[ In Reply To ..]I totally forgot about the black-eyed peas today you should have posted that reminder a couple of days ago. Does tomorrow count? Maybe I can go to the store and get some. Enjoy your New Year's Day :)
Black-eyed peas - Nick
[ In Reply To ..]Thank y'all for reminding me--it is too cold here to go out to get some, but I promise to eat some within a week! Happy new year to everyone.
Are there any interesting legal cases related to BEP? - Happy New Year!
[ In Reply To ..]There must be some, somewhere?
Alas, no interesting legal cases - Nick
[ In Reply To ..]related to BEP as far as I know. But BEP are sure good with some hot Tabasco sauce!
I thought it was pork. sm - Happy New Year.
[ In Reply To ..]Can't seem to remember the traditions, so will start a new one: A glass or two of Bailey's Irish cream. : )
Best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year, everyone!
Make sure you eat - 365 of them.
[ In Reply To ..]The superstition is that for every black eye pea you eat on New Year's you have 1 day of good luck. One year I thought I'd try it. I counted out 365 black eye peas and tried to eat them. I don't particularly like them and wound up baring them all. That year was pretty much like every other year. Good luck to you all.
Yuck. We eat pork and sauerkraut here in Dutch Country PA - nm

I forgot, but I ate them last year, the year before that and for - sm
[ In Reply To ..]quite a few years, and have had nothing but horrible things happen so maybe since I forgot this year, I can have something (GASP) good happen!
Ha! I told my hubby since 2014 was such a terrible year - Original Poster/Black Eyed Peas eater
[ In Reply To ..]we should skip this year and see what happens. He wouldn't risk it!
I saw 2014 as a great year and for the first - time in years did not eat
[ In Reply To ..]the traditional peas and collards like we normally do. I was on the plane flying back home and forgot all about what I usually had for that day. Anyway this year hubby fixed some dee-licious collars, so good but forgot the peas. Oh well, looking forward to a great year and already making plans for a fun summer.

ONE-EYED MAN IS KINGDec 12, 2009
I thought of this when I was reading a post from someone thinking of going out on her own and getting her own accounts. About 20 years ago, I had the great pleasure of attending a seminar where a great man, Mr. Jim Rohn, who recently passed away, was speaking. He was speaking to a group of business people who were starting their own business in the health and wellness industry. Anyway, one piece of advice that he gave was this: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man (or ...
Trump Gets All Misty Eyed About AssadApr 08, 2017
those same Syrian babies he would like to ban from coming here.. so he impulsively lashes out with missiles. He has no strategy, no plan for followup, except that there will be no followup. Pretty much gives Assad permission to carry on before AND backed his impeccably tailored friend Putin into a tight corner. The missile strike was another loud but empty gesture by a president who incapable of formulating and pursuing coherent policies, and it seems like it may have made ma ...

Can someone explain this to me? Perferably a declared Republican? My entire growing up years I recall being told that it was my civic duty to vote, no matter who I voted for. I have voted in every election I was able to. I cannot believe ...

I know that times are tough and there is a lot of "no money" going around but I just thought I would offer a reminder NOT to pass your local Wal-Mart (or whatever store) bell ringers without giving them something. Believe me, there are people out there that are worse off than you or I. I see people by the dozens stick their hands in their pockets, squeeze themselves tightly on the way toward the door and plant their eyes firmly on the pavement in front of them just to get by without shedding a f ...

Forgive And Forget Vs. An Eye For An Eye, Plus InterestSep 28, 2012
If Romney and Obama team up to eat a bag of live puppies during the debates, the only difference in the two parties will be which candidate they think did a better job eating those puppies. So, this brings me to a conundrum. How many people on either side believe our differences are resolvable? I.e., if you don't get 100% your way, will you be miserable for all eternity? It sounds like most people on both sides will be. Romney creates universal health care and ...

Okay, think back when Obamacare was first enacted. Did anyone care about the millions who were kicked off of their insurance then. No. Seems Democrats can do anything but not Republicans. I will say I am disappointed, but glad that Mike Pence, my former governor, did warn Mr. Trump not to go entirely on Paul Ryan's bill. Mike Pence went along with Mr. Trump because he is president. However, he did warn him about Ryan. To me, we now deal with two Republican parties and since when wa ...
