Brought along my favorite marble rolling pin today - There will be all sorts of pie to top off your lunch and dinner. I'll be in the kitchen.

CW! What are you doing up this early, girl!

Smell the coffee - yes, yes! I will take a big cuppa....

Didn't hear much train action this morning - maybe they are sleeping late?

Joe, along with cooking breakfast, I'm also baking some cookies to fill up
the cookie jar. Chocolate chip, and oatmeal w/nuts.

Breakfast this morning will include oatmeal and cinnamon toast, along
with the regular assorted breakfast menu items.

Lunch today will be: fried chicken w/mashed potatoes and gravy, with your
choice of cole slaw or garden salad.

Despite what some people think, this is the Depot Diner, as well as a coffee
shop, and you have food and talk about food in a diner. We all have to
remember that in a coffee shop, you need to keep the discussions to topics
that are interesting to all the folks.

send some chocolate ice cream with sprinkles down this way... shame there isnt any Ben and Jerry stores real close to me, as they were giving out free ice cream yesterday

Tom, we deal with model-changeover shutdowns every year--the empty racks just pile up wherever they can find a place for them. If the plant shutdowns are more permanent, well, those things are dealt with. Eventually the business comes back, in the form of new plants or imported vehicles. (Sorry to sound so callous about the possible loss of good American jobs, but those are the facts of life.)

[rvos1979]

To borrow from The Dukes of Hazzard, shuttin' down the diner would be like goin' to church shirtless-it don't feel right!!

Anywho, Italian for dinner tomorrow night sounds REAL good. Could of used it tonight after playing in the hills in southwestern WI (them back roads is REAL fun in a pickup), but I can live untill tomorrow night.

I come here to escape the real world for a few minutes. I don't need it following me.

How about some cold chocolate?

Question: What effect would GM and Ford have on the RR's is they start shutting down plants?

Tom, how about a BIG glass of COLD chocolate milk, and a big slice of
cold chocolate pie?

Joe, we have T-Storms with pea sized hail outside. A tornado in the San Luis Valley (Center, CO...wierd to see them in the hills that far west)

Does Walt still have those really big Mason Jars out in the garage? Think he needs to pull out two this time. Just don't sell the contents to Wendy's for their Chili this time - OK?[}:)][}:)][}:)]

MC, we do have some large Mason and Kerr jars. Lids are a combination
of Mason, Kerr and Bell. The large are the quarts. Don't have any of the
half gallon or gallon jars. Would come in handy, though, wouldn't they?![:p][}:)]

That ice creams shounds and was delicious! I wonder what kind of cookies you have at home. I hope you have some chocolate chip and some oreos. They are my favorit!

It got up to 82 degrees here in Philadelphia! It was a hot one but it's droping down to 60 tomorrow :(

Which reminds me - must be I didn't get picked for that storm chase (WeatherBug was running a contest). Probably wanted somebody who would be in amazement, instead of an old hand (who would still be in awe).

One of those weird things - want to see a twister, but wouldn't wish one on anyone.

[locomutt]

Well,the jars aren't in the garage. They're actually in the pantry in the house.
I'm NOT selling my secret ingredients to anyone.

And yes,I still have Several of the LARGE jars if necessary

[dinner]. Yum. Roast,potatoes,carrots.I love Heavenly Hash[dinner]! Spaghetti tomorrow night? Just mention any kind of Italian food and I'm first in line[dinner].Oh! Did I say that already?

[cherokee woman]

Larry, thank you for the roast, potatoes and carrots. We'll add that to what's
left of the pork roast. Still good. And we'll have some Heavenly Hash ice
cream for dessert. Didn't get around to the spaghetti due to Walt canning
mushrooms in the kitchen. So we'll have Itallian spaghetti tomorrow night.

Well,I don't have any feelings of inadequacy or a major requirement to be recognized by a group.What I do see is a group of people attacking someone posting various pieces of information.

The problem is/was that the various pieces of information interested no one on the thread. And they said so.

The way I see it.

And you know, we do. We have some relatively long running discussions. So far the only lengthy discussion any of spbed's posts has engendered has been why we don't really care about what's being posted.

QUOTE:
You all have e-mail addresses. If you are upset that someone is upsetting your 'conversation' then do it in private,away from a public ,international forum.
You cannot dictate someone elses content ,as there is no content.

And we have. Including emails to spbed himself.

The question is why someone would persist in "upsetting" our "conversation." Wouldn't YOU consider that a bit rude? How would you feel if you started a thread on a topic and someone insisted on inserting random, unrelated tidbits into it? If spbed is so determined to post random bits of information gleaned from the news wires, why not start a new thread on current news? If people want to discuss current events, they can do it there.

It's no secret that the Diner is mostly nonsense, with some personal stuff thrown in from time to time. I think most of us want to keep it that way.

BTW - If you think we're "bad" here - stop over to the MR coffee shop - it's up to 400 pages...

M'lud,I rest my case!

Actually, while all of the to do was going on, I had a couple pot roasts on, so that, boiled potatoes, carrots, and a nice green salad are available for your consumption.

[tree68]

Gee, and it was so nice in here for so long.

OK folks - here's the plan. SPBed (and railroadingman, for that matter) can post here to his hearts content. We will ignore him. I realize it means having to pick the worthwhile posts out of the chaff, but even acknowledging him just encourages him. Eventually the noise will go away.

[Anonymous]

Let's be realistic.
Has this thread become a 'need' for some people.
Do you post and then wait on tenterhooks until the next reply.
Psyco-analysts dream.

I've just had a rather splendid piece of beef in a guiness sauce.
Why this should interest you on a railway forum,I have no idea.Could it be inadequacy and a desire to be recognized by a group?
Gosh! There is a large World out there.
