Thanks again, Adie.

Wish my granmother in Worthington were still alive – I’d visit her and give you a call about the canning gear….

Hope this summer is a good one for you and your family, and the neighbor gets the help (a job? drug treatment? moving?) that would let you all live in peace.

posted long after the bell: what sweet thots. Thank you. I think we’ll be o.k. here. Head-of-household appears to have been absent several days next door, & lord-of-the-flies mentality took over for a bit amid the teen flock, but things appear settled now, and grandma’s back to keep order, as well as she can. Wouldn’t trade for her tough job for all the money in, well, China it is, now, I guess… thanks to jr. (i know, AND a bunch-a others)

My friends and I have long awaited the day when the masses would see Condi Rice for what she is; a presidentially appointed Lemming.

Like a trained monkey, she played the piano and while the organ-grinder (Bush/Rove Co.) collected funds from the admiring (special interest, no-bid contracting holding m-f) crowd. And what was her job again? National Security Advisor and Secretary of State!!!

As a Black Woman, i am just disgusted with her job performance ESPECIALLY because she knows first hand what it feels like to be completely disenfranchised; existing in a system where you’re at the bottom of the pecking order.

I guess she forgot her roots somewhere between the University of Denver and her conversion from Dem to Repub … but i digress.

Considering the state of our country today, I’d like everyone who’s every had a ‘performance review’ at work to seriously reflect upon the condition of our ‘national security’. How ARE our relations with other major countries (Australia and Papau New Guinea don’t count)? How would you rate Ms. Rice’s job performance in the past 6 years?

Incompetent Idiot – with blatant disregard for human lives … that sums it up for me.

(the shoe shopping after Katrina will NEVER be forgotten! – get your priorities straight you cold-hearted bitch!)

OT..Digby sums up how we got here:

I’m sure that in rarefied Big Money Republican circles there is a lot of soul searching going on about what went wrong. They are looking at Karl Rove and Dick Cheney and others and they are wondering which decisions and wrong turns were the ones that made the difference. But if they really want to know what the truly worst decision was they need look no further than the mirror. They foisted this fool on the world when they all went down to Texas and decided that it didn’t matter that he was completely unqualified by experience, temperament or intelligence — he could be president anyway.

And now they’re doing the same thing with Fred Thompson, aren’t they?

Power is an addictive narcotic.

CC -I got another one for your list:
G.W. Bush: AWOL and DWI- at a minimum.

Thanks. I think Cheney had a dui also.

Yep!

And another thing….

Question: Would YOU pay 50,000 to hear dumbya speak, they say? I could-a sworn the price tag’s been a whole lot higher than that, eh??!?! And, when were we ever asked, as if we had a choice??!

It’s been HIway robbrie by land and sea, but mostly aeroforced1! *bleghrts*

thanks katymine and ccmask!

ooh – and I’m so glad I didn’t sit down to can last night when I was tired.

looks I confused use of ascorbic acid to prevent browning (can do – or use citric acid)

with tools for adjusting acidity.

Thank you Adie and Lea (no uh) – if not for you, I’d already be goofing up!

Now off to buy lemons (can’t figure out where to get citric acid on a holiday in SF…)

Probably any full-service grocery store, in the canning aisle. Or, try a pharmacy(!) & tell em what it’s for. They might have it right handy in crystalized form for easy measuring.
