i haven't even seen REAL OKRA, let alone pre-breaded! now if it was at some fancy restaurant (with a 4 start executive chef that has won a james beard award). they probably had it shipped in from oklahoma or somewhere and breaded it with true bread crumbs from bread shipped in from france and exquisitely encased in a lovely estate bottled extra virgin olive oil... then i could see it here in napa!

Right now, adding unsolicited okra comments: Sorry but I have always hated okra. Course the only okra I've ever tasted was in vegetable soup. I was suspicious of those little hairy things inside the cut-up pieces. (I used to spoon it all out.) Never had any other kind, including fried. Right now, I stopped in to tell everyone I am watching a new show called Wonderfalls, and it is an absolute riot!

Right now, telling Not1 that I'm glad she was able to get the test and dx and agreeing that,in perspective, it is good news. Two years ago, my DD was found to have'precancerous cells' there, too. So far she has been fine. Hope you are able to relax a bit about that while waiting for your DH to get news. Has there been any more news about his departure date today?

Wonderfalls is not the type of show i usually watch but i happened into it, and it was really well written and the actors/characters are great..i am glad to see some shows can still say ass, dump, piss and b!tch without million dollar fines I loved when the lion sang "poor b!tch and sharon" sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g...

Hi, Donut! To be honest, I've never seen BB!! So whatever the reference was was lost on me. And right now, sorry for replying so late. I was off wandering around elsewhere. The whole premise (what I understand so far, that is) is a riot! I love the talking and singing inanimate objects! And the writers sure know how to handle dialogue. Those are simply the words we'd all say in those situations. I just happened on it, too--and glad I did.

right now, i thought it was another teacher that had a little PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTT problem, reader! Copied and pasted from the Stupid Things thread. As we're chatting, a parent whom we've all known for years walks by, makes an amusing comment and we laugh. When I laughed, I leaned forward (since I was sitting on the edge of the chair, this wasn't much of an adjustment) to put my elbows on my knees. That ever so slight movement combined with the inner combustions of laughter created the ideal physiologically environment for, well, shall we say, a small air leak. It was the perfect poot.

Right now I am trying to wake up as I browse the board and drink my huge cup of coffee. DH left me a note on the kitchen table and he will be back tonight around 9pm (he forgot to tell me that he received a Gymnastics Judging assignment for today). So here I am, all alone in this huge house with no plans to do anything...just yet. I'm sure after I fully wake up, I'll be on my way out the door to get into some type of trouble...LOL! Have a great day everyone!

right now, i wish i were with eg, heading out to the ocean or something. instead, i have to get back into son's room and make some headway! i feel as if i just got back from san luis...oh, i did!--and i have to go back down for a turn-around trip (400 miles) tuesday afternoon. dh's last final ends at 4:00 p.m., and he does not want to stay even one more night at college. he will probably be taking the bug back for his last quarter, so i won't have to drive him back 10 days later...i'll just have to sit and worry for 3 or 4 hours

Right now we just got home from our first little league game. Everyone won! Our game was at 9:30, perfect day for it! Weather is just gorgeous. After sitting out there for awhile though, it got to be hot!!! Right now I also need to get up and clean the kitchen, wash a few dishes, and mop the floor. I'd rather be sitting here in the den with all the windows open and the door open, a nice breeze blowing through. <Eggie, Mow just called from work to tell me he's stopping by the hardware store to check out some new tools since he's buying himself a rolling toolbox. I figure he won't be home til around 9:30 tonight either! >

Right now, I've had one of the scariest hours of my life--secondhand from learning about a mugging my DD (Lauren) went through last night without being able to talk to her directly yet!! BUT SHE IS OK! I forgot to take my cell phone with me to my hairdresser appt today, and afterwards went to the grocery store. Got home at 2:30 or so this afternoon. Dang phone never beeped once at me, though I had messages. I wasn't til 9:30 pm that I thought to check for messages and saw I had three. Turns out my DD had been trying to call me since 12:30 pm today. She was mugged the night before, but didn't call to tell me til today. She is in Brooklyn and was out late (don't know how late), when 2 blocks from her apt, a crackhead grabbed her from behind, held her neck in the crook of his arm, and put his other hand over her nose and mouth. Luckily, all he wanted was cash ($3 was all she had on her), her ATM card, and her cell phone, all of which she readily gave to him. She somehow made her way home, and notified the police. They drove around but never saw the bum. Today, the cell phone landed in the hands of a woman, who called one of Lauren's friends, who happened to be listed on her phone directory. She left a message to call her on the phone and for a reward, would return the phone that she said she had purchased from some bum. Lauren's roommate is a law school grad, and advised her to tell the police immediately. Lauren went to the precinct at 2:30 pm and the roommate hadn't heard from her since. Everyone in our family had been on pins and needles, scared to death for her. Just found out from Lauren's roommate that Lauren went on a sting operation with the police, meeting up with the woman. The police swept in, captured the woman and the crackhead bum who was in on it, getting Lauren safely out of harm's way and recovering her phone and ATM card!!! Haven't spoken with my Loupup yet. But she is on her way back to her apt via police dropoff, where friends are waiting for her with a bottle of wine. My phone is beside me and I am waiting til she recovers and hope to hear from her very soon. Thank God she is okay!! And thank you, NYC Police!!!

Thanks, Eggie. You do that--call your DD and tell her to go in twos wherever she goes. My Loupup just turned all my newly colored hair back to gray! Guess I'll make my way to the kitchen now, too, for a glass of something!! I am so glad we decided to skip the movies or I still wouldn't know about the phonecalls. Lot of good I did! (I was able to put a block on her ATM as I am on the acct with her. She can unblock it with a phonecall, I understand. Hadn't gotten to thinking what to do about the cell, thank goodness.) Still haven't heard from her yet. Aaaargh.

{{{HUGS}}} HP... I hate not knowing where my DS is... he went south with the lacrosse team,(he promised to call! darn kid!) so I know he's with numbers, he may be naive, but I think he's fine... and having DD is a whole different story!!

Right now I am saying Herck, grab yourself something good to drink! Wow, that is scary. I am so glad that it turned out well for Lauren and she got her things back. That does not happen too often. My dd is a police explorer cadet and I can not sleep until she gets in the door if she is on a ride along.

Hang in there HP, she'll call soon. Remember, even though it feels like you were mugged...it really was her that went through this ordeal and she's probably having some downtime with her friends and that bottle of wine. So go take a sip of whatever you got and here's to you HP *clink*

Thank you so much, Eggie, Reader, Not1, Mamie, Legal and Mocha. You know how emotions grab you AFTER you know someone is okay? Why am I crying now? (Maybe it's the Carbernet's fault.) Still no phonecall. I left a message for her roommate to call when she got in, but not to bother calling me before just to reassure me. (I've bothered that poor girl for 2 straight hours now.) I tried calling Lauren's phone, but got a message that her phone had been stolen (she called her phone from her roommate's phone and was able to do that.) My DH thinks that the police may be holding her phone for a bit. Not sure. Maybe she had to complete some complaint formalities with the police, don't know. You're right, Eggie, but I just want to hear Lauren's voice, other than the horribly shaken one I have in the saved message she left for me at 12:30. I know she's okay, but just need to hear her voice.

I hope you hear soon. I know what you mean, you just need that voice, just need the assurance and she probably is filling out forms..that seems to take forever....You know, she probably needs to hear your voice about now too.
