El,
I was really 'blown away' by this post,
never expected such a wonderful expression
'THANK YOU' so very much.
It is wonderful too..
and one of the secrets of
EL's kitchen... that we are all such different
characters here, just like a jigsaw puzzle,
where ALL the pieces are needed & important ..
AND
the great picture * only *shows *
when ALL the pieces fit!

Grace I asked you have you ever had Iced Tea? My English friend made a terrible face when she first tasted it :)

Happeeeeeee Thursday, Grace, El, Quinn, Tony, Franko... etc etc. I came to read and wish all well like I do on occasion, and sad to see that there is another rift starting between El and Grace. I have a lot of serious issues happening at the present time, and I hope that the two of you can rise above yet another argument brewing. I think the world of you both, and I have a lot of people's phone numbers, and dont call for one reason or another. That does not mean I dont love a lot of you, it does not take anything away from the fact that we have been posting for years. I think it is a delightful idea if you meet one another, and never had a reservation that Grace would be included in the equation. This is a new year, and I hope that you will see your way clear to realize that this is one battle not even worth fighting over. Now why cant you call one another right now, say hello, laugh, and shake hands.

Nice to see you again Vee. Enjoy your day

<quoted text>Quinn if you are speaking of rifles there are no current military weapons on the street. They just look alike but don't work alike. Military is full auto!

Not even a semi-automatic M1911A1? How about a semi-automatic M-11? Or how about a semi-automatic Mk 25? Then there is always the semi-automatic Kimber Custom. But then there is the semi-automatic .40 S&W.

Not ALL military weapons are FULL auto Crain.

Stop trying to make yourself look knowledgable with only an internet education.

I meant it quite sincerely Grace. Although it isn't
our way to be so outgoing, lol, sometimes it is
important to let someone know what they mean to me.
Let me say you put it perfectly about the difference
in characters amongst we the group who congregate here
in the kitchen...I couldn't be happier with the grand bunch
of folk who come here...
call it an extension of Dirty Nelly's, one disappeared sadly
but may this one live for a long time to come.

I am so relieved...and I go along with that with pleasure...

Fully automatic weapons have been banned.
A special permit still allows ownership-
but a permit will not be given for purchase.

However, the purchase of 'parts' to make your
semi-automatic a (full automatic can still be purchased)- most have *button or lever* switches.
Don't get caught at a gun show doing it!!!!

Good morning/afternoon to all!
My itouch is so old...
How old is it? Old enough that it can't take a Topix upgrade. Something about downloading an app that I can't get to!
I do hope everyone is having a great day! My new avatar needs to be tweaked. The sideways photo of Simba kitty does him no justice.

So if I do manage to come to Ohio one day, hope your son will
accomodate me in a game of Frisbee! He should know, I am no
pushover...I can throw a mean frisbee!

Boomer, Brighteyes, thanks for sharing. And your Simba kitty is adorable.
Beautifully marked, and a lovely expression.

You notice I said current as in modern and was speaking about rifles. No military uses a semi only as there basic rifle.

Vee...

as always, wonderful to see you here..although extremely concerned to
hear you have some serious issues, hope those are soon resolved.
Grace and I have talked it over....I think all is well between us once more. After all this time it would be devastating to think not.
Maybe we will meet each other one of these days, but at the moment, fine
as things are...of course this is just my word, hopefully Grace feels the same.
Don't think that your concern is not appreciated my friend.
As is mine for you....here for you if I can help.

John Browning even made a lever action into a full auto :)

"Military is full auto!"

That is a lie.

Very well put El,
and yes, I too agree with that sentiment..
and feel the same,
as you say, after all this time it says a lot that
we.. us three .. You El, Vee and myself are chatting away
now in this post..

Like you, El,
I too hope Vee's issues can be resolved..
she knows I care too.
these are difficult times and no mistake.

Just now it is quiet, as I post.. a big fire,
sleet outside..the wind is up and I can hear Ali lightly snoring!

Peace is here.

in classy CLINT EASTWOOD style!

we're allowed to a gun over here!

LOL !!!!

Joking with you..of course..

I'm so sorry I missed this D..

YES, I tried it, but,
could kinda take or leave it, quite
honestly..

A good old fashioned cuppa hot tea
- far nicer.

Sleet beginning to turn to snow here
*now*

how's YOUR weather, Denny?

I agree Grace, it does say a lot..we three have shared a lot in
the past, lots of laughs and also some difficult times....
proves one can lose touch for a while but the foundation for
friendship has been laid already.

Cheers Grace, Vee.....

Hi Denny...sounds a nice day you are having there in Texas.
I never have tried Iced Tea....I heard it was something other
than it sounds...sounds refreshing, hoping for some hot
weather this Summer and will finally try this.

Hope your wife is improving and will soon be back to good health.

We drink gallons of ice tea. Much more so than hot tea. I thought since you live here a little you would have had ice tea but I didn't think Grace would have. Why is it that when you order something with ice in the UK you get one cube? Is it rationed :)We always have to watch what we order. Things like an egg salad sandwich. When what we should order to get what we want an egg mayonnaise.
