Not saying I care - makes no difference to me
one way or the other. I just have a mild curiosity what others think. This is a forum, isn't it?
Just share with me what difference you think it makes
to share or not share?
Well, was he kidding, did he laugh? Makes a big difference.
Also, is he very attractive, and I don't mean in your eyes, I mean in general. That too makes a big difference. On the other hand, I'm with you; sometimes I wish mine would find someone else to run off with too! lol
also, what time in the day is the wedding? Makes a difference. nm

I was thinking just last night, makes no difference what you post
I thought these folks will fuss with a nun! I have never seen so much yada, yada, yada in my life.
What a difference a year makes! Last year, sm
we had the same problem. Fines everywhere for watering.
snacks
right now it's pistachios. I bought a big bag on impulse (boo!) at Sam's the other day. Bad news. Seriously bad news. I try not to keep snacks around the house. and I NEVER eat at my desk. That just leads to all kinds of bad habits and triggers.
The other snack/meal portion that I'm loving right now is carrot sticks and hummus.
I'm trying really hard to make 2009 my year of change. Not having anything with flour or sugar, or any kind of snack food is part of that.
snacks
I actually lost all faith in the South Beach diet when I heard that the creator takes an anticholesterol drug. He says it's for preventive measures, but if his diet is that good, he shouldn't need to prevent it.
I am following a primarily raw diet. Anything plant based that isn't cooked is fair game. I personally think that the myths about carrots having too much sugar to be healthy is just that - a myth. If it's plant-based from nature and in its natural form then it's good for you. The pistachios are yummy, but not actually that good because they've been roasted. The roasting removes a lot of the basic enzymes that make them good.
I do love raw cashews, though. Haven't had those in a while.
I also haven't had anything that had flour or sugar in it in a week now. It's amazing how much less puffy I am and I've noticed a difference on the scale already.
Different things work for different people, so I say whatever works for you and keeps you happy and healthy is a good thing.
wow. awful sight.

Awesome snacks...(sm)
Crackers topped with cream cheese and pepper jelly.
Any ideas for sweet low-cal snacks?

I keep all my bills in plain sight sm
with the due dates and amounts due right in the corner where the stamps go. Sometimes that is enough motivation. Other times I glance at my son's university bill, that's another motivation. Other times I have no choice but to leave the desk, go bake a a cake and go back to typing later in the day.
I'm glad some of you could see it...What a spectacular sight!..sm
My friends in WV and PA called and it was snowing like all get out....too bad they didn't get to see it.
Back on the South Shore of Long Island, NY my mom, friends and my sisters and their kids got to view it.
Here in KY it was 18 degrees and clear last night....you could see all the constellations. Zeus (dog), Napster (cat) and I went out periodically through all the phases of the eclipse. Took out a fold-up chair, parked it in the front yard and we all howled at the moon.
It was quite splendid.  Cat
protein-filled snacks/foods.....
Cant' stand the sight of Billy Ray! YUCK

I think Carlos does get his sight back, don't remember where I read that.
I prefer Mike and Susan together also, I do not care for Jackson (although I was sorry to hear about his accident).
gel. soda or pop?

Fabric softener makes towels softer, yes, but it also makes them less absorbent. sm
Which is, after all, the function of a towel, absorbency. :-)
drinking soda
I think that drinking soda aggravates that. Cranberry juice and herbals teas calm this sort of thing down for me.
Diet soda isn't the problem
I saw a report on that on TV several weeks ago. Evidently, the thinking is that if you're drinking diet soda you'll feel free to eat more high-caloric foods ?!?! The only thing I've heard that's concrete about diet soda is that it can cause loose bowel movements and the carbonation saps phosphorus, which could be detrimental to bones.
This is probably the lamest of all the scare tactics that the Food Police have come out with yet! I believe there are factions out there who won't be satisfied until everybody is eating nothing but veggies and drinking nothing but water.
The next lamest one I've heard is that air conditioning causes people to be overweight. Why? Because when you're hot you burn more calories!
I stopped listening to "experts" a long time ago!
Try a little bit of baking soda on a washcloth
Just remember that the rubbing may cause a little redness, but i think it will help with the kool-aid. Been there, done that...
Pour 1-2 cans of 7-Up soda over the turkey sm
after it has cooked for about 1-2 hours and baste as well. I usually use more soda and inject it into the turkey with a turkey injecter as well as basting it. Then, I use the drippings with the soda and make it into a gravy. It's sweet and gives the BEST flavor I have ever tasted. My mother-in-law told me years ago to do that and I have been doing it ever since.
Sprinkle with baking soda and then vacuum
Works wonders.

Hayseed,
That's my old outfit, darn it! I don't miss shoveling the snow that was up to my hips and sometimes over my head.

It's really warm in Maine
For the past week, it has been in the 60s and 70s here. We haven't had to start running the heat in our house yet this year, but I'm sure we will be soon! I remember last year around this time it was freezing and we were already burning through heating oil like crazy! I just wish this weather would last...
warm and sunny
An absolutely gorgeous day here in Savannah, GA 
Hot tap water - which is really very warm - sm
If it's too hot for your hands, it's too hot for the yeast.
I used mine when it is warm - sm
I had stopped using it for a while as I just did not have the time, but making the time now and trying to cut costs on the electric bill. I usually have so much laundry it all won't fit out there and I have 3 lines about 28-feet long. I generally put out everything but socks and underwear if I run out of room, otherwise it all goes out. No one can see our line not that it would matter, avg. $150 a month in the winter on the electric bill and over $200 in the summer because of AC, so every little bit helps.
Try scrub ing/mopping with baking soda and vinegar and keeping windows open as much as possible - nm

me too, i get this warm fuzzy feeling,
and just lay my head down on my desk for a few...do some streches..its like...the longest days of my life.
Hmmm, rather than warm weather, could it be
menopause? I don’t have the sweating during the night. As far as the weather, my grown daughter told me one time if she had been born where there was snow (as you are talking about) as soon as she grew up she would get outta there- it is just what you prefer. I have only been snowed in twice in the past say 15 years and that is fine with me. Oh, I do enjoy the soup and salad at Olive Garden- and eat without sweating.
Need some ideas for some warm socks sm
I know, I know, it isn't even winter yet as my husband would say. It's in the 50s outside and my feet are like ice. Right now I have them buried under the heating pad. Can't use a space heater because then my room gets like 110. Any ideas for some nice, warm, nonbinding socks as tight socks make my legs and ankles hurt and just plain drive me nuts.
Thanksgiving Warm Fuzzies!
A while back, I posted about boy named Conner who had a bone marrow transplant for NEMO. After being in the hospital in a different state than his own since August, Conner finally returned to his home and family! While he still has a very long and rocky road ahead, he is at least able to be home for Thanksgiving. If you click on the link, and scroll down, you will see the one of the most heartwarming photos of his homecoming taken by their local newspaper:

BTW, Conner is one of a set of triplets!
If you want to send Conner a hat from your state, check out the Hats for Conner site at:

There you will also find a photo of my dog Addie who absolutely hates the digital camera.
My hands are too warm, for a week or two now (sm)
Thermometer does not show a fever, but every time I touch anyone they say my hands are too hot, and they feel hot to me too, plus I just feel kind of yucky, nonspecific, but just not good. Anyone know if this is a symptom of anything? Menopause?
How about some ideas for a warm supper?
No snow yet, but howling winds and cold with a little bit of drizzle. Need some ideas to warm my little guys up when they get home from school. Not big fans of soup, though. Any other ideas?
warm supper ideas
How about some chicken and dumplings (easy) or homemade chicken pot pie?
I am not warm and fuzzy when I read something
like this. I think the person even questioning has some issues going on here. Who in their right mind gives lifts to strangers these days? Read below about woman giving rides to people on the Appalacian (spelling) trail- the same place where a lady killed - just crazy thinking to me. Why would she ask did she dodge a bullet? I do not think this person really needs to be traveling by herself if she has no more common sense than to ask such. I sat here just shaking my head, not believing what she said. Naïve.
Ok, sounds good, but what about the warm drinks? nm

Normal wear for warm weather is

Leave some open boxes of baking soda inside and maybe search for carbon filters to leave in there,

It means...
I don't care for organized religion. I believe there are some truths in most religions - the Golden Rule, live a life of moderation, try to make the world a better place. I believe there are spiritual aspects to our existence, that we are not just bones and skin and blood, we are something more. As to exactly what that "more" consists of - I read, I study, I learn, I experience....maybe one day I'll figure it out. Or maybe not.
Don't know if this answers your question, but it's the best I can do.
Here's how I see the difference
Happiness is derived from a sense of accomplishment or achievement...it usually involves a skill or talent. It is something you usually work toward. Very much akin to enjoyment.
Pleasure requires no skill or talent. It is usually physical.
