Do Bees Sneeze? :)

Would a bee fall to its knees if it heard Snee's sneeze?

oh yes, ketchup and juju!

snees and bees
a po-em by snee...inspired and initiated by kl and jj2bd, who baited a snee to write all rhymey!

bees fall to their knees when they hear a snee's sneeze,
snees worry about bees 'cause of bad allergies,
bees also sneeze when they buzz around snees,
but those snees like to hang by their very own knees,
from the limbs of the odd looking monkey-tail trees,
and the bees like to buzz up where there's a breeze,
so the snees and the bees both try not to sneeze,
sitting cordially together having their teas.

oh, and when snees hang by their knees from the monkey-tail trees,
they don't lose their minds, but often their keys.

just sayin'.

We emptied our Ketchup bottle last week when I made a yummy meatloaf! You've all reminded me to add "ketchup" to my grocery list. Hello, folks! Ketchup, you've got lots of personality!

Just remember this - it takes a LOT of tomatoes to make a great bottle of ketchup!!!

Snee-that was the best poem in the history of the clubhouse :)

Thanks Sia for those kind words. What brand of ketchup do you buy?

I haven't had meatloaf since my mother passed away
in '97 :(

Sorry for your loss K

Tell me - have you recently switched from Glass to Plastic? Has it gotten you down?

I mean Plastic is very squeezable, but its just not glass. Ya miss pounding on it to get the sauce out.

Was it something about Ketchuplover enjoying a good spanking like that, Moonie?

Oh, I'm so happy to see everyone coming to cheer up our Ketchup! (I'm sorry about your mother Ketch)

Hey! I went to see 8 Legged Freaks today! It was a fun movie, just what I needed. Thanks for the tip!

KetchupLover, you're one of the most fun people on this board! I thought you must have been having a down day when you originally posted (on the 13th), but you seem to be coming around again. Hope so!

As for brands of ketchup, I will buy any name-brand that is on sale, for example, Hunts, Heinz or Del Monte, but I do avoid the generic brands. I prefer the squeeze bottle and HOARD the free packets of ketchup from the fast-food restaurants, which I keep in a clean frosting-container in the refrigerator door. Just this week at the kitchen store I found the cutest acrylic box for my ketchup packets; it makes them handy and most attractive on the table at meal-times. I bought the ketchup-packet-holder because it reminded me of you, KetchupLover!

Certain foods always make me think of people who loved special dishes. I hope your memories of your mother are good ones, and I hope you always enjoyed her meatloaf. A woman just loves to be appreciated for her good cooking, and all women love their sons. I am sorry that you no longer have your mother in your life; I feel very blessed to still have mine. ((((KetchupLover))))

What do you guys think of the colorful ketchups? I haven't bought one, but I hear from my resident expert (my 9 year old) that they are good.

Twiggyish, I wanted to buy the green ketchup for my son (who won't eat ANYTHING new), but he vetoed that right in the grocery store. Tonight, OMG, he ate some cooked broccoli. I sneaked it into him, LOL. He was engrossed in his PlayStation and I brought in a plate of food. He's almost 6, but I am desperate to get him to try new things, so I approached him when he was most vulnerable: totally engrossed in a demo of a game that I learned was accessible on another PSX game via a "cheat-code." I fed him a couple of bites of pork roast and potatoes--then sneaked in a bite of cooked broccoli! He ate three more bites of it before he realized that something was different. He then let me feed him another bite and admitted that he liked it. I feel sneaky, but victorious. I recommend this highly: ambush your picky-eater when his hands are busy with a game-controller and his concentration is totally on a new game. No telling what the kid might eat!

Twig, I bought the pink and blue squeezable margarine (makes it quick and easy for frying eggs or scrambled eggs, etc.; I always keep a bottle of the regular yellow stuff on hand) to keep by the stove, but my husband just threw a FIT about it when I fried eggs for him in pink butter! I ended up throwing it away. The stuff tastes just fine, but must have lots of artificial colors in it to make it so vibrant a color. Anyway, I was just wanting to tempt my kids to try it and they'd had it at their older sister's house, but do you think they wanted any part of it? No way. Not after big-mouth Daddy threw in his two cents!

No, pink butter would never work in my house..LOL
They'd never eat it.

LOL, Sia.

Would you mind coming over and feeding me my dinner while I read and post on the boards?
I'll even eat the cooked broccoli!

Sia

Oh, Bob, honey, I'd love nothing better than to spoon-feed you all night long. Where are you, darling? I just love to lavish attention on a nice man. I am dead serious. I'm not trying to pick you up; I have a man. I just love to be nice to fellows, and it just makes me feel great to make a GOOD man happy!

I prefer plastic to glass bottles. GO PACKERS.

Anybody else here see SIGNS? scary

Sia give your mom a (()) from me please. :)

Thanks, Ketchup. I will do just that. Mom helps any way she can; she's the best. My mom and dad both went with me to the doctor's office today to help keep an eye on my kids--and to make sure I didn't skip out on the appointment. Boy, I certainly tried to, though. My mom got all indignant with me when I tried to cancel by phone, and she and Dad hauled my sorry behind down there.

Not a happy camper today. Don't want a test. Don't want to do anything. Don't want to hear bad news. God, I'm scared.

Bob, I'm smiling back at you! You're my favorite sponge.

Oh, KetchupLover, today I got a 32-oz. plastic squeeze-bottle of Hunts. It was ten cents cheaper than the 24-oz. plastic squeeze-bottle of Heinz. I got more for my money, and that much ketchup will go a long way! I could leave a ketchup trail from here all the way to, well, Bob's house. (The trail would be so I could find my way home again after feeding Bob my home-made broccoli w/ chicken & stuffing casserole!)
