"52 Things to Try Once in Your Life" by Lynn Gordon
Kelly
Once in Your Life" by Lynn Gordon I recently got them out and was
suprised to find I have already done 21 of them and I know that Michael
Bolton has done at the very least 5.
1. Radical Hair Make-Over (I cut my long, long, long, long hair when I
was 15 and realize how much courage it took to do it.). 2. Write a
Children's Book.
3. Speak in Public. 4. Go to a baseball game (I am making an
assumption here since he hasn't been at any of the baseball games I have
attended.). 5. Send flowers. (He did this last V-Day. His mother and
daughters were the receiptents.).
What have you done in the past that was wacky, off the wall and fun?
I'll start with something I haven't done but think it would be great to
do. Are you ready ......
Wouldn't it be a hoot if several of us sent autographed pictures of
ourselves to Michael Bolton. Can you imagine getting the mail everyday
with a new picture of a fan? I think it would be hysterical. What do
you think?
Just trying to stay a little "insane".

Oh my, the poor guy may be overwhelmed! Besides that, the only pic of myself
that I actually liked was my high school grad photo. (That was taken <cough>
years ago.)
But back to the "re-make" question, I've thought of another. . . Shane. It'd
be quite interesting to see him do the Alan Ladd role. I do so love the
cowboys and their horses.
DonnaMN
Jonathan
However, I don't think Donna should be allowed to send her high-school
photo! That's cheating!!
Maybe we should send them to Jan and have a "Rogues Gallery" of our very
own! HA HA....
What were the other 47 things on the cards??
ATB,
Jonathan

things in my deck of 52 cards that I think are quite ordinary, taste
snow, make a wish, go fish, sing in the rain to name a few. Some of the
things I have done are feed a horse but don't follow my example and let
the horse bite you. My trip to Cleveland to see Michael and Wynona was
very spontaneous for me. I have written to Presidents Regan and Clinton
and got a response from their offices. My favorite cards are "Dropping
some Dough" with some suggestions like skydive, take a hot air balloon
ride, take an African safari and "Dropping some Serious Dough", buy a
radio station (we know who we'd play the most), buy a baseball team or
finance your own movie.
But how about creating a list of our own.

LOL good idea Kelly, and we can have t-shirts made with our pictures on them
too. Think he'd wear them? I do know this...if we were all sending in photos
of ourselves to Michael then "Glamour Shots" would be doing a booming business!
Peace,

I think that is a great idea!!! With a little planning and checking with the
right people we could do that :)
I think Michael might get a kick out of it.
Lynda
been the best decision I've ever made. I met a man on the net about 1 year
ago. We chatted, then exchanged phone numbers, then went on a 6 day
vacation to Disney World in Florida, then I went back to Canada, packed my
things and now living with him in WV, USA....yep!! Never in a million years
did I think I would do something like this, but like I said, it is the best
choice I've ever made!

I'm willing. We don't need them to be 8X10's. Snapshots would do. Also

Margaret, I'd say send the swordfish my way, but am thinking it would be too
*fishy* even for me after a transatlantic flight.
I just got back from 10 days in New Orleans...ate all the fish, shrimp, crab,
etc. possible...also too, too much breadpudding!! Every restaurant says it's
their specialty!!

One of the things I did do once was to take a ride in my uncle's bi-plane. It

Nutella is a chocolate-hazelnut spread with a bit thinner consistancy than
peanut butter. A German friend of mine introduced me to it...said her kids ate
it on their breakfast toast when growing up. Some big chain grocery stores
stock it, or you can get it in specialty food shops. Yumm...yumm
Still waiting for an explaination of Marmite...it can't possibly top the taste
of Nutella!!

said it was a bread spread treat and compared it to peanut butter. NOT! I
slathered up a piece of bread with TONS and only actually took one bite. It
was salty and totally unlike anything I have ever had as a "treat" before.
Another friend said it tasted okay as a kind of steak sauce, but I wasn't brave
enough for that. I have since become VERY careful on "new taste sensations."
LOL It definitely was an experience, though.
Love,
Liz

home made biscuits together with it or mix it into ice cream. OOOHHHHHH.
Marmite, you need to spread very thinly, and as Carol said, wonderful on hot
crumpets, but even better on a split and toasted onion bagel with some
Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
Vegemite is quite easy to get here, but YUK its awful.
Orchid
Sallycsc
>Marmite!!!
Hi Jody!
Thanks for the offer! Perhaps you better bring a jar along to share with those
who will be there. Boo-hoo, I'll be home thinking of you all.....and eating
Nutella by the spoonful as consolation!

<<Nutella....Marmite....be daring....try some VEGEMITE!!!!!! Yummmmmmmmm>>
A couple of years ago some friends returned from a trip to Australia & brought
me some Vegemite. After tasting it, the expression on my face must have said it
all! They started laughing, saying they knew how I'd react.
Sorry, Caz . . .once was enough! <g>

(apparently) 'YEAST EXTRACT'. As someone else said, lots of English people
are 'brought up on it' - especially on toast.
The ingredients are (and don't they sound delicious?!):- Yeast extract,
Salt, Vegetable extract, Niacin, Thiamin, Spice Extracts, Riboflavin, Folic
Acid, Vitamin B12.
I like it a lot, personally. It's quite unique, although if you have
'Twiglets' (crispy snack thingies) - THEY taste of Marmite.
Basically - Mummies forced Marmite down their kiddies throats 'cos it
contained lots of vitamins!!
Hope that (in a vague, roundabout sort of way) helps,
ATB,
Jonathan

Your post about Marmite had me ROFL! l could imagine you sitting there with
your jar of marmite looking at all those wonderful ingredients!!
Also marmite is great in a cheese sandwich.....toasted!! yummy!
Nutella, l remember having this years ago, as much as l love chocolate....l
cannot eat chocolate spread! YUK, now peanut butter is wonderful......but only
on it's own or with jelly! (bramble jam to all us Brits!! LOL) there is a shop
in St. Johns Wood...cannot remember the name of it....but it only stocks food
from the USA! anyone know of any other shops that does this.....apart from
"Harrods" of course! LOL

With all this talk about Marmite and Vegemite...I am very happy to say I only
have JAM in my fridge. LOL
Seriously tho what do those delicacies look like?
All this food talk reminds me of watching the "Real World - London" (okay so I
like the show). The one guy was in a tizzy because he couldn't find 'Ranch'
salad dressing in England. He actually had his parents send him a case LOL.
Personaly I figure "when in Rome..."
It would be interesting to find out if there are any other foods our countries
don't have in common....anyone have and ideas?
How about baked beans? Y'all have baked beans in England and Australia??

Yes, we have Baked Beans, but they are just Harricot Beans cooked in tomato
sauce and canned ready to re-heat. The most famous being Heinz, my
favourites are HP not as sweet as the others... My husband will only eat
them if they are fried in the pan after the bacon.
I have tried making proper Boston Baked beans my recipe had pork and stuff
in it they were gorgeous. Much nicer than the tinned ones, but probably not
as healthy.

Clotted cream! Sounds a bit disgusting, but its heavenly! You put it on the
various goodies served with tea - which is one of many lovely things about the
UK: tea time. I have no idea why we don't do it here....... tea in England
was one of the high points of my days there.

I'm so glad to know you have baked beans :-)
My grandmother made the best "boston baked beans". As far as Heinz, they do
make good stuff, I always add a bit of brown sugar and dry mustard to the
canned stuff to make it more palatable.
I'm sorry to hear you don't have popsicles tho... :-( The best are the
fugcicles (sp) actually, I like the popscicles with creme in them and Dove
bars... I'm glad I don't have any of those in the freezer.

What was the sandwich that Elvis used to like so much? I think it was peanut
butter, bananas and bacon. (Which, come to think of it, was probably what
actually did him in). I always wanted to try one but never could work up the
nerve.
Sallycsc

Hi Deb....
All of this ice cream talk is making me homesick for New England....Howard
Johnson's 48 flavors(do they still have that many?), Brigham's in the Boston
area has the most superduper unique hot fudge, and you can buy coffee ice
cream, my favorite, anywhere. When I moved to California over 30 years
ago.......aarrgghh....... I couldn't believe they had NO coffee ice cream!!
Are there any New Englander's here that are old enough to remember
Hoodsie's????
Sally

<<tea in England was one of the high points of my days there.>>
Agreed! Apparently we're not the only ones who think so. I've noticed that more
and more hotels in the L.A. area are offering high teas. When I was in D.C. two
years ago, the Four Seasons had a 4 p.m. tea which we had planned to attend
but arrived too late so drifted into the cocktail lounge for wine-tasting
instead. But we did see the goodies being served at tea & they looked fabulous.
Next time!

Hi Sally,
I just had to comment on this one......My husband was born and raised in Fall

Hi Kate,
Yes, It was Mike. Wasn't that a cool apartment? Definately the one I'd choose
to live in.
Yes, I'm watching this season ,but I can never remember when it's on so I catch
the repeats on the weekend. Going to Nepal looked wonderful, tho I don't know
about climbing Everest. I read the book "Into Thin Air" recently and decided
I'd stay much closer to sea level.
I got hooked on the Real World one summer when I was unemployed and they did a
marathon of all of the shows to date. That was during the second season. This
year's cast is a bit .....hm.....less funky than previous casts, in my opinion.
I do like the Road Rules show too. I'd stay in a camper if someone gave me a
three-month trip to Australia! And even do the "jobs" they give them LOL

I don't know what they were called in Fall River, but we had the same thing
here. Funny, I was just thinking about those little ice cream cups yesterday.

extra ice cream.

Whoops.. yet another global cock-up (I can say THAT can't I??!!).
Correct me if I'm wrong UK'ers, but over here in an average house we tend to
have a:
Dining Room (which tends to be used about once a year for dining in!!!)
Lounge (which is where the TV/sofa, and in my case the computer, are
located)
Also, we tend to call the lavatory the 'toilet' or 'loo', whereas I believe
you US'ers call it the 'bathroom'. This presents a problem in our house,
'cos if you used our 'bathroom', you'd only have a bath, shower or sink to
choose from - and we wouldn't be best pleased with you!!!! It'd be much
nicer if you used our 'toilet'!!!
Well, now I've brought the tone down, I'm going!!
ATB,

After hosting several exchange students, one of the things they don't have in
other countries is Cranberry Sauce. All of them never heard of cranberries; some
of them liked it and some of them didn't.

Fall River MA rings a bell (in addition to the Hoodsie's). Anything famous
ever happen there or was someone famous from there?

I loved that apartment.It has to be one of the favorites of mine.Now if
i could find one just like it.LOL I know what you mean about not being
able to remember when it's on.I've had to catch the last few for that
reason.It was easier to keep up with when it was on Wednesdays.I really
did enjoy the Nepal episode although like you i don't know if i'd climb
Everest.I hate heights.I haven't read "Into Thin Air" yet was it
good?I'm having a hard time with this cast.They aren't as interesting to
me as past casts but i still enjoy the show.I watch Road Rules too.I
loved the crocodile episode.It was great.Shoot i'd stay in the camper
too if someone paid my way to Australia.I've always wanted to go
there.Have you ever seen Steve Irwin on Crocodile Hunter?I never much
cared for crocodiles before but something about the way he looks in
shorts oops i mean the way he presents them keeps you interested.I was
hoping that was going to be his place Road Rules was going to do the
crocodile mission at.Also i was curious how did you feel about Neil on
the London cast?
Take Care,
Kate

I was born and raised near San Francisco, CA ... more years ago than I care to
admit to! I assume you're talking about ice cream. Ice cream in dixie cups
with pull-off lids and wooden spoons were called "Dixie Cups" out here. Wow,
that does bring back memories!!

And I thought Americans put ketchup on everything. Personally, the
brown sugar, strawberry jam and banana sounds really good.

In Oklahoma some houses have dining rooms, some have breakfast nooks and
some have both.
My house has the breakfast nook but we are allowed to eat other meals
there. Usually the computer is in the study or kitchen but mine is in
the living room. I just have to be different. Our equivilent of your
lounge is the family room or great room (kitchen/family room combo). My
parents call it the den. I don't know why but it is kinda of cavelike,
no windows. I guess bears would like to hibernate there. The bathroom
has a bathtub, sink and toilet. We also have a utility room where the
washer and dryer is located.
Love ya,

Meri,
For years I wouldn't eat cranberry sauce but a few years ago I tried
it. I love it.
I could eat the whole can by myself. I'd probably get sick but I could
do it.

Bad Sally! Bad bad bad!!!!! <slap slap slap> As a friend used to say about
the US and England:
"Two countries separated by a common language". We need a thread about the
"same word, different meaning" aspect of the English language...... I'll begin
with: "piss off". Here it means "to anger" someone. There, it means "go
away". "Pissed" here means "angry". There, it means "drunk". And try to
purchase clothing over there!!!!! Yikes! PS I'm sure that our Jonathan has
no need of Viagra, anyway!

Well Carol I have just tried it for my supper and it was lovely... although
I will probably need about six indigestion tablets before bed. Give it a
try. I think this will become an adiction....

The Christmas turkey wouldn't be the same without cranberry sauce. My son
once ate almost a whole jar of it on his vegetables obe Christmas when he
was going through his no meat stage.
I love cranberry juice to drink too.

Kelly wrote some of the names in her post, but I'll try a few more.
Bathrooms can also be called "restrooms". Although I believe most of the time
restrooms are for public use...and the line is ALWAYS longer for the women's
In Ohio we also have family rooms....which is basically the same thing as the
lounge in the UK. In days past there were parlours...however I think those
have transformed into the living room...
We also have mud rooms....and play rooms....these are both in homes with
children in them (although some adults use other rooms as play rooms <grin>). A
mud room is usually a utility room (water heater, washer/dryer etcs) where
people can take off muddy and snowy boots and clothing as not to mess the rest
of the house....
A play room contains many of the kids' toys and they can play there without mom
having to pick up toys from the entire house.
Well, there's my take on the subject....does anyone care? LOL It's fun tho...
Peace,
Meri

We still have regular visits by the ice cream truck, complete with that jangly
music that calls all the kids from their homes as if they were following some
manic, electronic Pied Piper. Why are these trucks always driven by some
really strange guy that looks like a pervert.....?! Is it a job requirement?
PsycheNse
(thinking back) looked almost too young to be driving. But us kids though he
was old!!
Back to the marmite, vegemite, peanut butter discussion..I have a friend who
eats peanut butter and tomato sandwiches and peanut butter and dill pickle
sandwiches!! Ugh! I did try the peanut butter and tomato sandwich (yuck), but
declined to even think about the dill pickle one!
We also hosted a student from China once quite a few years ago. He thought
hamburgers, fries and a shake was the worst meal he had here!! They do have
McDonalds over there, but I'm not sure they eat there very often. He was so
polite, he didn't want to say anything bad about the food, but his expression
and polite refusal of more told the story!

Would you believe that when I was a very little girl, my grandmother still had
an *ice box*....no electric refrigderator. The ice man in his truck came to
deliver blocks of ice every few days.
Remember, I was very, very young!!!
