"It's a family event with caffeine available."

That's what I thought I just heard on TV. I thought, Man, caffeine must be awfully important to some people.

But what she actually said was, "It's a family event with camping available."

LOL!

Well, it truly could be as you saw it.....some family events really could use a shot of caffeine!

I know that I need to drink something to get thru some family events, Alisande. rofl Caffeine wouldn't be MY choice.

It's funny how you hear things differently from what is actually said. We crack ourselves around here a lot, getting things all wrong.

Market events that work
Q
Comments (8)
Not having enough experience to say from personal experience, but I would imagine that ethnic "festivals", Mexican, Caribbean, Italian, etc., etc., might work - you (market vendors) do or can grow most of the ingredients needed, esp. with enough lead time. I doubt the market is drawing much, or is even open, for strawberry festivals, or early spring crops like asparagus, but what about the other fruits - apples, blueberries, and the other berry fruits - raspberry, gooseberry, etc., etc.? Another option might be for melons, or sweet corn (yes, I know the last is almost a non-starter due to grocery store availability, but just tossing out ideas). If there are flower growers, what about having the local garden clubs do a flower arranging "contest", including a class for the customer/amateur to enter on the day - or say that ALL arrangements must be made up from materials available on the day, containers supplied by the market or the arranger, and maybe limit the amount of flowers to $X, or to 2 bunches, etc. etc. You might have to provide greenery and filler material.... If it's done right, you might have mini-demos.... I would probably come for most of these ideas, and if they are well advertised, and sound enticing and welcoming...

It's not the number of beds but the large loss of planting bed area that got my attention. Yes, there are some new beds, but they don't come close to making up for the loss. Also, the teeny tiny seedling trees planted way to close to other stuff don't come near making up for the large beautiful trees they chopped down and threw out. I'm all for progress, but adding concrete "art" and planting grass where full beds once stood isn't even close to my idea of progress. I know many others also feel this way. Maybe there is a long term plan that will make the garden better in the long run, but I don't see much sign of it currently.

I have been sick. DD, in a moment of tenderness, brushed my hair back and said "Mommy, you look paler than a baby sea arse".

Horse. Baby sea HORSE.

Gotta love that spongebob ROFL.

They used to advertise the lap band here but that is not what I heard "If you need to lose weight use the lap dance" that would get my head turning.

Dances and Waddles, those are funny!

Hmmm . . . dances and waddles sounds like a pregnant woman at a wedding.

Years ago I worked with a woman who was constantly suffering from sinus infections. Finally her doc sent her to an ENT who did surgery to clean out this woman's sinus cavities. I had told my husband about it and contemplated the fact that someday I might need to have that done to my left sinuses (right side is fine - left side is always "stuffy").

One day we're in the car, driving up Highway 50 to Apple Hill, and my nose was really bothering me. Hubs said to me that perhaps now was the time for me to ask my doc about the surgery. I said, "What surgery?" (it had been a number of years since we had discussed my former coworker's sinus infections). He replied, "You know -- the one where they remount your nose."

"What?? Remount my nose?!?"

Hubs had said "ream out" as in "clean out" and I'd heard "remount." I had visions of the doc lifting my nose up off my face and then putting it back down in a slightly different location...

We both started laughing hysterically. I'm sure the other motorists on the road thought we were nuts.

Lindsey, did you have it done??? My left side is a horrible mess. The MD just says "not much room int here, huh?".

Janie,

No, I haven't had it done. I probably should, but I keep hoping that it's just a "simple little sinus infection" that the right antibiotics will clear up.
