That's just freaking excellent, Biker, about the Nielsen Ratings thing.
I don't own or watch television. Friends got their tube going 24/7, and it's just trash. Then they wonder why I just ignore almost every "opinion" that they utter. They just don't get it that they are parroting what they heard on TV without doing any checking (or thinking!)

Hey. I wonder if the government is going to make TV mandatory, for receiving propoganda...since almost none of those bozos would be elected if not for television.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS AWESOME AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

do you know how to check to see if your spaghetti noodles are done??
throw one at the wall if it sticks , its done!!
I showed my five year old this ,he thought it was hilarious

I had the same laugh, when my mom told me that was the way to determine "noodle readiness"

Now...use a porous wall, or wood...and it won't stick at the same time as it sticks to linoleum or other smooth stuff.

the ceiling is always fun to

Hi ((((((((Mirror)))))))

Hi mirror.

Dear D, its 10:00 already. I gotta lotta stuff done. Don't know how much more I will get done. The limosine hamburger is browning with sage, garlic, onions, ground jalepenos, savory, and basil. Using bud light to keep it from burning. Gonna make shell noodles and a red sauce. Creamin the double boiler now. And I'm having a hot toddie. I was getting cold cuz I haven't eaten all day. I'm warm now.

Dear D, I added mustard and dried minced tomato to the meat. Sauce is going strong. I didn't realize soda crackers can get old. They stink when they get old. I had 3 pounds of old soda crackers. I went out and covered the snowbank with crackers to feed my wintering starlings, swallows, robins, morning doves, and sparrows. They will thank me with morning singing on my 4 season porch overlooking the beautiful chippewa river.

...yeah I can't watch tv scoundrel. Makes me insane. I did watch some barrett jackson auction live this early afternoon with my 17 month old godson wyatt. After explaining how the auction works to him he ran off and brought me toy cars to play with.

Oh my! It smells good in here. I'm so starving that I'm nibbling. Its spicy. But not too hot. I had a freind that was supposed to join me for dinner. She backed out. Then called and said shed think about it. Then called and cancelled. I'm like- can you make up your mind? Ugh.

Ok diary, with the meat half browned I added 3 ounces of shredded pork, and 3 napa valley cherry peppers minced, seeds and all. And the rest of the bud light to keep it browning slowly. Just added the ricotta cheese and powdered garlic to the private stock cheddar sauce. Oh its tasting good.

Believe it or not...Barrett Jackson is going, in the background...it's what my friend has watched all day long.
The first thunderbird was auctioned off. That was the only thing that I stepped in there to look at.

Toy cars, huh? Cool kid. "You like cars?? I gots cars!!"

And in goes one egg and oregeno into the private stock cheddar sauce. I would add my favorite cinderella gryere cheese but its so strong (like limburger) that I would destroy the flavor. And some extra virgin olive oil and wheat flour into the sauce to thin it instead of thickening it. The tomato sauce base is shining through on the cheese sauce. Darn I'm hungry.

Man, that's way more work than I put into good meatloaf.

Well...I thought that it was good.

A pinch of marjoram in the sauce. And a pinch of cilantro into the meat. And 2 cups of milk into the sauce. Stirring both. Close to finished.

Biker I am hungry!!!! Do I have time to get their before it's done????

Biker just ain't going to share!!!

....he likes cars and bikes. Honestly he's the smartest 17 month old child I've met. He gives big hugs. How much did the first T bird take? Noones got money. The cars are going for a song. Did you see that green twin screw pickup truck and matching boat and trailer go for a hundred grand? That blown twin big block boat was 255,000 dollars new alone! Wish I had some money. We watched one of my freinds cars get sold. The hemi road runner.

Oh, yeah. I heard Jim saying how things were going way under value.
The T-Bird went for 600,000.
Last year, I think it would have cleared nearly $1M...that's how things were.
