I'd rather plant some roots.........

[westgrandboulevard]

...and start yourself a Shrub Club, moe....

[144man]

I'd plant anything you can make alcohol from.

[westgrandboulevard]

I have to say I'm quite partial to a nice glass of hemlock...

[144man]

I'll try that if it's the last thing I do...

[westgrandboulevard]

I do it, and I've lasted quite well...

[moe]

You really DO look well-preserved, westgrand. And here I thought it was R&B's hooch that was the best "preserver" on the market!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Ah well, it has to be said that arrr&bee's 'Hooch Original' is the very BEST preserver.

It beats every known jam or marmalade into second place. No contest. Well, all that sugar could kill a person!

[144man]

Yes, sugar can be lethal. A crate dropped from a window can be fatal if it lands on a passer-by.

[westgrandboulevard]

I've avoided sugar for decades......

[144man]

Saccharin's OK, but sugar's hard to beet.

[westgrandboulevard]

Whenever I go to put in a hot drink, it often appears lumpy.....

[144man]

There's a grain of truth in that.

[westgrandboulevard]

The truth, the hole truth, and nothing but half a tooth!

[moe]

What about Stevia?

[westgrandboulevard]

I had to Google that one. You're a real life encyclopedia! Are you a jungle woman, moe? You're very up on herbs and shrubs.

So, what can you tell me about Stevia....?

[moe]

No, not a jungle woman, westgrand, but Stevia is a reasonable alternative when sugar is restricted. I've used it and thought is to be ok. However, the cost is a bit steep.

[westgrandboulevard]

...and, from what I was reading, it's used as an additive in food/drink, sometimes...?

[144man]

Is there any aftertaste?

[arrr&bee]

I dated a stevia once her father was a stevadoor,as soon as i found the backdoor i was outta there!!

[westgrandboulevard]

And I bet you've crept IN a few back doors in your time, staying out too long, too late...

[moe]

I wondered how long it would take all of you to make Stevia jokes! No aftertaste. I think we've all been out too late!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I stay in now, thinking 'doesn't it get late so very early, these days'......

[moe]

Quite right westgrand.........we're not getting any faster so time must stand still.

[westgrandboulevard]

What goes around ,comes around, moe. Just grab it, each time it passes you

[144man]

Time goes faster because people keep trying to kill it.

[westgrandboulevard]

The more time is spent wondering where it goes, the more of it is wasted...

[144man]

How very sage! You certainly know your onions. It's about thyme.

[westgrandboulevard]

You could have made three posts from that one. Must be the season, for reason.

[moe]

You two are so far ahead of me..........I'm gonna just curry on out of here.......

[westgrandboulevard]

You're my flavourite flavour, moe - or flavorite flavor, if you prefer

[moe]

Are you Flavor Flav, westgrand?

[westgrandboulevard]

Another one of yours I needed to Google, Moe! Never heard of him until now. We couldn't be more different - and he's nearly ten years younger than me LOL

[144man]

As he would wear a clock round his neck, he should be banished to the "Just a Chime" thread.

[westgrandboulevard]

I'll second that.

[moe]

I'll chime in and agree...........done!!

[westgrandboulevard]

OK. Ummmm, does that mean we shouldn't go there any more.....?

[144man]

Could be time to ring the changes.

[moe]

And do what? Am I supposed to cancel my plans again?

[westgrandboulevard]

No, not at all, moe. Let's hold a reception. "The Cancel Thread welcomes Flavor Flav"........

[144man]

Didn't your plans include Flavor Flav's chicken and ribs, moe? Your dinner is waiting for you in the "Just A Chime" thread, and it's getting cold now.

[westgrandboulevard]

Dinner is served in the "Just A Chime" thread, moe.

And, to get you over there quicker, 144man will sing to you in this thread

[144man]

"If you want it, here it is,
Come And Get It,
But you'd better hurry 'cos it's going fast, la la la..."

[westgrandboulevard]

There will be a stampede.

[moe]

The elephant from Ralph's house, no doubt.

[westgrandboulevard]

A worrying thought.

In my mind, that conjures thoughts of more than one elephant.

Suppose all its friends and relatives get to know the deal via Facebook......

[144man]

...or herd through the grapevine.

[westgrandboulevard]

As big as they are, they can creep up on you very silently.....

[144man]

...but they can never get the jump on you.

[westgrandboulevard]

If a very large animal weighing several thousand kilograms can never get the jump on me, I'd not like to meet one which could...
