hahaha! I thought I outed myself on the other lurker thread, then I dig a little deeper and find this. Thanks for the intro Rhonny, and hi everyone!
We worked together THIRTEEN years ago! 'Tis true. Fast forward to 2001 and I see this rhonnySLC on the yahoo festivarian board, and figured it had to be the same person. Thanks for introducing me to Run-a-Muck a few years back, my life hasn't been the same since! Truth be told it hasn't been the same since my first festival 7 years ago.
Now about this peanut butter...I know for sure that new life can grow in, say, sour cream. I believe there is currently substantial proof of it in my 'fridge. So why not peanut butter??
I'm glad you finally showed up Anne... we've been waiting, watching and wondering.
It sounds like you take much the same approach with respect to product in the 'fridge. If it is still edible, or shoot in some cases recognizable as food, you feel bad throwing it out with so many starving people in the world. Since I like the resolve to package it up and send it to the starving people, I leave it in my fridge until it's no longer edible. Then I throw it out with nary a feeling of guilt.
As for life in peanut butter... I'm convinced that there is life in my peanut butter... but only the natural stuff. That Jif and Skippy stuff is incapable of supporting life... too many chemicals.
Now, everynight before I go to bed, I go to my fridge, open my peanut butter and sing a lullaby. I think they view me as a very benevolent and considerate Diety. Now if I go home and make a peanut butter sandwich... that view may change.
Welcome Anne! So glad we're getting "back in touch!" Is your other friend attending as well? The blond... I can't remember her name... wait, was it Lynne?
xoxo Rhonny
P.S. Remember John Opasinski? From Private Label? He's now thinking about coming along. Though his idea of "camping" is a 4 star with a walk to the beach rather than a 5 star on the water!
