She's a little like me, I guess (I avoided saying that). <br />Erm... what have I learned so far? I've learned that the Lithuanian language has very very long, complicated words! <br /><br />VW beetle: <br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Jaime</b>, I love you, but we don't have a microwave ;) I'll just think about eating it instead then, shall I? <br /><br />There's a cake resistance mechanism out there???<br /><br /><b>Bob</b>, I know a few Bobs and they're all fairly strange people. Are you strange too? Yes, I know who you are, from Kippy's pages and the wedding and so on. <br />Cake is always free here.<br /><br /><b>Marty</b>... I want cake now... with liqueur, but heck, if the cake's not available, I'll take the liqueur =D <br />You're so right about words. I've always cried easily, but I have a high physical pain threshold. Words hurt. <br />Methinks Specs is binging. I don't binge. I eat for... uh... health... yes! That's it... health. I mean, some people sip brandy for health, right? <br /><br /><b>Rita</b>... eew... Cologne flavoured mints *shudder*<br />Poor you! <br />I'm studying Lithuanian. It's difficult!! <br />I love VW beetles. I think everyone has a memory associated with them. They seem to be memory cars. <br />You'd know very well the effect of words on children.<br />I'm off to see your blog. I'm so far behind on friends' blogs.<br /><br /><b>Katey</b>, Romany got a green and yellow tie (in 'honour' of the world cup).<br />I have no excuse either. This so-called winter doesn't count.<br />Amandla and all that... *nods*<br />Definitely a universal suckiness. I think the world has gone topsy turvy. <br />Hoe vêr moet ek hulle gooi?? ; ) <br />Last week was a LONG time ago!<br /><br /><b>Dani</b>... Who's Jude Law? Bet he stinks. <br />Nothing's wrong with her, except a very healthy appetite.<br />I teach all over the show... and often in strange locations and situations. Makes life interesting.<br /><br />Three cheers for dark chocolate!! 126 calories for 25g<br /><br />Bed time for me... <br />Labas naktis! Lik sveiki!<br />Good night!

Sundays in church we got a peppermint from her that tasted like Eww de Cologne. You get used to everything eventually, lol.<br /><br />What's with Lithuanian? Do you teach it or do you study it?<br /><br />Oh, a VW Beetle! My grandfather (married to the grandmother mentioned above) had a Beetle. We sort of inherited it when he wasn't able to drive anymore. My first memories of a car are that Beetle (I was about three at the time, lol) <br /><br />Words can hurt like hell! Just look at children who have heard negative or abusive words. They almost never get over that. <br /><br />Chocolate, oh my. If my doctor gets his way I never ever taste chocolate again ... sigh!

It has gotten me through many bad times :-)<br />I think that words are always the most powerful gift and weapon there is, and that actually people learn that early in life. Children learn how to hurt with them and then as adults we teach them that STCKS AND STONES CAN BREAK MY BONES BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT ME poem and while it is a good start and teaching them how to ignore and develop a bit of a hide and how to chose what actually matters, it is a dreadful lie, isn't it?<br />My pets seem to go through eating spurts, my kids too. With the kids we call it a prelude to a growth spurt. When I do it, it's called a binge LOL<br />Love to you today!Marty !http://martthetart.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695149.post-80548472655250622682010-06-24T12:31:58.000+01:002010-06-24T12:31:58.000+01:00bobs.........did I hear someone say Bob?????

Add dry ingredients to the mug, and mix well.<br />2. Crack an egg and add it to your mug. Be sure to mix it well to avoid any pockets of flour in the corners. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the vanilla extract.<br />3. Pop your mug into the microwave & zap for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000watt). Wait until the cake stops rising, and sets in the mug.<br />4. If necessary, run a knife around the sides of the mug, and tip the still warm cake out of the mug and onto a saucer.<br /><br /><br />I, uh, use kahlua and chocolate chips in lieu of vanilla extract.<br /><br />add vanilla ice cream topped with moar kahlua or creme de cacao and life is good, baby.JinJa Kinghttp://jadedtales.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695149.post-85523139370778862262010-06-24T05:11:23.000+01:002010-06-24T05:11:23.000+01:00Five Minute Chocolate Cake in a Cup. *nodsFive Minute Chocolate Cake in a Cup. *nodsJinJa Kinghttp://jadedtales.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695149.post-49761883806174701132010-06-24T04:22:49.000+01:002010-06-24T04:22:49.000+01:00Yay for a non-poefte Romany. :D
