I'm having a hard time too - Charlie Brown's Christmas music has helped some (sm)
It hasn't been very cold around here...parade yesterday we were sweating. One thing that has helped me is I got the music CD from Charlie Brown's Christmas and have been listening to that and watched the little cartoon. That has always been one of my favorites. But I'm just not feeling it much either this year! I think the fact that the stores put the Christmas stuff out right after Halloween and sometimes before just makes it all seem like another day! And for me these days it just seems like a time of year where I have to spend money. Anyway, you're not alone :-)
Dear Charlie
You are our neighbor, and we love you like a brother. However, please remember to take your house keys with you when you go out drinking at night, and try not to lose them while you are out. As much as we love you, it is a pain in the butt to be woken up at 2:30 a.m. when the bars close to open your door for you. I know you apologize profusely and truly appreciate our help, but it is happening a little bit too often lately. Maybe we can get you a necklace with your house key on it that you can wear when you go out at night. We are happy to keep an extra key to your house, but we would prefer not to have to use it so often at 2:30 in the morning.
Love always,
Your next door neighbor/surrogate sister
Ol' Charlie the Tuna was in the fish section.
I used to have a Charlie the Tuna watch when I was a kid, and so when I saw him there I snatched him up!
I still think you're ahead of me, I STILL can't figure out how to get the smileys in my posts!!
Oh, I see now you got it to work! Now you ARE ahead of me!
I would sing
I would sing, sing, sing and have a voice like Christina Augillera or perhaps Barbara Streisand. Unfortunately I can't carry a note in real life ! 
Lady in Red? Did she sing a really
useless song...I can't remember her name either. LOL!
He certainly does sing beautifully, and I
think what he does takes incredible talent. He is truly an entertainer.
I still have to sing the Preamble
LOL. But then I sang my ABCs to myself for years, and that song about the states you sing in elementary school.
Great trip down memory lane.
people pay you to sing? I think people would pay me not to sing
to come to somebody's home, interrupt what they are doing and expect to be paid. I would shut the door in your face.
Sean is cuckoo!! And, no, she cannot sing!
When they first introduced her on the she, she tried to explain all the negativity about her in the tabloids (years ago) and that she was not crazy. They may show last week's show before the new one tonight. On last week's show, Sean got drunk! They were having dinner and everyone was having a glass of wine. Sean had glasses of wine! She was talking crazy and interrupting everyone. When they finished dinner, they sat around a campfire and Sean really showed how crazy she was. Everyone was really shocked at how much she was drinking and the stupid stuff she was saying. When they left the campfire, Sean stayed praying in front of the campfire!?! Back at the house, everyone went to bed and Sean was running up and down the hallway going into everyone's room and waking them up - especially Sebastian! They even showed security trying to keep an eye on her. Irene left the house saying she did not have to put up with that craziness. I'm not sure if she came back but I guess I'll see tonight. It was really weird.
Also, try to catch Outsiders Inn. This is a show with Maureen McCormack (Brady Bunch), Carnie Wilson, and Bobby Brown and they are trying to run a bed and breakfast!! This usually comes on after Gone Country.
Snow angels!...nm

First off -- Angels have wings and could
have flown themselves there. Secondly, if they could affrod a motel, they can afford a taxi. Thirdly, why didn't they ask directions at the motel? Why take the chance of not finding someone who could help them when the concierge desk would have the information readily available, would probably have called the taxi for them, and possibly may have had a shuttle service available to take them.
You definitely did the right thing. I'd be more worried about seeing someone else on the news who did give them a ride and ended up dead, rather than feeling guilty.
marry someone who smoked or couldn't sing sm
He smokes and won't be on American Idol anytime soon but isn't completely awful lol
Angels passed by our home
only 2 months ago and my dad took his heavenly flight.
Only a God-called grandmother could love you as she did. The only way your grandmother could have ever share such love for you was first being loved by God. Paradise is her home!
My dad had COPD and was diagnosed with cancer in November of 2006 and sent home with hospice with 6 months to live. He passed away in less than 2 months.
He asked hospice to please not let him "smother to death." His last 2 weeks were exactly as you described. I had difficulty watching as he was administered morphine and Ativan because I knew the morphine would suppress his respiratory system even more. He was on oxygen but struggled with every breath. He began to conserve all his energy just to breathe. He was alert but spoke very little. He was given only water via sponge and all medications were stopped the week of his passing. My family and I were by his bedside the entire time, and every day he became more weaker. He asked that we pray that the Lord would come soon, and all this time I'm trying to convince my family that we needed to take a more aggressive approach (IV fluids and blood transfusion). Early morning on the day of his death he became unconscious. There was the most precious, sweet comfort and peace felt by everyone in the room at the exact moment my dad drew his last struggling breath and took his heavenly flight.
As 2 months have now passed, I realize the care he received was appropriate, and hospice was loving and caring. I just wasn't ready to "let my dad go."
May you feel God's presence in the sweet memory of your grandmother. Grandmothers are earthly angels from God.
Aw...poor little angels! And you tried so hard...nm

I don't believe they were angels. Sounds strange to me.

Snow angels!...Sledding, skiboarding! Enjoy! nm

Anyone happen to hear Susan Boyle sing Momories. She is just awesome. I
would love to hear her sing Dont Cry for Me Argentina. Her voice is just tremendous.
Hayseed how do you crop your pics? I'd like to add to the collection of animal angels here.
Or can I send you mine and you'll do it for me, pretty please? 
Not weird..old Czech glass perfume bottles, some angels, old

what's a hot brown?
sorry to be so uninformed! I'm betting it's a sausage. Sure does sound good, my mouth is watering! but I think it might give me heartburn too! :)
What are people supposed to call Christmas Eve and Christmas Day now?? (nm)

If you think you have a brown recluse
bite, I would suggest going to the ER as soon as possible. Untreated, the bite could fester and cause neuropathy. The daughter of a friend of mine was bit, waited, and infection took place. She has a very bad adverse reaction - she is now on disability. This has been 2 years ago. Better to be safe.
Encyclopedia Brown
There was always some sort of crime or mystery to solve, and at the back of the book, you would find out how Encyclopedia Brown solved it. Also loved Nancy Drew books and Judy Blume.
Alton Brown's website
Check Alton Brown's website for recipes. I am a pretty good cook and make Christmas cookies for all of our neighbors and friends every year. Cookies or not, if there is something that I just can't seem to pull off I go to Alton Brown. I have not found a recipe of his that hasn't worked for me yet. It took me 15 years to make a pie crust but I was only able to do it well with Alton Brown's recipe.
I know he also has some recipes where you can make 1 dough and then divide it to make 4 different cookies. I think his black-and-white cookie is that way. Also, marshmellows are not difficult to make but they are so impressive and everyone loves them! It's a little messy with all the powdered sugar but the kids LOVE to make them. Its minimal ingredients and its like a science project when it grows in the mixer. You can also get extracts and make mint marshmellows, strawberry, whatever you want. They go great with hot chocolate. Actually I think this year we are only doing those and sugar cookies because everyone loved them so much the last few years. and maybe some fudge, to give me an excuse to make it. lol
Brown/Goldman families at odds now
it has been all over the news- Goldman wants the money, Brown family speaking out saying should not get, I think they consider it blood money. Never would have thunk that 1- huh, seemed so buddy-buddy at 1 time and now on the outs.
Alton Brown's "The Chewy"
I've tried all of the chewy chocolate chip recipes out there, and this is the best by far. The recipe calls for giant cookies, but for Christmas, I make them mini-sized, using about 1 heaping teaspoon of dough per cookie. They bake faster, so watch them carefully. I also add pecans to the recipe. I've made them with bittersweet chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, too, and those were INCREDIBLE.
Be sure, however, to really take your time creaming the butter and sugars. And let the melted butter cool to room temperature before mixing with the sugar. The creamed butter and sugar should be thick and fluffy and smooth, almost but not quite peanut butter consistency. If it's not, the cookies will go flop when they come out of the oven, and they don't look as pretty. They still taste great, but they aren't high and pretty.

Chris Brown charged with 2 felonies
He should get some time for the beating. Once a beater.......
Try Alton Brown's suggestion for the amount of
grounds to use. As he points out, you can always dilute. Here is the article:

There are books also by Sylvia Brown or watch Montel Wednesdays.
My father passed away 5 years ago on 12/25 and I also would like to get some "sign" from him.
Holy smokes, I have thick, long brown hair
$50.00 for cut and color and my hairdresser does a wonderful job.
No recipe, but just mix it 1/2 and 1/2 and put in covered dish or crock pot. Uncover to brown

It's weird, but I'm a brown rice fanatic and weight starting to come off (sm)
I bought a little rice cooker because me and my guy were hungry some nights after working out and we got hooked on rice as kind of a lowfat, low cost, no frills snack. I've gone crazy for it for some reason and eat it sometimes 3 times a day. I guess it's the complex carbs, but it's also seemed to reduce my craving for simple carbs; I'm eating less bread, much less soda, and craving fewer sweet things. I make a batch and keep leftovers in the fridge and reheat if I have a snack attack. I figure, it's better than most of the alternatives (processed, high fat, etc.)
Purulent foul-smelling brown liquid was drained...

I wouldn't trim beforehand either. Just wanted to second the pineapple-brown sugar preparation
toothpicks & maraschino cherries. I place the ham in the center of the pan, do the "diamond" studding with cloves, surround the ham with pineapple slices (have to admit it, I use the ones in heavy syrup),& then off & on sprinkle more brown sugar on top of the ham & pineapples & use a baster to douse the ham with the juices. Hubby had never had a ham prepared that way before let alone with pineapple - now he looks forward to it!! Guess my age and teachings are really showing here :o)
Alton Brown. I like that show, too. He also hosts Iron Chef America.

Home Alone 1, A Christmas Story, Home for the Holidays, Chevy Chase's Christmas, sm
There "The Gift of the Magi," He sells his gold watch to buy her a comb for her hair and she sells her beautiful long hair to buy him a chain for his gold watch. It used to be on "Short Stories by O'Henry" but that's long gone, long ago. Good moral to the story. I can't stand "It's a Wonderful Life" -- too depressing, especially with banks closing, too intimidating right now!!!

Christmas
 We are doing Chistmas a little different this year and I don't know if I like it. We are each taking $300 and buying stuff for ourselves and boxing it up. No one knows what the others bought themselves. Then the rest of us will all pitch in $50 and buy a gift to the others. Kinda confusing if you ask me! But it will be fun! Think it might be even less expensive than usual. Happy weekend~!
christmas
I like to start the first time it turns nice and cold - which in Texas is not usually too early! But my lists are always made and ready to go!
Christmas
I agree it is dumb not to let the employs say merry Christmas or any other greeting they choose. just my two cents.
Christmas
MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!!!!
Christmas
I did mean to capitalize Christmas! Again, Merry, Merry Christmas to everyone!
Christmas
I truly want to wish every single poster a Merry Christmas.
My want list for Christmas:
I want to recognize the Christ in Christmas as well as the fun of holiday celebration and cheer through many venues.
I want to be mindful of every human being that has less than I do, for there are many. I am the most blessed person I know:
I want to be thankful that my family is all with me, intact, in communication (hahaha), not estranged, and loving/enjoying being together.
I want to be grateful that I am gainfully employed and have other options if I so choose.
I want to celebrate that I have my health intact.
I want to live respectfully toward others because I live in a country that provides protection and security for me and others, God bless and save them, are willing to make the sacrifice to provide it for me.
Most of all, I want every person who feels lost, isolated, alone, left out that you are not alone. Just know that He is mindful of you. I know - not believe, but know - that God knows exactly who I am and where I am going and He will take care of me. I want you to know that, too.
Merry Christmas to each one of you and yours ...
Busy MT'ing
This is one sad Christmas.
One relative dying, another quite ill, but hanging in there, and now we have run very low on less scary diagnoses for my dog, and we suspect she has a brain tumor. Vet school is working her up, which I appreciate, and thank goodness I have another dog so the house isn't too quiet. But this rainy weather should quit so I could at least walk my healthy dog and feel a little better, not to mention what it's doing to anybody who needs to make Christmas travel plans, or in our case, probable funeral travel plans.
Sigh.
Sad Christmas
I'm sorry you are feeling sad, I can sympathize. This is the first year in a LONG time I will be alone on Christmas morning, between having my own children with me and then my grandchildren - oops, just got reminded I won't be totally alone - I have a little kitten, and she just jumped on my back! I'm sorry your pet is ill, they can certainly be a great comfort to us - I've only had this kitten two weeks, but already very attached to her. Also, I realize none of us who are believers are ever really alone.
All I want for Christmas is
Some good dictators this morning. Gosh, told them I would give a few hours this morning but why 1 bad dictator after another? Please, just this wish??? Don’t really want that much.
