Aaaaaarrrrrrrgh! Kat, you are too seductive for words!

<<<Why am I doing this? Why am I doing this?>>>

Oceans, the Pavlovian Dog

thursday afternoon!


Oceans,
hmmmm salt mines???
"not worth his salt"
"salt of the earth"

seems this salt you mine has value....success

KariZ...

poffertjes are little poofy balls of light dough quickly tossed into a
griddle full of little holes, a little like a huge waffel maker, but
with circles
and then quickly turned over with a special little tong to deliver you
a plate full of little delights
a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with powdered
sugar on top and stroop

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrgh! Stop it! Stop it, you sugar dealers!

Hie thee to thy collective dietary nunneries!



Oceans

Mmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have to make waffles

My God! Et tu, Andrea?



Oceans the Plumpification Target

well, I can swap with Alex

She gets some of my waffles and I get Poffertjes

I didn't have Poffertjes for ages

Alex

i actually don't eat them that often they are more traditionally eaten
in winter.

i kinda OD'd on donuts

i'm gonna stick to the fruit on the market for awhile.


listen to us!! i get uncomfortable with indulgence, which is really an
oxymoron...

i am still astonished at the abundance and the choice and the luxury of
being able to have pretty much anything you want available so easily.

when just a few hours away is a desperation unfathomable burning as we
sit here and talk about poffertjes.

i am 'in it' today so bear with... i am not in protest ,so don't
misunderstand, it's just that no matter which way i turn i am still
here....lmao

I know

There is a sickness of the stomach that just doesn't go away that easy.
I have that fairly often lately and I do think I know how you
feel.

Me too...

But we are still the only ones who can boss us about, no? So let's make
the best of it. There is a hurting world to tend to, and a great future
to create. The creation will take dedication, skill and discipline....

This I believe.



Oceans

Daaaaaang...took the feel good right out of my snickerdoodle and coffee.
I don't indulge myself often, except for my internet. And it's my only
outlet.
I'm crippled right now.(not physically) There isn't much I can do for
anyone. Does mowing my neighbors lawn count? I just did it. I was mowing
mine and his was handy.(I mow in the early mornings, by the way.)
Alex, what can a simple poor woman do to contribute? I am serious. I
have no money, I have nothing of value. I'm open to ideas. I wish I
could make a difference.

Oceans,Invisable and Blant I find your conversations quite intreging. I
have read the whole of the forum and have myself many oppinions, but for
now will observe for I find the truth is not far away.
I myself lived in Medinah,Saudi Arabia 83-92 have traveled throughout
the middle-eastern countries and have experienced proproganda in many
forms.
Actually was thought about crossing over into Israel at one time, the
bridge at Jordan, but two chidlren were of Saudi decent would not be
allowed by the Saudi regime to cross. Paperwork you know, so I took a
river more traveled crossed over into upper Egypt on a overloaded ferry,
crossed under the Suez and into Ciaro where we were finally free.
Just wanted to add I have been there and have many personal feelings
about the political wares of this "war".
I would love to sit with all of you perhaps on a balcony overlooking the
Nile and brush up on my points of views.
Keep up the great work, you are informative and to the point in more
ways than one.
I will be reading and learning as I go along, been a while since I have
read truths and felt twangs of anger about all the horrors that have
never been seen by most American hearts and eyes.
I will have a little tea with cream please. Jade

Ahlan biki, Jade.

It sounds like you have had quite a life! I hope you will begin to post
when you feel comfortable. You will be very welcome here.

I do like the idea of a balcony overlooking the Nile. Zamalek is my
preference. I know, decadent!

Again, ahlan wa sahlan.

Oceans

ahlan wa sahlan!!

i will tell you ...i have a bloody tongue.



[from biting it]....

Oceans, I do believe my answer would be ahlan biki and your ahlan bik bu
that is a much as I know, moreover I spoke Arabic from the Quaran.
Asalam a lakum and so on. I have reservations of getting to far into
this as much as invisible does, to many prejudices can arise that I am
overcoming at this time.
I too, enjoyed Zamalek and have spent many nights gambling at the
Marriot and have enjoyed shows at the Gezira.
Remember when you could just drive up to the pyramids and those little
shops below? I miss those days. Jade

I still want to sit on my fingers.

I have been in soooo many websites today.

And the horror is making me sick, I want to cry out, and I can't.
And want to say so many things, but I rather be silent because
what ever I say now, I will be biased by what I've seen and read.

Bl8ant ahlan wa sahlan
I have to admit that is a paste, I take it from your writings you are
near some of the devistation but not quite sure as to where. Are you
near the sirens, I will never forget them nor my children. Gas masks are
something that Americans are not use to living with beyond thier site, I
remeber always having them in sight and having to put them on my five
year old. Now that is part of war that here in the states most cannot
relate to. Jade

Hi, Jade!

'biki' for a woman, 'bik' for a man....

Yes I know the 'Maryut' well and love the courtyard, and the biladi
women making the bread right then and there....

Yum!

The pyramids....lost in the haze and pollution. I do remember when it
was in the desert, a distance from Cairo. Now, it is a long drive
through crowded residential areas and I feel has lost its grandeur and
sense of timelessness. Last time I went I was just saddened, though I
have friends out there who are always delighted to show me their latest
finds.

Well, you must know the spice market near Khan al-Khalili, and
Fishawie's, and the area behind al-Azhar...and, and, and...

Oceans

Jade, right now i am in Amsterdam, we were speaking of the last conflict
there in 2006...i don't think there was ever a moment without sirens
...somewhere...i remember when i was on the airplane home and i was so
physically affected by the shift from a constant siren to the thunder of
the engines and the wind it hit me in the solar plexus and the sounds of
the sirens became the cries of those i left and even now, all sirens
,are them, calling me to come home

Dont go bl8ant, Its not safe. I feel another round of mass killings is
not far off there. One that the whole country will feel, like in the
70's and 80's.

sorry, but my sympathy lies completely with the israelis on this one. if
the palestinians put their arms down and stopped firing rockets
indiscriminantly into populated areas, stopped bombing buses, markets
and restaurants and simply put their efforts into making a nice life for
themselves, then the conflict would be over.

the israelis have put down their arms repeatedly but just get attacked
over and over again by terrorists using the most despicable methods
possible - methods such as restaurant bombings and untargeted rocket
attacks on civilians which are in any reasonable persons judgement - war
crimes imho

for the sake of balance in these arguments - i suggest reading the
excellent israeli perspective on the conflict found here:
