3:45 am

May I ask a British food related question?

3:45 am

Sally-catlover

Quite a few British on here atm, so fire away!

3:46 am

elder

Would have like a bigger grid today. How are you all ?.

3:46 am

elder

'liked'

3:46 am

metaleather

tyvm. I know rusks are a component of sausages, but what precisely is a rusk?

3:47 am

metaleather

I agree elder, bigger would have been nice although this one is still tripping me up. I have two to words left and I think I may quit there

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

Depnds on the sausage. Our local ones don't have rusk in. Rusks are a kind of biscuit, used to be fed to babies (maybe still?) because they mashed up nicely in milk.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. metal - rusks are just a form of cereal.

3:49 am

metaleather

good morning Haz. ty for that answer.

3:49 am

metaleather

you too Sally

3:49 am

FMitch

–noun 1. a slice of sweet raised bread dried and baked again in the oven; zwieback.
2. light, soft, sweetened biscuit.

Morning all

Good morning FM.

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo FM

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

And Hallo Haz

3:50 am

Haz1558

In the sausage context, rusk would be used to bulk out the meat content, so that better quality sausages would have less rusk than an inferior one.

3:50 am

FMitch

Hello Haz, metal, Sally et al

3:51 am

Haz1558

Hello Sally - and elder and jean who seems to be engrossed in the grid!

3:51 am

Sally-catlover

Ludlow (where I live) is famous for its sausages!

3:51 am

FMitch

Nice short grid today but have hit the wall :(

3:52 am

Haz1558

I'm not long started so it's still being cooperative.

3:52 am

FMitch

mmm sausages, mash and onion gravy!

3:52 am

Hello Haz and FMitch. I would like to say and a bright morning it is too, bit alas its rainy, with the sun trying to battle through the clouds.

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

mmmm FM!

3:52 am

FMitch

or sausage and mustard sandwiches, can you tell I'm hungry?

3:53 am

FMitch

Morning elder, it is dry here but poured all night.

3:53 am

Haz1558

I know, elder. We were just saying this morning that we haven't had any spring to speak of and the question is if we'll get any summer.

3:53 am

Sally-catlover

Rainy here too. Can't garden, too damp, so have to sit here and babble and dream of sausages!

3:54 am

mrpresident

evening all :)

3:54 am

Haz1558

Good evening mrpresident.

3:55 am

I expect the government is hoping we have along warm summer, to take our minds off more pressing issues.

3:55 am

metaleather

hello MrP

3:55 am

Sally-catlover

Hi there mrp.

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

A warm summer so that they can use their expensive swimming pools, elder?

3:56 am

FMitch

Hi MrP

3:56 am

elder

I have just set my potatoes ( a little late) and put tomatoes outside , so I don't mind a little rain but it needs to know when to stop.

3:56 am

elder

Hello MrP.

3:57 am

elder

Sally :)

3:57 am

Haz1558

I know, elder. I was watching Andrew Neil's programme last night and some of the MPs admitted that they have never felt so demoralised. If a royal wedding is announced we'll know that there's been a conspiracy.

3:57 am

Sally-catlover

My tomatoes still small, but possibly you are further south than I am, elder?

3:57 am

metaleather

another question if I may. Is anyone familiar with UK versions of MRE's (such as those by hotpackmeals.co ?) I'm interested in finding UK and continental versions of the standard US available items

3:57 am

elder

Haz, absolutely !

3:58 am

Haz1558

What does MRE stand for, metal?

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

What's an MRE?

3:58 am

metaleather

royal wedding? oooh. William?

3:58 am

FMitch

Can't help you with that one metal, never heard of them.

3:58 am

FMitch

HAve you tried googling it metal?

3:59 am

elder

Sally I am later with tomato plants than you, mine are still small plants.

3:59 am

elder

Metal I don't know what they are.

3:59 am

metaleather

it's an acronym for Meal Ready to Eat. Foods which need no refrigeration and which may be eaten with or without heating. Military style rations are an example, as are outdoor/hiking foods

3:59 am

Haz1558

metal - no royal wedding has been announced, it's just speculation on our part that the government will try anything to divert attention from the scandals surrounding MP's expenses.

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

But you have yours outside? Mine are still in pots in greenhouse. (very small pots!)

3:59 am

FMitch

Oh I must away, I have someone coming round in 1/2 an hour.
TTFN

3:59 am

metaleather

I am in the process of looking them up now FMitch, but didn't know the UK equivalent term for MRE

4:00 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

4:00 am

elder

Haz, I watch that every week , if possible, following on from question time.

4:00 am

Haz1558

I find it really interesting, elder, because you feel as though you're seeing behind the scenes a little.

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

metal, try googling for somewhere like Millets (outdoor shop in UK0, to see if they do them.

4:01 am

elder

Bye for now FMitch, not more men coming round surely.

4:01 am

Haz1558

She's a worry, elder, she really is.

4:01 am

metaleather

Millets, thank you. I'll do that

4:02 am

FMitch

LOL just the one (an estate agent) *poof*

4:02 am

Sally-catlover

Or Snow and Rock metal (I think that's what they are called).

4:02 am

Sally-catlover

Is this for a camping trip in the UK?

4:02 am

elder

I like Diane Abbott she usually comes over as being honest and fair and not to afraid of speaking her view rather than the political stance.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Oooh an estate agent! Watch out for 'has potential'. That covers a multitude of sins.

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

Compact!

4:03 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think she and Michael Portillo are both worth a listen although I'm always amused by how much she rolls her eyes.

4:03 am

elder

See I was right, men everywhere and now on pretext of an estate agent, yeh yeh yeh.

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

FM rolls her eyes? Oh, sorry, wrong conversation.

4:04 am

metaleather

I wish it would be for that Sally. This is just an offshoot of my interest in food storage and emergency preparations in general. I have a fairly long list of items and suppliers here in the US and some in Canada. I was wondering what was available in other nations and how those items would differ from what we have here.

4:04 am

Haz1558

An estate agent once referred to the 'sea-view' from my mother's bedroom window. A sliver of Belfast Lough if you stood on a chair....

4:04 am

elder

Haz. lol..

4:05 am

Haz1558

She rang me in fits of laughter to read out the description. A fancy pane of glass in a kitchen cupboard became 'a glass feature'.

4:05 am

elder

Metal, are you expecting to need and hold food supplies ?.

4:07 am

elder

Haz, I would think that in both our countries we would all have a sea/ river/lake view if we stood high enough.

4:07 am

metaleather

not in the sense of invasion or war but it's always wise to have some put by in case of job loss or natural disaster (we were without power for two weeks last fall after a hurricane passed over us.)

4:07 am

Sally-catlover

Just looked at hotpackmeals.co.uk site, but have never used them. We do get the "instant" hot coffee in some shops here. I think you pull a tab and get a hot drink (not sure how much it resembles coffee though)

4:07 am

Haz1558

I would agree. And over here you're rarely far from the countryside so they can legitimately claim that the country is on your doorstep.

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

You'd need a very high ladder to get a sea view in Shropshire, elder!

4:08 am

elder

Haz, I don't want to harp on about the MP's but it makes me smile when I hear and see them writing cheques and sending money back.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Yes, would you or I be able to write a cheque for £16,000 just like that?

4:09 am

elder

Metal thanks for explanation I thought something was happening that the government conveniently had forgotten to tell us. :)

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

Well, I could /write/ it - the bank might not honour it though!

4:09 am

elder

Sally yes :)

4:10 am

Haz1558

Lots of bouncing noises, Sally!

4:10 am

mrpresident

as lovely as this grid looks, the fire out the back is beaconing!!!
See you all soon!

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

Very loud ones :-)

4:10 am

Haz1558

See you, mrp.

4:10 am

metaleather

there may well be something happening. our government isn't exactly forthcoming unless pressed for details

4:10 am

metaleather

'bye MrP

4:11 am

metaleather

however, my interest is a "just in case" one.

4:11 am

elder

No, most time would be pushed to provide a few hundred .AS sadly in my job expenses are carefully monitored and strict.

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

What's the shelf life of these MREs, metal?

4:11 am

metaleather

and I'd like to know what you might have there that we dont' have here. a case of your grass might be greener...

4:11 am

elder

Bye for now MRP.

4:12 am

metaleather

it depends on the contents. most are good for at least 5 to 7 years unless stored in heat above 80F

4:12 am

metaleather

then the shelf life drops to 2 or 3 years, maybe more

4:12 am

Haz1558

Look behind Spangle for a view of how green our grass is.

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

lol, you'd be hard pressed to get that heat here at the moment.

4:13 am

elder

Haz, :)

4:13 am

Haz1558

And that photo was taken in the summer, as well!

4:13 am

metaleather

I'd love to be able to say that about here. Unfortunately we've had temps as high as 90 here already this month

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

Groan. I've been staring at my last S words, and they were two so easy SO4/4s. Why didn't I see them straight away.

4:14 am

elder

Most canned food last for ages.. years. Did they not find food items following the deaths of the Arctic explorers.

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Are MREs healthier than canned food do you think?

4:15 am

elder

'Peter Scott and his team '

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

Packs would take up less space than tins.

4:16 am

metaleather

I think both types of food, as well as dehydrated and/or freeze-dried, have their places in a solid and sensible storage plan.

4:17 am

elder

I thought the had much packed food and other ways of keeping food, the troops and modern explorers use the stuff.

4:17 am

metaleather

an MRE is usually higher in calorie content than a regular meal (unless you like do drown it in cheese as I do)

4:18 am

metaleather

I tend to get a wee bit obsessive when doing research and I got bitten by the what-do-other-countries-have bug

4:20 am

elder

Metal, Does not seem obsessive if your undertaking research, you need to know.

elder

Haz, do you think you should phone FMitch, to see how she's getting on with the "Estate agent". he he..

4:21 am

Haz1558

To rescue the estate agent, do you mean?

4:22 am

elder

ha ha ...

4:22 am

metaleather

I've found many sources and different food types here in the US, a few in Canada also. I'm interested in seeing the British or continental equivalents

4:22 am

Haz1558

It's every man for himself. I'm sure they get training in how to deal with all sorts of clients.

4:22 am

elder

He may not have a clue of her recent ( sad but true) reputation .

4:23 am

elder

Men just popping up everywhere lately.

4:23 am

Haz1558

He'll soon learn!

4:24 am

grannyrose

4:32 am

elder

hello granny.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Then you need to look for the car related to4/5

4:33 am

grannyrose

hey elder. how are things in your neck of the woods?

4:33 am

elder

and the to4/5 &5/12 , similar spelling to Haz, clues.

4:33 am

elder

Fine here Granny and yourself ?.

4:35 am

metaleather

ytytytytyty

4:35 am

Haz1558

You've made the wedding dress?

4:35 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, metal.

4:35 am

metaleather

Haz's

4:36 am

elder

is that the to Haz that sound like a policemans weapon .

4:36 am

grannyrose

haz, they have decided to elope, with a renewal of their vows on their first anniversary.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Seriously? So no dress?

4:37 am

grannyrose

strange so4 of elopement. they have been discussing it with me.

4:37 am

metaleather

the collar/necklace was what I needed. (the car clue mystified me a bit since I was thinking of a diff. spelling for the mechanical force)

4:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, I thought elopements were secret, scurry down a ladder sorts of things.

4:38 am

grannyrose

i will make the dress for when they have the tea ceremony and renewal of the vows.

4:38 am

elder

If you elope is that not a secret.

4:39 am

grannyrose

lol, elder, but take a guess as to who is financing the elopement?

4:39 am

Haz1558

That's what I call a reprieve, grannyrose. You'll have plenty of time to get it done.

4:39 am

elder

A little of you will be there then, granny and of course your money.:)

4:39 am

Haz1558

But the whole point of eloping is to do it (a) secretly and (b) cheaply. Or have I missed out on the new rules of elopement?

4:40 am

grannyrose

yes, haz. * lets out a sigh of relief * we can now take our time over material, design etc

4:40 am

elder

Haz, that's what I thought too.

4:40 am

BabbleRabble

elopement? More like extortion

4:40 am

elder

Hello Babble.

4:40 am

Haz1558

Hello Babble.

4:41 am

grannyrose

babrab, my son is just at the end of his first year apprenticeship ( motor mechanic ) and his fiancee's income is not very great.

4:42 am

herinfernallady

hi

4:42 am

elder

hello herin.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Hello herin.

4:43 am

elder

Granny, as long as you are pleased for them what ever they choose. That's ok.

4:43 am

grannyrose

as i said to josh, he is about 6 years later than the usual apprentice; i would have been supporting him at 17, why not now? it's a pity his father doesn't see it the same way.

4:43 am

metaleather

hi herin

4:43 am

Haz1558

In Britain, couples traditionally eloped to Gretna Green. Is there an equivalant in Australia?

4:43 am

herinfernallady

MEtal were have you been hiding

4:43 am

grannyrose

haz, beyond the black stump?

4:44 am

grannyrose

hey herin

4:44 am

Haz1558

The Black Stump doesn't sound very romantic, does it?

4:44 am

herinfernallady

Hey.

4:45 am

grannyrose

LOL very loudly. it's an oz saying, meaning a long, long way away

4:45 am

Haz1558

Ah! Another expression learned.

4:45 am

grannyrose

herin, i have to thank-you for being there for me a few weeks back. i was so miserable

4:46 am

elder

see, what one learns here.

4:46 am

Haz1558

The Gretna Green thing only came about because it was just across the border in Scotland from England and Scotland had different regulations making it easier for young girls to marry without parental permission.

4:46 am

Sally-catlover

Back from phone.

4:46 am

elder

wb Sally.

4:47 am

herinfernallady

Thats ok Rose everyone is giving me the ? right about now. Metal were have you been hiding? Hi sally

4:47 am

elder

You could marry in Scotland at Sixteen, without parental permission.

4:48 am

Sally-catlover

Lots of girls married under age and lied about their age.

4:48 am

Sally-catlover

My mother knocked nine years off her age when she married!!!

4:48 am

Haz1558

We discovered that my husband's grandmother married when barely fifteen - though with parental permission, the letter of permission was stored in an old family Bible.

4:48 am

grannyrose

good grief! and she was believed? by whom?

4:49 am

Haz1558

Our daughters were scandalised.

4:49 am

elder

Did she? why ?

4:49 am

grannyrose

lol, herin, different values

4:49 am

Sally-catlover

Is that for me, elder?

4:49 am

elder

Haz, I can imagine .

4:50 am

herinfernallady

THat is interesting Haz

4:50 am

grannyrose

sorry, * haz *

4:50 am

elder

yes.

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

She was older than my father. Her two sisters were witnesses and must have known. My father certainly knew later, but I always wondered just when he found out :-)

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

She kept up the fiction of her age until she was 80 when we threw a special birthday party for her.

4:51 am

Haz1558

But the marriage lasted for many years so they must have been mature enough to cope with such an early marriage.

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

She was going round saying, well, I don't really know how old I am!

4:51 am

elder

Sally, Legally would that make the marriage in valid

4:52 am

Sally-catlover

No I don't believe so elder.

4:52 am

Haz1558

I'm trying to remember now - do you have to produce birth certificates for proof of identity when applying for a marriage licence?

4:52 am

elder

haz, I think years ago you had to work so hard and once married you had to work things out.

4:52 am

Sally-catlover

You didn't then, and I don't think I did later.

4:53 am

herinfernallady

yes then no idea

4:53 am

herinfernallady

I know that you do know Haz.

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

The marriage would only be invalid if there was some legal reason why you couldn't marry (already married or something).

4:53 am

elder

I thought you did. as proof of whom you say you are.

4:53 am

herinfernallady

A false birth cert can make it a voidable marriage.

4:54 am

metaleather

sorry to be so long answering herin... got distracted doing some research. I've had computer troubles and schedule changes. will not be on a lot or regularly even yet but am glad to be here at all

4:54 am

Haz1558

I really can't remember what you needed. There are residency requirements, I do remember that.

4:54 am

herinfernallady

ok.

4:55 am

herinfernallady

Metal you on FB.?

4:55 am

herinfernallady

In Australia you have to give one month and one day notice to marry.

4:56 am

Haz1558

Of course howadays they're so keen on you proving who you are that you probably have to give blood and hair samples.

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

But you can also marry much sooner by special licence here.

4:56 am

metaleather

FB?

4:56 am

Haz1558

Is it a week's notice with special licence?

4:57 am

herinfernallady

You have to go see a Judge here If you are 16 and wish to marry

4:57 am

elder

I get fed up of having to prove who I am one way or another.

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Metal Face Book and sorry about Legend.

4:57 am

grannyrose

lol. you should have seen the congregation's faces when don and my banns were read out. as my very irreverent friend said, you could hear the dentures hitting the floor.

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

I actually know (knew) someone who married at a day's notice, he was dying in hospital and had to have two registrars present. Was apparently a wonderful service.

4:58 am

Sally-catlover

Hospital produced champagne and everything. Still makes me weep when I think about it.

4:58 am

metaleather

no, not on FB, dont' have that much to say about myself, lol. Thanks for the sympathy about my big ol' Lovesponge. Sure do miss him.

4:58 am

Haz1558

Poor soul. It was good that the hospital supported them.

4:59 am

elder

How sad but good that he was able to complete what he wanted to do.

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, was the first time alcohol had been on the premises! He was able to say his vows and everything without oxygen, and the local vicar even "borrowed" the flower arrangement from the local church.

5:00 am

Haz1558

That shows enterprise on the part of the vicar.

5:00 am

herinfernallady

I think in a special circumstance like that Sally they would not say no. I remember a story of these little kids they were about 10 and the little girl was dying and she wanted to marry her best boy friend. So they did but it wasn't legal and all that it was just a very sweet ceremony.

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

She showed herself as very caring.

5:01 am

elder

Proof. There are good people in the world .

5:02 am

herinfernallady

Ok the little girl didn't get married she promised to be forever friend with the boy

5:04 am

herinfernallady

Oh Sally that is so sweet

5:04 am

Haz1558

Well, I must shift myself and get something else done. I'm still relieved that I don't have grannyrose's task of making a wedding dress, even though the timeframe has changed. Have a good day. Bye all!

5:05 am

Haz1558

Or even husband's self-barbering attempts.

6:44 am

Atalante

oh! good point!

6:44 am

Atalante

6:44 am

Haz1558

6:44 am

crosshair

self barbering is easy now,just set the trimmer on 4 or 3 and go crazy:)

6:45 am

Haz1558

You'd think so, cross, but Ata's husband didn't read the instructions.

6:46 am

crosshair

6:46 am

Atalante

I found you something new and even more amusing

Anniebrook

We are having a wet spring here..but the sun is out today so that is nice

8:47 am

mrpresident

wet spring is good annie!!

8:47 am

12:23 pm

leighprefect

12:24 pm

danf63

true that leigh

12:25 pm

mrpresident

My little one... Maddie, is in a dance finale end of June, and it is 'All That Jazz' from 'Chicago'...
her friends in ballet are giving her hell about it

12:25 pm

danf63

MrP...Darth was talking about joining the musicians union so he could do pit for various shows around town...I had to remind him that 15 year olds have LOTS of homework to finish before they can do that...

12:25 pm

mrpresident

artistic expression is relative

12:26 pm

mrpresident

indeed dan!! school comes first babe!

12:26 pm

danf63

good for her...as long as they are happy with what they are doing, and it doesn't hurt them, I say let them do it

12:26 pm

DR1965

DARth forgets that MR P

12:27 pm

DR1965

sometimes ...

12:27 pm

EvaNadine

oh, MrP, you just took me back in time with speak of dance recitals. :)

12:27 pm

danf63

Darth was on the track team this spring...most people gave him a hard time about it, but I figured that he liked it, and aside from a mold case of shin splints, he did pretty well...now he is looking for a club team to practice with over the summer so he can run better next year

12:28 pm

danf63

*mild case of shin splints...no mold involved!

12:28 pm

DR1965

he just wants to stay busy

12:28 pm

mrpresident

She is happy to do the dance, it is very difficult and it is very sharp and artistic... her little friends have said they won't do it because it is "too slutty"... she was taken back by that and told them, 'it is a dance routine... and a very famous one at that'

12:29 pm

danf63

How old is Maddie?

12:29 pm

mrpresident

she is 11

12:31 pm

mrpresident

it isn't the pussycat dolls! that is a whole separate subject really!
Most of those little girls are going to the concert of Lady Gaga and Pussycat Dolls next weekend

12:31 pm

DR1965

but chicago is too slutty???

12:31 pm

danf63

"too slutty" seems a little off for 11 y/o's...

12:32 pm

mrpresident

Chicago is too slutty??
Is it?

12:32 pm

mrpresident

I think it is an exciting and amazing musical...

12:32 pm

mrpresident

I am very surprised that 11 year olds would know what that means... cause Maddie asked me what it meant!

12:33 pm

DR1965

I DK _ when I take Jake to school some of those girls are certainly dressed old for their age..

12:33 pm

DR1965

I was not saying it was slutty I was quotingyour comment

12:33 pm

danf63

Darth's Mom keeps complaining about his music, but is taking him to see Gwen Stefani and her lack of clothes in a couple of months. I can picture it now...my dangerously overweight 35 year old ex-wife and 15 year old raging hormone of a son in the 5th row at that concert

12:34 pm

mrpresident

oh no DR... that is not what I meant... I was asking if you thought it was too slutty! :))

12:34 pm

DR1965

Ithink Gwen Stefani is Preggers Dan- so maybe will not be quite as undressed

12:34 pm

DR1965

OH_ I do not think it is

12:35 pm

danf63

I think they use words like that to sound cool...I remember when Darth was in 6th grade all the kids called one of his friends a whore because she had given a boy a kiss on the cheek. Being the helpful, mature, adult that I am, I had to explain that she was a slut cause she did it for free!

12:36 pm

danf63

(just kidding...I told them how wrong they were! no hate mail please)

12:36 pm

mrpresident

If she was doing a pole dance... well, I would kill the dance teachers and shackle her in her room till she was sober of morals...
My Maddison is very switched on, and knows she is safe in the dance

12:36 pm

DR1965

LOL_ You were not kidding- I know you...: )

12:37 pm

mrpresident

oh dan!! LOL!

12:37 pm

DR1965

I am just glad Maddie has not broken anything else lately Mr P ..

12:37 pm

danf63

I was too kidding...I hated the thought of what that poor girl would go through because of those brats1

12:37 pm

DR1965

didnt she break her arm

12:38 pm

mrpresident

I had to explain to Maddie what a slut is... from my point of view.
She didn't correlate the dance with slutty at all

12:38 pm

mrpresident

she broke her finger this time DR!

12:38 pm

danf63

uummm...they teach pole dancing at the community colleges around here. I have been thinking of crashing that class...for exercise purposes, of course!

12:39 pm

DR1965

OH- I knew it was something - good for her for understanding dance!

12:39 pm

mrpresident

oh of course dan!! LOL!! 8D

12:39 pm

DR1965

UGH! The visual

12:40 pm

danf63

play nice DR...I would look good on the pole!

12:40 pm

DR1965

would be interested to see your grade at the end of the semester...

12:40 pm

DR1965

ok I will be nice

12:41 pm

danf63

darn couriers! be back later...2 just arrived!

12:41 pm

2:10 pm

some do, some don't. the best gene is named sonic hedgehog ;)

2:11 pm

redturtlehead

Ata, I dont believe I have the Hedgehog gene...

2:11 pm

Atalante

I would hope you do

2:13 pm

Atalante

*prods red for developmental strangeness*

2:17 pm

redturtlehead

Well, my toes are webbed a bit...but otherwise not too crazy.

2:17 pm

Atalante

you should have a hedgehog or two somewhere then

2:17 pm

redturtlehead

Maybe i do have it. I dont knwo which one it is.

2:18 pm

Atalante

the hedgehog family are way early genes, they help regulate developmental processes, particularly bilateralism and order in the body

2:18 pm

redturtlehead

Well, my toes on both feet are webbed, n ot all of them but the Numbers 2-3. are bilaterally so I guess I am hedgehogged.

2:19 pm

Atalante

if you had no hedgehogs, you'd more than likely be a very strange mass of rejected foetus tissue. and I don't *think* you are :)

2:19 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I surely hope not.

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

At times I feel that way but not that often.
