Kirsten, I had never heard that story before. I love it! Hard to imagine someone pulling that off today and not having some sort of legal repercussions. I read many of Christie's books when I was young - er.

[Sharon]

I've read the first two Chelsea Cain books. Do you advise to stop reading after 5?

Our Blue Heeler Dog is not spayed either - he is breeding stock (and loves it!) - has sired 27 beautiful purebred blue heelers so far. 8:D

Yeh...my husband doesn't believe in "fixing" animals. He says all the men in the family have to stick together...so he has grouped himself with our 2 male Labs. He thinks they should enjoy their life!!!

Otto is not neutered, I decided to keep him intact as long as it wasn't a problem. He is eight years old now and is healthy. As long as you are a responsible owner there shouldn't be a problem. I also raw feed and minimally vaccinate. I believe that a lot of the diseases our pets are being diagnosed with ie: cancer, arthritis, skin diseases, allergies, etc. are caused by eating a diet that is not natural and we are told they should have all these poisons put into their bodies. If we castrated men as boys like we do our animals at a young age...and vaccinated our children like they say our animals must be Ok... off my soap box :)

[Sue]

I agree with you Lynn. Our dogs were brought up with love but well trained. They have never chewed on anything in the house, including shoes, furniture as I have a lot of antiques. They know that they cannot go on any furniture that doesn't have a blanket on it. They have beds all over the house, but still prefer to sleep with us in our king size bed. I feed them well and they love liver and salmon and raw fruits and veggies.

Thanks Ty, I was just trying to find out how others deal with review requests. I always try to get to them as soon as possible.

[Freda]

Ahh, yes, tea time, I love tea time. Where's the tea? :)

What time is tea time? I drink it whenever I want to lol. But am curious what time of day is tea time.

Elaine, that is interesting. They have the UK edition (for EU and UK readers only) AND the US edition (US and Canada readers only). This is Harlan Coban's new book.

Well tea time is on the hour I guess, but we have just had our sit down evening meal LOL

Just requested The Stranger from NG.

[Elaine]

Me too Christine ---- good luck and fingers crossed for a "YES"!

[Janet , Moderator]

Some Brits call sitting down to tea what is otherwise known as dinner. It's a pet peeve of mine but I don't like it. Breakfast is breakfast, lunch is lunch and dinner is dinner. I hate it when people call lunch dinner!! It's lunch!!!

Anyway, better go before I get shot at!!

[Sharon]

I remember when tea time was what we called our evening meal. there is also high tea which was a snack and cuppa in the middle of the afternoon but before the evening meal

[Elaine]

Just to make it more confusing, we had a full english breakfast for our evening meal :)

Like every hour or the supper hour?

[Christine]

Elaine wrote: "Just to make it more confusing, we had a full english breakfast for our evening meal :)"

I could eat breakfast for breakfast, lunch and supper. Elaine, describe a full English breakfast please.

[Christine]

Janet, in my experience in this country, most people call lunch lunch, but the farmers all call it dinner, probably because it is their biggest meal of the day. I might be strange, but I call the evening meal supper, unless I am going out. Then it's dinner. I agree with Janet that calling lunch dinner is just plain wrong! *running same direction as Janet*

[David]

I recall reading something along those lines, Chris: that dinner is the biggest meal of the day, whenever it may be.

[Elaine]

Christine, we had bacon, sausages, fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns and toast.

There is someting just so awesome about having a full breakfast, no matter what time of day it is.

[Elaine]

I dont ever call a meal dinner. I have breakfast, lunch and tea. But, I always think that lunch time should be dinner time because when we were at school we always had "dinner ladies".

[Christine]

Elaine wrote: "Christine, we had bacon, sausages, fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns and toast.

Elaine, that just sounds heavenly. Bacon AND sausage! Orgasmic!

[David]

Good point, Elaine; same here. Nobody ever called them lunch ladies. Ladies that lunch, but that's something completely different.

[Elaine]

oh, to be a lady who lunches!

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol!! Yes, but at school it's called lunch break but they have dinner ladies?!! It's madness. I either call it evening meal, dinner or supper depending on the hour really but never tea!!

Elaine, growing up we used to have full English in the evenings, I still do it now.

[Sharon]

ah but then there is the full Scottish breakfast Christine which is bacon, square sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, potato scones, toast, fried egg sometimes we have clootie dumpling, fruit pudding

[Freda]

My grandmother liked baked beans and kippers? Did I spell that right? I couldn't stomach half the stuff my grandmother made herself for breakfast.

[Christine]

Sharon wrote: "ah but then there is the full Scottish breakfast Christine which is bacon, square sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, potato scones, toast, fried egg sometimes we have clootie dumpling, fruit pudding"

Sharon, that sounds fascinating! Could you define black pudding and clootie dumpling? What kind of fruit in the fruit pudding? I love scones, but never had a potato scone.

[Ty]

David wrote: "I recall reading something along those lines, Chris: that dinner is the biggest meal of the day, whenever it may be."

It used to be. I think now with all the health consciousness, lunch is recommended to be the biggest meal.

[Kath]

Black pudding is blood pudding - blood, fat, herbs, sometimes grains like barley. It's fried with the bacon and eggs at breakfast. We used to have a full English just on a Sunday morning but sometimes now we have it for 'tea'. Our evening meal in the north of England is usually described as tea.

[Christine]

Oh boy, Kath. I think I'll skip that dish. Do you guys just go to the store and pick up a quart of blood or how does that work?

Black Pudding is horrible !!

[Freda]

Sean wrote: "Black Pudding is horrible !!"

LOL@Sean You too huh?....have you tried it or is it just the thought of blood pudding?

[Kath]

It's ready made! Fried, it's delicious. You buy it by the slice or by a length -like a big salami. I also use it in something like a beef casserole - it thickens the gravy.

And of course, the more people who don't like it, the more for me! ;)
