Oh, dear.

Did she reach in her pocket and silence it? The old ladies don't know how to silence their phones. I have shown a few afterwards.

Until after the service was over

when he very kindly assured her the same thing had happened to him - while he was conducting a funeral

Love the cell-phone-in-church stories!

Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight after a very restless night in Lima - 'night!

It wasn't possible as it was in her pants pocket and she was wearing the AM robes whicxh don not allow access to your pants pockets

They just acted as if they couldn't hear it

Laura · « **Reply #187 on:** July 01, 2012, 07:48:48 PM »

Oy. We had one ring during a funeral once. The lady answered and conducted a conversation.

Perhaps I need to put a reminder in the bulletin from now on.

We've had them go off before, but this was during communion. Pretty hard to ignore.

So after grocery shopping I brought Mom home and as I was heading home HUGE flash went across the sky and a clap of thunder shook the ground and the rain came down so hard and heavy I could not see the hood of my car through the my windshield.

I pulled over to the side of the road and the wind blew like it was a hurricane.

vixmom · « **Reply #192 on:** July 01, 2012, 08:01:55 PM »

Two minutes later the sun was shining, the air was still and it was as if the storm had never happened except for the enormous puddles that were everywhere

Oh, my! I am glad you got home safely. Youse guys are getting our monsoon storms, it seems.

We've had them go off but we have not had people ANSWER them and talk

You Good Cooks must be rubbing off on me

We have had elderly ladies take them out of their purses, look at them, get their walkers, and walk s-l-o-w-l-y out to the lobby, phones still ringing, to answer them.

I do, too. As much as don't care for cellphones, I know they will go off at the least likely of times. And thankfully, forgiveness is a great part of what services are all about, right?

Laura · « **Reply #201 on:** July 01, 2012, 08:07:40 PM »

I have had several different versions of "Experiment" with differing success. What was your recipe?

It reminded me of the kind of storms we would always see in Florida in July

I guess the dead person didn't mind.

We made "Lemon Mistake" once. Forgot the sugar.

vixmom · « **Reply #206 on:** July 01, 2012, 08:19:29 PM »

I cut up a large Vidalia onion into a heavy skillet - sliced about a pound of large white mushrooms, peeled several zucchini and cut them into large chunks, drizzled it with olive oil , squeezed a lemon into it, covered it and put the skillet on the barbeque side burner on low and preheated the grill

meanwhile I had three chicken breasts marinading in fresh lemon juice , garlic, and a little white cooking wine

Once the onions started getting getting nice and soft and brown I turned off the side burner and put the chicken breasts on the grill ( at around 400 degrees) until they were brown on one side, then flipped them till the other side was brown

then I added half a jar of roasted red peppers into the vegetables and some white cooking wine, threw the beasts in there , covered the skillet and turn ed the burner back on and cooked it until the breasts were cooked through and then dropped about a tablespoon of butter on top and turned burner off again - as soon as the butter was melted
I gave it a quick stir and served

I made Rare Key Lime Pie once. Forgot to bake it.

Used a recipe from a post card that mentioned everything except the oven part. I was young and knew nothing. Oh wait, you already figured out that last part.

I didn't make a "starch "to go with it - no potato or rice and since Vixdad and the Vixter don;t eat Pasta or noodles I just dumped the veggie mixture onthe plate with the chicken breast on top

vixmom · « **Reply #209 on:** July 01, 2012, 08:25:54 PM »

It actually was pretty good and both Vixdad (who ate it hot off the grill) and the Vixter ( who got hers warmed up when she got home from work) enjoyed it
