ownership.......

Well, this is easy enough to check online. There are 68 Simpsons that
are registered property owners on the Sampson county deed search
engine. What is your husband's name?

Remember this: Forgiveness can reach a point where you become a sap. A
serious bible-head friend says even Jesus spoke to this issue. Don't be a
sap.

i wouldn't call myself a sap. but it also calls for forgiveness 70x7. when
the issue is pushed, cut them loose and just let them go on their merry
way. it doesn't mean that you still have to socialize with that person...

I don't believe in karma - "What goes around comes around", like it's
because of some great force in the universe. People make sure something
"comes around". Just me, but I think your relatives should have some help
with this in some way that turns their stomachs for the rest of their lives,
assuming they're involved.

Hummus
From Saad Fayed,

Hummus is one of the more popular Middle Eastern dips. Served with fresh
or toasted pita, hummus makes for a great snack or appetizer. Tahini is
an important part of the hummus recipe and cannot be substituted.
However, it can be omitted.

More Hummus Recipes
INGREDIENTS:
€ 1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
€ 1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
€ 3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
€ 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
€ 2 cloves garlic, crushed
€ 1/2 teaspoon salt
€ 2 tablespoons olive oil
PREPARATION:
Drain chickpeas and set aside liquid from can. Combine remaining
ingredients in blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup of liquid from
chickpeas. Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and
smooth.


Place in serving bowl, and create a shallow well in the center of the
hummus.

Add a small amount (1-2 tablespoons) of olive oil in the well. Garnish
with parsley (optional).

Serve immediately with fresh, warm or toasted pita bread, or cover and
refrigerate.
Variations
For a spicier hummus, add a sliced red chile or a dash of cayenne pepper.
Storing Hummus
Hummus can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be kept in the
freezer for up to one month. Add a little olive oil if it appears to be
too dry.


putting this one on file to try in the future too. I generally prefer my
dips & salads fresh and not refrigerated. will try this one fresh with
the toasted pita chips. if like, might use tortilla chips with the
spicier version. bet that's good together. why is it that the tahini
can't be substituted with something else, but it can be omitted?


Tanin't hummus less 'en its' got tahini. Might be good but it ain't
hummus. Tahini is made from sesame seeds. Not much else tastes like
sesame. The seeds have medicinal properties which include aphrodisiac,
demulcent, diuretic, emmenagogue, emollient, galactogogue, laxative,
rejuvenative, tonic.

See more at http://www.holistic-online.com/Herba...Herbs/h194.htm

I've been making what is basically the same recipe for years. Only
difference is I put 1/4 cup tahini in the hummos versus 1.5 tablespoons.
The recipe I use comes from a cookbook I bought in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,
written by a Swiss woman married to an Egyptian military officer who has
been living in Saudi for years. Good cookbook too. And Billy is right,
it ain't hummos without the tahini.

Hey George,
When were you in Jeddah? My folks were in Abqaiq from 1978 to 1987
(roughly). I went over in 79 for 6 weeks....

Cheryl

We were in Yanbu from December 1980 to January 1986. Jeddah was our
shopping spot of choice as it was only 150 miles away and Dhahran was
800 miles. We went to Jeddah in air conditioned Mercedes buses and to
Dhahran on air condition Boeing 737's. I had a number of friends working
in the Eastern Province but we preferred the Western Province. Went
there when it was just sand and rocks and when we came home there was a
modern city of 50K people and a number of plants. Diving in the Red Sea
was great. Wouldn't go back on a bet though.

If her relatives were scorned all over town forever, that wouldn't be a bad

loves it, and I mean everyone, except to two slimeballs who are the

I got to go to Jeddah once and the Red Sea. I was 19 - young enough to think
it an adventure, old enough to know when to be discrete. Great experience.

If you are somehow lucky enough to discover that your relatives are (for
example) involved in a real estate investment that will benefit from dicking
around with other people's land, and they're using public financial
resources to forward their venture, there's nothing wrong with exposing
this, perhaps in the newspaper. It's not illegal, but it is most certainly
obnoxious, and it's far more common than you may think.

At the end of all of this, it matters little what you *have*. What
will matter is what you can *prove*. The amount of rent you paid means
squat if you can't prove it was applied toward the purchase of the
land, and there is no ownership if you don't have the deed in your
name. And though the millionaire founding father may be the nicest man
in town, it's always wise to do a survey and title search. Don't take
anybody's word for things, no matter what the local lore is.

sheesh, i guess i need to explain even more than i do, huh? lol
what i meant by "we hold the deed", is that the land is in my husband's

what i meant by "the lawyer took care of it" is that his (the man who

Okay, okay. I get ya. But come on, can you blame me? You came across as
a bit evasive before, you know, as though the conveyance fairies or some
other ethereal force was behind it while you sat back and enjoyed your

defense against this land takeover. Don't waste a minute. Get yourself a
GOOD attorney and give him/her all of the facts, good and bad.

while, if that does happen, I'm sure folks will hear about it.
Personally, I would be more embarrassed that it had happened to me by my
family. However, i mainly think that they just aren't helping me with it
instead of them being behind it. And while I know that it may be the
other way around, if so i will deal with it then....however my main
concern is keeping the water source...

i got ya! nah, i don't blame ya, i know it can be kinda hard to

(he was recommended by my circuit court judge friend.) turned over
