Any stone is nice if you bake. The items I use and LOVE the most are their spatulas. Everything is kinda pricey. They do have things in all price ranges though. I also like their cook books. I have never been to a power party! Have fun.

Kids at grandma's for me too! Pizza, pizza, pizza!
Yay.
Just had an eye-opener --
I just finished transcribing a report on a 3-month-old with a viral meningitis. The mom is being shipped out to Iraq in less than a week. The baby was born several weeks prematurely (with no apparent complications) and now is being admitted with this illness. I'm just aghast that the mom is being deployed after only 3 months. I realize the FMLA only allows for 12 weeks, but this isn't just a mom *going back to work*. She will be leaving her infant to go to another country. Is this standard operating procedure? I thought moms could be honorably discharged or at least given a year at home with a newborn.
I have always been very grateful to our service men and women, whether I agree or disagree with the war in Iraq. I am certainly not questioning this mom's commitment or dedication to her family or her country. I'm just curious if she could request an extended leave or discharge in this instance or not. I don't have any close female family or friends in the military that I could ask, so I was hoping someone here might know.
I'm 50 and coffee was my eye opener. Don't
know what happened, but it doesn't work for me anymore. I sleep anywhere from 6 to 8 hours and that doesn't help. Can't seem to concentrate on work either. LOL - Yikes, I"m a mess
It is a real eye-opener.
I would have never thought to call 911 much less do CPR. Good grief.
If you want a real eye opener about our food
read Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser. I believe that the movie based on this book was recently released as well, but my sister had read the book a couple of years ago, and I recently checked it out of the library and am reading it now . . . just shocking and unbelievable what is going on in the meatpacking companies and, indeed, the country.
Also, if there is anything that can make me appreciate being a work-at-home MT, bad as it may be at times, this book is definitely it!
Stick and stone...seriously! sm
My dad worked with a guy who named his boys stick and stone. Didn't believe him until one day I was working at a shoestore and was fitting some kids for their shoes and mom said, "stick and stone, get over here and sit down!" I about died! I had to run to the back room real quick to hide my laughter.
The first stone, anonymissy.
Get spayed?? For goodness' sake. Your vitriol must leave the constant taste of caca in your mouth. I don't envy you.
This all happened almost 40 years ago. I'd say I've forgiven myself, but I have never thought--& still don't think--I had anything to be forgiven for. I made a difficult decision. Period. I'm just sharing my experience, but I certainly didn't do it so that some board-lurking wack job with her own very serious self-forgiveness issues could flame me.
I always say, when people have such an extreme reaction it's coming out of their own pain. Whatever it is, you should get therapy or something, before it totally takes you over, although from the sound of it, it sounds like it's probably too late for that.
This was my experience, for better or for worse. I think anyone who can give a child up for adoption is absolute saint. Abortion is not easy, but I'll be the first to guess that giving up a child is much, much harder.
But I was not that person then. I was an out-of-control teenager. Speculating on how I would have behaved if I'd known then what I know now is pointless. At the time I knew nothing. The reality of the situation did not really touch me then, other than the fear of disruption of my life. I would imagine a lot of teenagers who get pregnant feel the same way, & one of the reasons I'm saying all this is so that if anyone comes into contact with such a girl, you can have a perspective on what she might be thinking. Or not thinking, as the case may be.
So, anonymissy, to answer your questions, I guess you would call them:
1. You need to tell me what a troll is, so I can tell you if I am one or not.
2. I'm not a liar, I really did have 4 abortions over my entire reproductive life, which is now over. I did not use abortions as birth control, in the sense that I did not plan any of the pregnancies, and for 2 of them I was actually on BC - once with an IUD and once with a diaphragm. The other 2 times I gambled & lost, but that kind of heat-of-passion decision making has been happening since the beginning of time, & to people a lot more mature than I was then.
3.Dysfunctional...hmmm. Well, let's see. Like I said, I'm not a liar. When I read a post by someone who is trying to make an honest statement on a board, who is making herself vulnerable by giving up very personal information in the hopes that someone in a similar situation or worse, & who has not been able to forgive herself, can maybe do that -- when I read such a post I don't pour gasoline on that person & light them on fire. I suppose you could say that all young, hormone-addled teenagers are dysfunctional, so in that sense I suppose you are right. But now? No.
As for you, I would say you really ARE dysfunctional. I think the venom with which you responded to my post says everything anyone needs to know about you. That there is something you need to punish yourself for, regardless of your posts to the contrary, & you that are projecting that punishment onto someone else; burning yourself in effigy, sort of.
Saaay laaaa veeeee, man. It takes all kinds.
p.s. to "first stone"
Would I do it again? Yes, I would. I never wanted children & am glad I don't have them now.
If I had felt or known then what I think and feel now, would I have had a kid and given it up? No, I wouldn't have. Even though I have a huge amount of respect for someone who can do this, it's just not my path.
Would I have gotten "spayed"? No, I wouldn't have. Not at 16, not even at 20. At the time I still thought I might change my mind in my 30s or whenever, but as it turned out, I never did.
tomb stone writings
I'm so sorry about your loss...it takes a "tincture of time" to adjust to it.
This is an inscription that I love: "Beneath this stone does lie, a beauty that will never die".
Hang tough friend, just take it a day at a time.
Stone Care International
I also have corian and this company Stone Care International has stuff specifically for corian. They have a deep cleaner for weekly cleaning and an everyday cleaner.

My husband had a kidney stone
and as the doctor was explaining to me what they found and where it was and what they would do I made a comment that I understand completely and then asked a question. I don't remember the question but it included a medical term and the doctor said to me "oh, do you have medical experience?" and I told him that I was an MT who transcribes acute care. The doctor then laughed and said that by the looks of his reports that come back that he didn't think MTs had any medical experience and were just typing.
Yes, irritated me as well. I dont' know why people think we don't understand what we transcribe. Understanding is a huge part of the job.
Does anyone know where to look for poems or sayings to put on a grave stone? sm
Unfortunately, my brother and I have to go pick one out for our mother and I would like to find a nice poem or saying about mothers to put on it. Anyone with any ideas?
Archaic, stone age dental tools
pantyhose, blue eyeshadow, any kind of sweater or sweatshirt with a holiday theme.
Stone Phillips' sister is a radiologist where I work sm
She looks just like him, too!
My kids have twins in their class named Steel and Stone. sm
Not quite as bad as stick and stone but pretty dang hokey if you ask me.
Is the Turning Stone? If so, LOVE and miss that place. LinK, if I ever sm
get back home (from Rome, NY), let us get together! You sound like a lot of fun! I've been looking at places to stay and visit for a while now - didn't realize Turning Stone had a lodge now? When I lived there (mid-90s) they didn't have it then.
Boy, do I miss upstate NY and snow. Haven't seen snow in YEARS. I'm in GA now. Have fun!!!!!
Ck out the flooring stores/depts. Laminate made to look like all kinds of exotic woods, stone,

So go over and have pizza..what's the big deal?
Not like she asked you to plan it or have it at your place and cook a meal. Maybe I'm not understanding.
How much do you tip the pizza delivery guy?
I usually give them 3 or 4 dollars.
But I got to thinking with the cost of gas, maybe that's not enough? Don't they usually pay for their own gas?
How much do you tip?
California pizza
I always wondered if they were any good... now I can try one
Never had mac and cheese pizza, but
I have my grandmother's recipe that we grew up on of baked mac and cheese. So much better than the box varieties.
If you're talking about Pizza Hut then....sm
the $1.50 fee goes to the restaurant to help pay the base salary for the drivers. I know because I asked the manager when they started this practice a few months ago. I usually give a 20% tip as they always deliver pizzas to my house within 20 minutes and faster than the internet says they'll deliver when I place the order.
does pizza hut begin with the letter D?
nm
Pizza in a home over. Not hot enough. Tasty, but sm
never as good as baked in a real pizza oven.
Pizza Hut - He was a cook and I was a waitress. nm

Here's the pizza guy's point of view
http://tipthepizzaguy.com/
The pizza place we order from
I have assumed that would go to the driver.
I wish I MADE as much as a pizza delivery guy

Pizza is every kids favorite!
I have used the pie irons before but never thought of anything other than the desserts or grilled cheese. Pizza sounds like an easy and healthy lunch for the kids that they will actually eat and can help make. Thanks so much!
Homemade Pizza Dough
Does anybody have a recipe for a good pizza dough recipe that does not take a long time to make?
Also what do you put on your homemade pizza?
Pizza Hut - he was a cook and I was a waitress :)

Uncooked whole tomatoes on pizza
We have that here. I actually love it. It's like a bruchetta.
My ultimate favorite pizza
Is the Pizza Margarita (sp?). It's the one where the crust is brushed with EVOO and then just topped with slices of mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and fresh leaves of basil. I adore it, and would you believe cannot find it in the central California area?
The only regional foods where I live are pretty much raisins and grapes *sigh*
We're more famous for our crime rate than our cuisine, lol!
The pizza I had in Buffalo was supposedly
pepperoni. The whole tomatoes were supposedly the sauce. I love, love, love tomatoes, just not what tastes like whole, uncooked on my pizza.
Never buy frozen pizza from the store
I have never found one that does not taste like eating a piece of cardboard. I have a Johnny's Pizza probably as close as the nearest store and my goodness, what terrific pizza but I also love my pepperoni and green olive stromboli. Yum, yum.
California Pizza Kitchen
makes a very good frozen pizza; for a while I was hooked on the 5-cheese and tomato. You can just see the calories dripping off of it.
pizza delivery tipping question
Hi all: I've recently noticed that a prominent pizza chain that begins with a D has started charging me a 1.50 delivery charge. I normally tip the delivery guy anywhere between 3 and 6 depending on amount of order, weather conditions, etc. I'm wondering who this 1.50 goes to and why are they charging me 1.50. If goes to the delivery guy, great, more power to him.
Also, do you tip higher on Superbowl Sunday? Just curious. TIA
LOL, I like pizza in Italy...thin crust...sm
But there are many NY foods I crave (live in the south now)......actually entire neighborhoods I crave...Chinatown, Little Italy, Germantown, etc.
Turned out to be Domino's pizza - which I ordered
I tell you, it's a tough world!
Will watch, but no party..maybe some pizza and wings...nm

cookies, home made pizza..sm
Go to the www.pamperedchef.com web site and find your stone under products. They will give recipes.
Is the flat stone? Cookies come out beautiful, Frozen french fries or tater tots, make your own pizza using frozen bread dough.. there are more options if you have the stone with the sides.
happy birthday!! chololate and pizza -
my kinda gal!! Can't top that...except maybe giving this profession a kick in the prat and retiring!!
don't work - hoop'n'holler
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!
I once called in a pizza order to be picked up
and the guy on the phone said off-handedly....I don't need to charge you the extra dollar since it is not being delivered. I asked if that dollar went to the delivery person and he sheepishly said no. Really ticked me off.
Our pizza guys get $7.50 an hour plus tips.
I don't feel bad at $2 tips. He's making more than min wage here.
If he wants more money, he needs to get into a better job.
What is your favorite frozen pizza from the store?
What frozen pizza do you like? Alot of times we'll get a pizza on Friday night. Figuring a frozen is cheaper than pick up?
It's really hard not to do a drive through when you're running around on the weekends. Just wondering what others do to help cut down on the cost of eating out.
It's just me and 2 kids, 8 & 9 yr old.
Pizza for us too (delivery) - my cuboards are bare
Been bare all week. Tired of meals consisting of popcorn, potato chips, or buttered rice (nothing else, just buttered rice), and other "non-meal" items.
Glad the weekend is here to do grocery shopping.
You must live in a high pizza delivery paying
area that they get $7-8/hr. Most make minimum, if that, but keep their tips. Oh, add in gas to save you the trip of lugging it home yourself, then yes $2 is insulting.
I am having a South Beach pizza and putting some fat free
cheese on it with a little fried ground beef to make it more tasty. LOL! I live alone and have gotten out of the habit of cooking. However, on Sunday I made my mom and stepfather salmon cakes and scalloped potatoes. It was very good, and my mom ate better than I have seen her eat in some time. Perhaps I should cook more often.
FYI: I don't get the South Beach pizza to lose weight, just because it is a little better for me than regular.
Rewarmed frozen Safeway pizza from last night.
Once they get their pizza and the DVDs going, they'll yak all night & have a blast w/o any games
