I've tried to imagine what vegemite must taste like and it eludes me. It sounds ghastly. Not to cast aspersions on a national treasure, granny :D
12:31 am
hokie carla
Well done, finishers. Still 5 here. But it’s 1:30am so I am probably too sleepy.
12:31 am
ursh
is vegemite the same as our marmite which is vegetable extracts
12:31 am
hokie carla
Yeah, I’ll pass on vegemite
12:31 am
grannyrose
ori, it is an acquired taste. just about every aussie kid since forever has grown up with it. quite salty. DO NOT spread like Nutella. lightly does it.
12:32 am
joym999
love those fireworks!
12:32 am

ursh, vegemite is stronger than marmite. we have both over here.

when you had two rounds of saladas sandwiched together, and squeexed it, little brown and yellow worms came out though the holes in the crackers.

hokie carla
But she just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
12:36 am
hokie carla
Ha, used to do that with peanut butter and saltines

12:36 am

Don't ever watch Stephen King's Storm of The Century. It will ruin the teapot song for you permanently.
7:10 am
BzznBea
Is that a spooky King?
7:10 am
MollyL
Yeah, it's pretty spooky
7:11 am
BzznBea
I don't read spooky King.
7:12 am
MollyL
So you have only read Rita Hayworth & The Shawshank Redemption
7:12 am
BzznBea
I did read 1964 because Mr. Bea read it and said it wasn't scary.
7:13 am
MollyL
Oh, I forgot about 11/22/63
7:13 am
BzznBea
Yes, that one.
7:13 am
MollyL
That was good. The TV adaption wasn't bad either.
7:14 am
MollyL
The Body...better known as Stand By Me isn't spooky either and some of King's better writing.
7:17 am
BzznBea
I don't know why I have an aversion for scary stuff. I read Dean Koontz and he gets pretty out there.

haha totally valid point hursh. I actually chose Mother Teresa because I had heard of the negative events
8:25 am
hokie carla
I'm not sure anyone will ever confuse MT for RL though
8:25 am
jmcnrick
if even a saint can bring negativity . . . I am no saint
8:25 am
hurshy
no, clearly not
8:25 am
hurshy
but i was recommending Fred Rogers as a negativity-free figure
8:25 am
jmcnrick
Hursh rightly suggested Fred Rogers
8:26 am
hurshy
now we are being redundant
8:26 am
mael
I'd go with Bob Ross
8:26 am
jmcnrick
I often quote him--Look for the helpers. It makes me feel better to do that
8:27 am
hurshy
i got myself a Fred Rogers page-a-day quote calendar this year
8:27 am
hokie carla
have you seen that pic of him giving the odd double bird? funny and just weird.
8:27 am
jmcnrick
Bob Ross is another good option
8:27 am
hurshy
today's is SO (unfortunately) applicable to me
8:27 am
jmcnrick
oh how wonderful hursh. I wonder if there is a store in Ireland that would deliver it to my boy
8:27 am
hurshy
hokie, the context is that he was singing "where is thumbkin?" where you go through each finger in a verse, to the tune of frere jacques
8:27 am
jmcnrick
go on hursh
8:28 am
mael
alright, I give up. I guess the st5/16 is my last word and I've gone blind. Anyone have a clue?
8:28 am
HarryHood
mael there is no st5/16
8:28 am
hurshy
today's quote is, "we all need to learn that life is a mixture of what is and is not possible. if we grow up fearing mistakes, we may become afraid to try new things."
8:29 am
hokie carla
our smart tv has a Bob Ross channel that I watch every so often. I read that he was so quiet because in his military life he was a drill sergeant and was done with the yelling.
8:29 am
mael
oh, that explains it haha
8:29 am
mael
I'm missing an s5 then
