Mary Clyde, I'm here and I did put a couple of posts in but they didn't seem to go anywhere. I can't see well so no doubt I must have hit the wrong key. I do that often. I have a hard time keeping up with the news as I don't hear well, either. The fast and garbled delivery by some of the newscasters simply escapes me so I can't keep up with what is going on. One of the problems of old age. I'm sorry your garden isn't doing well. This time of year is great for gardens if they have the proper water,etc. Too much water in some places and not near enough in others.

Hello, Many things in this Las Vegas Valley area are way overpriced, especially the homes,condos, etc. The developers have a problem in supplyin g gas, power and especially water to the folks. They should not allow any more homes to be built until they can solve the water problem. Our home would be valued at about $65,000 to $75,000 in normal times, say the 1960's but it is in the much overvalued bracket of the $250,000 and more. We did lots of upgrades on appliances, carpet,electrical wiring, cable, plumbling fixtures, etc. Gas log fireplace,automatic irrigation system which is worth the cost. As for cost of groceries, etc. everything has to be trucked in so one can expect to pay more for food, supplies, etc. We have been able to cover everything so far but I don't know what may happen if things continue to rise. One thinks they are in good shape with Social Security, pension, savings and good health Insurance, then the costs go up and up and up. I no longer drive so I don't have the cost of the upkeep of a vehicle. I probably won't be around much longer but I am concerned about my daughter being able to keep things going. I have insurance but that will go just so far. The only sure way to stop the rise in price of an article is for enouh people would stop buying it and NO SALES soon gets the atention of the merchants and distributors Best to you all. Belle

I don't think I've seen anybody on here for several days... Is everybody out in the garden or gone on vacation? My garden is producing a few green beans and some squash... but that's all. We don't seem to have any bees!!! I just simply cannot pollinate those blossoms with a paintbrush! Lol... I'll probably end up buying vegetables from the farmer's market if I plan to can any and I sure would like to can as many as I can get... We're still in a severe drought and can't water! Are any of you in the flood areas down the middle of our country? What about the fires in California? What is this world coming to? MaryClyde

I think someone's are going to be in a heap of BIG trouble come this weekend. We could hit 100 on Sunday. That is waaaaay too hot for me and especially up here in the cool (? northwest. You're suppose to keep your hot weather down south where it's suppose to be hot. You may have to come pick up this shriveled up body of mine after the weekend.

Guess we'll have to meet at your place...my okra hasn't even bloomed yet...but is getting close....It's beautiful..red stalks and reddish tinged leaves...Having green beans for dinner, new peas and potatoes....fried squash....All from our garden ...all delicious ! Might make some cracklin cornbread......fattening or not....Iced tea's cooling in the fridge already........ Little white multiplying onions I set out last Fall are about ready to dig..Will spread them out in some of those tiered hanging wire baskets I lucked onto at a yard sale...and then put them in mesh onion bags I've been saving.....Will plant something in the onions place...more beans , maybe...Half runners, maybe Rattlesnakes....An elderly neighbor gave us 3 more big heavy duty tomato cages....The pintos we planted as a lark look like they're gonna be pole beans...anyone know ? They're at the base of the bean fence, so no problem....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ On Fri, 13 Jun 2008 01:30:51 -0400 "Carol Hall" <lola5341@setel.com> writes: > Jennie Thanks ! > that is very nice of you... > you just come on over any time you want... > Well make some corn bread flitters, fried okra and deepfried crawdad > tails > with horse radish mustard to dip in.. > Love Carol ion Ky. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <askgranny@juno.com> > To: <southern-chat@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 10:23 PM > Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Chiggers...and Snakes and coal oil > > > > As always I loved reading your letter....You can't write to often > to suit > > me !

I've heard so many times of parents...mostly Mothers... that just don't like certain of their children...My own Mother butted heads with her oldest daughter and also her youngest . Older Sis was born with an attitude and died with it very much intact...I was always trying to die so it stands to reason Mom would dislike me, being so much trouble, but she and I got along fine.......I was clearly Daddy's favorite, maybe because he had to help Mama take care of me so much the winter I was 2 /3 and almost died from double pneumonia...after almost dying from colitis the summer before....He farmed, and winters were slow times..I was tiny, cute as a button, loved men, and was clearly Daddy's girl..Sis was belligerent, plump and healthy looking, etc. so got little attention.... Oldest brother Robert was a bookish, shy sort...beneath Daddy's rough as a cob respect...Mamas boy.. Upon talking with a woman who didn't like one of her daughter, I learned that she had the kids so close together and was in such poor health that she resented the child....knowing all the time it wasn't the kids fault....Have you ever tried to figure out your Mom's problem ? I firmly believe in re incarnation, and sometimes women have kids that are descended from an enemy in another life....Haven't you ever met someone that rubbed you the wrong way instantly...or someone you instantly liked ? Sometimes if parents are frustrated in their everyday life they take it out on the kids....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ On Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:52:59 -0400 "Mary R Mungo" <MRMungo@Comporium.net> writes: Daddy's been gone for 55 years and I still miss him so much.

The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath, but along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears . >From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.. When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms. Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. >From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds . When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner. It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes. Send this to those who would know, and love the story about Grandma's aprons. REMEMBER: Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool -Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw. They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs was on that apron. I don't think I ever caught anything from a Apron.   We live in the land of the Free because of the Brave !   This reminds me of my grandmother.   "Granny."    I just love this..... brings back memories.....   ________________________________   I don't think our kids know what an apron is.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy, The Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 300 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ. If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
