Facebook strikes again! Ok, I feel all weirded out now. I just found out that a friend from where I used to work is dating one of my business contacts. I have made a concerted effort up to this point to keep these things separate. ---

BBQ happens after the meat is smoked or roasted or even grilled. The meat is chopped or sliced or pulled and sauced. Voila! BBQ! The chicken boobs are bein’ served smoked sans saucin’. The rest will be made into chicken sallit. Thus, no bbq at da cave. Ok, Ima go fire up the grill and grill burgers and tenderloins. ---

Home. Meatloaf is cooking for supper. And I’m going to harvest the first of my 'mater crop today - 3 cherry 'maters! 😃 The weather is absolutely glorious! Mild, sunny, breezy, not humid! Would that it’d stay this way for a month or so… [Zumba](http://www.zumba.com/us/about/) is a dance/fitness class. Daughter has taken a few and loved them. A guy-type friend of mine has done it also and he really enjoyed it. So we’re giving it a shot. We’ll see how it goes. In other news… um, I got nothing. Happy Tuesday! ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > **Rigs** , CPR is to keep them alive long enough to shock them. I’ve done both, and I’m still batting a whopping .000 at 15 attempts. That may have changed since the thread is now breathing on its own. Yeah… and since the survival rate of CPR\* is in the single digits, I’m not surprised that you are striking out. In a rural area such as yours, I think you’d be hard pressed to get anywhere within that time frame. That wasn’t the point of my joke, though. You used the term CPR when you meant defib (or more generally resuscitation). I was just tweaking you on that (and picturing someone using one paddle to do chest compressions–ouch!). Did you forget I’m an old critical care nurse who’s been to about a bazillion codes in my time? 🙂 \*unless followed by defibrillation within 3-5 minutes of event. ---

It’s been well over 30 minutes and no CPR or defib. I hereby declare this thread brain dead. 😉 ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > **swampy** , Alton Brown says the South never bar-b-ques chickens “It just ain’t done” says he. You can make barbecue chicken as in “chicken with barbecue sauce cooked on a grill” but real honest BBQ is made only with pork in a vinegar sauce. I do not accept Lexington-style sauce (and I’m from that area!) I just had to pay for the privilege of submitting my own damn thesis. Is the state that broke they can’t cover that cost? I expect to see that added to my state tax refund (which still hasn’t arrived. I had my taxes in on April 13.) Also I left my coffee cup at home this morning. :smack: On the good side there was ice cream cake at work since it was Maintenance N’s last day. And my thesis is finally submitted. 😃 ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > … and this differs from other MMPs exactly how??? No need for chocolate? It’s still raining here. It’s been raining on and off all day. I feel like I live in Seattle this spring. I weeded in the rain; I ran errands in the rain; I put out the garbage/recycle/yard waste in the–well, you know. But it’s nice and cool outside. Which it won’t be tomorrow or Thursday. A curse on that I say! I find having to pay for the cost of submitting your own work to be somewhat bizarre. Why not just eliminate the middle step and pay for your grades? Those who can afford it, get As. I can smell the money! ---

Sorry about having to pay for your thesis, **Spaz**. It does seem awfully silly. It just started to rain, so I think there won’t be a concert tonight. Boo. Gotta think about what to do tonight. My allergies seem to be acting up again. Boo again. Perhaps chocolate would help? Off to explore dinner. GT ---
