVER!!! YUM!!! they keep asking me "do you have a garden???" like i'm almost SHUNNED from the family cause we don't have one yet. NEXT YEAR i will have one. i PROMISE!!!! lol...my favorites are cukes...fresh cukes are the best....and tomatoes and sweet onions (the ones that have no heat to them)...chop em up put a little salt on them, and oh my oh my...so tasty. LOVE IT!!

i have 4 apple trees (1 red delicious, 1 golden delicious, 2 macs) and 2 plum trees though and they are almost reay to pick. can't wait!!!

Holy cow bmes, where do you live, in the middle of an animal zoo? LOL! We have white tail deer here too but they seem to stay in the corn fields that surround our property so they stay out of my garden. However, they are becomming a problem in the suburbs of the city (I live near Pittsburgh, PA) The game commission brought cyotes in to take care of the over population of deer and now the cyotes are out of control! Though I would rather have them then cougars! We do have the occassional black bear and rabbits drive gardners nuts but that's about it.

Cucumber/tomato salad w/onions is great! This year I made it w/all three veggies from my garden and I did grow sweet onions this year. I love a fresh tomato sandwhich, just a slice of tomato on toast w/miricle whip and a little salt and serve it with corn on cob from the garden is a perfect summer meal!!

Western PA is BIG hunting territory, the hippie/activist would get run out of here by a redneck w/a shot gun in his hands!! Well, maybe not that bad but still! I can't believe they shot dogs! If anyone ever shot my dog I would want to shot them!! Cost of living is WAY lower here too.

Adding brown sugar to the corn sounds very good, I will definitly try that, maybe tonight, I have more corn ready. I like avacads too so I will try that. Our avacados aren't as good here because they aren't grown here but shipped in but I still like them. I am assuming you live on the West coast. My husband has relatives in CA and OR and we have visited and OMG, the west coast has the BEST fruit!

You all are making me hungry!! My favorite veggie from the garden is corn. Yum Yum!! I don't have a garden. But, my dad and my father in law do. So, they give us veggies out of their gardens. I always love visiting this time of year because I know when I leave, I've got some goodies coming.

coledog, I live in BC, Canada. we're not right on the coast, but more inland.... there is ALOT of hunters around these parts too, but we're also quite close to a town called Nelson, which is a MAJOR hippie town, so they spread from there. lol...
the fruit around this area and especially in the okanagan where I just moved from is AMAZING. my grandparent's cherry trees were LOADED this year, and their apricots get to the size of apples. they are HUGE and juicy, and make the best marmalade!!

ladybamafan, yes i know i love this time of year too. we always get big jars of borscht, bags upon bags of perogies, pickles, beets, huckleberry tarts, wild mushrooms, you name it, from my hubby's dad!!!

I can't wait to grow my own garden next year!!!

bmes, so sorry, for some reason I thought you lived in California, must be thinking of someone else. That is very cool you live in British Columbia. How close are you to Vancouver? Everyone I know who has been there says how beautiful Vancouver is and what a great city it is. I have only ever been to Toronto in Canada but I would love to visit Vancouver someday! Now all the wildlife makes more sense! All the fruits and veggies you mentioned sound delicious! What is borscht?

Ladybam, I am the one that is always handing out garden goodies to family. I swear I think they run and hide when I come with my zucchini because I always get too many and I swear those things could survive a nucular war!!
