HI!

Now I get this message here on the green side, aw well as the blue side, when I try to reply to a PM, or even start a new one:

"Sorry, there is a fault in the PM system and your message cannot be sent."

Any ideas???

Best!

Given the reverence with which the Holy Roman Church treats the Shroud, and their knowledge of it - I find it quite surprising that the Vatican would allow a REPAIR patch be taken for testing. It would rather suit their cause by ensuring the original fabric was testes. Can they claim to be NOT AWARE...

I bet it cut down on recidivism!!!!

That's not my problem - it is the so-called heroics they seem to cloak themselves in - aren't we heroes - making these sacrifices?? There are many, many people every day who go in harm's way - and make NO claims except, if asked , that they are doing their jobs. I think of firefightes, police, other...

I have zero sympathy for someone who willingly goes in harm's way, in the pursuit of income, and then finds harm. I don't care if it is a journalist - or Evel Knievel, same goal, same risk, same thing.

It's called Defensive Driving!!!! LOL!!!

I was sort of thinking of a HUMMV!!!!!!!

I spent over 5 years running around Russia in my BMW - no probs - Cairo not much different from Russian drivers!!!!

The biggest rock thrown here is a buttermilk biscuit!!!!! LOL!!!!

CHURCHILL DOWNS!!!!!

Sweet tea is great - but it doesn't hold a candle to a Mint Julep!!!!!!

Therein lies another story!!!

OK, now a FUN topic! Actually, Mary, chitlin's is chopped up pig intestines - usually fried!! Sounds horrible, but then UK has haggis!!!!! The rest you are right on. I would KILL for a bisc & gravy b'fast - gravy loaded with black pepper and pork bits!!!! YUM!!!!! Heart attack on a plate!!! Yes,...

Mary, I can't wait til you tell them about chitlin's!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Maybe even sorghum an' sowbelly!!!!

Just as an update - reference the blue side - the fish is imported from Australia by a reputable firm, tested thoroughly when imported into Uk, is delicious cooked a variety of ways, is available at Arkwright's here in Luxor - and - by the way - I looked at the original cited blog and I could find n...

A big thanks for the advice!

I think I'll hang this one on my lawyer!!

Best to all,
Scott

I think that's good news - and will do until we get to the nitty-gritty and a lawyer gets involved.
