Morning Dave, That sounds miserable ! Hope your pages are ok. I have never heard of Shiraz. Hope you get to feeling better soon ! Glenda

Dear Marged, This is interesting. I notice it costs a fortune to exchange money with the UK. A friend of mine was going to mail me a birthday gift and I was shocked to find out how much problems one runs into with money exchange - he cost was terrible.

We also use the cut up meat...we call it stew meat; this is usually made with the chuck roast cut. When I use cut up meat I will put it all together after browning the stew meat. With the roast I will put the vegetables on top, and use a pressure cooker to cook them... If the roast is on the large side, I cook the meat for a certain time, then add the veggies and finish cooking them all together. The savory smells draw my husband quickly into the kitchen. This is his favorite meal, I think. Making me hungry ! Glenda

Dear Marged, It is 5:05 am here in the state of Indiana. We like the orange peko tea; many like the herbal teas...and I think only the English drink it with milk :| I don't know as I have ever heard of a fruit tea. Must learn to drink tea, again. I love iced tea. Glenda >Sorry Glenda and all - just sent a blank by accident! > >Glenda - what on earth time is it in your part of the world?

Poor dogs ! They do love to eat the dogs...many will say that is their favorite of all meat. :( Glenda

Dear Dave, So would you consider your 3 pm tea, snack time ? and the 6 pm as dinner/supper time ? Glenda

Dear All, I have so much trouble with the exchange rate. First it was pounds and then I found I definitly had Irish relatives and now there is the exchange rate there. I believe that Wales and England are the same; am I right in this ? How about Scotland ? Glenda

Dear Dave, How come your head hurts ? Glenda

Dear Marged, Would love to receive the recipe. I am thinking it must be our pot roast: roast (usually a blade or chuck roast), potatoes, onions, carrots all simmering together until fork tender. Of course we brown, or fry, the roast on each side and use either flour or not, depending on how one wants it. Season with garlic, salt, pepper and whatever one feels like putting into it at the time. Making me hungry ! Glenda

Dear Marged, Maggie an Upstart!!! Remove the "ups" and you have her:-)) Ram dressed up as Lap top Poodle. What did yer fink abawt Denis the Scaffolding Gangster? Rum doo for the country that pair were, now we are paying for having em, through, BT, Water, Council Tax, Banks, Quango's and, and, and, .......... Bloody son couldnt find his own way out of a WC. Funny how he got the big back hander from SA for the arms deal eh? Maggie, corrupt as they can come. Wedgie, love listening to him. But if he had had his way the Middle East would have ended as an A Bomb scenario. Admire & respect the man but I dont share his basic views. Regards, Mikey.

Dear Marged, I thought all the English ate cakes (cookies - something new I had learned) or something else; never thought they just had tea alone. What kind of tea do you use ? Glenda

Dear Marged, No wonder I don't know the song. We have a Kalamazoo, Michigan in the north. Don't think I have ever been there. Hadn't heard of the stationary company by that name.

Does anyone in the UK eat beef anymore ? I have had more people tell me they don't eat beef over there !

Dear Bryan, Did I call you Byron again ? I am so sorry...I am always having to change it ! I don't know why it is that have these difficulties with it; there is only one other person I knew with that name and he lived about 1,200 miles away and I hadn't seen him since I was young. Best Wishes, Glenda

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20." "Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value: dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don't ever forget it. Count your Blessings, not your problems."

Dear Everyone, How many times a day, and at what time, does teatime take place in the UK ? What does one usually have during teatime besides the tea ? Curious, Glenda
