Could it be that those who report the news are so removed from their food that they haven't seen any of it in it's natural state? A few days ago I checked out my groceries, which included a cucumber. The sweet young thing checking me out looked at it, turned it over, looked at the price-list, wondered aloud whether it was a zucchini. Told it was a cuke, she said: "oh, that's what they look like" Fellow behind me in line laughed and said: "well, if it isn't microwaveable, they really can't name it"

So now we know. I see some big eyes in the background, Fun photo.

Patti, we have green eggs in Amarillo because my friend sold me fresh eggs and asked if I have a problem with green eggs. Some of her customers did not want the green ones. I find that funny as the green eggs cooked and tasted like the brown and white ones. :) Brenda, the egg lady, knows the breed names of her chickens, but I don't recall the names she told me.

He will call you and apologize in some way. He won't acknowledge anything, but he will say something like he did not mean to break up with you. Or after breaking up he realizes how much he misses you and how much you mean to him. Please don't give in. Don't fall for it. Don't answer his calls or emails. Please do not send him this thread. It will only fuel his fire that he will again direct at you. You don't need this. You don't need him. Stop trying to convince yourself that you do. Stop trying to figure out your part in this, you did not ask for it. Your role was dictated by him as his target. The more you think about him, the more you talk about the situation, the more you are trying to convince yourself of something, but there is nothing. The more you convince yourself, the more vulnerable you will be and likely to give in and give him another chance. You will only be asking for what you get at that point, and there truly will be more to come. Stop being hurt. That was his intention, so don't allow him any more control over you. Find something to occupy your time to get him off your mind. You were duped into investing yourself, your life, your feelings into this man. Don't do it to yourself this time. Just move on.
