Just a thought for next week.
JOHN BECK Feb 27, 2012, 2:09pm UTC
I have to agree it's different!
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 2:50pm UTC
Wonder what she'll choose for next week.
Tracy Fabre Feb 27, 2012, 2:08pm UTC
I PROMISE I'll give it back, as soon as I've notified the authorities!!!
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 2:51pm UTC
Hey! Got any fresh eye of the newt?
Tanya P. Feb 27, 2012, 7:40pm UTC
While it's true that Newt (Gingrich) is apparently "fresh" with the ladies, he himself is far from fresh. EEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 8:32pm UTC
So, does that mean I can't get fresh ingredients?
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 12:59am UTC
May I suggest YOU, Pam, get fresh with Newt Gingrich....he might reward you with an eye????????

Hahahaha...........................
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 1:03pm UTC
I really needed that morning laugh, Marianne. But, yuck.
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 6:16pm UTC
:))))
Tanya P. Feb 29, 2012, 11:48am UTC
LMBO.
A. F. Stewart Feb 27, 2012, 2:37pm UTC
Evil cookbook recipes? I love it.
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 2:51pm UTC
Thanks, A. F. Wonder which she'll do next week.
Janet "Jax" B. Feb 27, 2012, 2:38pm UTC
LOL...funny one.
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 2:52pm UTC
Jax, thank you so much. Looking forward to yours.
Sonia M. Feb 27, 2012, 3:24pm UTC
I recently read a book where the main character has an old cookbook with very weird recipes written by her mother, grandmother and great grandmother when they were angry or upset with someone....made for interesting recipes...the book title "Gone with a Handsomer Man" by Michael Lee West... it was fun...;-)
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 3:36pm UTC
Sonia, it sounds like my kind of book. Why don't you do a book review?
Sonia M. Feb 27, 2012, 5:41pm UTC
I might. The main character loves to bake cakes.

Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 6:59pm UTC
Great. I don't like to cook. I tried to bake zucinni, pineapple, rainsin, nut muffins. Pretty much call them rocks.

Looking very much to your review.
Tanya P. Feb 27, 2012, 7:42pm UTC
What's a 'rainsin'?
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 8:30pm UTC
It's the word for what happens when you're trying to make gluten free muffins. It ain't a rainsin. Sorry, I meant 'a risin'. Typo.
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 1:01am UTC
What is a 'risin'?? Not a RAISIN????
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 1:04pm UTC
All I know is that a raisin ain't a risin.?????
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 6:19pm UTC
And all I know now is that I'm totally confused!! What's new...LOL.
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 6:22pm UTC
Nuttin honey. Just funning. Hope you're feeling better.
Tanya P. Feb 29, 2012, 11:49am UTC
Marianne, imagine growing up with her. ;^)

This has me laughing.
Pam Brittain Feb 29, 2012, 12:16pm UTC
Hey, I was a great sister.
Sonia M. Feb 29, 2012, 1:17pm UTC
You mean you no longer are, Pam?

(snicker....)
Pam Brittain Feb 29, 2012, 1:23pm UTC
Sonia, I love that word 'snicker'.
Sonia M. Feb 29, 2012, 1:36pm UTC
;-)
jeanne clarke Feb 29, 2012, 2:24pm UTC
it reminds her of a candy bar.
Sonia M. Feb 29, 2012, 2:30pm UTC
LOL
Tanya P. Mar 1, 2012, 3:10am UTC
Heh heh heh ..... "was"

Ah, you're the best sister, present, past and future tense. ♥♥
Sonia M. Mar 1, 2012, 11:47am UTC
;-)
Phillip DeNise Feb 27, 2012, 4:54pm UTC
for healthy breeding stock, it is recommended to remove only one eye[left one preferred if you want your newts to go right], & release them back into the wild
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 4:58pm UTC
Interesting place you want the newts. But, I think that's where they belong. Assuming this is a polical comment. (I'm going to get into so much trouble for saying this).
Tanya P. Feb 27, 2012, 7:45pm UTC
Phillip, no no no......do NOT let Newt run wild. He is a menace to society. (If you are a Newt fan, please disregard this comment.)
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 8:28pm UTC
Ditto for me, Tanya and I'm a registered Republican. Go figure.
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 1:02am UTC
YOU are a Republican. Pam?? I can't figure THAT :)
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 1:06pm UTC
Registered, but I vote my mind. You know, pick the least evil.
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 1:07pm UTC
Marianne, you will stay my friend, won't you?
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 6:20pm UTC
Absolutely, Pam....a friend like you is a keeper!!! I'm honored to call you friend, my friend :)
Tanya P. Feb 29, 2012, 11:51am UTC
....and a sister like you is a keeper, too.
Pam Brittain Feb 29, 2012, 12:16pm UTC
Awe. Thanks you two.
Patrick C. Feb 29, 2012, 11:22pm UTC
Even if you are not a Newt G. supporter, the man is highly entertaining.
Tanya P. Mar 1, 2012, 3:13am UTC
Can't argue that, Patrick, but such black comedy. ☺
Tanya P. Mar 1, 2012, 3:15am UTC
Wait a minute.....though the term is correct, at this time it is probably not 'politically' correct. so.....edit to ......"but such dark comedy".
J. Reid Feb 27, 2012, 5:43pm UTC
Imaginative!
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 6:54pm UTC
So, J. Reid, where's your suggestion?
J. Reid Feb 28, 2012, 5:16pm UTC
I am focusing on my Blog for a while, with Kimberly gone as editor WWE, all the fun is gone.
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 5:25pm UTC
I know I'll never match what Kimberly did as editor. I looked forward to her posts. She's the best. But, I was cajoled into that editor spot. I know I'll be different, but will give my best.
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 6:26pm UTC
Pam, there's no question in my mind that you will match Kimberly. YOU are your own person with your own gifts, especially the gifts of kindness and wicked fun!!!

THEREFORE, you will be doing an excellent job in your own right, Pam. Kimberly is gone, and she will be missed, butLONG REIGN GATHER PAM!
J. Reid Feb 28, 2012, 6:33pm UTC
We shall see. I had no clue that you were replacing Kimberly; she has an intellect that I can easily connect with, enabling me to produce work I am proud of. Have fun! Smiles...
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 6:38pm UTC
Thank you Marianne and I hope you take up tomorrow's silly challenge.

J. Reid, I don't claim to be an intellect, but I know that I love your work and no matter whose challenge you take, I'll be there supporting you.
J. Reid Feb 28, 2012, 6:42pm UTC
Smiles...
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 7:47pm UTC
J. Reid, I can't tell you how happy I am that you're my friend.

The same goes to Marianne and all of my friends. I'm truly rich.
J. Reid Feb 29, 2012, 12:19pm UTC
That may change. I tend to have little patience with connections which fall off of the tracks.
Tanya P. Mar 1, 2012, 3:38am UTC
Wow. I'm totally confused with this thread. Its tone seems to be very insulting. But I see above that you've recommended Pam's post. I also remember that Pam thinks very highly of you, J. Reid. Since Pam has only today made her first challenge to the group, I don't understand where this is coming from, especially that last comment. I am choosing to go with the thought that this is a style of banter developed between you and Pam, going along with her positive and encouraging comments to you. I hope so.
J. Reid Mar 1, 2012, 7:36am UTC
Okay...I cannot imagine where you are coming from with your diatribe. I do not engage in love fests just stating my mind and feelings as I am quite annoyed with anyone who misunderstands my connection as undying devotion or anything more than a connection which is voluntary and flexible! Tanya, I can clearly see why we have no connection. Sigh…!
Vj McMullan Feb 27, 2012, 6:24pm UTC
Imaginative, though the eye part...
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 6:54pm UTC
Vj, any chance you would be willing to finish that sentence?
Vj McMullan Feb 27, 2012, 7:02pm UTC
I think imaginative is a compliment.
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 8:40pm UTC
Just funning. It is more than a compliment - it's wonderful. Thank you.
Pam Brittain Feb 27, 2012, 6:55pm UTC
Hey, Chick, thanks for recommending my post, but where's yours?
Mustafa Demiri Feb 27, 2012, 10:38pm UTC
Don't forget the wool of bat... it gives it a sort of a fluffy quality.
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 1:08pm UTC
Mustafa, should I use the blender on it?
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 1:03am UTC
YUMMY...................:)
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 1:09pm UTC
Hugs, Marianne.
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 6:29pm UTC
Hugs back atcha, Pam :)


atcha?? spelling???
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 6:34pm UTC
Gatcha!
Tanya P. Feb 29, 2012, 11:52am UTC
Gesundheit
Marianne K. Feb 29, 2012, 5:08pm UTC
Danke schoen, Tanya!
Irina Dimitric Feb 28, 2012, 1:08am UTC
Shivers! That's a witch's brew...
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 1:09pm UTC
Tracy's going to call the authorities on me. Is there a witch's narc squad?
Marianne K. Feb 28, 2012, 6:27pm UTC
......if there is, I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pam Brittain Feb 28, 2012, 6:35pm UTC
Evil chirp.
Betty S. Feb 29, 2012, 4:23am UTC
I don't know about that freash eye of the newt.. Is that an asian appetizer?
Pam Brittain Feb 29, 2012, 12:15pm UTC
I think they grow in Washington, D.C. Hi, Betty!
Patricia J. Mar 1, 2012, 10:46am UTC
This is fantastic, Pam, I love it!
Pam Brittain Mar 1, 2012, 1:18pm UTC
You're such a great, supportive friend. Thank you.
William Dotani Mar 2, 2012, 2:34am UTC
Good prompt idea, but I of course would prefer a bean soup recipe.
Tanya P. Mar 2, 2012, 8:55am UTC
I won't be surprised if you get the bean soup in there some how. I can already think of one way.
Pam Brittain Mar 2, 2012, 12:47pm UTC
Hmmmmm. Bean soup with eye of the newt. Sounds good.????
William Dotani Mar 4, 2012, 4:10am UTC
Oh no! Is Pam supporting Newt?
Pam Brittain Mar 4, 2012, 1:17pm UTC
Don't worry William. I don't really care for that guy.
