hee-hee, and Boxofrox, you should see the firing of rockets between HP-PC users and Mac-Apple users! hahaha! Another pretty hilarious topic! But speaking of landscaped gardens, I always argue with the rose organics people that it is your landscaped gardens which hold the ideal because you have beautiful varieties of plants which bring eco-balance and protection for the roses and supports wildlife like the birds. Whenever a garden only consists of roses, disease attacks uniformity. Again, your point that so many opinions to field, even color, LOL! Just as you say the lavenders to make our faces turn purple, hee-hee! or blackspot confusion to make us slip! Man, all those debates about blackspot that exist, heh-heh! Harold, bless! LOL! so funny! and bless every one of you! Boxofrox, Jim, Harold! Today I think I better stay with subjects like Adele's delicious Lemon pie and your Basil Pesto, Boxofrox's lovely Lyda-honey and bee-loved Sedum, and both Jim and I have chocolate stories of naughty dogs. Boxofrox, I bet your Fluffy Pom-poms are quite the angels and not the naughty Border Collie pup-type when growing up. Last night I wrote Jim this. We were actually originally talking about coconut husks and cocoa shells which are used as potting soil substitutes and the conversation gravitated to the dangers of chocolate/cocoa. Here is what I wrote: "(Eluane) was only 7-1/2 weeks old and at the carport at my apartment (when I used to live in apartments). Suddenly she ran a few yards away from me! I chased after her (amazing how fast a little puppy can run) and saw her mash her entire little face into this giant chocolate cupcake that was even bigger than the biggest Hostess Ho-Ho! I yelled in panic to James to grab her. But as soon as he let go of her to put into my car, that little puppy ran straight back to the giant chocolate cupcake and screeched with puppy frustration and anger when James chased after her and grabbed her before she could get to the cupcake. She was one mad puppy, wriggling and screeching away; she really wanted to eat that chocolate cupcake! ItÂs strange that dogs just instinctually know that chocolate is a very tasty treat. They can smell its yummy chocolate smell a few yards away even though theyÂve never tasted it. They just know that it is something that tastes good." To which Jim replied, "Candy ate over half of a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. it was on the table cooling and she climbed on to a chair and helped herself." All we have to do is throw in a few lemons and pesto noodles into our thread, LOL! Yum,yum, yum! Harold, I truly believe Candy would have helped herself to Adele's delicious Lemon pie too had she the chance. Instead of Chocolate Candy she would have been the ultimate Lemon "Candy". LOL! LOL! oooo, a Photobucket Pie, how about it? LOL!

IngredientsVegetable oil, for frying 2 lb clam strips 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup cornstarch ½ cup cornmeal ⅓ cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp curry powder ½ tsp celery salt ½ tsp cayenne ½ tsp salt Instructions Start by heating the canola oil in a pot over moderate heat until it reaches 380 degrees F. While the oil is being heated, rinse and drain the clam strips in a colander. Stir the clam strips together with buttermilk in a large bowl. Drain the clam strips well in a colander. Let them set over a bowl for at least 5 minutes. In another bowl stir together the cornstarch, cornmeal, flour, curry powder, celery salt, cayenne, and salt. Dredge a handful of drained clams in the flour mixture then shake in a large sieve to remove excess flour. Transfer the clams one by one in a baking sheet and then shake them again to remove any excess flour mixture. Fry the coated clams until they're crisp and golden for about 1 ½ minutes. Then, transfer them onto some paper towels with a slotted spoon for draining. Afterward, sprinkle them with salt to taste. Serve with some potato fries and your desired dipping sauce, and enjoy! should be close

nah..lets stay on the same thread. I wouldn't put R-6 unfaced ductwrap. without a vapor barrier. the vb is to keep the insulation clean & dry. wet insulation loses it's R-value. hold out for the 4' wide R-8 usually 50' long. (R-4 is 4x100'. R-6 is 4x75'. R-8 is 4x50') keeping it all the same shipping rate. don't buy the unfaced. even if they have to order the R-8 faced wrap...its worth the wait. and if you have unopened roll they should take it back. on the bag the wrap comes in is the lenghts you cut for what size ducts. usually adding 4-6" including the lap (without insulation to fasten) will work. but check the bag, incase I don't find my table for that. materials you need from supply house are: wrap fsk tape (foil scrim kraft) to seal stapled seams duct stapler (a must have) duct staples duct strap & sheet metal screws paint mastic & brushes mastic tape. keep the length of each install the width of the roll 4'. that the ends butt and overlap is very important. I usually have a roll of duct tape handy (don't tell!) when first putting the wrap on the duct, you'll need something to hold it in place. use 5-6" lengths of duct tape to tape start end of wrap to duct, then wrap the rest of the wrap around the duct, overlap..staple, fsk tape, staple tape. staple overlap over butt end..staple, fsk tape, staple fsk tape. move to next 4" section. once you've worked you way back to main supply (where all ducts are taken off) add screws to make sure all is attached well. keep strapping to sheet metal you'll cut the wrap to go around this as you wrap. the take offs on the supply is where I find the mastic tape to be most useful. sticks well to clean dry surfaces, and once pressed into place will last as long as paint mastic. that it makes sheetmetal to wood, paper, foam sheathing..and many materials makes it worth the cost. sometimes ease of install is what you need, and Hardcast #1402 Mastic Tape is the best product. cut your wrap to lenghts needed. you'll cut out for ducts once wrap is in place before securing. make sure that wrap is cut to fit tight to the duct take off. the wrap on the duct itself should be in contact with main supply duct and wrap for main supply goes over the supply duct wrap. staple & mastic seal. where the supply duct meets the equipment..this should be mastic sealed as well. then use the mastic tape to seal both supply & return ducts (if this applies). two things... you may hesitate at forking out $50 for a duct stapler..but the wrap will NOT stay in place long term without it. also strapping ducts is very important. you want this job to last 30+ years, gravity is the enemy. the mastic you bought dries fairly quickly? run the heat..it will help it. any questions? and btw...if you can learn to do this correctly do a job for someone else..pay for all your materials (the duct stapler) & make a few bucks. I usually charge $2k for 9 supply ducts supply plenum & return. let me know when you are ready for the sealing of the supply box from inside the house. if y'all have questions..just post. best of luck.

Fish sticks. The 'hot dog' from the sea. What's in those things anyway? Fish heads and fins - all held together with salt and grease as glue. Oh how I remember having to force those things down every Friday when I was a kid. I could never understand the rule having to be punished by eating fish sticks on Fridays. Then when I was older I learned that the rule was to eat fish on Friday not fish sticks. My mother thought fish was too expensive to serve. I think fish sticks were a dollar for ten pounds back then. They stunk like fish but tasted like putting a penney in your mouth. They always had freezer burn. My mother only ever bought canned veggies so the fish sticks really brought out the metallic taste of the canned stuff served with them too, so the whole meal was ruined.
