    Very similar. The music plays as you pass the hot potato, remember it is hot so you cannot hold it that long. The one caught loses. Just like musical chairs but with Magpie, I mean a potato.

    I like hot potato, I only played it once, but I think I could give you guys a run for your money. As for sailing, I am not sure about that. I mean I have been to Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and both the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, however I have never been sailing. I might like it, as long as I can nap. It seems cool, and I think it would be fun to sail the pacific northwest, boy it's really beautiful up there, so who knows, the only problem is that I sail the S.S. Cardboard.

    Its funny, you just named almost all the places I have sailed with the exception of a few big rivers (granted the Detroit River is just a skinny part of Lake St. Clair but the Intracoastal counts as a real river). And you solve the sailing deal as a young person by offering to crew on the SS Realthang and put up with whoever is funding that junket as Captain until you can afford it yourself!

    Where is da Mag with doze taters? :cool:

    I am getting hungry for tatoes...

    I lived on Lake Michigan, Erie, Huron and Superior as a child...

    Well, yeah, I am still a child... at least that is what some people tell me.

    I lived on Lake Michigan for most of my life, (choking back the memories) the calming affect of that much water is no joke. One of the only things I miss from a previous life. Enough of the sloppy stuff, lets get to the game and I'm ready to drive one of those taters, the beef is ready. Don't forget the ice cream yyyymmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    I have been to Lake Superior, quite a few times. My family is kind of spread out through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois, and South Dakota. Then the majority of the rest in Washington and Arizona. But I lived for 13 years in South Dakota, and we lived like just under a half an hour to the Minnesota border, and besides St.Paul and Minneapolis we liked to vacation on Lake Superior. It was some small resort, that was actually really really beautiful, it was up near duluth.Anyways,can some one pass me a tater.

    Hey wizz, as far as that 53 car pile up goes, there could have been a cow or two and at least one goat involved. Seems I remember some chickens as well. But it was nasty, real nasty. Speaking of nasty, today my wife and I nearly got killed on the Interstate. We were jammin down the freeway talking and laughing when I noticed cars stopping real fast. I told my wife, she was driving, to stop quick. She began to stop, looked in the rearview and began to speed up again. I freaked and said stop! She said I can't and I knew we were about to get plowed. I just held on and the car behind us went off the freeway onto the shoulder, came back on the freeway sideways, slammed into the back of a semi that was at a complete stop then spun out in the medium. Missed us by a froghair! As we pulled up to a stop I saw there were three ladies in the car and they were banged hard. The car hit the truck just behind the rear passenger window and I just really thought the lady in the back seat was dead. I called 911 as I got out and they asked at which mile marker was the wreck. When I told them they said this wreck had already been reported and I said the wreck ahead of us has been reported but this wreck is a direct result of that wreck and it just happened. I could see the life flight on up the freeway taking them away! We stayed and helped out as much as we could and filled out a report but I'll tell you, shot my day. Came back home and went to bed!

    Yeah man car accidents are nasty, real nasty. I have seen a few bad one's out here in California, and few more in other places. But that one sounded really bad. I am glad you guys are o.k. though, it really had to spook you. It was also very honorable for you guys to help out as much as you could. I can't believe that happened, it really gets underneath your skin and can totally flip you out.

    Great day yesterday, huh? 3 boats and 5 jet skis. As Val said, sailing is nice, quiet and relaxing, just listening to the sounds. I love it. But Yesterday was a blast with water splashing and some great physical exercise and I do admit to a race or two. I do have a tendency to like to speed.;) Thanks for all the food you brought and Magpro those were some good tators. What a variety of hot sauce!!

    Glad you and your wife are OK. It makes you realize how things can change in someone's life in a split second. Sounds like you are lucky your wife was watching behind also and didn't panic. You guys should've come to the party.
    You know your wife is always invited too.

    Magpie your wife must be one helluva driver!! You two are so lucky! I bet you could get rich if she were to teach a defensive driving class.

    By all means, bring her to the party! Got to celebrate that she kept you alive!

    OH today does not sound too great for you. I'll bring some orange juice, some nice soothing tea, of my own recipe. I will remember to put some essential oils in and give you a bit of a back rub. You will feel much better. Relax while I get the things ready. Oh hot sauce for later, always helps.

    Don't worry about spreading germs. I have always had a great immune system. Even missed out on all the childhood diseases. I end up taking care of all my friends as I am the one that stays healthy. I'll pick up the chicken soup on the way. Oh and a BIG box of kleenex.

    Are you feeling better KRS, boy that was some chicken soup. I may fake ill to get some of that.
    For lunch lets have cool stuff, fruits and salads. Someone gave me some pineapple they brought back from Hawaii. Some cottage cheese anyone. I'll make a great fruit salad. I have to tell you though, when I make a fruit salad I sort of have a tendency to eat the heart of the watermelon.:o Oh and hot sauce for the cottage cheese

    OMG COLDS SUCK. It's really really isn't fun, hope you are feeling better krs. Growing up, I had like pneuomnia for like five straight years, throw in a double pneuomnia every now and again. It was becaused I used to live in South Dakota and it would be like negative 10 and I would be the silly kid running around in the snow without a jacket. Apparently they restricted my ability to make the perfect snowangel. Eitherway I brutally paid for it. Thankfully I moved to California, and now I usually get about one small cold a year, or none at all. Life is good. But I would recommend for foods to eat when you have a cold. Pizza. I know, I know, I know, it sounds stupid, however usually pizza has a ton of nutrients in it, you don't have to cook it, I order mine, and who doesn't like PIZZA! The only downside to my theory is if you lose your tasting ability, because that happens to me sometimes when I get a cold. And it really really pisses me off. Flip side to that however is you don't want to eat. Usually I don't eat when I can't taste, because it's just this boring motonous thing and I want to sleep. Either way, if you can taste order pizza, I am serious it will help, unless you don't like pizza, which then we have a whole new set of problems.

    El Pato, The Duck has been my taco sauce of choice for 45 years. Made in LA where people know tacos, there is none better. Next time you enjoy your favorite Mexican food, try El Pato, The Duck. You'll be glad you did!

    Ever try the green can of "El Pato" sauce with scrambled eggs, onions, tomatoes and cheese?? WOW!

    As for lunch, a fruit salad sounds great, throw in a few nuts and some sprigs of spinach and basil.. awesome.

    I make a concoction called Machaca. It is Scrambled eggs, roast beef, (leftover heated) cheese, fresh tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and onions with some cilantro thrown on for good measure. I use the Green Duck for that. Oh yea, hot flour tortillas to scoop it up and shovel it in with! Oh my, talk about a hearty breakfast.:p
    Fresh jalapinos too add just a touch of fire.

    Forgive me Jay, this isn't a snooty english lesson or a pseudo spelling bee but its scotch bonnet, just in case anyone wants to do a little cyber research or ask for them at their local market... and you're right, they are the volcanos of hot peppers, ey yi yi! :eek:

    Well, I love all this food, but I got to start a diet now. I just got back from the doc, I had to have my Nursing School physical, and I have gained 20 pounds! :eek:

    I have never weighed this much in my LIFE!! :eek:

    I am up to 134, it really sucks. Also, got to stay off the salt, BP was quite high today.


    So, what can we have that is low in salt.

    I know, stay away from the Pepsi, that one might be hard though. :rolleyes:

    I will say this one thing, one of the best things about living in California, is the mexican food. Some of these restaurants are just amazing. The only downside is that you have to live with sushi bars. YUCK! If meat doesn't touch heat, than I don't eat.
