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

Well, I have escaped the “moral dilemma” with my scruples intact. So far. To recap for those of you who missed the September 22nd episode of Palimpsest, The Diary, I was facing Wednesday with more than a little trepidation. Company meetings were scheduled that would unveil our big marketing plan, and there were believable rumors…
I know a girl online. She’s witty, she’s smart, she’s talented, she’s absolutely full of joie de vivre. She graduated valedictorian from her high school, and was accepted at a prominent ivy league university, where she continues to do brilliantly in a very difficult curriculum. She’s got a high set of personal morals, and does…
I’ve taken hundreds of pictures over the past few weeks in the Preserve. I’ve become absorbed in identifying everything as accurately as possible. I’m glad I’m doing this, as I’ve discovered that I have been a veritable warehouse of half-facts and out-and-out misinformation about some things (especially the smaller wildflowers). I’m discovering that some identifications…
is that the cats haven’t figured out that the time-clock has been pulled out from under them. My alarm went off at 6:00 this morning. What makes this significant is that the alarm woke me up. What makes that significant is that a cat did not wake me up! Of course, once the alarm went…
Cold Hands, Warm Heart Well, that was going to be the name of today’s entry. Two things got in the way of my being able to use such a clever little title. The temperature is supposed to go up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, setting a new local record for this date. And maintenance has apparently…
Survival. I guess that’s what it’s all about. I just have to figure out if I still have a pulse at this point. I got almost no sleep Sunday night. I kept waking up, worrying about how Monday was going to go. I had visions of National Geographic showing up unannounced on my doorstep Monday…

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…
