Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 DaveO Suit your self, as for me I am not one that fights which is why I usually stay clear of the conversation on this group because no matter what you post it is usually torn apart and make into something it is not. The recipes are the only thing on this list that is usually not flammable and sometimes even that isn't so. With all that is going on in the world I do not really care what interatctions go on, on this list. I am sorry that you took the stance about my post as you did but to each their own. The good thing about living in the U.S. is we are all free to have our own opinions and as I have allways been told they are a dime a dozen and we each have one. Sorry my topic wasn't to your liking but that's what makes the world go around our individually there are some topics that you post that I don't care about either but so be it. Life goes on at least for know. In my race (Native American) we only sweat the big stuff the rest will take care of it's self. Have a great day.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Autumn, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. My comments did not refer to either you or your post about statistics. I attempted to be supportive of your point of view, which I agree with, and I referred only to a confusing post which we both responded to. You and I exchanged a number of positive emails in the past and I see no reason to change any of that because of this. If this misunderstanding has upset you, please accept my public apology. My preference is also for less conflict in the group, and I try to avoid it by asking useful questions rather than attacking someone personally. The knowledge contained within this group is vast, and tapping into it offers rewards to all of us. The process of bringing it out is not always easy. Recent " dustups " have not been pleasant either to watch and to be a part of. I see it much like growing a garden. There's lots of hard works in the beginning, and then you eventally get the wonderful fruits and veggies to enjoy. We have that image waiting before us.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 DaveO Your apology is accept and I am also sorry for the misunderstanding between. Yes, we have some exchanged some positive emails before and I hope also do not see why this should change. It is so hard to know what is in one's heart when all we can see is words on an email, it makes for alot of misunderstandings as we can not show inflectons and such and that so makes a difference in our words. Yes, I was also confused by the post and was trying to make light of a situation as their has been so much hostility on the list as of late. Again I accept your apology and am very glad that this was just a misunderstanding and nothing more. Thanks, and have a great weekend.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Didn't do the fruit thing but id the veggie thing, my daughter and I love to have a pizza ocassionaly but the store bought ones do not meet our requirements, meaning good chunky veggies so we deceided to make our own. We first bought a crust at the supermarket, garlic, onions, spinach, green peppers, fresh roma tomatos, and a spagetti sauce (not a pizza sauce) and cheese, all I can say is wow we cut our veggies chunck size added plenty of garlic, dried oregeno, dried italian seasoning and it was dynamite. Ok, I agree with the color for the different color fruits, sounds great to me.

I made a homemade pizza awhile back. I used my pizza stone and made homemade pizza dough. It puffed up like crazy in the oven. Luckily my mistake turned out to be delightful. Pan pizza cheese lovers with mushrooms, onions and jalapenos (up to 3 toppings) from Pizza Hut. That was a staple a few years ago. Gotta have the jalps. I've started to experiment with black olives as well. Yum. Cheers, Shawn " I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I hoped it could be.

" Peter Gibbons - Office Space ----Original Message Follows---- Autumn <ck72198 RE: Statistics Fri, 21 Feb 2003 19:00:30 -0800 (PST) Didn't do the fruit thing but id the veggie thing, my daughter and I love to have a pizza ocassionaly but the store bought ones do not meet our requirements, meaning good chunky veggies so we deceided to make our own. We first bought a crust at the supermarket, garlic, onions, spinach, green peppers, fresh roma tomatos, and a spagetti sauce (not a pizza sauce) and cheese, all I can say is wow we cut our veggies chunck size added plenty of garlic, dried oregeno, dried italian seasoning and it was dynamite. Ok, I agree with the color for the different color fruits, sounds great to me.

Why don't we just say red = apple orange = orange blue = blueberries etc. etc. Agreed? Yes agreed. Oh sorry...to make my LAST post and this post ON TOPIC..The other night I had a bowl of mixed chopped fruit. It consisted of chopped pineapple, green melon, cantaloupe, strawberries, red grapes, watermelon and kiwi fruit. It was very very cold. The best part was the mixed juice that was left in the bottom of the bowl. Planning on chopping some more this weekend.

" Let's develop a keyboard that can express our emotions and tones through our typing. The keyboard will have sensors that record how fast and how hard we type. There will be a color chart with several shades. Red (angry) color color Yellow (happy) color color Blue (sad) Maybe even depressed somewhere in there. Harder and faster typing will result in a red font. Average will result in yellow etc. etc. Of course there are always variables. We can personalize the program. Perhaps you are a faster typer or maybe you type faster and harder when you are happy instead of mad. It's all adjustable and we make millions. Shawn p.s. Ummm...hmmm..What color should express boredom? LOL. " I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I hoped it could be.

Yes, we have some exchanged some positive emails before and I hope also do not see why this should change. It is so hard to know what is in one's heart when all we can see is words on an email, it makes for alot of misunderstandings as we can not show inflectons and such and that so makes a difference in our words. Yes, I was also confused by the post and was trying to make light of a situation as their has been so much hostility on the list as of late. Again I accept your apology and am very glad that this was just a misunderstanding and nothing more. Thanks, and have a great weekend. Autumn daveo wrote:Autumn, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. My comments did not refer to either you or your post about statistics. I attempted to be supportive of your point of view, which I agree with, and I referred only to a confusing post which we both responded to. You and I exchanged a number of positive emails in the past and I see no reason to change any of that because of this. If this misunderstanding has upset you, please accept my public apology. My preference is also for less conflict in the group, and I try to avoid it by asking useful questions rather than attacking someone personally. The knowledge contained within this group is vast, and tapping into it offers rewards to all of us. The process of bringing it out is not always easy. Recent " dustups " have not been pleasant either to watch and to be a part of. I see it much like growing a garden. There's lots of hard works in the beginning, and then you eventally get the wonderful fruits and veggies to enjoy. We have that image waiting before us. You have a great day too, Autumn, DaveO Autumn [ck72198] DaveO Suit your self, as for me I am not one that fights which is why I usually stay clear of the conversation on this group because no matter what you post it is usually torn apart and make into something it is not. The recipes are the only thing on this list that is usually not flammable and sometimes even that isn't so. With all that is going on in the world I do not really care what interatctions go on, on this list. I am sorry that you took the stance about my post as you did but to each their own. The good thing about living in the U.S. is we are all free to have our own opinions and as I have allways been told they are a dime a dozen and we each have one. Sorry my topic wasn't to your liking but that's what makes the world go around our individually there are some topics that you post that I don't care about either but so be it. Life goes on at least for know. In my race (Native American) we only sweat the big stuff the rest will take care of it's self. Have a great day. Autumn daveo wrote: Autumn, Clearly, statistics is not about self-delusion, it's an extremely powerful extension of mathematics. I suggest a person of the right mind can take any of society's ideas, achievements, or even it's language and slander them totally into oblivion while offering little more than a " cutely parsed phrase " to justify the self-serving pronouncement. Not exactly my idea of useful or helpful dialogue. DaveO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 DaveO, unfortunately I don't remember which dough recipe I used. I just faintly remember the malformed dough shape and how good it tasted. I do have a couple of pizza ckbks if you ever need a pizza or dough recipe (New York, Chicago, basic, wholewheat styles).

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Okay, I guess I'll just stick with my Boboli Italian pizza crust based pizza. They go from the freezer to the serving plate in about 30 minutes. DaveO _- MatrixenO -_ [matrixeno] DaveO, unfortunately I don't remember which dough recipe I used.
