    Again ... I think this is of the most Utmost Importance.
    What I warned about as { even had a thread } concerning
    Facebook and it's role.Don't dare use the juvenile excuse as to
    this Grill being Off Limits to Politics.
    Admit how you got played { as were a majority of decent,fair-minded
    Americans into believing how Facebook and Google } were used to
    steer the American populace into Hating-on Conservative American
    loving patriots in favor of Marxist thought in deed and action.

    You can have it any way you want it, as long as it's breaded and fried, LOL.
    Do I just fry it long enough to burn? After cleaning, I have a quart freezer bag of boneless fillets that could barely close.

    When we lived in Louisiana we fished a pier on lake Ponchatrain (sp) and caught some Speckled Trout with Crawdad tails. Took an home and fried them up.....mmn
    ..... mmm good. The ones from the fish monger I had to throw away. But they did tell. me how to cook shrimp.

    With wildflowers, sometimes all you need to do is clip the stalk and shake. Most seeds like the chill of winter.

    I want them in a special spot. These were some seed I found in a store and forgot about them till Feb. of this year. I thought it was too late to plant them till they started growing and they have put on quite a show. My husband is going to clear an acre for wildflowers we plan on planting. The seeds I collected will be used to help with seeding the plot. It is going to take a lot of seeds to do what I want to do.

    If you go into a fish market and smell the fish chances are you will not be happy with your purchase. If it smells fishy it means the fish are not fresh or the market is not clean. Either way don't buy.

    It smelled bad everywhere. Got good shrimp right off the boats and they smelled bad too. Also netted up crayfish. It was fun.

    Still working 60+ hrs/wk. I worked down the street from your office a couple of weeks ago. (STALKER ALERT!) You posted a photo once from your office window and I recognized the street.

    Veggies, about 3 kinds of tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, bush beans. This year we added red bell peppers, hoping for the best Then there are carrots, radishes, green onions, lettuce, spinach in the fall.

    With flowers, it varies year to year, but cosmos, cleome, salvias (usually at least 3 colors) coreopsis, Bachelor Buttons (corn flower) and whatever else tickles my fancy. I have a lot of perennials also like coneflowers, guara, catch fly, etc.

    Many folk think the same about Raw Fish.That it tastes fishy.
    I prefer smoked salmon and creamed herring.

    As opposed to " dearly miss working ".
    Begging one to ask ... So you like working from downtown.
    Or don't. I can't imagine hearing Petula Clark in the background
    singing ... - Downtown -.
    How long before Downtown is more like Cop Talk.
    We're taking you Downtown for Booking.
    Dependiing if Cop Talk is now different.

    If I recall correctly, 'south' for you would be over in another country.... are you considering 'ex pat' status?

    It would be years in the future, and I would not take on a complete ex-pat status, more than likely I would push the yearly limits of a tourist visa
