Time for me to head out. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Beldin I don't think I do, that's something I can do tomorrow, watch mysoju. It will probably be better viewing on my laptop anyways.

Christopher Marlowe - Yeah, I have trouble with Fb, too. That doesn't sound like a great movie but it does sound like an interesting one. It made me think of the finale of Galileo only it was a bomb. Did you ever watch it on MySoju?

Leather Jacket - Nice. But SweePer's shindigs are the only ones I've been to, and not all of them, so I only have four.

lostinamerica : SJBW+10 is July 17 to 19. I hope you can come. Nobody'll bite ... unless you want them to. *g*
I would treat all of the people going to SJBW(+10) like family whether I knew them or not, but my family doesn't really hug.

Beldin, SweePer : I still have every name tag I've gotten from every gathering ... that had name tags, but they're in boxes somewhere. Moving a couple times will do that to you.

Desperate Plea For Help : Does anyone know anything about Sell-Your-House-And-Rent-It-Back schemes and how to find a reputable one?

Anne : Very nice limerick, and Christopher Marlowe actually did a fine one herself a few weeks ago. (Unfortunately, I don't save them for future reference or embarrassment.)

Ojagwers : Nah, not good enough. I meant that whoever made Class of Nuke 'Em High II should have been forced to watch the original Class of Nuke 'Em High over and over again, as punishment for making a sequel.

Mrs.Beasley : I would risk copyright infringement and call it "Strawberry Fields".

In this psychological thriller, four mathematicians are invited by a mysterious host on the pretext of solving the greatest enigma. They soon find themselves trapped in a room, and begin receiving strange mathematical riddles. Riddles they have only one minute to solve. When the minute goes by, and the problem remains, the walls move inward. The only way out is to solve the puzzles before they are crushed to death.

Summary of Fermat's Room.

Beldin I really hate to deal with facebook sometimes. It takes ages just to click from one thing to the next there.

Christopher Marlowe, Octoquad-Thanks. Total shot in the dark. *g*

Beldin-I know..me and SweePer back to back. Planets must be aligned funky.*g*

SweePer- Im still in the Maybe column. But I am in the I really, really want to come column, too. Well see.

Mrs. Beasley-Sounds like a good cake recipe.

COMMA: Oh, now you tell me! *G*
Don't think we have *spoken* before, so hello there.


Just back from another walk in the dark. The cat, Dot, dragged in a bird but I'm not that hungry now, heh.

Love you all,

Beldin Yes. The baseball game was best part of the movie! I had heard positive comments about it and definitely wanted to get that far in the dvd.

I've stopped the movie at the start of the prom scene. I felt I had seen enough of it.

Christopher Marlowe - Have you gotten to the baseball game? It's the best part of the movie.

Beldin Teen angst can only go so far. I'm getting bored now. *g*

Beldin That's not a bad way of describing it. It is overwrought and melodramatic at times, but hardly shocking thing for movie focusing on teens.

Christopher Marlowe - If you're talking about the movie, I watched it a couple of weeks ago. It was okay for a teen make-out movie. Not bad but not a lot of depth.

I'm watching twilight and it isn't has horrific as I was expecting. Not that it is good mind you. *g*

wolfguard That is what this book attempts to address. To help non-scientists makes sense of all the scientific and pseudoscientific claims.

Christopher Marlowe,

It's in saying, some aspect of science is 'just a theory' that they begin to show their ignorance. 'Theory' in science does not carry the same meaning as 'theory' in everyday life.


ETA A layperson uses theory to describe that which a scientists would call a hypothesis. More or less. *g*


WG

valMichael Yeah, folks who say that evolution is 'just a theory' wouldn't bother with anything that was contrary to that view.

Christopher Marlowe Unfortunately, the people the need to read the book, are the very ones that would refuse to.

Beldin I decided to bite the bullet and watch one of my ballet dvds. Of course, it's a documentary about a couple of male ballet dancers. So least I have eye candy to look at. *g*

Algerina Brilliant! Since I pre-cut it to take it it has the lines of a patchwork quilt, plus, of course, the place where strawberries grow is a strawberry patch. It's much cuter and far less grim than Wake Cake. ;-)

Christopher Marlowe - Today I got one of Cynthia Rothrock's martial arts flicks – Sworn To Justice.

Mrs.Beasley - Algerina picked a good one.

Comma LOL! How did it go today?

Algerina I like that name better than Take Cake.

TICK WARNING!



I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it

myself a couple times unintentionally but this one is real, and it's

important.



Please send this warning to everyone on your e- mail list.



If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks

due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance

around with your arms up,



DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!!

They only want to see you naked

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

Mrs.Beasley I usually dont' like icing, because of the grainy texture with some of them.

Beldin Swung by the local Blockbusters and got two movies: Twilight and Fermat's Room. One has vampires the other has math. *g*

Christopher Marlowe "Take Cake" might do. ;-) The boiled icing used to be made by my neighbor, Sally Pleasant who was originally from West Virginia. I don't know if it was regional or had a period of popularity in the mid to late 1950's or what. I had a nostalgic craving for it around Christmas and went Googling for the recipe. I had been pairing it with chocolate cake. It ends up having the look and taste of whipped cream. The mouth feel is only slightly thicker than whipped cream, but it doesn't melt any faster than an ordinary icing and it doesn't separate like real whipped cream.

werewolf123,

Elaborate?

WG

Beldin I was a bit unsure about the pineapple myself, but it was quite good.

Book Friday is Just a Theory: Explaining the Nature of Science. It is very good so far.

Mrs.Beasley All I can think of at the moment is The Take Cake. A cake you take to whatever. I don't think I've run across boiled icing before.

About 6 weeks ago I made an experimental cake to take to a wake. I think of it as "The Wake Cake" I am making it again to take to a Fourth of July picnic. It needs a new name. Suggestions welcome.

Wake Cake

1 yellow cake mix baked in a 9 x 13 pan
1 can Solo strawberry cake and pastry filling (Marc's)
1 recipe of boiled icing
24 medium straweberries

Directions:
Remove from pan and cut the layer in half using a fancy Wlton tool or a long piece of dental floss.
Wash and dry the pan
Place the bottom of the cake back in the pan
Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the cake layer
Place the top of the cake on top of the filling
Make the boiled icing
Spread the boiled icing on top of the cake
Cut the cake in 4 pieces long way and 6 pieces shortway for 24 cupcake size pieces
Cut the 24 medium strayberries in half and arrange the pieces \/ /\ on top of each slice

Boiled icing

1 cup milk
4 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Mix flour and milk over medium heat until it forms a paste. Let cool. Mix butter and sugar together then beat in cooled flour and milk mixture. This will take 10 minutes, at least, until no sugar granules can be felt between fingers. Add vanilla.

wolfguard: Case Geld not jews, african americans. Would have been a piece of cake. I don't think people know how close we came to the unthinkable during WWII.

Christopher Marlowe - Hope you enjoyed it. You lost me at the pineapple.

Book Friday:

The Wastelands, Dark Tower no. III, by Stephen King

SweePer I know I'll be in good hands with OldManFan, they are very nice hands if I remember. *g*

Beldin Met my friends, had a Malibu Mocha (white chocolate, pinapple and coconum flavors), passed along some info and got some info in return.

lostinamerica - It is July 17 - 19. SweePer posted a link to the information page down below.

Lostinamerica,

When Hitler became chancellor in 1933, the population of Germany was a little under 70 million people. Set aside 50% as being too young or old to have a voice, and we have 35 million people. Say only 5% of these folks were politically active, that gives us around 7 ~1.7 million people.

One man tells ~ two million others, this is what I want you to do - now do it.


Imagine a bizarro-FDR upon entering office in 1933, ordering the deaths of all Jews. Would it have happened?


ETA correction on math

Hi, CM: What I'm up to is recovering from a rare late night/early morning 'walkabout'. It was worth it, as I saw many interesting things. Well, I'm pretty sure I saw them... *G*

In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
And you only got ten

Leather Jacket's Limericks

There once was a man named Abdul
Who kept his pet shark in his pool.
He went swimming one night
And the shark gave him a big bite.
Abdul was something of a fool.

SweePer--Yes, it's not that people at their high school reunions mean for their spouses who didn't attend that same school to feel somewhat excluded. When you see people you haven't seen in awhile, first you find out what everyone is doing currently. Then you move on to reliving old times. It's not a bad thing, it's just what happens--I've been to several of my husband's fraternity gatherings and it happens every time.

I'm glad to see you're making everyone feel welcome!

cc Christopher Marlowe, Leather Jacket


Leather Jacket--Oh, I would feel comfortable around people I've been talking to on the board. But I've only been on regularly, what, four or five years, I can't remember, and I wasn't sure how many people going to the event were regular posters on the old board.

When is it, this weekend?


wolfguard--I don't believe Hitler did what he did in response to what was happening in Germany at that time. You have to be a special kind of crazy to think that killing 6 million people is a perfectly reasonable solution to what you perceive to be your country's problems.

As for Ahmadinejad, I don't have a problem with leaders being nationalists--I would expect them to be. I have a problem with leaders who are nationalists and want to wipe their enemies off the face of the Earth. Men such as this are very dangerous to the rest of us, because who knows when we would become the enemy?

Ojagwers,

I say, it's unsporting to delay responding for a fortnight for it disadvantages my memory of the dispute. *g*

WG

Beldin Thanks! Yeah, bring them (the tags and the book). I have a bunch of seniorslayer's books and the "Vampire People" book. We'll put them all in the center of one of the tables. Good conversation starter (or conversation avoider if someone decides to read the whole thing)! *g* Oh wait, you're talking about the video. duh. Yeah, bring it! It might be good to watch after dinner Friday in Mrs.Beasley's room.

Octoquad: Thanks for the e! Sorry you won't be able to make it. What was the problem with facebook? Not knowing my real name could be a problem. Was that it? *g* I'll send you a reply in a bit. I'm supposed to be "napping" with the kids.

Christopher Marlowe: If there's ANYTHING I can do to help you feel more at ease just let me know! Having OldManFan pick you up at the airport is a GREAT start. You'll be in good hands! And would you believe this will be his first SJBW too? He's been to lots of our trips and "away" things... But I think the only time he's been at the house is when we had a big party soon after our daughter was born. So you're not the only noob. *snerk*

Dead Cow Coat: Thanks so much for the e. Can't wait to see you! HUGS!

Anne: What's the word? How you leaning? My fingers are still crossed!

Algerina, my entry has arrived to you... or should have.

Governor Palin resigns

Beldin I thought it looked interestign too, but I was too tired to watch it. I try to keep an eye out for stuff like when when I raom the net.

It's rather cool today. There is some drizzling outside. I will be meeting a friend to give her the memory stick I got from the Green Cities conference and then almost right after that I hope to get some flyers from a friend managing an event in August. At least I won't be chatting extensively with either friend. I check in and then check out! *g*

Christopher Marlowe - Thanks! Netflix has it and the description and reviews look good. I added it to the queue.

Octoquad What are you up to today? I'm trying to straighten out my place, which is something of a challenge!

YaY! Anne! yAy!

Happy Birthday to all Celebrants!

SweePer: You have mail, m'dear.

Anne: Good limerick.

Beldin I was watching tv real late at night and spotted a movie called Cello, a South Korean ghost story. I didn't watch much of it, but just noted it so I could mention it to you.
