They are 47 and just had their 31st photo taken with the "Meg" cupcake. Meg's mom saved the cupcake with Meg's name on it in a paper lunch bag. The cupcake hardened without rotting or smelling or changing appearances in any way. I am not a scientist so I have no idea about the chemistry or physics behind that. I am a sentimentalist and do understand the power of a pastry that should have withered long ago but is still here to keep the treasured secrets of their friendship.Auntie Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-3146166068263454592010-08-25T18:59:18.461-04:002010-08-25T18:59:18.461-04:00Thanks E.Thanks E.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626884939818771077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-28482004484094183442010-08-25T18:59:02.630-04:002010-08-25T18:59:02.630-04:00Thanks E.Thanks E.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626884939818771077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-20146613139408083522010-08-25T13:47:50.399-04:002010-08-25T13:47:50.399-04:00maybe it will shrink down to a hard cookie, then y...maybe it will shrink down to a hard cookie, then you can dunk it...glittermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879936273130925068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-15459360973020742572010-08-25T11:57:31.286-04:002010-08-25T11:57:31.286-04:00Bill, of course you can comment here anytime you l...Bill, of course you can comment here anytime you like, even when your humble hostess is grouchy and barks at you rudely.<br /><br />Sorry about that ...

They were responsible for maintaining the sacred fire within the Temple of Vesta on the Forum Romanum. Other duties included performing rituals in regards to the Goddess Vesta, and baking the sacred salt cake to be used at numerous ceremonies in the year. They were the only female priests within the roman religious system. The head of the college of Vesta was called the Virgo Vestalis Maxima, and she was under the direct authority of the Pontifex Maximus." <br /><br />Donate it to Case Western Nutrition Sciences for research.<br /><br />RJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-58649614396107655392010-08-23T18:55:00.113-04:002010-08-23T18:55:00.113-04:00So is your short story also going to place over a ...So is your short story also going to place over a span of nine years?Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-85841611902691822402010-08-23T14:30:43.412-04:002010-08-23T14:30:43.412-04:00If you would have invested that $3.29 in the stock...If you would have invested that $3.29 in the stock market in 2001, today you would have eighty-five cents.JEFF9Khttp://rawaem@aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-189057143663270402010-08-23T13:23:31.825-04:002010-08-23T13:23:31.825-04:00TAKE SOME FELS-NAPTHA to that puppy!
