Chicky ChaCha says:Allright Cheeky. I have the feeling you are up to a whole bunch of shenanigans down there in Houston. Are you holed up somewhere with whine and cheese and beads??? Geepers a beading girl’s dream! Very nice pick here Miss Cheeky—perhaps another fave pick we shall see on a POD or fave of the week??? me guess is a yes!
On Dec 01, 2009 at 11:21 pm #
Chicky ChaCha says:LOL—I meant wine of course not the other kind of whining and dining. Alas the senior moment of spelling booboos.
On Dec 01, 2009 at 11:28 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Cheeky, you are just too funny tonight! No whining (or wining) tonight – I have to be at a 7:30 am orientation prior to being allowed on the site for the training class – safety first, dontcha know!
On Dec 01, 2009 at 11:33 pm #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Love it!!! Very yummy looking.
Does anyone else miss real cheddar cheese, not the 2% milk kind, but the real creamy, melt in your mouth taste we used to have before the medicos decided we needed lower cholesterol and healthier living?
Now, there’s your “whine”.
On Dec 01, 2009 at 11:34 pm #
Chicky ChaCha says:Dang a BW just can’t have any fun can she. J/K I totally understand and know you are there on business. I will try and behave and not be a bad influence. Hope you get to have some fun and check out some bead stores while down there as Harriet said ya’ll have fun now, ya’ll hear???
On Dec 01, 2009 at 11:35 pm #

On Dec 01, 2009 at 11:37 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:ChaCha, I don’t think there’s any bead stores in Baytown – I’m in refinery country here! But I’ll have fun with all my oilmen!
On Dec 01, 2009 at 11:39 pm #

Nighty nite, Cheeky!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Wonderful pick, Sue!!! Love the colors and the conversation about cheese!!! Some of Bob’s and my fave TV commercials over the years have been about cheese — hmmmm — what does this say about us? Oh, yeah — we have good taste! LOL Since Bob is from Wisconsin, we have to vote with the WI cheese block — LOL — but we sure do love those “happy cow” commercials! Our fave is the one with Sadie the cow leaving WI to go to CA through all the snow…..ROTFLOL….the cows even talk with WI accents!!!

On Dec 02, 2009 at 9:14 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:We’ll have to ask our Miss Sue about that one, since she grew up in Duluth!!! Now she’s trying to convince everyone that she’s a Southern Belle because she was born in San Antonio! ROTFLOL
On Dec 02, 2009 at 9:37 am #
Sali Jo GemsChica Chick says:Ok…you chicks are making me hungry! Hey when we are up in MinneSOTA we always buy cheese curds….they are fabulous! Never had them before I ventured up North! Hey the Southerners (and I love them) wouldn’t know a cheese curd from a cow _urd……just kiddin!!! All you Southern chickies….
On Dec 02, 2009 at 9:38 am #
Sali Jo GemsChica Chick says:Well I got way off the subject after reading this discussion on cheese….this pick is FABULICIOUS! That is what I wanted to say all along…
On Dec 02, 2009 at 9:40 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Hey, Chica Chick! We had cheese curds up in WI and they WERE great!!! Hard to explain to someone who’s never had them, though. You are cracking me up with your comments!!! Now I’m hearing everything in my brain in a MinneSOTA accent!!! ROTFLOL
On Dec 02, 2009 at 9:40 am #
Chicky ChaCha says:Hey Sandra—-I will make you an official cheesehead you little southern belle you! You know what a cheese curd is by golly.

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:I don’t know…it’s all getting a little “cheesey”, don’t ya think?
Sandra, we westerners definitely know all we need to know about the “cow pies” to which you alluded earlier. We even know you don’t want to step in that! ROTFLOL
On Dec 02, 2009 at 12:28 pm #
Little Round Chick says:I just dropped in on this conversation……As a former Hillbilly I ain’t got no favorites in cheese. All we had was bland American Cheese and extra sharp black something or the other extra sharp cheddar. Actually I am no longer a Hillbilly… I’m a Hill William cause I got me a college education.
BTW, Happy Cows come from California doncha know?
On Dec 02, 2009 at 12:47 pm #

A new idea! Please don’t gag on our squeeky cheese curds—you would have to try it first and I bet you 20% off of a POD that you would like it 
On Dec 02, 2009 at 3:02 pm #
Chicky ChaCha says:Lynn since you are married to a Wisconsinite you could become Chicky CheesenSausage as Bob is from Sheboygan heh heh! Well…..give it a thought for a second or two anyway LOL!
On Dec 02, 2009 at 3:31 pm #
CAS says:Hey Sweet Mary! I’m so glad that you’ve partaken of Cabot Cheese out there in the great midwest! And yes it is the same cheese that you can get at Cabot Creamery (they have sampling tables in the company store … mmmmmm … yummy-yummy …). I took the factory or I should properly say dairy tour a couple of years ago with friends and their children.
Here are some pictures:

Mmmmmmm….getting hungry!
On Dec 02, 2009 at 5:21 pm #
CAS says:Sweet Mare – we buy Cabot Hunter’s Seriously Sharp Chedder in 2 pound blocks, usually 2 or 3 blocks at a time, that’s how “seriously” we love the cheese!
On Dec 02, 2009 at 5:35 pm #

On Dec 02, 2009 at 5:42 pm #
Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Boy am I glad I checked in on this gorgeous pick again. I love it. I have to admit I reread all the posts again ROTFLMAO. Comcast updated our system where I live last night so I got cut off short last night right in the middle of something.

Sali Jo GemsChica Chick says:SO glad Lima Beads gives us a forum to discuss the many serious topics mentioned here…………..
On Dec 02, 2009 at 7:47 pm #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Yes, Sandra, and next we will discuss World Peace. My idea is that if we could just get all the feuding people to sit down and bead together, teach each other, and learn from each other…then maybe they would quit trying to kill each other. If things get dicey, we will just announce a great sale and get them all working together again. I bet we could get LB to help out for a cause so important to everyone, everywhere. Maybe we could get AquaKitty to think about that one.
On Dec 02, 2009 at 8:02 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Maybe we could get the entire world involved in the next Easter Egg Hunt!!! LOL Got all of us to become friends, right?
On Dec 02, 2009 at 8:40 pm #
Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Anybody out there raise cattle? I once helped sort out milk cows in my bell bottom pale aqua dress pants and little white keds tennies shoes. What a joke. I got pretty good at telling which ones needed milked and which didn’t. My friend said the little bull is gonna run in too. Just let him right on by. LOL. A sight to behold.
On Dec 02, 2009 at 9:21 pm #

On Dec 02, 2009 at 9:51 pm #
Anita QoG Funny Chick says:Lordy, I just found this pick, BTW; love it! Ended up reading this………….LOL……. YES, Cha Cha is totally right, der ain’t no better cheese then that there Wisconsin cheese, for sure!! Friday is the day to buy cheese curds, there fresh & squeeky!!! My sister lives in Calif. the cows maybe happy, but, she says the cheese leaves something to be desired, they have’nt figured it out yet!!! Harriet, beads, wine & cheese curds, that’s the way to world peace!!!
On Dec 03, 2009 at 11:02 am #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Just as long as we don’t have lactose intolerant beaders, or nearsighted beaders who try to string the cheese curds.
On Dec 03, 2009 at 11:10 am #
Faithful Chick aka Faith says:ChaCha if your changing your name to Chicky Cheese does that mean you are related to Chucky Cheeze? You should get free game passes and Pizza too. I’ll be your friend. I love cheese and Pizza too.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:OK, I came back to read this all again just because I could use a really good laugh today!!! So happy our Miss Sue found our comments and that Miss WI (Anita) chimed in, too!!! ROTFLMAO
If I hadn’t already put this in my faves because of your pick, Sue, it would be there because of the comments!!! LOL
I am now picturing a set of jewelry made entirely out of cheese curds!!! OMG — My little dog Shelby would eat it right off of me!!! She LOVES cheese!!!
On Dec 03, 2009 at 6:04 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:BTW, has anyone contacted the United Nations about our proposal for bringing about world peace through beading, wine, and cheese/cheese curds? I’m sure they would be happy to be innundated with e-mails from all of us!!!!!
