I wish we had a forum to post on but this will have to do. I will post this on the appropriate sights.

My turn:

Equalizer is not me. He is a para-legal for my lawyer. He has been on this site gathering all your tasty little words to MR Mountainmama etc, etc, etc. When you picked me to decide I was MR. You picked the wrong person.You do not want me or my husband and family as your enemy.

I asked you to stop, but you continued. He has every thread. EVERY THREAD. There will be a civil and possibly a military action taken against you.

So keep on being nasty bullies and writing what you can and stealing pictures. The more we have the better

yum and five forks


Very nice. I want to try it as an alternative to boring salads. Thanks for the idea!
