Jell-O? Hell-No. Even as a kid I wasn't very fond of this jiggling, shaky dessert. The best use for Jell-O is in the old
saying about the futility of nailing Jell-O to the wall. As a substitute I suggest a grape slush. :smiley_innocent:

I don't seem to be able to strike an agreeable chord with my Jell-o.

Then try putting it back inside the Tupperware container and then start banging the top of the container with a large wooden spoon.

(...if it's about half-full, you should end up getting a sound in the range of A-flat)

Sounds good. But it's already falling flat.

I thought that good ole Jello-0, if not a hit, a least would have been a curio and draw a cyber smile, but nothing but a discouraging word. I didn't know that about gelatin. Not that I have worry, I am a manic carnivore and consume scads of animal flesh, and loving it. My sister is a vegetarian and I cannot so much as say "eggs" around her without a nasty reaction. I have to say "protein." One of these days vegans and vegetarians are going to have militias so they can threaten us all. I can almost hear Ride of the Valkyries in the distance. Sorry Jello, the vegans are in charge. I'm actually surprised that you are still around. Careful, if you are able to walk around like in some cartoon, beware; you are in danger ;)

Jell-O was invented in LeRoy NY, about 30 miles south of Rochester. My friend wrote a book on it:

I make Jell-O molds every Halloween-strawberry with a little whipped cream makes a perfect brain:

A-1 Cool! Finally some good press. But O God, I was hoping that was a heart. I'm not sure I can eat brains. Weird surprise, Yes. As much as I like jello I may prefer the Fruit Cocktail. Not that I think you are going to invite me over for Halloween, lol. Nevertheless, thank you, i see JELLO making a comeback here. Vive Le Jello!

I wonder why I now have the urge to break out singing selections from a certain Emerson, Lake & Palmer album???

Forgive me again, guys. This doesn't seem to be my month, health-wise, but I will return (whether you want me to or not, lol) very soon.

Carry on!

Thank you so much, diane, and, welcome!

lafitte, just before I sign off, I must tell you that I was not being ironic about puppets, clowns or Santa Claus! They terrify me! (well, maybe not Topo Gigio or Kukla and Ollie) As for clowns, forget it -- they are all scary as hell. And Santa (except for Edmund Gwenn playing him) always seems demonic to me.

Sue Sue, welcome! I am honored!

Andree and Dargo, I'll answer your posts re: ants and other insects, soon.

(and no, Mr. R. is still around somewhere)

In addition to my other bodily complaints, I had to endure the humiliation of seeing Bogie as a Mexican in VIRGINIA CITY this morning.

See you all shortly.

I just ordered some extra pickles from Instacart to shore me up.

Ida usually outshines her material but ESCAPE ME NEVER is tough going.

See you soon!
