Mam's waiting for TOPPs, maybe.

Theree are so many things that are causing our young people's deaths. I have a friend, grandaughter, bright, responsible, straight A student, driving alone to school ran one wheel off the road, and hit a tree, died on the scene, she was 16 and her second week of driving. she was talking on cell phone.

Mam's = Mama's

WELL, you got TOPPS Stella heheheh, pulling away from your competition are you?

That happened at my kids' school. The boy was a senior and bright and just spoke to the school about repsponible decision making since the prom was the next day. After school he went to pick up his paycheck and hit a bump on the road, lost control of the car and hit a tree. He knew of the bump and they think he was just so excited about everything that he took it too fast.

I think that girls death was caused by lack of experience driving, she had never had a wheel drop off the pavement before. and also distraction from the cell phone and only one hand on th e wheel, you know?? But i agree with Gail too, we cannot legislate common sense. Kids need to be taught.

I think Gail is either tied with me or just behind me. I like it when everyone is close.

How did that happen?? I refreshed and wound up on page 67!! I got back to current page, Then my box for comments went BLANK, before i sent it. Strange strange.

That happened to me before. Was sent to another page. And I lose the comments box alot. I just refresh again and it usually comes back.

OH MY, it is late and i have not had lunch. Al was out with weedeater, I made lunch, but did not call him in. He stops and does not get started again sometimes!

I should go and eat, good to chat.

MAMA, HOPE you are OK, and did not get booted from our chat!

There are not a lot of us here now, and it is not end of page, and it is not re boot time on the site. I do not seem to have thses problems on EASY do you??

I try to convince my son that he is not an experienced driver with less than a year driving, but boys tend to think they can do anything. We just had 5 rotaries put in by us and they are dangerous because people don't pay attention to the signs and don't know how to use it. I'm just waiting for him to get hit by one of them.

No, I don't have the problems on Easy, but then again I don't usually chat and make several posts on Easy. The odds have got to be in your favor there. Have a nice lunch!

WOW....Iwas not only booted once, but twice. I had to do everything to try and get back on...finally had to turn off the computer not once but twice, and wait for ever to get connected to the SA site general page, another long wait to get to current page...I'm tired now. Is any one still here?

Apoligies Stella and MizT....sorry we couldn't finish our chat...I'll read a little and visit some other pages...will check back in about 1/2 hour.

OH MAMA, you did have a hard time today! Yes, Know the all tired out feeling after jumping through all the hoops to get back to the site!

I am like Gail, I am not really here now. Just passing by and thought I would check in again.

Well I'vehecked back to find that I missed MizT, but perhaps not since she wasn't really here...lol. Perhaps this evening will be better....Peace.

Gail and/or Rola...Just checked the honey chicken receep and need you to clarify the following please....bake 30 minutes 190 or 170 fan forced'. I understand the time, and that it shoud be uncovered...but does 190 represent oven degrees? also the 170? What is meant by fan forced?

MAMA, I am answering for Rola or Gail. yes, 190 is temp, but in C, not F. 190*C = 375*F

Conversion of temps can be done at this site.

The fan forced I think, but do not quote me, is convection oven temp.

Hello, MizT. and Mamacita!

I guess I've missed everyone. The dinner bell tolls for me. Bye.

Mama, will also leave a note on your page but a fan forced oven has a fan in it to assist the hot air to circulate. I think it is possibly called fan-assisted? The temp setting in an oven with a fan is always lower than a conventional oven therefore 170 degrees Celcius for a fan assisted oven is about 350 degrees F, no fan 190C=375F

Stella, just having a quick read through and you made a perfect point about the numbers on the road. We do not have anywhere near the same numbers of kids on the road as in America so of course it isn't as big an issue here as it would be stateside. We do not have the same situation with the number of universities either.
At the moment, the big safety advertising here is 'don't be distracted while driving', mobile phones being the main target but also things like changing the radio or temp controls etc are just as bad, especially to an inexperienced driver. Cell phone use while driving is a big illegal no-no here, just ask D#1!
ps Not more ranting, just finishing!

Good Evening - Could an oven with a fan in it be called a convection oven?

In Aus, I think a convection oven is one that incorporates normal cooking with microwave cooking???
When I say a fan-forced oven I mean like a conventional oven with a fan in it.
Does that make any sense?

Egads, I can get here but cannot get to easy!

Must mean it's time to leave the pooter.
That's right Gail, back away from the pooter slowly, don't try anything funny, you hear!
Back this arvo.

HI Gail - I had a hard time getting back also. Yes, that does make sense. We have ovens that are microwave/convection. I know, in the past, ovens in regular stoves have been offered that were convection. I haven't been 'stove Shopping' in a long time. I don't know if they are still offered. It sounds like an oven with a fan in it would bake nice.

Good morning everyone - I am also not really here, just checking in.
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed our conversations last night, Stella & Gail. I have also enjoyed reading the follow up chat on the topic of drinking age, & I can see what you northeners are saying.

Thanks to all of you for the clarification re ovens and temps...and the conversion link is good to know to Miz T. I wonder if I'll have the same problems this evening as I did earlier in the day...we'll see. Miz T, thanks for your offer to contact your friend in Iowa, but I think it has been covered.Lots of helpful folks on site.

Good evening all! Is anyone around or is the page acting up again. Back from the soccer tryouts and ate dinner, BLT, yum!

Just want to report that I can't get to the second page of the receeps clip. I want to write down the receep for the chicken dish, but can't get to it Will have to try again later - hopefully it will fix itself cos I want to cook it tonight

Hi Jenni (not here) and Mama!

Hi Stella, I wanted to ask you - what is a Rotary that you were talking about before?

Wow, people are having problems all over! I haven't tried going anywhere else yet, came straight here. I'll check it out and see.

Sorry Mama, didn't see you there - hello. I am here, but I'm not, ha ha. Guess you know that if I go away it's because I got busy

Now my comment box is missing and I go to a different page. No smilies either!

Well now the box and smilies are back....weird!!!! Spoke too soon...just the box...no smilies....

A rotary is a small driving circle. Instead of a traffic signal, you drive in a circle and exit where you want to go. There are two lanes, an inside lane and an outside lane. People get confused which lane to go in and also enter when someone else is already there. Don't know if that helped?

It is not easy to get on today, gremlins in the ether!
