Mary from Bibra Lake WA

I usually use the time to make a cuppa.
Don't have kids to scream at now and hubby gets upset if I scream at him too often.
BTW found your YouTube very thought provoking and will keep an eye out for the film.

Mary, buffalo wings are spicy chicken wings that you eat after dipping in (traditionally) blue cheese dressing, but often in ranch dressing. We have just discovered a recipe that tastes very much like the ranch dressing we loved in the US, though you can buy Paul Newman ranch dressing at Coles or Woolworths...

Hi girls. I was checking out Mary's page (Hi, Mary!) because I love the comments on at the pics and was hoping to there would be personal pix here.
At any rate, howdy from Oregon!

Re the American Ranch dressing, if you guys have the good seasons dried dressing ingredients, theirs for Ranch dip is wonderful! Also excellent is their mix for Italian dressing if you substitute olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For the latter, you need one of their dressing bottles, which are usually sold as a package deal, with a couple of packets of the Italian dressing mix, where they're sold. If you don't have them, and would like them, let me know and we can arrange for a care package.

Mary, for the longest time I thought you were from my neck of the woods. I mistook "WA" for Washington state in the US of A. Thought your comments about movies were a bit sublime for a typical US viewer. Now I understand why.

Thanks, Mary for the birthday wishes. It is great to get wishes from so many people.

Hello Mary - I'd just like to say a big for your congratulations on the birth of my grandson, Bailey.
Thank you from me, Amanda, Wayne and Johnathan.

Hi Mary
Thank you for your message on my page, it feels so good to be able to say 5 years, I want the world to know.

Just had a look at your You-tube, The children of Uganda deserve so much better, found the You-tube very moving, so thanks for sharing it.

Hi Mary,
which recipe did you use? I need to know what ingredients you used before I can advice you.

Hi Mary
Forgot to say before there is a great recipe for Poffertjes on the recipe page, I tried it for one of my mums anniversaries and they were great.

Hi Mary
Many thanks for your welcome - my husband is from Perth so have spent many holidays in WA!

hi Mary - many thanks for your kind birthday wishes the other day! Nice to have a message from you.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Mary - I did indeed have a good one. I hope everything is going well with you.

The French normally sit down to incredibly large meals, but on the odd occasion I've attended a buffet it includes vol au vents, pate,and they tend to have fork eatable food. Coleslaw and potato and other similar salads, plenty of bread and cheeses, oysters, prawns, plenty of charcuterie - sliced cold meats like salami, ham, saucisson, maybe pieces of pizza and quiche. Don't forget copious amounts of wine, rose if it is a warm day and lots of red.

Hewwo Mary, Thank you for the bithday wishes last week and I'm sorry it has taken so long to say Thanks

You are welcome Mary. Glad you like it. I have some of his postes on my walls at home in Montréal... and I send as many card as possible of his paintings... Soon someone will tell me they received same one twice!

Oups ...should read poster of his paintings.

Hi Mary - it is easy to slip under the radar and miss someone starting out and I am delighted to have met you in person. I am looking forward to Christmas. for the welcome and the friendly conversation.

Hi Mary - do you think we are in much danger of being snuck up on by fellow sudokuists? They seem like a very friendly lot. maybe we should go around with dark glasses on in disguise.

Hi again,
The wig would definitely help! Maybe a trench coat as well?

Hi Mary,
I have put up one of our wedding photos on my page if you were interested in having a look. We talked about it on Thursday at morning tea.

Thanks for the comments about the wedding photo - I am glad you liked the YouTube - we went to see Adam Hills on stage when he was touring with the Spick and Spectacular show recently. I think he is hilarious.

Hey Mary - enjoy the Olympics I hope Australia wins lots of medals so you will be forced to sing the new Australian anthem loud and strong! He He He

Hi Mary! for visiting me! Yes, as you can see I'm a shortie! But I've a big personality to make up for it!
Originally I thought you were from Washington state in the US but after googling Bibra Lake WA, I've learned WA stands for West Australia! Ok it takes me awhile to learn. Must be fascinating there! Hopefully you'll get your photo gallery up to show! I'd love to see Bibra Lake and you!

Don't be awestruck Mary, I came by my information unethically. I listened in while no one was paying attention. I left a more detailed description of my intelligence gathering techniques on a private inbox message.

Hi Mary,
Just thought I would say hi - and I want to test out my new avatar! Hope you like it.

Hi Mary,
His a a real cutie pie - he is getting interested in the world and crawls everywhere. Hard to pin down now. He is, however, getting some new teeth and is therefore a bit grumpy about that. I am so glad that parenting isn't an option for me any more, I much prefer grandparenting!

Hey Mary - don't you have access to a scanner or digital camera? How frustrating not to be able to make an avatar if you want to.

Drat! The fairy tale wasn't really put there to love. I was hoping to make a political statement, maybe a little to obscure for most purposes but an expression, none the less, describing one viewpoint of a current trend.

C'mon Mary, drawing fire is what its all about. Without a little excitement along the way, what's the point of getting out of bed? Someone, the other day, made a comment about being tired of folks 'fishing for a response'. Why else post then? Phooey, I've been on my soapbox and you didn't ask for that so I just deleated a whole paragraph of vented spleen saving you the trouble of having to read it. The question growing now is, do I continue the crusade or just let it go? I'm beginning to feel like I am ******* into the wind.

Hi Mary - Just stopped by your page to say "hi" -
Thanks for your video - I have that movie on my queue to rent...have you seen it? It looks wonderful.
Anyway, just checking in on some of the pages I don't think I visited yet (although my memory may not serve me too well)

Hi Mary - have you had any luck with the avatars?

Hey Mary - you have to save them onto your system first - right click on the picture and select 'save as' and them put them somewhere you can find them like 'my documents'. Then go to the sudoku site and browse for them wherever you put them. I hope that makes sense.

Hi Mary - I thought you mightn't like the face shot that is why I gave you the flower as well just for a change. If you want something else just let me know and I will try to take a pic and reduce it for you. I have a nice one of a cup of coffee if you like?

Hi again - I have sent some more on e:mail but I will have to find a tim tam to photograph and will get it to you as soon as possible.

Thanks for the movie update about War Dance. I'm looking forward to seeing it... happily, no complaining kids at home to show it to! They are off making their way and realizing (finally!) how much there is to be grateful for.
BTW - I'm going to see Mama Mia on Friday...but I'm pretty sure I got a good preview of the soundtrack on the "Easy" puzzle postings!!!

The worse part is, Mary, that I'll probably be passing it along in my postings come Saturday! If this movie is a hit, we'll be hearing that singing for quite a while!!!

Mary, for the Happy Birthday Wishes for my #2 son Stephen last Saturday.
We had a family dinner, birthday boy chose the Menu.
Dutch Soup, Garlic Bread, Lasange and Salad, Apple and Rurbarb Crumble with Custard and Cream.

Hi Mary - the new avatar looks good (just in case anyone asks - it is a chocolate cake with custard filled profiteroles strawberries and cherries on top).

Mary - you don't have to eat it just look at it!
