~~~***~~~ I love pickles! Dill and sweet and sour, You're sure to find me munching one At any given hour! Some are made with garlic, Some are made without, They all are great to snack on, Of that I have no doubt! Straight from a barrel, Or simply from a jar, Pickles make a tasty treat No matter where you are! They're quite low in calories, They haven't any fat, So grab a BICK'S pickle When you're hungry for a snack! ~~~***~~~ |

Linda, sweetie, I can almost taste that pickle. In fact, I do believe I'm getting a craving for one. See you later........... Ethel |

Mike ~ Bick's has my poem hanging in their offices. It certainly would have been more lucrative if they had used it in their advertizing! Linda |

Scorpio ~ This particular pickle puss is plum out of pickles. Since you're heading for your fridge, could you grab a pickle for me! Hey, we could have a pickle party! EA |

 (giggles in delight) I don't know if you watch cartoons but I love watching this one called Johnny Bravo, which is about a mischievious grown man with an Elvis-accent who always gets in trouble but wins with his super-ego and he always loves saying "I like pickles!" (giggles in delight) This is cute, sweet firend, I love them gherkins especially, mmm mmm mmm, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah ~ Johnny Bravo sounds like a very funny cartoon and since the main character sounds like Elvis, I'm sold!--I love a man with a southern accent! P.S. I love gherkins too!---especially with an egg salad sandwich! Linda |

Toe ~ Exactly what did you mean by "toeragged"?! Your reply is far too sophisticated for this naive little angel to understand! tehe EA |

The title dragged me in and I was not disappointed. Although sweet gerkins are the only kind I'll eat, you certainly made them all seem tempting. Pickles are not something I'd grab for as a snack. Now, if you'd like to talk chocolate .... Hugs, Marti |

Linda, I LOVED my pickle break. In fact, after I read this again, I decide to go get a couple more. I love the little whole "zesty petite dills" and the "zesty petite bread and butter" ones....a sweet pickle with a zesty bit of dill!!! HeeHee!! Mr. Toe, I love those fried dills. Have ya'll ever tried just plain ole fried cucumbers? You fix them like fried squash. VERY GOOD. Love to All, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-23-2002 03:54 PM).] |

Donna ~ Every time I eat one, I think of my beloved grandmother who passed away a few years ago. She loved them and served them EVERY day for lunch. No matter what the main menu was, there were the gherkins! Gawd I miss her! I feel so nostalgic when I'm in the presence of an almighty gherkin! tehe Linda |

Not that anyone cares but when pickling I throw all the cucumbers into the washing machine and fill with cold water and wash on gentle cycle - NO LIE! Cute, very cute. Send it to Bicks - for a buck? |

Mysteria ~ What an innovative and clever idea of putting the cucumbers in the dishwasher. That would really get them clean-- and with little effort! I've made my own sauerkraut and pickled eggs, but have never made pickles. If I ever do, I'll try out your idea. Thanks for the tip. EA |
