Give me credit: I smelled the vegemite. Let’s start slow with this, eh?

subtitled: Killing time at the Starbucks immediately adjacent to my favorite Big City Hospital I had an appointment with gastroenterology this morning, and have another coming up with dermatology this afternoon, with four hours to kill in between. It’s too hot to go traipsing around Big Center City, so I locked-in the corner table at…
I don’t do on-line tests anymore, as a rule. They’re fun, but they really aren’t what my diary is supposed to be about. So I have to blame MoonRidden Girl for getting me sucked into this one. I couldn’t put the results into her comments easily, so I’m forced to actually post them in my…
Nothing like another birthday to get a person all maudlin and introspective. Year sixty-one wasn’t too bad. The world only outright tried to kill me once with that heart attack last August, although the broken ankle in March might have been another half-hearted attempt by the fates. Calculating all the near misses in my life…
I have a dental appointment at 5:00 this afternoon (yuck) and was hoping to duck out a tad earlier than I need to for that so I can get some stuff signed at the doctor’s office. I’ve needed to get release forms signed there for three weeks now, but I can’t find the time to…
I’m still playing catch-up at work. A truism: One never truly gets vacation. One simply gets the opportunity to put off a week’s worth of work so that they can do two weeks’ worth of work the next week. While I was away, the morning glory vines executed a successful junta, and have now completely…

Dear Salamander,
Thank you for your kind comment in my diary. I really appreciate it. Murphy is not just a dog, he is very, very special to me. I am grateful that you and so many others here understand just how much a part of our lives our animal companions become.
I love your kangaroo. So in Australia they have joeys in stockings instead of pouches? That’s almost as interesting as having Easter Bilbies instead of bunnies. I also love wallabies and other marsupials, birds, non-marsupial mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects.
Just not the deadly dozen. I like pythons but I will not handle any snake with poison.
Thanks again & Love,
E.L.
how cute!
…..but have you tried the vegemite??

Ya, know, vegemite isn’t too horrific if spread with peanut butter on toast. I just don’t suggest doing that before 11 a.m.
LMAO!!
You my friend are scared too?? Its not a smelling salt, its food!!
OK, this is what you do……
Toast some bread (lightly only)
Add some butter to toast
Then use a scrapping of the vegemite to cover the toast, open your mouth, eat and say "yum yum" as you rub your tummy. !!
Listen…this is basic food that babies start on whenever they start sucking toast.This is the core, the life blood of aussies !!
You cannot let me down on this!! LOL
Aussies will kill for a jar or tube of vegemite if overseas!!
Bon Appetite !!!

I think Vegemite is ok, but the Kid LOVES it! I think he’d eat it every day if I kept it on hand. I’ve got no idea why he loves it as much as he does.

How does vegemite relate to marmite? I see Marmite in the gravy aisle in the grocery store.
Never been brave (or drunk?) enough to buy a whole jar just for a taste test, though.
BLECH to vegemite.
Re your comment, I wondered the same. I am assuming that being the paramedic I did not get all in infomation that the doctors passed. However, I’ve been around long enough now to wonder…
