House. Milk chocolate or Dark chocolate?

Chocolate cake with chocolate icing!
My mother didn't like chocolate (is that unAmerican or what?) so it was always a real treat for me on my birthday when she made a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. 
Tylenol PM!
I am glad to hear someone talking about this. I am 49 and have had this problem for the last year or so. It's very annoying.

Tylenol PM is over the counter and supposedly nonaddictive. I take it 2 or 3 nights a week, and I am able to sleep through the night. I only take it when I have been working until 9:00 or 10:00 PM and know I will be too keyed up to sleep. Sometimes you just know you will have trouble staying asleep!

Anyone else have this problem - I cannot fall asleep if hubby has the air conditioner going. I need absolute quiet to fall asleep. Maybe it's the wearing earphones 10 hours a day!
Wow, a couple of people need to take a couple of happy pills!

Tylenol PM is TY with benadryl. That is that sm
melatonin is something completely different. It raises the serotonin level, the sleep level. Too much of it knocks me out. Nightmares, hangover the next day.
new tylenol commercials
skinny wrinkled old people exercising naked? Ewwwwww! I hate it!!!!!!
It's Tylenol you DON'T want to give a dog
And it's aspirin you DON'T want to give a cat.
I can't sleep either. Take Tylenol PM nightly. SM
Exercise does help. When I exercised 45 minutes a day, slept like a baby, but I have felt too much stress to exercise! LOL!
Take the Tylenol 2nite instead of waiting until the

Also, tomorrow try some tomatoe juice - seriously it works!  The acid from the juice helps the ole' belly/nausea problem!! 


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  


You're not supposed to take Tylenol
if you consume alcohol. Don't take it if you consume alcohol regularly, and don't take it if you drink a lot of alcohol in one night.
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is dangerous, not aspirin

Patti is right - aspirin can safely be given to dogs.  It's Tylenol (acetaminophen) that is dangerous to give to dogs, and I believe also to cats. (Anyone with doubts, please call the nearest veterinarian, but I know several vets have told me so, I've had probably 20 dogs in my life,  and though I love cats, I'm allergic to them )  The animal livers can't handle Tylenol like human livers (and it's also very dangerous to our livers in overdoses)   Chocolate is also bad for dogs, by the way. 


They usually advise Motrin and Tylenol for pain. sm
I see a lot of this in ER work, and they are never really concerned.  Only the pt is concerned and in pain.  Take some otc pain meds and it should go away soon.
Chocolate cream pie, whipped cream & chocolate shavings on it!
PLUS:

Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.

Pumpkin pie with a 2:1 ratio of whipped cream to pie.

A root beer float.

Chocolate chip cookies, or else soft, iced molasses ones - warm from the oven, of course!

And for dessert, a few chocolate Easter bunnies and a dark chocolate Hershey bar with almonds.
Two Tylenol (not aspirin or Advil or Aleve) with anything citrus..
And the "navel" in the fuzzy navel doesn't count!!!

Be safe and happy 2008!!
Super sad
I took three kittens home from the vet to give them extra TLC as they started going downhill.  One died a week or so after coming home.   The second one died a week or two after that.  Tonight the remaining kitten went from playing to unresponsive in about 30 minutes.  We just rushed her back to the vet but I think she's going to die as well.  She's getting fluid right in her bone now and a little glucose.  The vet thinks they all had failure to thrive syndrome as none of them have gotten over a pound and I syringe fed them every couple hours besides what they ate on their own.  I'm trying to keep up hope for the last one that we've started calling "Little One." 
What I do a lot and is super easy
Is just take a bag of frozen vegetables, usually whatever I have. Broccoli/caul/carrots, broc/caul... or those new steam in the bag veggies. I just cook up some kind of whole wheat pasta, whatever I have, and then throw it together with the veggies. Sometimes I add some kind of pasta sauce or even just sprinkle with parmesan. If it's one of those packages of veggies that's already seasoned, that's really good too. I don't feel like pasta, I'll use rice instead. Quick and easy and you don't feel deprived because of all those veggies.
SUPER BOWL
GabbyChic,

I suggest you actually watch this game. Been a Steeler fan 30+ years, eventhough, I moved to Texas in 88. I promise you, this won't be boring.
I spoke with the super last night
to arrange this meeting today. I pointed out to him that the policies have a list (long list I might add) of things they consider as weapons but they don't list pepper spray.

I get the feeling that he is going to go with me on this and chalk it up to an unfortunate event.

Sadly, if things go the opposite direction, there is no alternative school. This is a very small town. We would have to pack up and move away in order to put her in another school.

Homeschooling is not an option.

Will followup after the meeting.
We have had them super bad for years and were told
we heard about this stuff called Tempo and we found it at our local feed/farm supply store. A small bottle around $45, but we have used last year and again this year. The trick is to get them before they come in, which is usually after the first frost. With the crazy fall we have had, hot, cold and hot again, today was 70 in WV, I think we sprayed too soon, but there are some, but not the
thousands we have had in the past. I also heard dish detergent also worked, like Ajax or whatever, we tried this last year, but also did the Tempo, so I am sure it was the Tempo.
Actu7ally A&H Super Scoop is what I use, tho' cat
It doesn't seem to be the texture so much, as I've found even softer ones (the softest being Feline Pine Scoopable), but she wants no part of it. Prefers plastic or linoleum. Have removed all litter and just used:
a) Empty litter box
b) Newspapers or paper towels -
but the problem there is it's only good for one use, then the box has to be completely washed out. Not very practical, sanitary, or good-smelling.
Colts are Super Bowl Champs sm

Woohoo!  GO COLTS!



 


absolutely. its a disease, and a super prevalent one also.

3 yo granddaughter got super-glue in hair,
at her other grandma's house.  Is there any way you know of to get this out and same from cutting her beautiful hair off ?? thanks.
Having our annual Super Bowl party
Just a few close friends. We're having pizza and chicken wings and my the neighbors bring over various dishes. One usually brings over a great hot chicken wig dip and my husband will make chilli in the crockpot. My friend and I just like to watch the commercials. LOL. After we eat and see the halftime show, the kids and women go across the street for our own party.
Super easy homemade pizza
Very yummy and under $10 Serves 3-4
1 lb ground hamburger or 1 bag of pepperoni
1 box jiffy pizza crust mix
1 bag shredded pizza cheese
1 jar pizza sauce

Brown hamburger, drain; set aside. Make crust mix as per directions. Put into pizza pan - bake 3 minutes. Layer sauce, a little cheese, meat, then more cheese. Bake on 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. You won't believe how delicious this is!
English Toffee--super easy
You can put down any kind of nuts you want--if you want in a raised-sided cookie sheet.

Cook 1# of butter and 1# of brown sugar plus a little vanilla to hardball stage (I put a little in a cup of cold water and if it is crunchy, it is done).

Quickly pour into cookie sheet because it is easy to burn. Scatter one bag of chocolate chips on top and wait to melt a little before speading across the top.

Everyone loves it and it is pretty easy to make. Once it cools, you break it into pieces.
Tell Us ABout Yer Super Bowl Plans this Year.
what are you doing? Making? Will ya be on your own or having peeps over?

Having our annual Super Bowl Party
We have one every year. We're having about 15 friends over. Pizza, wings, assorted munchies and whatever dishes our friends decide to bring. It's a lot of fun even though I just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, and the halftime show.
5yo Daughter cut her hair super short...
She cut it so short on the front and on the sides around her ears.... How she got scissors I have no clue, because I am in my office and she didn't get them form ME!!!  URGH I am so mad!!!  She had absolutely the prettiest long brown hair!  I don't know what to do!  I can't take her to the hair place because I have NO money!!!  I spent my last few dollars on groceries until next paycheck... LOL.  Anyone know a good hair site? I tried to Google some.
They are such super family pets, and beautiful as well! Thanks for sharing. NM

How about a super glue/duct tape combo?
I can't tell what material the broken part is though.
Love his book "The Stand" - but that was a super flu - sm
that killed you quick. From what I have read most people live through the swine flu, no deaths in the U.S. as yet I believe. Probably like any flu, the very young, and very old have the most to worry about, and those immuno-compromised of course.
In some places there are now open MRI scanners for the claustrophobic & super obese.

Great board and a super idea! How about fall decoration ideas?


Anything chocolate!!!

Chocolate!

Cadbury's milk chocolate 



my chocolate lab
My lab is VERY STRONG - but luckily very loving and good natured. . We constantly are in the training process. He is about a year old now and loves everybody . but I get what you're saying and I think all dogs do have the potential to be aggressive if not trained/treated properly.
Hot chocolate mix
My sister-in-law's church made hot chocolate to give  to their homebound friends at church.  They used powdered hot chocolate mix but added creamer and milk chocolate chips to it.  They put it in a Mason jar covered with fabric and tied a ribbon around it.  It was really cute and it really does taste wonderful!!  I don't know if you would want to give that to your boss, but I might make some for neighbors and keep some on hand for unexpected gifts we receive.
chocolate
I would stash them in the cupboard and eat them by the handful when no one was watching....

But if you must drink them I would add a drop of vanilla, cinnamon and some sugar to the melted chocolate thinned with milk.....:)
Chocolate Mousse
I could eat it every day. Yum.

That is Maggie our chocolate lab - she always has - sm
her nose into everything, no crumb is safe in our house!
Coffe and Chocolate
I quit coffee and chocolate by switching to Ginger.  I buy ginger in bulk from gingerpeople.com.  Crystalized ginger, ginger boosts, anything ginger.  I also like Siberian Gingseng (another herb from health food store).  Makes me just as happy and awake as chocolate and it is fat free.
One family had a Chocolate,
Strawberry, and Vanilla as girl names.

 

Years ago heard of a Dorkus.

 

Know two females named Michael.

 

Grew up with a kid (boy) named Kelly Green

Hot Chocolate Recipe
I'm looking for a good hot chocolate recipe using semi-sweet chocolate and regular milk (not cream or half-and-half).  I over bought on the chocolate chips.  I have checked recipes.com and will check a few other sites later.  Just thought in the meantime someone here might have a good recipe to share.  :)  TIA!
Must be a chocolate kind of day...sm
I had a handful of M&Ms and a cup of hot chocolate for lunch.  Unfortunately, I'm still sleepy. 
valentine's chocolate
buy it. melt it. think of some new & interesting ways to, uh, serve it.

I did this once. Went over very well.

I got 5 pounds of chocolate candy

Hubby remembered one night...just 1 night...and can't remember when, that I was so hungry for a piece of chocolate, he gave me 5 pounds of chocolate for Christmas!!!  I love chocolate but not that much!!!! I think he wants me to get fat.


 I ate 2 pieces so far since Christmas. Hmmmmmmmmmm, think I'll go grab a piece now. It seems to be calling me.


EGAD! I just tried hot chocolate with caffeine!

Want to up my line count. Found Swiss Miss hot chocolate with caffeine. I am jumping out of my skin! Had to let you all know if coffee rips your stomach apart this may be an alternative.  But I have not yet experienced the crash if at all from the sugar. But man, I am out of my skin!


I'd better go type now so I can take advantage of the line count. Yikes! This is quite a caffeine chocolate burst...LOL


mystery. Chocolate or vanilla?
