Bananas? Why not pomegranates? Could bananas save the world?? I think they would be harder to grow in Afghanistan. Strawberries are the best, though I don't know how they would do growing in the climate there..

Awww Chuck! You always save the day! :hug: You're most welcome sweets.:kiss: What's new in Albania?? Girl! Don't tell me I'm 24!!! I'm still freaking out about 2-4!!!! Next year 2-5!!! *faints!!*

Kelsie will love the cat - it's got that possessed look only a cat can get.:laugh3:

saying too much get's you in trouble sometimes.. Anyhow, carry on!

Hello LiquidSky and Caroline-was-here! I think we've all experienced what you are describing. It is a problem - best is to make the person work it off first, or have them put up something as collateral, so you'll get something back if nothing else. Otherwise, it's probably feeding problem behavior. And yes, some people can be ungrateful - remind them that you've sacrificed for them, and if they want the love and shared kindness in return of others, they need to be thoughtful and generous with their time towards you. Perhaps in a world of distractions, they get lost easily in something else, and then forget those who have helped them.. Though sometimes people really are truly in need and desperate, and they will be thankful, conversive, and make an effort to repay in some form or another. I've experienced both types, so it varies from individual to individual. Anyhow, here's a free hug::hug:

Just Friendly Dr. Ho. :) A geneticist, & may his spirit of positiveness live on forever.:angel: Did you catch any of the live U2 concert on YouTube? Just stream-of-thought, with the earth from space rotating away on the screen, and the live chat with one of the astronauts on-board the space station?

Happy Halloween to you too, Ari!:) Season's looking spooky here - misty, dark with clouds, windy.. leaves blowing in spiral winds.. What's it like where you're at?

I like that title - Science of Life and Earth! Cool!! It's good to see someplace that ties it all together.;) A: You pull down their genes!:P (it's a Dr. Ho Joke, and you've gotta know Dr. Ho!)

Sounds good to me! I must go now and do the knifing, and pull the guts out of the pumpkin (hey, it's halloween, so I must be graphic!) Salted, regular, and I might try some with a red pepper spice mix.. & Hello Nestea Ari!

Seasoned ones? What kind of seasoning??

Yes, they're munchy crunchy ones! I raised some Lady Godiva's this year, and they should have a good quantity of naked pumpkin seeds. (naked is the best.;))

And after all that, I completely forgot what I was thinking! Oh yes, I need to make pumpkin seeds! Nice crunchy pumpkin seeds, roasted, salted, perfect for the occasion!! (save those seeds you who carve, as they are fan-tas-tic salted and roasted on a sheet in the oven..):)

Or dream the impossible dream!:P (but if you get stranded on a desert isle with 6 other castaways, it could be fun!):)

Geology can be related to biology, but putting then in the same class?? I guess, if you take the super-wide view, like planetary science, as the space aliens might look at us. How does this work? Genetics Q (Dr. Ho's favorite): how do you tell a male fruit fly from a female fruit fly?

:rolleyes::laugh3: Hasn't happened yet, so don't worry.:P I was thinking this somewhat myself - but how did Robinson Crusoe do it then?

Cool! Glad to hear it.:)

Wow, you said it Nick! They invest in campaigns, and by an amazing coincidence, they seem to get exactly what they want. One good quote from the article: "It's exactly securities fraud," he says. "It's the heart of securities fraud."

Ow! Sounds painful!:rolleyes: I was thinking.. Loyal Jurga for the US?

Take a gander, if you're interested!:Campo de Elche :cool:

Here, Here! 3 cheers for Pink!:chris::will::jonny::guy::phil::eno:

Yes. ;) The 'Gipper' really wasn't too good at throwing the long bomb (thankfully).:P

This is for anyone interested in tracing the causes and effects of big money corrupting US politics:bobby::scholar:. As the revolving door swings round, it's good to know who's in it, and how this affects us all. With Halloween fast approaching, be careful of the monsters who lurk in the halls of power, and the "treats" that they offer!:uhoh2::whip:Stay heart-smart.

The Three Stooges. Yes, some people like to fight, but it's pretty much just their way of getting attention..:P One could liken it to two beetles fighting over a ball of dung. Not much comes of it, but it's funny to watch!
