This thread is split off from the "what happened to the forum"...
Patrick's right ( did I say that?) :P That was a bad title to a whole section on the yummy goodness of eating "Stickers"...
(http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/marshalette/184.gif)
So continue to post about.......well...whatever in the hell this whole thread is about..
Which I don't know if anyone actually knows..

Frank, in case you missed it - NEITHER of the Clintons are running for ANY political office and NEITHER of their names will be on the ballot. GET OVER IT - MOVE ON - quit stirring the turd cause it is really starting to stink. AND time for me to get out of politics again
If anybody should be upset, it should be me, I really didn't pay that much attention to the above post. However the poster is apparently helping with the Legion Breakfast and I decided I had better not attend as I might get something bad in my breakfast.
"Uncle Frank"! I thought we had this discussion before (insert wagging finger here)... I thought we agreed that we'd both stay out of politics and our lives would be better off?? I know I've stuck to that, and I feel better! ;)
Come on out to the Coffee Shop and stay a while. We've got enough debate on schools and old buildings and customer service to keep your blood at a luke-warm level, without boiling it over! :angel:
And you can come to my house for breakfast if you're worried... I serve hot coffee and cold grapenuts (with strawberries)... around 9-ish! :D
Thanks Tobina, that is really good advice, even my wife thinks I get to wrapped up in politics. I love my children and Grandchildren so much and I worry so much about their future it makes it difficult to do or say nothing when I see what is happening on the political front. Have a great day.
I love Grape-Nuts

Aww, Frank, come on and have breakfast. I promise not to stir your coffee with my finger, :angel: cause I know you are diabetic and can't have that much sugar. ;D
Grape nuts? You talkin' about Grape Nuts Flakes the breakfast cereal? Or is there something natural that I've been missing all these years?
Scoot over Frank. I'll be joining you for breakfast.

Breakfast at 9ish????????, we have breakfast at 5:30ish to 6ish!!!!, Grape-Nut Flakes???????, my wife is an old country gal and I don't think she even knows how to fry Grape-Nut Flakes. You come to our house and bring your husband and I will make a batch of Fried Bread for Breakfast, it will be like nothing you have ever had, it is an old family recipe that my dad made for our family for breakfast at family gatherings. Whenever my kids and Grandkids come home to visit we always ask them what they want us to fix for them while they are here and for the breakfast menu, Fried Bread is at the top of the list, that and my homemade biscuits and cinnamon rolls. Breakfast at 9ish, when I was in grade school I started milking at 5ish every morning, WOW times have changed on the farm.
Tobina in all seriousness I am going to try to avoid the Politics section more, that is where the meanest, most insensitive, most nasty,foul , ornery,rotten, interesting, fun, oh forget that I don't think I can stay away from it, we have to save America. I am so wrapped up in the election I put in a new doorbell that plays a bar of the "National Anthem" very loud, and I put a big metal sign up high above my Garage doors that says "GOD BLESS AMERICA". I bought the doorbell because the guy that sold it to me told me it would keep Obama away from my door.
Have a great day.
Hey, fried bread is also one of my family's favorite breakfast foods along with German Pancakes.Any chance of getting you to post that old family secret recipe for fried bread? All this talk of breakfast is making me hungry time to have some late lunch. :P
David
Yes, please post the recipe...either here or on the antique recipes thread. I'd love to see it..and try it, too~
No, just plain Grape Nuts. The kind that looks like stickers. And they swell in your belly if you eat too many. Although the Grape Nuts Trail Mix is pretty darn good, too. I've not had the flakes (and not sure they could be fried?).
Yeah, I'm not a morning person anymore. My husband doesn't eat breakfast (unless you count sweet tea and cookies as breakfast), so I got off the hook when I married him. I "can" get up early if I have to... but I usually choose not to. Joys of working from home. I'm stocking up on my sleep before I have kids. Besides, I also have to have at least 1 cup of coffee before I eat breakfast. So once I'm done with that and my first round of e-mails, then I break for breakfast (and sometimes that's even 10-ish!!) ;)
But I'd get up early for fried bread, maybe. I'll leave the doors unlocked; holler when it's ready. ;D
(I make myself sound bad.. I do make waffles on the weekends... sometimes.) :P
Wow, I agree with Frank. I can't imagine breakfast at 9"ish." But then again, I bet Tobina can't imagine that I get up at 4 am 7 days a week. And I only have to work 4 days a week. Sometimes folks at work laugh because I eat my lunch around 10 or so. What I try to explain to them is that when they get to work at 8:00 a.m. they usually eat lunch around 12:00 (4 hours). Well, I get to work between 5:30a.m. and 6:00 so 4 hours later is 10:00. Sounds logical to me. :-)

Having worked at Mills Feed and Supply some in the past, I never could understand how Post's Grape Nuts and Purina's four gram per pound chlorotetracyclene (CTC) feed additive could look and smell exactly the same.

I am going to call them stickers from now on.
In fact, I had sausage and eggs this morning but I could have had a bowl of stickers.. ;D ;D ;D
I love stickers and mini bales of hay. hahahahahahahahahaha -- and all of you that know me ---I LOVE Food *** period !!!!
Apparently, everyone got hungry for Grape Nuts, as the shelf in Batson's was empty on Friday!
Yeah, I stay up until 11 or 12 each night, too. Maybe that's why I'm a late riser. ::)
See? Advertising works! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

We are complaining about the forum while on the forum.
The forum needs to get over its self. The title of this thread is bogus. The forum must be fluid. Nothing has "happened" when you have the inmates running the asylum. Do you want the same old same old same old same old all the time? You have to have more than one opinion or it doesn't work. It is boring when all the threads are in agreement.
Think of this as electronic road rage.
If you keep complaining about the other side you might as well run for congress you will get as much done there.
Let people post what they want and react to what they say. Call them a name if you want. It is a free country. If they get mad and quit posting so be it. Grow up.
I know that there are some pretty thin skins on here. What do you do at yield signs?
Stereotyping on a computer blog is kind of redundant.
Don't you want to change, grow, and feel what the rest of the world has to say.
How can you do that if you censor the responses? You get canned answers to rhetorical questions.
Isn't that the point?
At yield signs, I yield....why? Around here with all our traffic, if one doesn't yield one might end up in my ambulance! :P
QuoteDon't you want to change, grow, and feel what the rest of the world has to say.
Yes yes I do! That is why I'm here and why I'm several other places as well. If ya don't step out of your comfort zone how are you supposed to learn anything?

Just like ONE big happy???!!! Family..........we all have oppions (I think that is wrong spelling Oh well) and we all love to share them..............ok, some more than others.....but if you aint happy we will miss you when you leave.......but, we will get use to it...........we all love being here or we WOULD not be here.
There, I have spoken my thoughts......time to get busy.........been on here to long and my tail is growing to the chair.
Hugs..........Judy

Thank you very very much Patrick...(http://www.rightnation.us/forums/style_emoticons/default/kiss3.gif)
There has many times I've wondered if it all was worth it.
Teresa, "for what it's worth," I really do enjoy the forum, for reading about what's happening in the area, and what's about to happen. I am not one who enjoys "bickering," so, I don't involve myself in that. I started reading the Forum, and joined up soon after, when the floods were hitting the area a year ago in June/July. It was great, to have the up to minute reports of what was happening. It's a great way to have instant communication, and I enjoy that, a lot. We receive the paper a couple of weeks late, due to the distance it has to travel (approximately 1,628 miles!) so I appreciate reading about what is happening "now," with this instant communication ability.
So, keep up the good work. I just wanted you to know that I do appreciate your efforts.
what do you mean "what has happend to this forum" i have been on this forum for 5 or 6 month's now and never have I doubted old elkie this one of the most usefull place's and im glad to be a member so no i havent a slightest idea of this place going anywhere but up :) go Elk County Forum
Heather, your spelling has improved a 1000 percent, keep up the good work.

I agree Bonnie! And I really appreciate it when folks post current happenings like what the sirens are for and what's going on in town. I don't have a scanner nor do I get to the coffee shop and feel like I'm missing out on a lot. When is Howard's coffee time? Maybe I just need to make a point to be there... I do love coffee! I could take a notebook and write down what's happening then email it off to Rudy... 8) I would not be any good at calling folks, so I didn't volunteer on his post; but I could keep up with the morning gossip. Of course, everyone would have to introduce themselves to me since I only know a few people here very well... and I tend to get siblings/ cousins/ parents all mixed up even with the folks I do know... ::)
Now, I'm just kidding folks... I think... :-X
But seriously, thanks for posting what's happening NOW when you do so.
Rudy, Bonnie just volunteered but she hasn't realized it yet.
Yes! Bring your news to me, and I'll e-mail it to Rudy!
Or, I think Joanna might have a better chance of gathering up the news, at the Coffee shop! That would be a very good way to become acquainted with a lot of people.
You have to get up so early. Then deal with all the traffic. The coffee is never decaf. They don't even have a espresso machine. Wait I forgot where I was for a minute.......Coffee is at ten. Even Tobina is up by then.
Where is the coffee pot?
I have thought about driving to Howard one day and maybe making plans for as many of us to get together as possible......not sure where yet. It won't be soon, as I have several matters I need to take care of this month.
Maybe if all is well when Howard has the street fair I can come up......will see.
Here in Longton, the day starts at 8 at the cafe.
I don't always get up there as mornings are tough on my body (also I am busy posting on here and you would all have to wait till I got home to read the updates)
I do try to get to cafe around 11:30 or so and visit with the noon crowd that comes in.
For local gossip it has to be the morning crowd.....and on Saturday mornings it is a slightly different crowd of people.
All are welcome and if a newbie,........ you will be talked about, meaning someone will look at someone else and say, "Who is that" and if the person is known will be greated by name.........you will get a "Good morning"
This is a very good place to BLOW ones morning. LOL. I mean the Forum, not the cafe..........altho that isn't a bad place to spend time.........LOL.

Yeah, that's why I can only "dream" of starting up a coffee shop. Zzzzz. I'd definately have to put "9-ish" on my hours sign. AND we'd serve Grape Nuts, but they'd be called "Stickers" on the menu! ;-)
Tobina, I think you should get with Post Cereal Company and suggest they name them "STICKERS" or do an ad campaign on it, I think it would boost their sales big time. I had never heard them called Stickers until you did. They are a little like Sand Burrs.
Frank
The sign on the highway says that Toots is open at 6. But if the light is one the coffee is hot. Most generally get there by 4:30 - 5 for the first shift. They get the undisturbed newsprint. The second shift starts a little later around 5:45-6 usually the workers that start at 7 they get a shuffled paper and maybe a little gossip by then. The third wave comes in while the students are cautiously driving to school.
I have eaten breakfast in every town within 100 miles of here and I would have to put Louise's up against anything. I may not be good at a lot of things but I know my vittles. She puts a scald on a mean piece of ham. Eggs that are just fluffy enough to satiate the most carefull denture wearer. But the piece de resistance is the way she perfectly browns the hashbrowns. Not too burnt but not too raw. You should also check out the basket o' hot sauces. It grows as to be as diverse as the clientel.
TOOTS RULZ
Still think this is a stupid thread.
I agree Pep, the true test of a good breakfast spot is the perfectly crisp, browned hashbrowns made from fresh potato. Peppers, onion, cheese to taste.
David
I posted at the first of this thread.. but some won't see it.. so I am splitting "What happened to the forum"...To this thread.
Should have called it ....... Eating Stickers!! ;D ;D
Teresa the Thread to Nowhere is a brilliant title. When ever we get off topic anywhere just cut and past it to the end of this thread. How long would it take us to notice that it was a collection of all our off topic posts and not one continuous coherent thread. :laugh: I promise to try and curtail my off topic posts so we don't put you through this drudgery. I swear it would become the funniest best reading on the forum. it should be a "sticky" at the top of the forum.
David
it should be a "sticky" at the top of the forum.Did someone say "Sticky"?
I think that sounds like a gooey sweet roll.......and maybe would jam up the computer keys........in my case it would
bring on the ants........
I like the Thread to Nowhere.........after all most of us are here and really understand the point.
Oh, pass the namkins ( meant napkins, but that sounded good so I will leave it) and I need a refill on my coffee.
Hugs, Judy
Finally, a place for us "Radomites" to hang out!
Where I grew up, stickers and sand burrs were 2 different types of pains in the foot. Sand burrs are the fuzzy ones that get caught in your shoelaces. Stickers have larger burs on them and they tend to break off within the foot... causing great pain and tears as your mom digs around with a pin to get it out. Grape Nuts look more like the stickers to me. Until they sit in milk long enough and swell up. It takes me a long time to get through a box of Grape Nuts; you don't have to eat very many at a time!
We always called the nasties in the shoe laces "stick tights" and the painful ones were sand burrs. to each his own... Stickers were for things like hedge trees and thistles and those awful things with yellow flowers that pretend to be watermelon plants when they are small (I learn something new almost every day since I came to Howard)
It was a shock to me to find out that that pretty ferny looking little plant in the spring turns into NASTY honking 8 foot tall weeds that are covered in stick tights later in the year. Hemlock. Oh how I hate that stuff!
Oh! And I love Grape Nuts too, and will call them Stickers from now on because it's just cool.
Ha! I'm having a funny time with this! I just learned about "stick tights" when moved here. My definition is the flat burrs that look like a cucumber seed and almost embed themselves in your shoelaces. They don't necessarily hurt like sand burrs, but are irritating. I don't think I ever realized which plant they came from, though.
Yeah, maybe I don't remember the nasty weeds in NW KS because I didn't do much gardening (my mom did), but man there are some big, ugly weeds around here. I HATE johnson grass! Just when you think you get it killed, it comes back! And the roots are always there... deep in the ground... just waiting for a good time to pop up...
Then there's those nasty locust (sp?) trees! They've sent Chuck to the hospital a couple of times already. I guess some people are highly allergic to the barbs.
You or Chuck ever got caught horseback playing in the brush with one of those thorny grape vine things? It cuts you then pulls you off the horse. About the time you get it untwisted from you legs the horse spookes and cuts its self.
All TREES MUST DIE.....Hedge trees are way worse than Johnson Grass........
Where did this thread start and where is it going? What happened to the skidloader olympics for the river festival? Did someone not get the memo? I also want a new crash em up event. Maybe Tahoe's!!!
Hey PEP, I did get pulled off a horse. We were out foxhunting and I took the wrong side of a tree. The wild cucumber wrapped around me with those thorns and slid me right off the backside. Daisey took a few steps and stopped and looked around at me hanging there and stood waiting for me. Some friends had to cut me down. :laugh: :laugh:
Grape Nuts just plain rock! I ate them for lunch nearly every day for a year (yes, I'm weird that way). I'm amazed I didn't grind my molars completely flat.
Raise your hand if you remember Euel Gibbons asking if we "evah et a pine tree?"
I have my hand up. "Tastes like wild hickory nuts." I still have a book of his around here somewhere.

If you like them as cereal which is great.............I put them in yoghurt and on my ice cream.........kind of like Brown Bread (remember) use to taste.
and if you let it absorb for a bit.............they do soften up.
YUM YUM,
I think that is what I will have for lunch.....my tummy is still slightly upset and yoghurt will not hurt.....may help.
Euel Gibbons??? Isn't he the one that ate "high bush cranberries"?
Judy; I LOVE grapenuts in yogurt! I've never had them in ice cream, though... hmmm...
PEP; I've never got knocked totally off, but almost. That's how Chuck broke his hand (again) back in May... he got swiped off his horse by a hedge limb and hit his hand on a rock. If he'd tried to catch himself, he would have broke his wrist or arm, I'm sure. It just re-chipped a bone in his hand.
