Well, I have a 65″ widescreen HDTV and I was going to invite all of you over for the game but I guess I can’t do it now. Seems the NFL doesn’t want folks having SuperBowl watch parties where the TV screens are larger than 55 inches, unless, of course, you happen to have a sports bar.

We grow milk
I only grow enough so I don’t have to buy them in the summer. I don’t put any up. The problem with large gardens is finding time to take care of them so you harvest more than just weeds. I’m usually pretty busy and Republitarian does NOT garden though the girls are becoming more helpful and they love being able to pick a snack anytime they want. The sugar snap peas that escaped the bugs were a big hit last year.
Posted by whackette | Friday, February 2, 2007, 4:31 pmI knew you grew milk
but even so, I figured you had a garden. Heck, I grew up in the city and we had a garden every year: tomatoes, green beans, corn, collards, yellow squash. One year, we had watermelon! And when I was small, we had chickens and turkeys.

Both of you – When I was a kid, we grew strawberries, which we are adding to the garden this year. Next year, asparagus. Since I am supposedly retired (like I noticed) I have time to fill the gaps in the garden. Of course, I work the kids like rented mules in the summertime
OT – Vivian, do you know how to get hold of MB? I tried sending him an email earlier and it said it was all full. Appreciate it.

And Mark – check your email.
Posted by vjp | Friday, February 2, 2007, 5:24 pmMmmmmm…strawberries. I have three kinds of raspberries and when I’m feeling very adventurous I brave the poison ivy to pick the blackberries that grow wild on the edge of the woods.
I also once had a chicken, but it met with an untimely death. One minute it was watching the men repair the chopper the next… well…there was nothing but feathers floating through the air.
Posted by whackette | Friday, February 2, 2007, 5:35 pmWow, we really stretched this thread out…….
Thanks Vivian!

Posted by whackette | Friday, February 2, 2007, 6:58 pmmosquito does his part, as usual, to suck the funny and the lightness of every post here once again.
Seriously, mosquito, do you have ANY sense of humor? Is EVERYTHING serious and political for you? Are you that bitter at life?
Ugh. You are sad.
