Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Celandine]

Get thee to a Starbucks. They have pumpkin scones at this time of year.

And actually I think that strange flavors is how we've americanized scones. From what I understand, a 'proper' scone is plain with jam and cream on top. Or maybe with some raisins or cranberries (this is what the scones an Irish grandfather from my dance school made us had in them). Am I right, or am I crazy?

Oh and a ditto on the happy b-day to Teryl!

bah...Starbucks is a waste of good money. I like to go to the Beanery instead. Very hip cool place where they have awesome tea and coffee, live bands on the weekends, a tv room, reading room and net access too!

I can live without a pumpkin scone for now. Too much pumpkin 'this and that' everywhere anyways. By Thanksgiving I'll be hating anything pumpkin. *nods*

I had to share a cute Stargate related story with someone so here goes:

My mom, who lives in South Africa, started watching Stargate 2 years ago when I left home and moved to the UK. She said it was her way of bonding with me even though I'm gone. Currently the channel that airs stargate is somewhere in season six and she updates me every week about her "date" with Richard Dean Anderson and she really enjoys the show. She knows I post here on Gateworld (although she calls it blogging - she classes everything done online as "to blog") and she thinks its great that I can meet and make friends with so many people online. Anyway, tonight she sent me a text because very recently another of her cable channels is running Stargate from the very beginning. This is what she said:
"This channel is cool. Gives me an episode of sg1 series one every night. Getting clued up. Be able to blog soon. lol" This from a woman who, when I lived at home, didn't get why I loved the show so much.

awe very cool! Least you two have a connection that you can share now. Seems she went out of her way to find something that you loved so she can be apart of it. That's love.

I know what you mean Sky when I told people I was going to GABIT last year, after explaining what it was, people looked at me like I had two heads and asked "why I'd pay all that money just for that" people really don't get it do they? *shakes head sadly*

Ah well we know why eh

Julia(samcarterrules)

Way I see it, everybody has a fetish.

My dad spends mondo money on violin sheet music, video, lessons, blah, blah, blah
My mom sews...JoAnn Fabrics is her second home I think.
My brothers each have something they love to do..and spend the money for it.

I do Stargate. My fetish wins. j/k

My point is, I like what I like and I know everyone has something they love just as much so no matter what they say I just conveniently switch the conversation around to point this fact out all the time. Kinda leaves them gapped mouthed but touche...I win.

My mum passed many years ago (before MacGyver even), but I know she would have loved Stargate. My familial problem comes from my little big sister (I tower over her). She does not understand fandom, period! The internet scares the beJ**** out of her and when I talk about my on-line friends she "just rolls her eyes at 'that scifi stuff' and goes on on her own." as Sky puts it. I so want her to come to one of our events, just to see what goes on and feel the atmosphere. One day, maybe.

I can't imagine my life without all this. I have 'family' all over the world. When RL gets tough they are all there for me, and I return the favour when they need it. You can't beat it! Those who don't experience it don't know what they are missing.

(((((Samandans)))))

Kay aka Mumsey

Definitely. When I'm feeling low, I know I can be honest with you all about how I'm feeling and you guys just surround me in tons of Samanda love. It's awesome. You all rock!

Happy Birthday tara3583

ooh another Birthday *bounce*

Happy Birthday tara3583!

sam and jack, post s10

And this one too! lol Thanks!

Try this one-I don't know if it's the same story Sky meant, but it's the last one on Rolleson's LJ

http://rolleson.livejournal.com/487713.html#cutid1

ah yes..much better!

[suse]

Scones over here are plain, or have raisins/sultanas in them. The plain ones are more traditional (to be taken with butter, jam and/or cream, depending on preference), the fruit ones are a little bit more moist and I prefer those as I like to eat mine unbuttered and without jam- weird person that I am. A little sprinkle of the warm tasting spices such as cinnamon is an option, but not sure how traditional that is

I've just written a post about scones. Typical

You are weird. (just kidding). I can't imagine not having butter on anything bread-like. I'd put it on cake if it didn't already have icing. *Butter*cream icing.

I like scones unless they are too dry. I can't stand dry bread. No biscotti for me. If I wanted stale bread I'd get the heels out of the cabinet.

suse

[suse]

You're just feeding the stereotype

I perfer the fruit scones too since I also eat them sans butter or anything else. But the pumpkin ones at Starbucks are yummy - they have a bit of frosting on them.

Sam doesn't seem like a scone person, but I think AT might like them... I am just assuming this since her parents are English and she was born there. (see I'm feeding the stereotype now and bringing it back on topic!)

I find the Starbuck pastries to be overly spiced and too sweet. I think I'm a little too picky and can do them better myself. If I have the time.

Yeah, I bet AT likes them. Whether she eats them is another topic we probably shouldn't get in to.

Ah, but when I was smaller getting out the butter and everything was just too much effort- I wanted my scone immediately I got so used to it that I don't mind it now

Hi all

Hope everyone is keeping well.

I need a beta for the Sam/Vala- Women of the Gates ficathon. Story is 3,500 words.

If anyone would like to volunteer, please can they PM me? *smiles sweetly in hopes someone does*.

[Chelle DB]

the cinnamon treat....just take a pie crust. sprinkle - liberally - cinnamon and sugar on it and then bake it.
you end up with a flaky crust covered with cinnamony sweetness

Sweet...no pun intended!! It sounds yummy...so I'm assuming the pastry is a sweet pastry not savory??? Must ask mum (in law) to help me make some...she's a great cook my mum (in law)!!

I LOVE strawberry milk! Can't believe you don't as I've never met a person who hasn't yet...well until now. lol

Well it all started when I was a little tacker...about 8 years old I think...my dad used to work for a bakery and he used to swap bread with the milkman for milk and donuts...so dad comes home with all these different flavoured milk...strawberry, chocolate, malt, egg flip, caramel and banana...so to cut a long story short...I never used to have a problem with milk til this one fateful day when we had fish and chips for dinner...so I'm eating my chippies and drinking my strawberry BigM when all of a sudden I feel really sick and...well lets just say...dinner didn't stay down long and neither did the milk...so ever since then I haven't been able to drink strawberry milk...but I still love my chips...go figure!!

*pokes around in Chelle's head* hehe

Ouch!!! Hey!! I said ribs not head!!!! No wonder my head was throbbing today...sheesh!!!

Get thee to a Starbucks. They have pumpkin scones at this time of year.

The only thing I love from Starbucks is the coffee!!
I love the plain scones with jam and cream on them but I do also love the fruit scones...that is the ones with sultana's in them!! My mum (in law) makes the best scones south of the equator...and the best carrot cake in the universe!!!

at least you're never the target of Morris Dancers and random sword bearing individuals
Of which i DO have photographic evidence

And where is said evidence then??? Feel free to share!!

I had to share a cute Stargate related story with someone so here goes:

That is so cool PengYn!! Yay to your mum!! She sounds really cool!!! That's a really sweet story!!

you're lucky. my mom just rolls her eyes at 'that scifi stuff' and goes on on her own.
I don't even tell people about my conventionng and stuff. they just give you that 'you're spending money to do what???' look, so it's not worth it

I know what you mean Sky when I told people I was going to GABIT last year, after explaining what it was, people looked at me like I had two heads and asked "why I'd pay all that money just for that" people really don't get it do they? *shakes head sadly*
Ah well we know why eh
Julia(samcarterrules)

It's funny you know...I was just discussing this the other day with a fellow SG friend! He has the same problem but then he pointed out that he has a friend who doesn't understand our interest in the conventions and all things scifi, yet he will go to all the football games during the football season and pay big bucks for the footy gear and tickets etc...as a lot of sport buffs do...and that seems acceptable to society to do that...to travel to see their team play...and not just to inter state games but also to international games...so why are we any different???
My big bro doesn't appreciate my interest in here or else where for that matter because quite frankly he doesn't get it...but none of my family do...yet here he is, tomorrow morning he is flying his family interstate to go to the set of a tv show they watch...now that's the pot calling the kettle black!!!
So depending on my frame of mind...I either feel happy to discuss my intentions of traveling overseas to attend an event or I avoid it at all costs...but the sad thing is...I found something that has totally peaked my interest and has made me happy in oh so many ways...and my kids too...it's peaked their interest in science and maths in a way that no teacher has been able to...and I feel I can't share this with those who are supposed to be my friends...so I guess I can honestly say that I totally sympathize with you all because I guess some of us are in the same boat.

I can't imagine my life without all this. I have 'family' all over the world. When RL gets tough they are all there for me, and I return the favour when they need it. You can't beat it! Those who don't experience it don't know what they are missing.

(((((Samandans)))))

Kay aka Mumsey

Yay!! Thank you Kay!!! That was brilliantly said!! I agree with you whole heartedly! But...I can imagine my life without all of you...and believe me when I say this...to put it gently, it just wouldn't be nice...at all!! When I first came here I was just coming out of a very bad spot in my life...this has been a godsend for me...I wish I could convey to all of you how much this has helped me and changed me into the better person I am today. I kinda feel sorry for those who have no concept of how wonderful this fandom is...how wonderful this place is...how wonderful the people in here truly are...I feel so blessed, so lucky to have found it!!! I can't wait for AT4 to meet some of you...I'm really excited about it already and I know...it hasn't even been planned yet...but I'm confident that it will happen!!!!! Yay!!

i can't even imagine what i'd be doing without fandom. and it's not fandom as a whole, it's the friends i've made. it's knowing people and talking to people from all over the world
my sister runs aroudnthe country doing marathons and i'm like 'umm, i do the same you know' just not nearly as often
my younger cousins, however, were duly impressed with my photo with rick and amanda however. they thought it was cool....didn't even show the sisters.

Speaking of sisters...how did the wedding go???

Yeah!! My Dad's up and walking with his walker right now!!!

Yay for your dad!!
Speaking of dad's...I went out to visit my dad today...he's just started radiation on Thursday...2 hits a day for the next 3 weeks then another dose of chemo...I'm taking him for his last 2 doses of chemo as I'll be on holidays then...but he's doing remarkably well...in fact, he had to do this survey thing about how he's handling the chemo and fair dinkum, it was weird...we did it together...it was basically a list of symptoms he should be feeling and he had to state whether he was feeling them and to what degree. So I'm listening to the list of symptoms and I'm actually answering them with him...his answers were all to the negative...that is to say he was feeling absolutely great with no side effects but me...the one without the bloomin cancer...I'm feeling about 85% of the symptoms to varying degrees...nausea, back pain, muscle aches, sore eyes, tiredness, dizziness, loss of appetite...and the list goes on...so I'm thinking...bugger, I've got the symptoms while he gets the treatment and gets better...I can live with that!!! You know how you hear about when a woman is in labour and her sibling miles away feels the pain...it's kinda like that...fair dinkum...we went through that list and mum was stunned...hubby just confirmed it...except I don't agree with the irritability one...I think I've been ok in that area...hubby said he should have married dad...cheeky sod!!
Oh...and yeah...just found out that it's lung cancer and that if this treatment doesn't work, they won't be able to do anything else for him...bit of a surprise there for us but...he'll be right!

Happy Birthday tara3583

Ah, but when I was smaller getting out the butter and everything was just too much effort- I wanted my scone immediately I got so used to it that I don't mind it now

I'm a scone snob, it has to have clotted cream and strawberry jam, oodles of both...even as a youngster heh.
