Broccoli

How do family trees work?

The family tree lists all the people whose initial entry was that users bill. dr has limited the list to users who have entered five or more bills.

Check out some of the top users for some large family trees.

Hope this helps, but what does it have to do with Broccoli?

to get someone on your family tree, that person wouold have to find your bill and enter it. If that person has not previously registered or entered any bills they would show up on your family tree after entering five of their own bills as well as yours..Hope that helps..

Hope this helps, but what does it have to do with Broccoli?

My guess is that … Broccoli in french (my kids refer to) is "arbre" which is french for tree…

or is there a username Broccoli ? and she was addressing Broccoli ?

or.. ate too much ? lol

LOL! Yes, it's because of the tree-broccoli connection! Rock on J-Lynn. And I do eat a lot of it! (broccoli, not trees) My aunt used to tell my cousins they were eating baby trees to get them to eat their veggies, and it stuck.
If there's not a username broccoli, I should have taken it! And thanks to everyone, you've been very helpful!

hehe my boys… when I served broccoli for dinner (not often, 'cuz i HATE it).. I would tell him "mange tes arbres".. or they would ask "je peux tu décoré mon arbre avec du fromage fondu?" hehe

If you ask nicely, I can change your username for you.

<a href=http://www.uga.edu/vegetable/broccoli.html target=_blank>Broccoli</a>? I just had to, couldn't resist (although I prefer <a href=http://www.uga.edu/vegetable/brusselsprouts.html target=_blank>Brussel Sprouts</a>). I thought the different descriptions were memorable:

broc·co·li (brŏk'ĕ-lē) - n.

1. A vegetable (Brassica oleracea var. italica) in the mustard family, closely related to the cauliflower and having dense clusters of numerous green flower buds.
2. The flower clusters of this plant, eaten as a vegetable before the flower buds open.

[Italian, pl. of broccolo, flowering sprout of a turnip diminutive of brocco, shoot, sprout, from Vulgar Latin *brocca, spike.]

You guys are too much! I can do the BS (I'm talking about brussels sprouts here) but broccoli is my fave! What do you guys think? Should I ask nicely and become Broccoli? My mom always said if you eat too much of something you'll start to resemble it. I wonder if this is what she envisioned? chuckle

go for it! that way whoever reads anything you put in the forum can honestly say that they had their daily broccoli

Any of your boyfriends can also say they had their fill of broccili too

lol LC, double meanings.. TSK TSK TSK

OK, I've asked nicely. Nutrition is an issue really close to me heart (as far away as my stomach groan) and this way you'll all get you daily dose of green power! :)

:) Well i like Broccoli so i don't know if seeing you online will be enuff for me.. :)

TA-DA!!! The transformation is complete. I am now a healthy (and delicious!) green vegetable with flower buds :)
Thanks Doc!

LC; If you think you need to write that at the end of a message, you shouldn't write the message at all. Last warning.

Before I was broccoli, I was Lindz. Still healthy and delicious, but no champion of fibre and vitamin C!

well it was meant as a joke,
but some people wouldn't find it funny..
that is why i apologized when i wrote it..

but some people wouldn't find it funny

It's not that some people might not find it funny, I would say some people might find it offensive. Regardless, don't post that kind of thing around here.
