I currently live in Florida but used to live in Michigan and spent some time in Maine too. I miss the change of seasons. Your snow cone idea is worth considering.

I am sure there is now clean snow to be found unless on goes way north these days

But syrup from figs is very yummy....if you ever see it in a speciality store try it.

I grew up in Detroit and later moved to Lansing. Left Michigan in 1985 but still go back up to visit my daughter and grandchildren. I lived in Maine also for 8 years and endured 8 brutal winters with some serious snowfall. Years ago I actually tried that snow idea but used maple syrup instead of the fig syrup. It tasted kinda yucky but might have been better if I just sprinkled sweetern Kool Aid on top.

Not according to Scripture. Read post #28.

Vine tree...

Tree basically means perennial... and a grape vine would definitely be perennial.

So it is both in a generic sense.

I don't really have a clue but it sounded funny at the time. I guess grape men like grapes but I wouldn't really know 'cause I'm now into figs. :)

Oh I thought it might have been American slang. You know like we call red neck, bogans.

Forbidden to the Jew under the Nazarene vow...dried grapes according to numbers 6.

This is scripturally correct. Don't care much for raisins anyway unless they are Raisinets. Seriously, it might be the chocolate. I think that it's milk chocolate but perhaps there is a dark chocolate varaity as well.

Sure, as well in others. The grape is the only fruit forbidden to eat throughout the Bible. Even in the new versions.

it's only forbidden during the days of a temporary, voluntary vow, and only to the person who takes that explicitly temporary, explicitly voluntary vow.

Listen I grew up with grape vines all around...I know what they look like.

I also know how to make wine from them...learned that as a kid too! :)

What is your point?

Only that it is a tree, a vine tree.

Yes, and the juice from the grape is a type of blood in the Bible.

Deuteronomy 32:14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with thefat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

It is both.
It has stems that creep, grows and climb.

Still does not prove it was a forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden if that is your point?

Yes, but proves it is a tree. Grape is a type of blood and blood is forbidden as well. Blood is what’s corrupt. Jesus she’d His blood as a showing of getting rid of sin.

I believe Adam had no blood until he sinned and ate of the fruit. The resurrection body of Jesus had no blood. Our redeemed bodies have no blood. We must put on incorruption. We must put on immortality.

1 Corinthians 15
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
