yes, exactly. However, I meant THE FICUS, The Monster-Ficus of TC, not any Ficus.
Hi I'm new ... and I am loving the variety of topics!
I second Larry's welcome Christina. If you want variety this is the place.
Well, if your idea of variety is good cheese and pop culture. Mine is, so I love it here.
I'm new to goodreads in general but I've read through some of the posts here and think this is my kind of place.
Hey, now "they" are saying cheese is good for you, rejoice TC! Altho the suggestion of 1 oz a day, the size of your thumb, is ludicrous. http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healt...
Yum, cheese! I just joined up today so I thought I'd pop in and say hello.Hello.
Hi Melinda! Okay, so if you join, you have to hop up and down on one foot while tapping your nose and rubbing your head 50 times. Then we can make your membership official. :)

I could just tell you I've done the hopping and tapping and rubbing thing and hope for the best, couldn't I? No proof required?
This group is like college from Thursday nights til Sunday midday :) ..... alright a skosh more cerebral, but possibly the equivalent in amusement :) ...... so Bonjour nouveaux amis :)

AHHHHH "cheers" Jim , merci mon ami....next round on moi :)
Well if we're getting drunk, we might as well do it right.
Well I would say we are well on our way to doing it correctly, it's well after midnight and we're exchanging shots! Appears 2 more reasons to raise a glass :) (& the disclaimer on it being a Monday night is that it's a Holiday ::cheshire grin:: ) ..... Oh wait that makes it THREE more reasons...... CHEERS!

Hey this is a strange question but does anybody know when they stopped selling cheese in wooden boxes?I mean like kraft velveeta and such.The reason I ask is I helped a friend move some things and I seen the boxes so I asked if I could have them because my wife decorated the kitchen in wine and cheese type theme so I thought they would be neat and out of curiousity I googled them and they are worth money that was a suprise but I couldnt find any history on them. so if anyone has any ideas please let me know!
Hi, I am Lusi, I am too glad to join you!!

I remember the cheese they used to give out to welfare and social security recipients. (I was never on welfare, my grandmother was on social security.) That was gooood cheese!
lol welfare cheese tasty and can double as a boncy ball and other Mcgyver type projects! I did a little research and they use to package them in wood in the 30s and 40s I still am a little suprised that a wooden cheese box is worth money! Americans have capitalism so ingrained in our covetous spoiled lives that we will spend money on anything! And I hate to say that far to many people in this great nation are Ethnocentric and ignorant to almost everything that isnt directly involved in there lives!sorry Im Ranting had a shitty night at work!LOL
What kind of box are you looking for exactly Tim? I may have some round cheese boxes in the basement from when I worked for a cheese factory. They would be around 12 - 14" diameter. Cheddar came in them at least until the 90's when I quit working there. Never saw velveeta in a wood box, but that would be a lot smaller than these boxes.
you worked in a cheese factory jim? that is somehow funny/cool and ironic. i think i will begin using that now in convo."you think that that's cool, you should have seen what i saw when i worked in the cheese factory"
"whoa nelly! didn't you used to work in the cheese factory with me?"

What were the odds Kevin, I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life.
Two different cheese factories actually.

I guess the odds are not to bad because I in neighboring Illinois live 15 miles from a cheese factory I never worked there though! I built semi trailers until I decided that I like climate controlled enviroments and wenr back to school to get my nursing licsense the pay is alot better and the jobs alot more gratifying And on the brightside I get to work with a bunch of beautiful ladies! That also happens to be the downside!lol

My great aunt still lives where she did then, and whenever we go visit the fields/area where the strawberry plant used to be is pointed out to me.
The Biersdorfs of Gresham are very sure of this fact.
I didn't know they grew a lot of strawberries in that area, either. There seems to be no limit to the things I don't know.

My unknown knowledge is limitless too Larry.
