Beans, aka Legumes

what is it with these little things
that make my tummy rumble
they say beans are good for
you, i have read that somewhere,
i was even told my by elders
"to eat my beans at every meal"

try as i might, to love them and
and at times i do, i have to plan
my day around them, if i eat
beans, i must stay put!

yes, of course we have "beano"
and even good ole "gas ex"
but who the heck can remember
to inhale these deterrent's of
tummy rumble, when you
have so much else to remember!

i always wondered, who concocted
"beano" since it was devised to
be taken before eating beans

then why do we eat them?

all i know, if a bean is near by,
and enters my tummy the
rumble begins!

so for now, unless i plan
accordingly, no beans will be
entering my tummy as the
rumble is way to loud!

:O)

Just_Lin said...

Tina Did you win that? I wasn't even aware that the march was coming so soon. Snooze ya lose. Congrats.

Lynn D said...

Jodi she is a double Whore!

Birdee said...

cp, that is a cute one!!! Thanks!

Amicus said...

Tinka,
It's not a problem with your computer. BonO's page is wide in Internet Explorer, but it's even wider in Firefox, and you're seeing the same thing in Safari.

Bon'O,
If you want to reduce the width, go to "Account Settings" then "Miscellaneous" and remove the check mark from the box that says "Allow Images and Videos to stretch the width of my comments box."

Jodi said...

BIRDEE - I like your owl!!

OK.....I'm going to bed for real this time. TINA - Congrats.......I bet Mr. Iteach is getting a workout tonight!!! :D :D

Just_Lin said...

I think Tina distracted us with that alarm.

Birdee said...

Tink, No Worries for your fur babies..we never attack other Animals! ha!

iteach said...

Mr. Iteach is now on Tina's page with Tina.

Just_Lin said...

Okay, I brought us a hot fireman just in case Tina tries to burn us out.

Birdee said...

OK!! I just got FOADED for the first time here!!!

Nite jodi

Bon'O said...

birdee....think it's 'cause you or someone else was tweaking your page?

I tell ya, kids...that speech had me on the ceiling!! Just had to swig a glass of ice-cold milk with ButterShots to get my feet back on the ground!

Birdee said...

Oh!! Hi Amicus!! Sorry I just saw your post. Nice to see you!

Bon'O, that could be a reason. It was a weird message..

Just_Lin said...

Tina Are you done cooking dinner or do I have to keep the hot fireman a little longer. Poor me.

Lynn D said...

Just lin: Save the hot fireman for us!!!

Tina is setting fake fires and burning fake food to distract us!!!

I bet she doesn't even do laundry!

Just_Lin said...

LynnD My hot fireman is ready to put out any flames.

Jodi said...

LYNN D - I vote for fake laundry - remember she has that tricked out washing machine. But I hear she's really good at washing water!!!!

Tinkatia said...

Amicus - Thanks for answering our question about wide pages. I knew you would have the answer. You always do. I have the 27 in widescreen monitor so I couldn't figure out why the pages would not fit on my screen. You didn't get your name Professor from Zona for nothing. You have earned it my dear.

Lynn D said...

Jodi: I heard the same thing!!!

Just lin: Point him my direction because I am on a slow burn after that march!

Lynn D said...

Tinka: Do you know where Zona is? I miss her!

Tinkatia said...

Lynn - I haven't heard from Zona since last night. I hope she is okay. She will probably post soon.

Bon'O said...

***WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD***
Just received this from a friend on AOL, and immediately thought of all of you who still have family at home, and those of us who remember having or being this kind of mom...........



Why I Love My Mom:

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said,

I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed."

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn
bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.

She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the wash, ironed a shirt and
secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table and put the telephone book back into the drawer.

She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.

She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a textbook out from hiding under the chair.

She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note
for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.

Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.

Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."

I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish and
put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks in the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.

In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack.

She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list.
She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.

About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed."

And he did...

....without another thought.

Anything extraordinary here?

Wonder why women live longer...?

'CAUSE WOMEN ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL...

(And we can't die sooner because we still have too many things to do!)

iteach said...

That was really good!

Birdee said...

Hey New Friend's..Lynn & Jodi, I was just visiting your pages! Nice!
I love to look at pictures.

Lynn, Congrats on the water rafting. I don't think I could do that. But it "looks" like fun!

Jodi, Are the snow pics from this year? Which "Heidi" blog buddy did you meet? If you don't mind my asking!?

All the kids pics are cute.
My niece was here most of the day. She can get pretty wound up. It's all quiet now. ha!

Birdee said...

bon'O, Ain't that the Truth!!
Only the 2 of us home now, and I Still have to do those things!!
AND SHUT OFF ALL THE LIGHTS!
The other day, I found the pepper in the cupboard with the coffee cups. I'm alway's finding things in weird places. If I want to find stuff, I have to Think like him!

Lynn D said...

Bono: That is so True! Thank you for the LOL moment!

Birdee: Yay you accepted me as a new friend and I am so bad I did not realize it yet! I will have to go remedy that.

Rafting was fun but I have not gone in about 6 or 7 years. Maybe again someday! Dangerous tho. More than I though it would be.

Birdee said...

Lynn, no problem on that. Sometimes my page doesn't notify me when I have msg's or comments. Not even in my regular AOL mailbox. And it is suppose to.

Birdee said...

cp!!!!! what ya doing? Searching for different owl pics?

Just_Lin said...

LynnD Sorry, just got done eating dinner. Did you say you wanted the fireman's hose aimed your way?

Lynn D said...

Just Lin: Have him aim away! It might help me sleep tonight! LOL

Birdee: I made a comment on your page but wanted to say you have a beautiful family!

Ok gang I am going to go do the 50 things I do before I go to bed. I am turning in early and just going to lay and watch TV.

Hugs to you all!

night.owls.sb said...

yep!

Well I hope you all got your pages measured and resized. I know I will sleep better tonight.

Word on the street is that Dreama is trying to get in here.

I know you all are too "ladylike' to say anything and normally I would be too much of a lady to say anything myself.

However, rest assured that there are 4 large, burly owls in a black limo approaching her house as we speak.

Don't worry. No rough stuff. Just a meeting of the minds. Well, I should say, 4 minds and a "legume."

Just_Lin said...

Good night LynnD.

Just_Lin said...

delores Long time no see. Where have you been hiding?

Just_Lin said...

I think I'm all alone here with my hot fireman.

sacBarb said...

Hello whoever is here...

JL: Nice Fireman. You know I love a man in uniform...especially when they have long hoses.

Tina: I'm glad you aren't burning dinner. My oldest son always said dinner wasn't done in our house until the smoke alarm went off.

Hey Birdee: Hi. Love your owl.

Lovey: You like weiners and beans on the barby??? How do you keep the beans from falling through the grate???

Whabbear: LOL @ Blazing Saddals reference. My Hubby's fav movie and he and my boys loved to re-enact the campfire scene.

I hope everyone is having a good evening.

Just_Lin said...

sacBarb Yes, my fireman has a very big hose. I'm keeping him until Tina comes back and assures me she didn't set any fires tonight.

sacBarb said...

JL: S Tina probably busy washing a load of water.

Just_Lin said...

sacBarb Maybe she prepares the water before throwing it on the fire.

sacBarb said...

JL: Where did everybody go?

Just_Lin said...

sacBarb Maybe they have real lives.

sacBarb said...

JL: We'll have to ask her when she gets back

Just_Lin said...

sacBarb Maybe she had to soak her water before she washed it.

sacBarb said...

JL: LOL Not possible.

sacBarb said...

JL: That "not possible" comment was in reference to others having real lives. What else is there but this blog???? LOL

♥LOVEY♥ said...

I just had to run in and tell ya JBJ is hosting SNL...Mek.. hope you're reading :o)

Just_Lin said...

sacBarb I wonder if she washes her water on the gentle cycle.

♥LOVEY♥ said...

Hiya SacBarb, JustLin..

SacBarb, yeah it would be hard to cook beans on the grill, I meant, I like cooking the weiners on the grill and mixing them with the beans :o)

sacBarb said...

Lovey: Thanks for the heads up. Is it the re-run? DUH - writers strike - I'm sure it is. I have watched it every time they have re-run it and I will watch it again. Love me some JBJ

Just_Lin said...

Lovey It would be hard to balance all those beans on the grill. LOL

sacBarb said...

JL: With her tricked out washer, I'm bettin' she uses the heavy duty cycle

Just_Lin said...

sacBarb I bet you're right. Bet ya she purposely has the load unbalanced too.

night.owls.sb said...

Off to bed!

hey sacbarb :O)

I will see you nightowls tomorrow!

Our daily blog tomorrow is from a nightowl. It is terrific!

nite
:O)

sacBarb said...

Night Carol - Sweet Dreams :)

Just_Lin said...

Sleep warm, Carol.

sacBarb said...

Zona: Are you lurking? Where are you? Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Just_Lin said...

And what about MEK and IBB?

sacBarb said...

JL: Did we scare everyone off?

Tina?

MEK?

IBB?

Bon?

Hellooooo??????

iteach said...

Hellllllllloooooooooo!

sacBarb said...

iteach: Hellooooo

iteach said...

Sorry I can't play, but it is time for bed. :(

sacBarb said...

iteach: What's up? JL and I have been holding down the fort (or fart, in honor of today's blog)

Just_Lin said...

iteach Hello. Like my fireman?

iteach said...

I will come back and play tomorrow. :)

sacBarb said...

iteach: well, good night. Take care of mr. iteach

iteach said...

Yes, I do, J/L

sacBarb said...

JL: It must have been something we said

Just_Lin said...

Good night iteach Sleep well.

Just_Lin said...

Well, I'm not farting. Are you?

sacBarb said...

JL: I guess there is something out there besides this blog.

sacBarb said...

JL: That must be where everyone is and we weren't invited. :(

Just_Lin said...

How dare them!! :(

Just_Lin said...

At least it's not raining right now.

sacBarb said...

JL: No I'm not farting - but I have held one down at some point today and it must have been in honor of today's blog.

Just_Lin said...

LOL I had some beans at dinner in honor of today's blog. They were just green beans and they don't give me a problem. I am going to go away for a while but I will check back in later.

sacBarb said...

JL: It's not raining here today either, but it is supposed to rain again tomorrow and the winds are expected to reach 50 mph tomorrow, too. I hope the electricity stays on. That last storm was a killer. I hope this one isn't that bad.

sacBarb said...

JL: OK TTFN

Tina Don't worry. The hot fireman is on stand-by. :)

DreamaTexas said...

Mary/MI said...

Hi Dreams~ Welcome!!
I was on my way to bed and decided to check in. We had home made chili for lunch today and fish for supper. Hubby had a few beers! I am NOT looking forward to the hazy night I'm in for!!

Whabbear, my Hubbies part of that movie was
Question: "I thought you were hung"
Answer:"I am"

Just_Lin said...

Good night!

Mary/MI said...

OOP, I meant to say,"my hubbies favorite part was"

Just_Lin said...

Mary/Mi I have a fireman waiting in the wings if you need resuscitation! LOL

Mary/MI said...

Just Lynn~ I love a man Out of uniform LOL!! Where is he? Never mind I see him in the spare bedroom waiting for me!

Just_Lin said...

Mary/Mi We established earlier that he has a big hose. LOL

Mary/MI said...

ibebold~ How is MEK? was going to check her "myspace' and forgot. Looks like she has a picture of a barn in place of her pic.

Mary/MI said...

Justlynn~ I did see that! I need a good hosing LOL!!

sacBarb said...

Sorry guys I had to step away for a while. I'm going to go to bed and watch the news and then JBJ on SNL. Good night to whoever is here.

Amicus said...

Page Width Update

In case anyone else notices your comment section has gotten wider, the MySpace resizing feature isn't working right now. Hopefully, MySpace will fix it soon.

Mary/MI said...

Night Sac Barb

Thanks Amicus

Just_Lin said...

Mary/Mi Are you still here? Are you admiring the fireman's hose?

Tina~in_ut said...

But Amicus~ I like my things BIG~ :)

Just_Lin said...

Tina Where have you been. I think Mary took off with the fireman.

Mary/MI said...

Looks like I'm the Lone Ranger! I will say goodnight. Maybe I won't sleep through GMA tomorrow.

My best to those of you not feeling well.

Just_Lin said...

Good night everybody

Amicus said...

Mary/MI: You're welcome!

Tina: LOL! You can keep your things BIG. :) Just make sure that box I mentioned to BonO earlier has a check mark in it so when the resizing code starts working again your comments will stay big. If there's no check mark, it automatically resizes the comment pics to 400 px, which is still a good size. :)

Amicus said...

Hi Dreama,
Welcome to the nest!

Jodi said...

BON*BON - Love the post about going to bed!! So true!!

Will be back after work.

night.owls.sb said...

Delores:

This is a blog for all, It is a open forum.

However I am not into drama, I refuse to be put in the middle of you and Dreama. Dreama is welcomed to comment here and so are you.
Comment away. There should not be any back and forth cruel banter.

A small spit spat here is fine as that is life, cruelty is not!

I have the power to delete each comment and I shall do so if deemed
necessary!

Please be nice! If do not like Dreama then don't comment to her, as she won't comment to you!

This blog is about, fun, peace and friendship, it was created that way and is shall stay that way.
