Guest guest Report post Posted November 1, 2005 Eggs are used in most regions. However, some regions, like Piedmont just use plain old flour and potatoes ("boiling" potatoes). When Noni made them, she made them both ways depending on the time of year (hens quite laying during the winter). When she didn't have eggs, she used real starchy potatoes and wheat that was high in protein. She also kneaded the dough a lot more and let it "rest" before dumping it in the water. They didn't fall apart. Lynda - peter hurd < swpgh01 wrote: What binds the potato together to stop it breaking when boiled?, or do you just use a very starchy type of spud? The Valley Vegan.........

Guest guest Report post Posted November 1, 2005 HI Alex I reckon having a baby was a better deal, don't you :-) I have heard only one Medieval Babes tape and I thought it was beautiful, so I hope to hear them on Saturday - also Incubus Sucubus and I believe there is a fairly heavy goth band as well. It should be good. Jo - Alex Iantaffi Tuesday, November 01, 2005 4:27 PM Re: Re: 800 members?? Hi Jo,I know the feeling about not enough money to buy all the shinies at these events :-) It will be my first witchfest too. I had tickets two years ago but ended up in labour instead! I am really looking forward to medieval babes live in the evening too as I really like their music.

I've not been before - we usually go to thePagan Federation Conference, but decided to give Witchfest a go thisyear. There seem to be loads of good speakers and entertainmentthere. The only problem is - I never have enough money to buyeverything from the stalls at these places - never mind - I will pickup a few lovely items I am sure. We'll look out for you.BBJo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted November 1, 2005 Hi Alex. I remember you mentioned on another post that you have multible partners. I'm assuming that is relationship partners? If so, I'm wondering (and I think there are others here that also might be able to answer) how work is divided. Do you all share the work loads and money? Does it work out well for you. If I'm being too nosey and curious, tell me so, please. I don't want to be offending at all. Peter <metalscarab wrote: Hi Alex > *waves at Peter and Jo* *waving back* Nice to see that you've got round to joining up... :-) It's nice to have someone else on the list that I know "in person".

I guess now we can confuse everyone by making references to conversations from "real" (as opposed to "virtual") life :-) BB Peter FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

I have an open mind, but if I were to engage in lifelstyle that is not the mainstream, I would have to work hard to keep it a secret. unfortunatley it is sad but my family and relatives are real judgemental of any behaviour outside the norm, (heavily catholic) and so If I where to venture outside of a normal marriage or even before I met my husband..

Guest guest Report post Posted November 2, 2005 Hi Anouk I can understand your parents point of view, and assume that they want what they consider to be the best for you. If they are happy in a one-to-one exclusive relationship, as I am, it would be hard to imagine that anything other situation could be as good for their children. I know it would not suit me. I love Colin very, very much. I would not be able to share him. I would rather be resigned to not having him at all than sharing him - that would prolong the agony for me - but I guess everyone is different. My own wonderings on poly relationships is whether sometimes a person may become involved because they love ~one~ person who is already in a relationship, and although it might not be ideal for them, they feel it is better than nothing. Is it possible to love two or more people in a sexual way equally - or doesn't it matter to the participants? Do people in poly relationships always remain in poly relationships or do some of them eventually become exclusive - and does this cause hurt to the rest of the group? So many questions. Anyway - it is none of my business, but I am always interested in people. Jo , " Anouk Sickler " <zurumato@e...> wrote: > > <jonnie_hellens> wrote: > > Hi Alex.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 2, 2005 All these challenging names to figger out eh? I met my DH thru the college website. He invited me to check out his BBS. We chatted and messaged back and forth for a while, but he didn't know I was a female until we met up to exchange software. I sure would have liked to been able to eavesdrop on his conversations with his other friends! I learned later that he really liked what he saw when I was leaving... We got to know each other pretty well before we ever met. He was a very shy genious ... and I'm not! We probably never would have met otherwise.Anouk Sickler <zurumato wrote: so I am assuming Alex is a girl person?sorry I haven't kept up with the emails. , "jo" <jo.heartwork@g...> wrote:>> HI Alex> > I reckon having a baby was a better deal, don't you :-)> FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 2, 2005 Damn, another fantasy blown! I just found out a friend of mine is pregnant. Her signifigant other is African-American and she is white. His family is devout cath and can't accept them because she's pregnant out of wed-lock. Her family can't accept them because he's African-American. Interestingly enough, her sister is gay and my friend supported her through everything, including acceptance by the family and she's the biggest thorn in my friend's side right now. It's just too sad. I would like to hope that I would accept my children's lifestyles. I'll be the first to tell them that I may not like it and why, but I accept their choices. I know that I will always love them no matter what.Anouk Sickler <zurumato wrote: <jonnie_hellens> wrote:> Hi Alex. I remember you mentioned on another post that you havemultible partners.
