Let's Chit-Chat!

I do recall that you use a pressure canner, Don. Have you had any experience with the electric canners? I know there has been some controversy around them but they seem to be gaining in popularity. I'm looking at the Presto 12 quart model.

No, I have no experience with the electric ones. Like you, I have heard they are not trustworthy, but I have no idea why not. The technology certainly exists, and it would make canning a lot easier. Maybe they have had failures or explosions. Also, you don't want the pressure to vary with pressure canning. The possibility exists that you could kill your family...or end up with food covering your kitchen walls and ceiling:)

Has anyone heard or kept in touch with Von the past year? I thought maybe a member may have known her real name or email address. I miss her stories about the problems she had with raccoons. 🦝 :LOL: After reading the story about the drunken passed out raccoon in the liquor store, maybe she could try that and then gather them up to relocate them.😁

After the forum collapsed, I tried hard to find her on facebook, and finally found the right one. I messaged her several times, but never got a response from her, so maybe she just was not looking at facebook either.
Ken said he found some archived email addresses, so once he is back home and has the forum up and working with all the categories and such, he may be able to message some of the people he has email addresses for.

Her real name is Yvonne Jones, and I think it was Ohio where she lived. I was amazed at how many people with that name were on Facebook, but hers actually had a photo that I recognized from seeing it on the SOC forum. I hope that some of the lost people will find us again.

Paula here aka Louise or weezer if need be!!! I was so happy to here that Ken will be back here again,, i miss the games , Do you think those Games we played will be back here too? i hope.. And how bout old TOM, think he is still kicking?? LOL
 
Hi, Louise, and welcome to the forum again ! I remember you from before, but do not remember what you went by besides Louise back then. We are doing the first/last name thing like we did before, so if you can let us know what your last name was before, we can update your profile to show the name that we all remember you having.
I am not sure who you mean by “Old Tom”, but if it is Tom Galty (our British friend), he will be registering in the next day or so. I also reminded Steve North, so I am expecting to hear from Steve before long, too.
If and when games are set up, you guys who play them will probably have to start each game brand new, since all of the old games from the first forum are gone.
 
Yvonne, yes i think he's the same older man and he played the Games too , i do not think he bothered to chitchat,,,,
You should know who Shirley is? I hope she returns too.. i miss her!!,,looking forward to coming back when ken gets back home
and Hope to play games with Shirley too,,

The server people got the forum online just as Ken and Michelle were heading out for a visit to family in Maryland, @Steve North , so Ken has been on the road traveling most of the last week, and has been working on adding categories to the forum a little at a time when they are stopped somewhere. At first we just has one big place to chat, but now we do have some categories, and once Ken is back home today, he will have his big computer and can start organizing more sections.

As I understand it, you have to add the games one at a time anyway, so if you have favorite ones, you can start adding them once more sections have been added to the forum.
Welcome back ! I didn’t know if you got the messages I sent you or not, and it is good to see you again, Steve.
 
Thanks Yvonne.. Very very glad to be back to a normal forum run by lovely people..
On one of the other forums I was on, one of the members got my email and sent me an extremely nasty message accusing me of all sort of things and being very antisemitic telling me to (I won't repeat what he said)...
I am sure that will NEVER happen on here......
 
@Beth Gallagher let me know if you only get the little leaflet of instructions and I’ll add the link for 32 page clearly laid out instructions for you
PC can be a bit on the dangerous side until you know what you are doing …bit…. like the old pressure cookers many used years ago

I watched a very interesting YouTube canning beans last night , we rarely eat beans , he was very good explaining the hows and how nots
dangers of pressure canning
