OMG...hahahaha...but seriously please dont encourage her (sigh)

I agree Dooj. I was on my way to bed when this thread once again caught my eye. It is a shame that this thread has been derailed yet again by bickering. Jean we all understand that grammer and spelling are an issue with you. But could you please out of courtesy to those that want to continue on topic in this thread take your personal war to the PM's where it truly belongs? Thank you and good night to all.

Shhhh..don't tell no body but I put it in the pulpit at the redneck church next door.

Common mistake...yup I can see it.

It was the word "breather" wasn't it? :huh:

You mean your name isn't "Jane", OMG I really miss those nametags! Seriously tho...great post! I hate to admit that TWI did "permeate" every and I do mean every corner of my life. Whether I wanted it to or not. Kinda hard to get the scum out of the corners now and again. But some of the folks in here carry some mighty small brushes just for that reason. :P

Next time get out your concordance before you post. Bad doojie! Congrats on that minivan...we had to get a full sized one before we started to slim 'em down and pawn 'em off on someone else. Enjoy it while they are young...then they turn into teenagers and know everything...

Hahahahahahahahah...aaaawwwhaahaaha...snort....hahahahahahaha...snort, snort.....aaawwwwwhahahaha Thank you Belle! I needed that!

I think what you are refering to is Applesauce Cake. I believe we made it in square pans then cut it down the middle, spread sweetened cream cheese on it then put the two halves back together then cut it into squares. Here is the recipe: 1 1/2 Cup sifted whole wheat flour 3/4 cup soy flour 1/2 cup powdered milk (non-instant) 4 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. cinnamon 2/3 cup honey 1/2 cup oil 4 eggs 3/4 cup applesauce 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ 1 cup raisins Sift together dry ingredientes, except wheat germ. Cream honey, oil and eggs. Mix dry ingredients into creamed mixture laternatly with applesauce, wheat germ and raisins. Beat well and pour into greased 9x13 inch cake pan. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes When it is cool cut it length wise down the middle and spread some sweetened cream cheese down the middle. We had to cook "healthy' so we sweetened with honey but I was thinking some of those premixed cream cheese flavors like the Honey Walnut spread would taste really good with this. Anyway I think that is what you were looking for. If not well it's still a good recipe.

Hmmm...funny I didn't even notice it...guess I was too busy thinking up a response. Besides everyone knows I can't spell worth a sh!t. Please don't leave us Chas...I would miss you...

I recall making this bread at Emporia. It had Ginger in it...I don't remember it coming out of a can tho... I have eaten it out of a deli here at home. But I do believe that I have the recipe. I'll check for you.

Ooohh...my toes are tingling...really no joke! Thank you Belle!

Funny you should mention the whole "thought I was over it" idea. It is funny in a not so Ha Ha way that a person's mind can simply bury stuff that it does not want to deal with. Then when it comes up somewhere down the road the rest of your brain is saying "where the heck did that come from?" "I thought I had lost that years ago" But go figure...there it is once again staring you in the face. Also good points on the misspellings and grammer and certainly the paragraphs. Kathy the feeling is mutual sweetie! And just so you know...you can stop teasing me about the beach...just 'cause I live in a desert doesn't mean we dont have a beach...we got sand, lots of it...it's the water that we have trouble finding.. so there!

Hey JJ or Belle Anyone got a recipe for really good Hush Puppies? I really miss those darn things...there are several things that I really liked about the south when I was there and having Hush Puppies readily available is one of them. Please.... :D

I thought that we were doing the whole artist thing with Sirguessalot and Doojable? Did I read too much into the discussion?

Kathy my dear one...thank you for sharing with us. That was beautiful. I know for one I am very happy that you are here at GS. Your open honest little posts helped give me courage way back when (it was only a couple of months but seems like years) when I took over Rascal's thread to bear my soul for all to see. Dooj, you also have been a guiding light for me as I try to navigate these often rough waters. The gentle but firm manner that you utilize to help steer threads and your bantering sense of humor that is so often displayed on those same theads, gives me a "safe" feeling. I know that I can always count on Temple Lady and Rascal to come up with some deep and profound thought that will have me pondering my own existance sometimes for days, and they have just rattled it off of the tops of their beautiful heads. Go figure! Of course DMiller and Belle will always be there to make certain that we all take a little closer look in the mirror if we get just a little too far out of line. But they also have great knowledge and heart to impart as well. I could go on and on naming all of the people here at GS and the ways that they touch my life and so many others, Bramble who's light heart makes me smile, John who's unique insight causes me to think in new directions, and Jean who when she actually decides to join a conversation has great insight and knowledge that adds imense value and depth to the topic. As I said "on and on". Why an ex-way site? Why indeed! We still need our family. We still need each other. And we still enjoy each others company, and learn from each other, and laugh, and cry, and grow as children of God. I am so very thankful that you all are here and that there is a "here" to be...so my grammer sucks! Oh well...I'll go stand in the corner now. God how I love you guys!

Oops...sorry!

Alright the next person that steps out of line or mispells a word has to go stand in the corner. On a second offence they will be hand cuffed to the toilet! That is if we can get that cop to stop eating all of the donuts. BTW, who ordered the donuts? I dont remember any stinking donuts! Are there any chocolate ones left? Of course not, silly me look at all the women in this thread there wouldn't be a chocolate donut withing 100 yards of the place. <_< Are we off topic?

Yup sho nuff we shor cood! But on a serious note, this thread really does have some wonderful heart and insight within its tarnished pages. Moving it to the basement would be a shame.

A small dark stinky bathroom at the park! Ok so someone go pick up Jonny and ask him to bring that picture of his...well his picture!

Ok all I want to know is...who called the cops? Out with it who's the person with happy finger disease? What's this world coming to now days, jeez can't even have a decent Brooha without someone getting twitchy fingers. And a plain clothed one at that. She snuck right in and layed the hammer down... Just kidding ladies, welcome to our little thread. Please sit right down on the little funky couch and do tell us vat is it that you might be zinking about zee topic at hand? Hmmmm...vye do ve need zee Ex Vay site? In your own vords pleaze. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Now that is an interesting point of view. I have never looked at spelling and grammer correction as "reproof" but as correction. But it wasn't just Rascal and I that thought that your comment was rude. But that is neither here nor there. No I do not claim that your comment was correct or incorrect but, sometimes we all mispell or type so fast that our grammer gets lost in translation, similar to the mistake that you made in the quote above that I highligted in bold type. Everyone can make mistakes, and correcting someones grammer is not a bad thing. My issue is in the manner that you said it. That's all.

Jean, please understand that what I say is not out of anger or accusation. I just think that what I suggest is a simple solution so that we may all continue with the actual topic on the thread without this back and forth bickering.

Very good, dialogue...this we can work with. Thank you Jean for responding to my questions. I didn't get the impression that anyone was talking about the "renewed mind" or "thinking about the Bible" as a habit pattern that needed to be changed. I know that I personally have a habit pattern of asking God's advice on darn near everything, and of thinking about the Bible and scriptures that are relevent to any given situation regularly. So if these items were to be placed into the "bad" habit column then I would also disagree with that placement. But as I said I did not get the impression that anyone was doing that. Perhaps if you did you can show me where. I have been known to miss things. I am beginning to understand that you have a major problem with poor grammer. I do agree that there have been times when a poster's grammer has made it difficult for me to understand what they were trying to get across. (Although I must say that I have never had a problem with Rascal's grammer) My mother was an English major in college prior to the USA's involvement with WWII which changed her priorities. Hence proper English, both spoken and written were a necessity in our household. However, we were also expected to be polite. I therefore strongly disagree with the manner in which you addressed Rascal's grammer because it was rude. I do not see this as "standing up" for Rascal, she's a big girl and can do that for herself if she so chooses. I see this as reproof and correction to you for your lack of love concerning her in this matter. If this is the type of love that you learned from your stint in TWI then your "leaders" should be called to account for it. I see no need to reference PFAL in this thread. I learned English from people who were far more qualified than VP to teach it correctly. And finally, people that "stand up" for others on these boards whether it be Rascal or someone else do so because they love that person. It is true that Rascal is my friend and I would do anything for her or any of my other friends. But she is more than just a friend. The both of you fall into another catagory as well. You are both children of the most High God! You are both members of the same household. I would stand up for anyone that fit into that catagory if I felt that they were being wronged and yes I would expect you to do so also. You may disagree with Rascal's personal opinion as much as you like and I will defend with my life your right to do so, but you have no right to personally attack any member of the house of God. Furthermore no one has the right to attack you in similar manner. Which is why I had to ask those questions. You were told by several people that your comment was rude. But you chose to ignore that reproof. So now I am saying it again, it was rude. No one launched a personal attack on you or John. Temple Lady's post and Brambles post were not addressed to anyone, if you chose to apply the contents to yourself then you applied them because you felt that they fit. (If the shoe fits!) Bottom line: You were given reproof, you should have corrected yourself and simply appologized. But you chose not to do so. Now there are accusations and cr@p flying everywhere and the household on this thread is in confusion, hurt and undue anger. You have the power and Godly responsibility to correct this problem, the question is "Will you chose to do so?"

Thank you John that clears up that dilema for me.
