I love avocados. Had one for lunch in 2 fat salad sandwiches. Now I've got a wait for a few days for the next to ripen. The tension is killing me.

Nomis. Do you think that eating avocados has any bearings on the fact that the dust on your keyboard congregates more in one area
I think this is a topic worthy of a separate Thread. I also think this matter should have been raised at the G8 Summit.

Erm, Mike, that is to complicated a topic for those G8 twits...perhaps thumb twiddling would be better, they seem to be purdy good at it

I think this is a topic worthy of a separate Thread. I also think this matter should have been raised at the G8 Summit.

Actually, I think dropped dribbles of avocado pick up more dust than they deposit. However, I have referred this (as you suggested) for the G8 but since godzone New Zealand isn't represented and I have to beg the Aussies for a good word I'm not sure that my case will be fairly represented.

Mimi, a paperbag, it is true, is a good environment for ripening an avocado particularly if placed with an apple and plonked in the hotwater cupboard. But green to brown still takes a few days and my green avocados to this day remain green. But I wait in excitement for this rare occasion where I look foreward to the hard firmess giving way to a softer, more flaccid consistency.

Nomis. My Sister has Kiwi and Avocado orchards so is an expert on them. However, I'm not going to ask her opinion on your hardness giving way to a softer, more flaccid consistency.. Like me, she's lead a very sheltered life...

I'll just stick to a nice pear or a banana..

I love bananas.

I'm finishing my coffee, going up to the barn and riding, and then to the shop where I'm sure it will be a total madhouse.

Riding in the barn.....You'll wear out that poor young stable boy TO.. You should feel quite at home in the shop if its a Madhouse TO

It's hot, humid and I have no bananas today

[fatdave]

I fell out of my chair. It wasn't very interesting.

[twisted_ophelia]

I had a nasty fall off of Teddy. I decided to be foolish and jump a higher height than I've ever done with him, he got excited and jumped huge, I lost my balance, fell off over his neck, got underfoot and caused him to trip and fall ON me. Yeah, it sucked. I've had a horse fall on me pre-SCI and it sucked then too. Went to the emergency room and had the beejeezus x-rayed out of me. No broken bones or damage, no concussion because my helmet stayed on and did it's job, and as he was getting up, he kind of rolled off of me and didn't step on me (if you've ever seen a horse get up from the ground, you'll know that they thrash around and it's not a good idea to be anywhere near them while they're doing it). I was very lucky and now I'm just very sore and bruised. He's okay too. He was quite shaken up, poor thing. Thankfully he didn't get hurt either. Keeps life interesting, I suppose. I'll be laying around the house for a couple days, that's for sure.

Mimi, your dangerous life is much too exciting for this thread. I'd suggest you put Teddy out to pasture for a few days and practise little jumps and bumps with humans. I'm available Tues, Thurs and Saty.

Not really, I can barely move without hurting! I'm very boring today, just laying around and counting the hours til my best friend comes over and brings me take-out dinner. Sunday afternoon TV sucks! Nothing even interesting on the Food Network I hate being stuck at home but having 1100lbs of horse land on me makes laying around for a few days kind of a neccessity, heh.

I love mangos and guavas! When I was on holiday mangos were in season, littlerally every tree was covered! They tasted delicious too, not like the mangos from the supermarket. Guavas have to be really ripe but they too are delish!

Guava and Cream snowcones are by far the best in the world, even better than Wedding Cake and that's saying alot!

I have been going totally stir crazy, I get all bugged out when I'm cooped up in the house but I'm too achey to even play on the Wii with Thomas. Sore is doing much better. Now that I'm laying around, you're right, it will probably get lost! Chat later? Text me if you're around!
