TEST!! Had this been an actual post, you'd have been instructed to...

[moe]

Only the good stuff...............and I am a HUGE fan of shortbread!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Haven't tried to make shortbread yet [[a really nice one is always good to eat) but did have a first attempt at 'damp gingerbread' last weekend.

It wasn't as attractive to me as my Mum's ginger cake with gooey topping used to be [[have been searching, but not found her recipe- yet!) but it was OK - and it's all gone....

[moe]

Funny how we all remember something our mother used to make! Mine made this "2 day cake" that she only made once a year, and only for my sister's birthday [[guess I didn't rate!)

[westgrandboulevard]

Aha! Sounds like you may have been a victim of cake discrimination, Moe. LOL

The sad part is when, after decades of experience, the cakes then start turning out all wrong, and Mums can't understand how it is happening...

[moe]

That is so true westgrand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

One wonderful day, someone [[let's call them a body electrician) will be able to check out the circuits in our brains, and replace or re-route our thought impulses when they show signs of a fault and start to fail us- just like someone bringing an old electrical wiring system up to date, or tracing and repairing a fault in a telephone system.......

[arr&bee]

Heck west,a sip of hooch will do all that..of course your system may shut down for oh one-two years,but after the hullucinations wear off you'll be as good as um as good as...ahem as good as well anyhow you'll be something and in time a team of top notch pychoanylist will tell you exactly what that something is.

[westgrandboulevard]

Well, thank you for that arr&bee, but I'll stick with coffee, and remain vigilant....

[moe]

I don't need a shrink to tell me what I am, R&B. I can always ask westgrand!!

[westgrandboulevard]

That's what friends are for, moe....you only have to ask. And sometimes you don't even have to ask ...LOL

[144man]

Smiling faces sometime pretend to be your friend...

[westgrandboulevard]

Better that, than a friend with a perpetual expression of .....

[144man]

A surfeit of puns will cause that expression; just ask those friends I have left.

[westgrandboulevard]

Would I need to do that via a psychiatric nurse, or a medium?

[144man]

Maybe a psychic nurse could do both.

[moe]

Or a psycho nurse! I know plenty!

[arr&bee]

Hey moe i just got out of the psycho..opps-err-ahem-hehe...psychoanalysis program myself.

[westgrandboulevard]

Now, by any chance, would that be the Arr&bee Nuts "R" Us psychoanalysis programme for the extremely fortunate' ?

[moe]

You get a gold star for that piece of info, westgrand!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Only four more to go, moe, and I'll be fully accredited

[moe]

Then you can psychoanalyze R&B...........talk about a daunting task!!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Hmmm. I see what you mean. A bit like plaiting fog??

[arr&bee]

They tried to locate my brain waves...but the tide had already gone out.

[westgrandboulevard]

Did they find any microwaves?

[moe]

No, there was a serious undertow and were zapped..........

[westgrandboulevard]

Time and tide wait for no arr&bee.

[moe]

The way this weather is going he might be in a snowdrift!

[westgrandboulevard]

There could soon a whole crowd of you there, huddled together for warmth!

[moe]

At least we would be warm..........

[westgrandboulevard]

Sheep are known to survive for extended periods under snowdrifts.

Make of that what you will.

[moe]

Yes, I have to ask: what are they doing under those snowdrifts????

[westgrandboulevard]

If you mean how does it happen, I think they shelter as best they can in exposed countryside, but the snow just keep coming down on them, and they become trapped.

After that, I guess they just sit there, woolgathering, and counting sheep....

[moe]

Sheep counting sheep, westgrand............very profound

[arr&bee]

I used to count sheep,but they wanted a drink each time they came by,too many sheep baaaaabling all night.

[westgrandboulevard]

A baaaaabling brook of fresh water would be much more their style.

[moe]

Ewe two are such comedians!!!

[144man]

That's the result of woolly thinking.

[westgrandboulevard]

Also known as losing the thread. Hopefully, not this one.....

[arr&bee]

Hey west,no sheep in his right mind would dare enter my sleep drinking water...of course the sheep in my dreams aren't in their right minds,hehehe.

[moe]

Why? Did they get to your hooch?

[westgrandboulevard]

They must have followed him home. I'm thinking of Mary had a little lamb.

[144man]

I had a little lamb. Then I had some beef and some pork.

[westgrandboulevard]

Good to see you're making ends meat.

[144man]

It's as easy as pie.

[moe]

Very crusty!!

[westgrandboulevard]

On that subject, I find the smell of baking bread, and the sight of a very crusty fresh white loaf, almost irresistible.

[144man]

Are the Baguettes an old girl group?

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, but they're currantly on a roll.

[144man]

They obviously know which side their bread is buttered. Let's give them a toast.

[westgrandboulevard]

They're still making a lot of dough from their biggest hit, 'As Long As He Kneads Me'
