You've got to watch out for MySpace as well--there was an incident at my daughter's school where a girl made up a page, included her name, her friend's full names, and lied about her age.

It does not. But tumeric and many ground spices are not water-soluble, so use a bit of oil or spray of Pam to toast the spice/s for a minute to release the oils and the bitterness,(a "tarka")then you can add oil, water or whatever. It's gorgeously orange-yellow and always looks fancy.Bebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430209496412857460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1140550135149153332006-02-21T11:28:00.000-08:002006-02-21T11:28:00.000-08:00I never had Indian food until we moved here, and i...I never had Indian food until we moved here, and it is really one of my faves now... <BR/><BR/>made tacos tonight, they were yummy too...ipodmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581681803719510867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1140545960348981542006-02-21T10:19:00.000-08:002006-02-21T10:19:00.000-08:00hi granny, just dropping by to see what you're up ...hi granny, just dropping by to see what you're up to. what is the racecar site, that i should be aware of for future reference with my little computer genius?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1140533779130197762006-02-21T06:56:00.000-08:002006-02-21T06:56:00.000-08:00Once more comment on filtering...

There was a series of commercials for (iirc) Carl's Jr. with a guy in a grocery store, looking at two packages of meat and becoming increasingly paniced (panicked?). Eventually, he just drops them and runs. The tag line comes on "Without us, some guys would starve."<BR/><BR/>Everyone has something they just don't grok (ask Ray). For me, it's construction and auto mechanics. I understand the concept of how the internal combustion engine works, but when I open the bonnet, it looks nothing like the drawings I've seen in books. I have specifically been forbidden to work on cars by my mechanic. And if we didn't have a picture rail, I wouldn't be able to hang a picture. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I have friends who are great at those things, but constantly call me to ask what I would consider simple, basic questions about their computers. <BR/><BR/>I can cook, but a lot of people who are into computers can't. We all have our weaknesses; it makes no sense to ridicule another's.<BR/><BR/>As for porn, there's a lot out there that isn't realistic and that, for the most part, is due to our completely wacked ideas on sex. Sex is bad, but look at that scantilly clad model selling things. Everywhere you turn, there are images of sex -- cheerleaders, models, phallic symbols -- and yet we're constantly told to abstain, that sex is bad, don't even talk about it! Heaven forbid anyone actually ever *see* a naked body! (outside a strip club or dirty movie, of course.)<BR/><BR/>My kids are going to grow up knowing that clothes are for warmth and protection from the elements and nothing more. They see me naked all the time (not Rachel so much) and will continue to do so. Sex is something that people do, both for procreation and recreation, but I'll be honest with you, given the choice of having sex or say, going rock climbing or scuba diving or something like that, I'll take the latter most times. (Except maybe if there are lesbians involved, but that's Archie Bunker's fault.) <BR/><BR/>Personally, I can't watch porno movies -- I can't stomach the bad acting and idiotic plots long enough to get to the, ah, climax, if you will. (Sorry) Pictures have never done much for me in that area, but erotic literature is okay, if written well -- I've even tried my hand at it, which is kinda cool. Mostly, though, if you need that sort of thing, there's an awful lot missing in your life that has nothing to do with sex. (Oh, and as a footnote, women are more -- attractive? exciting? titillating? whatever -- dressed nicely than they are naked.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1140524532800651442006-02-21T04:22:00.000-08:002006-02-21T04:22:00.000-08:00Hi Granny!

I don't know if it is the English language environment of the Internet (Turkish kids will go to just a few sites, in Turkish, that they know, and do a lot of messaging with friends) or if it is that everyone lives in apartments so they are rarely left alone for long (Turks dislike being alone as a general rule). They certainly know about porn but it doesn't seem to be the constant problem that it is back home. We watch American teen comedies and she and her friends ask me if teenagers really are that sex crazed and sexally active and that rude to their parents...sigh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1140514946548502902006-02-21T01:42:00.001-08:002006-02-21T01:42:00.001-08:00Just getting started at work. *Sigh*Had to pop in ...Just getting started at work. <BR/>*Sigh*<BR/><BR/>Had to pop in and check any new posts on Roc Rebel G, and as usual you didn't disappoint me. <BR/><BR/>You did the right thing regarding Rebecca, and you're right in your thinking as well. Each to his or her own regarding porn but it should be labelled as such so as parents can protect their children from it. After all, when people are adults they can make their own decisions, but when they're as young as your three, the parent is in charge and has to be responsible for their well-being.<BR/><BR/>Sweet dreams, anyway, Ann.

If someone invents a technology to prevent, then another 5 will try breaking it or invent a counter technology to beat the system. To top it all, as generations pass, kids are getting smarter. they know faaaar more than us. why go that far? just look at two class ooms of children differing in 1yr in age- the 'gap' is astounding!!! I just makes rearing kid a more responsible and difficult and essentialy scary job. hats off to all the parents in the world! <BR/>Yesss! I finally went to a trek and it was fun. Do you let the kids out on some out door activities, granny? i think it adds a lot to individual development. I was more of the inactive kinds when i was a kid. :) <BR/>We indians use a dash of turmeric in almost any curry. studies show that it has the power to fight cancer. will mail you some recipes. By the way do you use pressre cookers there?Neetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278161144375450729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1140514635999598072006-02-21T01:37:00.000-08:002006-02-21T01:37:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Neetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278161144375450729noreply@blogger.com
