February ...O Dark Thirty Coffee is up

[Delmonico]

I use an old envelope and a pencil.   Way too much trouble for these fingers to type on those little button things. 

[Delmonico]

Making progress on the fruit, on to rhubarb.  OK, it ain't really a fruit by biological standards but if you make dessert out of it, then it counts as a fruit.  LOL

[Stu Kettle]

Never made anything but a dessert out of it.  Is it true that the leaves are poisonous?

[Delmonico]

yep, they contain oxalic acid but it is estimated it would take about 10 pounds to kill you, a meal of greens would just make you feel a bit sick. 

But, yeah, don't eat the leaves and don't eat the kernel out of the pit of peaches or apricots, cyanide isn't real good for you either even in small amounts.  Oh and don't eat the leaves of tomatoes and potatoes either.

[Stu Kettle]

Never thought rhubarb leaves looked tasty, but they are big enough that a guy could wrap food in them & roast it on coals.  Never tried it because I always heard they were poison & figured it wasn't worth the risk.

[Delmonico]

I wouldn't do it.

[Delmonico]

Just looked it up, causes respiratory problems and kidney failure.

[Texas Lawdog]

Major, Some folks should be seen and not heard. You cannot fix STUPID!

[Arcey]

I'd be polite ta the dude. Wouldn't get any deeper in conversation with 'im than 'is favorite color.

[Delmonico]

I'd look carefully at my money, doubt he's on the A Team, bet he's on the C or phoney money team. 

[Delmonico]

BTW, I just got carded at the store, I passed the test with just one piece of ID, Got my 5% off for Wed and Sr discount for being over 55.      I was ready to tell her i was in 1st grade at lunch when we heard about JFK, had to stay inside that day because it was raining.   

[Lucky Irish Tom]

I use the senior discount or veteran's discount whichever gets me the best deal Del. I normally ask if I can get both, most store clerks don't find that amusing.

[Major 2]

Glen... you had me to thinking...the JFK assassination ? I was in 9 grade science class ....

[Silver Creek Slim]

[Stu Kettle]

Thanks fer the coffee Slim.

Still drivin' the Wife to work. 'Spected it to get up to 40 degrees yesterday, would have gone a long way toward clearing the driveway, but it only made 22.

Saw something new this morning. The gas station in Madrid has an electronic sign that scrolls the time & temp, fuel prices, & whatever else they want to advertise. The morning it said the temp was -0   How much colder is that than +0?

As far as the Kennedy thing, I was in Freshman English class when the announcement came over the P.A. system. Spent the next period in the band room with a lot of crying females

[Texas Lawdog]

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. Victoria and I slept in this morning. The temp is 37, with a high of 54. The sun is out, but slow to warm up. I have some errands to run, it should be warmer by noon.
