Yup, & I recall resaing Chaucer the fist time & laughing as I'd parsed, out 
of Middle English, that she sent him off with a "kiss my arse" whebn he
exclaimed, "I didst not note she had ever before had a beard!" (after she
hanged her arse out the window in respionse to his request for a good-bye
kiss!

Nah, if I don't like the truth it says, I can only get upset at myself, & I
can't be botheredto do so. . .

I agree; that was a funny line, indeed!

crepes? I make pancakes from scratch (been doing so since ahe 14) & I 
separate the eggs & beat the whotes separately, then fold them int to the 
rest of the better -- makes 1" thick fluffy pancakes to die for! I slap on a
coat of butter the second they come off the griddle, then douse in real maple
syrup(when I have some) just before eating. . . yum!

Best I had was at a friend's German family reunion at a north prairie farm --
real German potato pancakes, & you put your choice(s) of peanut butter,
cheddar cheese slices, or applesauce(lumpy home-made) on top -- ooo, baby!
Carved up with 4 truly organic free-range eggs & the thickest bacon you ever
had, all cooked to perfection!

Seconds, & thirds(hey, I was 16 & had the metabolism of a 300lb tiger) of 
all.

That was one I really liked, too, as I got it without knowing about ham
insider stuff. . . (I know the old telegraph hams were all about the dit-dit-
dah-dah all the livelong day. . .)

What's "7-3"?


So I bought a telegraph machine. And then I bought a second telegraph 
machine.
Now I'm feeling some reMorse.

While feeding some ducks with kids, more ducks turn up.
Me "there's loads coming, they must have sent a telegraph"

Dad friend "they're birds, they tweeted it"
