I guess it's been done, but where is the fun in sowing wild rice?

Silky babe, no no no sweet cakes, I sow wild oats, now thats for fun. but I like wild rice, as wild rice gives us the excitement of variety and the unexpected while never conforming to the way rice should be according to men.

;D AH HA!!! So there IS no fun in sowing wild rice? Only in eating it? Tell me then, is the rice REALLY wild? People go out hunting it down as in the morel mushrooms? Does the rice somehow hide itself in the woodlands and ditches, much like the infamous ditch weed? Wild oats, on the other hand, are they tame oats gone bad? Or do they grow alongside the wild rice bunch? And is there really such a thing as wild oats? And if either oats or rice are wild, is it possible to tame them? I'm rather confused at this point, to say the least......

I'm rather confused at this point, to say the least...... If I understand wild oats is a weed, that grows quite well, without being 'sowed'. Just ask a few farmers how much money they spend controling the 'weed'. I think the saying of sowing your wild oats came about when farmers saw the weed coming up in the spring, they would let it grow until it reached the stage that would be fatal to the weed when it was cultivated [it would be killed vs. ''transplanted'' It is definitely a hard weed to kill. You could also ''google'' for wild oats, wild rice, too.

The indians of northern Minnesota used to paddle around in their canoes and harvest the wild lake rice.

Reading through some of the posts I've come to believe that "Mr Tindrucvionging Unplugged" is the same person as "mrtindrucvionging !" This is despite apparent denials by both names. Can anyone enlighten me ? Also, someone suggested this character was actually Lloyd S but I'm not sure I go along with this ? Just to clarify............I am the ONLY "Mr. Tindrucvionging" ever ever ever. There was never any other than myself;;:: and the unplugged Mr. T is nothing but an imposter seeking to stir up TURMOIL and strife on this board life. And seeking to annnnnoooy the REAL Mr. T. who is a very respectable and upstanding professing man in the 'Truth'. Not to be confused with the FAKEY T, who doesn't even know what "losing out" and all those other terms mean...I mean, hey if you are the real professing and posessing Mr. T,., you would know all these terms by heart, mind, and soul, and there would be no trying to imitate the real T. Now, I know someone who does like to immitate me and hey, it's a REAL sincere compliment, (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN), but,,,,but but but but but,,,;;;how do you know for sure whether that compliment came from God? And if it didn't originate from God and glory given rightly back to God , then how can you know for sure that it was meant to be a compliment only and not just something to flatter that ego of any kind of T-bird.?

Rice is symbolic of fertility, hence the tossing of it at newly weds. Fertility rituals go back to very ancient times. In some traditions men and women would go out into the newly planted field of crops, and there they would copulate. This would ensure a good harvest in the fall, and a baby by winter. I long for the days of old.

I long for the days of old. Throwing rice at newly weds is no longer accepted socially as it is bad for the birds. They eat the rice, become bloated, and die. Thus, a tradition of tossing bird-seed was established, YET still has all the symbolism of planting future SEED. Just......food for birds/thought/ / / // //

I was always taught the meaning of rice was: R - rest I - ice C - compression E - elevation But I'll agree -- nothing like a good dose of Ibuprofen to help you say "aahhhhh .... that feels better" !!

Hmmm. Well, I like your acronym, also, however, not sure I agree with COMPRESSION. []Unless it's a cold compress.[] Too much compression can cause compartment syndrome..... You gotta have Ibuprofen in that mix there somewhere to effectively alleviate the severe inflammation and release of prostaglandins, that can occur with sprains, strains, torn things. So get off your feet, get it up , and put some ice on it. Take 3-4 Ibup. with food and lots of water. The sooner you do all of that, the better, and good luck with heeling. Hope you feel better soon!

Yea, that will work but personally I've found that a couple of aleve, bag of frozen peas and a hydrocodone or two will get you back in no time. Now there's a aahhhh.....

Frozen peas, yes, good way to go about it. Aleve or[-naproxen sodium-], another good antiinflammatory; be careful with the hydorcodone, though, as it is very addictive. .. ...
