My sister taught me to like the cut greens by putting Italian Dressing on them, wow, is it ever good! You can do that with the french cut ones as well. It's best to let them marinate for a while, but they're good fresh as well.

I will have to try that. Thanks for suggesting it.

I never thought I'd like cut green beans in anything but soup, I never thought of having them chilled this way. I don't add salt or pepper either, the dressing is full of spices.

So sorry you have Parkinson's. God be with you. Hugs.

You're not a "has been" you're an "are being". Gods Child and very important no matter what the condition of the body:)

I agree, sisgp, the body is not necessarily the reflection of the Spirit. And, yes, each soul is very important as co-creator of God. Often a soul will explore a disease condition to bring awareness to that condition ultimately to resolve it. This is a learning process.

Parson Wayne...you seem like such a nice, intelligent person. God loves us for our heart. Yours is pure as a human can be in life. He will help you through this life, as you know. Those who love and respect you do not think less of you because of your disability. God certainly does not, either!

Thank you all for your kind remarks. The outer building will perish, but the soul remains strong.

AS and others, don't feel sorry for me with Parkinson's Disease. It does not keep me from doing what I REALLY love to do. It just takes a little longer which isn't easy for someone who is also blessed with ADHD. ;-) I am truly blest far more than I deserve with wonderful friends like we have on this website.

I agree 100% - hugs PW

And hugs back to you, too.

Parson you've gotten a double whammy but I know God balances the bad with the good....He has given you a positive disposition, faith and a winning personality which you have been wise enough to appreciate in yourself and rely on. I won't feel sorry for you because I will accent the positive about you instead. You have already added life to this site--not that it hasn't been lively b4. But you are a welcome addition and we hope you stay with it.

Aye, aye 100% Pixi and thank you PW for your wit and wisdom. Hugs.

My dear wife looks at my punning as an incurable disease, although she has gotten off quite a few since she has been married to me.

You ARE special!!!!!

So glad you had a great birthday, aussie! Hope you have plenty more to share with all of us. Hugs.

Thank you Jamp. Hugs.

Thanks Aknan, and still working on it lol. Having morning tea with another friend this morning and again tomorrow and that's it for this year :))) - hugs.

Happy Birthday, Aussie! May the years ahead be filled with many blessings!

Happy Birthday to you. May your days be filled with joy and happiness. Many blessings. Grammy HUGS

Happy belated b-day, glad it was so wonderful for you!

Thank you Joyce, goof and kjd. It is still going lol, had morning tea with a friend yesterday, and another today whose birthday was yesterday. We were going out to lunch, but she had a really bad fall on the weekend and has asked me to go to her place this morning. She and her husband are Italians and it is always fun going there as they both talk to me at the same time with different conversations hahahaha. So hard to keep up. But they are wonderful friends and it is always good to see them. Hugs.

Belated birthday Aussie, how awful of me to miss it. I have had a week of not knowing what day it was and what was happening, sleeping 20hrs a day and feeling terrible. Coming up for air now and again these last couple of days. Very pleased that you have had a lovely birthday and hope that it will go on for a long time. God bless you with all the blessings He has in store for you in this year.

Dear Barbaranne, thank you so much for your birthday wishes and God's blessings. So sorry to hear you have not been well and I pray that you will be granted peace and good health. Is it as a result of the ulcer on your leg, or other reasons. Hard to know why people have to suffer in such a way, but God has His plan for you and his reasons for going through all this. He will sustain you. God bless you heaps. Hugs.

Happy Birthday, Aussie. We were away for a while and missed this post. I'm now playing catch up on the puzzles. I'm glad you were pampered for your birthday. You deserve it. Hope you have more days like this without having to wait for another birthday to get them.

Thanks Pixi, God has blessed me with some beautiful and supportive friends, and I appreciate each one of them. Hugs.

That's what I thought until I rerad the description. Turns out they're lima beans but they are more pea-colored in this puzzle.

Hi Malko, got your lovely note and I do appreciate you and your friendship. Thank you for your prayers. Hugs-a-lot.

Thank you CSAMY - between 15 and 17 hours ahead here depending on where you live, which I am assuming is the USA/Canada. I appreciate your kind thoughts. Hugs.

I did too Jingles, my worst time ever lol. Hugs - too much birthday fun, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it - and I don't drink, so that was not the cause. Hugs.
