Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 16, 2012

That would definitely be a strong brine.

Howdy, marg.Drove across the US just to post first, just to be one minute late…Like me some brine, however.“Float an egg in it” is just not used enough these days.

In answer to Teresa’s question here…

It is my assumption that Yelp has ways of recognizing many proxy services and the servers they use. It’s not uncommon for a company like Yelp to preemptively ban the IP addresses of known Web proxies and anonymizing services.

I was surprised to see William McAdoo’s name on that list. It turns out that he was UA’s general counsel as well as a smart investor.

I couldn’t track down anything on the picture from Walter Reed. It looks like a WW I-era picture; at a guess, the patient was being treated for trench mouth. I’d go into details but you might have plans to eat this week.

Actually, my nude red-haired interlocutor, brine-testing is not a thing high on my To Do list. What say you to that? Answer with care!

What happened to 3hourtour? http://www.gocomics.com/people/133618

You float YOUR eggs in what you want….mine are OK where they are.

Brine follows NO thumb rules.

Yes, she’s sunny side up … but with the moon rising.

Good to know.

Ah, yes, the brine of the ancient mariner . . .. .. ☻

The red haired lady needs to fire her plastic surgeon.

Yet, at least she has breasts…eyes, arms and feet are another matter.

“Whatever floats your boat”

That Walter Reed pic made me think of the remake of Willy Wonka…

More on McAdoo: [from Wikipedia]

…McAdoo’s actions at the time were both bold and outrageous. The United States in 1914 was still a net debtor nation (i.e., Americans’ aggregate debt to foreigners was greater than foreigners’ aggregate debt to Americans). The nations of Europe and their financial institutions held far more in debt of the United States; of many of the states of the Union; and of American private institutions of all kinds, than investors in the United States held in the debt of Europe’s nations and institutions in all forms, both public and private.

McAdoo kept the U.S. currency on the Gold Standard. He arranged the closing of the New York Stock Exchange for an unprecedented four months in 1914 to prevent Europeans from selling American securities and exchanging the proceeds for dollars, and then gold.

Economist William L. Silber wrote that the wisdom and historical impact of this action cannot be overemphasized.10 McAdoo’s bold stroke, Silber writes, as a first consequence averted an immediate panic and collapse of the American financial and stock markets. But also, it laid the groundwork for an historic and decisive shift in the global balance of economic power, from Europe to the United States; a shift which occurred exactly at that time. More than this, McAdoo’s actions both saved the American economy and its future allies from economic defeat in the early stages of the war…

And I thought I was well versed on world war one.

Lotsa cool stuff on the blog today, Ms. T!

The subtleties in today’s background defy description. I not have the words!

From the pics on the blog, one can see why Marilyn Monroe was such a sex symbol! Pure innocence in a body by Fisher!

RE: Blog – I think JEAN SEBERG deserves her own category to make it easier to find pics of her. She’s Beautiful.

Is that an I C Chest?

…i had pickled eggs with TLB yesterday…

No,no, no! Not Seberg! Ekberg! Ekberg! get it straight!OMG, it is straight. And at my age…

I always appreciate a redhead in my brine.

“The Life of Brine” was a funny movie, but I don’t recall any floating eggs in it.
