Doesn’t make me nervous at all, I’m pretty fatalistic; which is why I think global warming is such bunk, things happen: earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and cooling and warming, it is all part of planet earth.

[Arizona Carolyn]

~LOL~ we were in Tahiti when it erupted.

"I've had lima beans that bordered on delicious; but most of the time they were over on the other border of nastiness."

How is that possible? Starvation would almost be a better alternative to lima beans.

[Dallas59]

Yes. I was there in early June.

[blackbart.223]

"They also like asparagus, brussels sprouts and artichokes."

I can handle asparagus but brussels sprouts and artichokes are on the list of death or life if I can't get anything else.

LOL. You were fortunate.

I was in Yellowstone in 66 the week after the Hebgen fault rupture. My dad was staying on the Hebgen reservoir the week earlier. Downstream, Quake Lake was the outcome... and lives were lost. Lots of first hand stories... the woman who owned the fishing cabins that dad stayed in was rescued by her poodle, who drug her 100 yards to land after her cabins sunk under the lake due to the fault scarf. Some campers a few miles away were killed by boulders rolling over their tent. Drivers were drowned when the road down the canyon was inundated by the lake. I remember the “Mission 66” signs posted in Yellowstone. One of the editorial cartoons of the time showed one of these signs hanging upside down in front of the wreckage... mission 99.

lol, I love lima beans. I have some in my crockpot right now with a hambone and big chunk of country ham in them too.

They are bland without the ham I must admit :)

[glock rocks]

I’m convinced that artichokes, okra and brussels sprouts are food... I have grown them.

OTOH, tofu has never been proven to me to be food. I’d prefer to eat dryer lint.

[BigIsleGal]

“So it could just blow without warning?”

NO No NO....FEMA will get advanced noticed...and...etc.etc.etc.
Get with the GORE Program would ya?
/s ?

[blackbart.223]

"They are bland without the ham I must admit :)"

I'll take the ham without the lima beans thank you.

[glock rocks]

That’s exactly how I started out the day. Hambone, onion, celery, carrot, limas and chicken stock in the crock pot.

"OTOH, tofu has never been proven to me to be food. I’d prefer to eat dryer lint."

Now that we are on the subject what is the worst thing you ever tasted?

[glock rocks]

I hate cilantro. I love southwest food, but cilantro is a product of hell, delivered directly to us to determine our righteousness.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I’m in trouble, huh?

Always have been...I don't know why it should change now!

[blackbart.223]

"I hate cilantro."

Not too bad in salsa if used in moderation.

The worst thing I ever tasted was a Japanese drink made of distilled spirits and fish oil. I won't try to spell it because I can't. The taste lasted far to long.

[Royal Wulff]

I hated it too. Thought it tasted like soap. But figured there are millions of people who love it, so I just ate it until I acquired a taste for it. Love it now.

[Brad’s Gramma]

With FRiends like you it's pretty dam hard to get over my fear of nightmares

Boo!

[glock rocks]

Oh great. Now you’re going to have Tork wandering the streets of Eureka looking for melatonin handouts.

[glock rocks]

BTW, are you prepared for mudflows?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Yep. As prepared as a girl can be, I guess.
