The "push" in the produce industry for the past few years has been seedless watermelons. You have to really look for the regular ones (which to me are sweeter) and farmer's markets might be the place to start Good luck! Oh, and don't buy pre-cut ones. Too many chances for contamination.
I feel for you Nadine - my husband had to have a tooth extracted last week and he is really in fear of dentists. So he too knows how you feel. I will pray that it will be an OK experience for you. My dentist I marvellous - a big man but oh so gentle. Hugs.

Well, I got it done today and it went better than I feared it would. I'm still sore and swollen but that is all slowly going away.

Send prayers to you Knadine - I hate dentists too - I recall sitting in the chair and the hygientist kept hitting a nerve. It made me jolt out of the chair and in severe pain. She replied stop doing that! Geez!

Hi carolsapple, not sure if you check the dates on the messages, but the original message was posted May 20, 2014, so in four years I would hope Knadine has it all sorted out and no more pain. Hugs.

Lovely watermelon, bit like a mango, need to sit in the bath to eat it, they are both so juicy.

It certainly is too short to waste. Take care and God bless. Hugs.
Two men were visiting Italy and one said to the other, "You know, Italians talk with their hands."
"That's an old wive's tale, " the other replied.
After a long discussion man 31 offered to prove it. He saw a man walking along with a watermelon under each arm and called him over.
"Sior, we are visitors to your land and wish to know if Italians must use their hands to talk.
The Italian handed a watermelon to one man and then to the other. He threw up his hands and said, "How should I know? "

Aussie, when my son was a toddler, he really liked watermelon. When he ate it, he asked to "go shirt-footed"
(His lingo for going without a shirt). I had to stop letting him have it as he was allergic to it and everyplace it dripped on his chest and tummy got big red raised welts!
its 2:37 PM i'm off to bed
