I think Set will want some of this for breakfast.

I thought I was the only one who liked pasta--especially cold pasta with sauce--for breakfast.

That pasta does look good for dinner, ehBeth.

I think I'll have some with garlic bread and a salad.

Sybil's ready to put something together for you - just let Wassau know.

I'm waiting for my evening glass of carrot juice.

@Frank Apisa,

You forgot this posting, Frank. Odd that you, Mr Honesty, would want to make it disappear

Spendius: I saw Fred Couples say that it took him an hour to play one hole.

Quote:

Frank A: Try to speak the Queen's English so that it can be understood. Does the "him" in that sentence refer to Fred Couples or to Tiger Woods. There is no way to determine that from the wording you used.

Quote:

jtt: You're getting involved, AGAIN, "on a subject about which your knowledge is suspect", Frank.

Quote:

Frank A: Ah...not enough character in you to own up to the fact that one cannot tell to whom the "him" refers. Okay...we've come to expect that.

Okay, Frank, ya got me. I was just trying to save you from heaping more embarrassment upon yourself.

I'll own up to the fact that one Frank Apisa pretended that he couldn't understand very elementary rules of English grammar just so he could get in a silly dig.

Quote:
That is abject blather, Spendius. Several of the "experts" were the people who made the call...and the officials of the PGA and USGA who agreed with the call.

Masters 2013: Should Tiger Woods have been disqualified?

Tiger Woods' Penalty Should Have Been Assessed On The Spot Or Not At All

You should disqualify yourself! Faldo says Woods will damage legacy by playing on at Augusta

"Was there intent to break the rule is the question? I think he should WD. He took a drop to gain an advantage. DQ believers aren't wrong. 2 shot penalty believers not wrong. Precedent is now set."
David Duval

"Normally, signing an incorrect scorecard would be an automatic DQ but the rules were amended last year so that penalties could be assessed later without disqualifying the player."

Quote:

Frank A: Your original comment, Spendius, was:

All the experts said Woods should have been disqualified.

I have already offered several experts who think otherwise...so your comment was wrong.

Jeez!

Frank has got you, Spendi. This time, instead of accusing you of hyperbole, he pretends he doesn't know it exists. And, honest guy that Frank is, he also pretends that you were serious with your "All the experts ... ".

Jeez!

Why did Jane Austen choose "Fanny Price" for the name of her most confessional heroine?

Is that the sort of burning issue that keeps you awake at night?

Spendi, some of us actually live in a world that is not defined or circumscribed by Jane Austen. We also live in this century.

This is what you get in a reasonably bohemian coffee shop

No, it's simply the sort of thing you choose to preoccupy yourself with.

Who, beside you, thinks this is a "bohemian" coffee shop? Are you trying to affect a bohemian persona to go with your image of this place? And a bohemian from what era? Often it's difficult to locate where you are in time.

The pasta is really quite good, with an excellent sauce. Why do you find it so unappealing?

@ehBeth,

ehBeth, those selections are absolutely perfect. Exactly what I'd like to have. I'll try to get Sybil's attention after she finishes with a patron who seems to be giving her a difficult time.

@firefly,

Aren't you one of these Americans, FF? Quite a good read.

What the Bloody Hell Is Wrong with You Americans?
Why you should be embarrassed by the fascination with Kate Middleton's womb.

BY ALEX MASSIE | DECEMBER 4, 2012

...

Mark Twain was surely right. "Unquestionably the person that can get lowest down in cringing before royalty and nobility, and can get most satisfaction out of crawling on his belly before them, is an American. Not all Americans, but when an American does it he makes competition impossible." Consider, too, that Twain never had the pleasure of witnessing American morning television and its ridiculous habit of fawning over, successively, Prince William's engagement, his marriage to Kate Middleton and now, the happy news that the next stage of the succession is on the point of being secured.

Anyway folks--is an accusation of having ADD a compliment or an insult?

It's usually not a compliment. But there are many very creative people who have a learning difference described as attention deficit disorder. So as long as a person learns how to manage the difference, it can be useful.

That's just the first link that showed up on google - I've read about a connection with creativity and add or adhd before.

There, you see? Osso and I both knew that ADD isn't all bad.

What do you think?

It is interesting how slang can be so different from one location to another. Cow patty to me means cow poop. Cow pie..........I think that means poop to me too. But apparently across the water, it means something good to eat, possibly beef?

@Lola,

SPENDI should seek out the file for the CBC docudrama called "ADD and LOVING IT".
