....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

Good morning!!

I ended up having three job interviews with two different companies on Thursday before my surgery on Friday. Have just heard back that the one wants to see me again tomorrow. The other was a phone interview in early afternoon and then he wanted to see me in person that same afternoon. No other news on that one yet.

Been resting after surgery -- my parents did come down and wouldn't let me do anything. If I'd really thought about it, I should have mentioned that the laundry needed to be done!! I'll have to do small loads.....I am not supposed to lift more than 20 pounds. I live in a three story townhouse and of course, the laundry is on the ground floor.

My parents left yesterday after we went out for breakfast and I had a very lazy day watching / sleeping through a Criminal Minds marathon on A&E.

Taps did a great job of catching up, so I've discarded my multi-quotes and am just dropping in to say:

Good morning!

*kat, i see great value in your grandsons living on your property & it will be a hard adjustment from country living to city living.

hope your son can find something close by - so the current situation remains the same.

*sorry slim :thumbup:

*heartfire, zucchini fries are easy. cut in fry size, dredge them in egg whites & then whole weat flour. you can bake them on a cookie sheet - but i like frying them up in canola.

lots of sea salt after golden brown.

*glad your feeling better suzy & one of the jobs comes through:)!!!

waiting on roofer & electrician today - fun times:), just ready for this to be over - rather the final construction get going - but need these 2 services done first.

***getting impatient***

Lu - Why the roofer? If you renovated upstairs first, then wasn't any roof issue dealt with then? Or am I missing something?

I understand the impatience though...

we have a leak - the chimneys weren't sealed properly, so new flashing has to be put in.

Now I understand!

Did hubby have a nice b-day? Did you get your bloody mary?

bice = nice apparently!

Exactly!! I tried to explain to my nephew that spell check requires that you know how to spell, otherwise how do you know which word is the correct one.

Yeah, but if they're using a Word document, it underlines it for them. :mad:

Don't live your life with "I wish I had...". If you want something, go for it.

Yeah, I keep thinking that too. :sad:

~Beth, I agree with the salt AND muscle recovery theories. Soy sauce is basically just salt with enough dark colored water just to make it liquid!

(I know Heartfire said this but I don't multi-quote! lol) I keep trying to tell myself that, then I get on the scale this morning and still no budge.

But, okay, as I think about it... I had some tom kha gai this weekend (Thai soup) and they use a "fish sauce" in it as a seasoning that I bet is very high in sodium as well. So... to be fair, I've probably had a lot of high-sodium stuff this weekend (some without knowing how much [steak and chicken]). I'm supposed to go in for a fill eval (won't need a fill) on Thursday, but I'm considering rescheduling -- partly because I have a lot to do, but also partly because the weigh-in won't show what I've really done.

Wondering if I can be a forensic scientist without taking science. Hmmm....

Okay, must..... tear...... self............ away.................. (screechy nail sounds as reading tears Beth away)

Now I understand!

nice day - no bloody, but ate inappropriately & it was awesome.

love the edit comments!

ok - that time of yr, TX state fair & their "fried food" competition.

just had the morning news program on & the winner is ... get this:

fried butter, covered in powdered sugar & honey.

DH and i go every yr, i will be taking pics & posting - not sure i will take the dive though..:mad:

So Lu, I checked the online local paper - all the entries were (in my opinion) disgusting stuff! Ick ick and double deep fried ick!!!

Hey all:

Waiting to board my plane to go back home - had a great trip!

Not ready to get back to the grind - but oh well!

Everyone have a great day!

So Lu, I checked the online local paper - all the entries were (in my opinion) disgusting stuff! Ick ick and double deep fried ick!!!

i like to try all foods - the chocolate covered bacon last yr wasn't too bad.

but the butter & fried coke, fried twinkie - kinda gross i will admit.

my small addiction is the jalapeno poppers. fried & stuff w/cheese...mmmmmmm,

kc - safe trip back home!

Oh, I love all the fried sweet stuff. But, butter...??!!?? How do they do that?

Didn't try choc bacon - but wanted to. The twinkie and oreos were good. (I hate twinkies normally, but liked it fried.) Didn't like fried Snickers, though.

1/2 my mouth is full of sweet teeth, the other side likes the salty munchies.

One of favorite snacks is chocolate covered potato chips.

Quoting a news link:

The winner decided to wrap seasoned butter in a dough and fry it. "Fire, butter, there you go," he said. His delicacy — which comes in regular butter, garlic, grape and cherry — picked up the title of Most Creative food Monday in the fifth annual Big Tex Choice Awards.

This year, Fernie’s Deep Fried Peaches and Cream walked away with the Best-Tasting trophy.

The desert is made by deep frying peaches dipped in a batter that includes cinnamon, ginger and coconut, then drizzling raspberry sauce on top and adding vanilla butter cream icing on the side for dipping.

The other finalists: Texas Fried Pecan Pie; and Fried Peanut Butter Cup Macaroon.

Past winners: fried banana split and fried cookie dough.

Not Gonzales’ first win: He has also won Best-Tasting titles for fried peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwich, Most Creative for fried coke and Best-Tasting for Texas fried cookie dough.
