What to Talk About???

[Tiramisu]

There's the weather, doggies, cost of gas, cost of electricity, cost of groceries, helping each other, etc. And, there's always our kids to talk about. What's wrong with talking about our jobs? Just talk!

I don't get your post Marilyn. We can talk about anything here except politics so what is the big deal? I would think the ladies feelings here would come first over your political beliefs.

I'm personnally glad it's against the rules because every time something political comes up you try to shove your opinions down some of our throats and I think everyone should be able to have their own opinion. Since feelings get hurt here because we're made to feel we are wrong if we don't agree then those types of topics should be avoided. Simple logic really.

Guess it's time to start using the block feature again.

So are you blocking me, Janet??? and I really and truly thought that you were and are a dear friend. You're making me cry. Is that what you are trying to do????? I'm shaking now, so I guess I'll go.

I really love this forum and don't feel that I've shoved anything down anyone's throat.

We're friends.......or that is what I thought.

Peace to all!!!!!

Ladies, Ladies!!!!! We ARE friends and we can get along. I don't know what to say to help this situation.

Marilyn, Please don't leave our forum. We do value your friendship and your opinions.


All I know to do is to pray for this situation.....

Lord, we come before you in praise and thanksgiving for this day that you've given us. We thank you for this forum where we've been able to make new friends and expand our knowledge of our wonderful nation. You know that we've just had our election and that feelings are still running strong. I ask that you'd bless and impart wisdom to our new president elect, Barack Obama. I ask that your presence would be near him, guiding him all of his days as he makes decisions for our wonderful nation.

Lord, I also ask that you help to heal this rift that has arisen on our forum. I ask for peace and love for each of us that are on here. Help us to say words to build each other up and not to look for things to cause contention between us. Help each of us to have a closer walk with you and live our lives according to what you would have us to be. In your precious name I pray.....Amen

I must have missed something in absence, I am really sorry to see you both at odds. It's really not any of my business, but I just wanted to let you know I think you are both great

I don't know, maybe we can talk about what we are cooking for dinner tonight? In our house it will be braised potatoes, garlic and herb chicken, carrots and a side salad.

Other than that, wedding plans coming are along quickly and surprisingly smooth. (give or take a family member or twos issues You know what they say, you can't please everyone!)
My mother is supposed to be scheduling a cake tasting, she offered to buy the cake. Also have to meet up with our DJ to get things going...
On my birthday, the 21st we go for our engagement photo shoot.

Marilyn, please take a day or two to think about it, you would be missed!

I must be missing something also. I have never had to block anyone, never had any rude conversations. Stay with us Marilyn, please.

Pope - I love your post!!!

We are having leftover pinto beans, I'll make some cornbread and maybe even some decadent fried potatoes (my husband's absolute favorite forbidden food!).

After supper we'll smoke some vegetables (peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, onion & garlic) to make salsa. MMMMMM... there's nothing like fresh smoked salsa! I had to buy some fat free tortilla chips, otherwise I'd eat a whole bag full of chips with this salsa. Of course, I have regular chips and may have to put an alarm on them that goes off when I (only me) opens the bag! LOL!

Then we'll give the pups a bath - they must smell sweet for our company coming tomorrow.

I also need to water the flowers and new grass we put in.

It will be a busy evening, for sure!!!
