Hummingbird feed
God bless you guys with a green thumb. I CAN grow plants but just don't have the time to get out there and do it. No excuse either, I have no children. Guess I'm just not garden oriented. MIL lived here before so she planted beautiful flowers that are still flourishing, but I end up making my own mix for the hummingbirds. Ours will not touch the red store bought feed.
We use red feeders with the yellow flowers, preferrably with a roosting or resting stem. Ours like to sit a while, while some flutter around. I mix 1 cup sugar with 3 cups water. You can bring this to boil and let cool or you can heat 1 cup in microwave, add sugar and stir to melt and then add 2 cups of icewater (including the cubes). Always 3:1 though. If I alter this they won't eat. I make sure to wash and change feed every 3 days, if it happens to last that long. Mine feed mainly in the early morning and late evening but they will eat throughout the day. They are all over this stuff. The other day one stopped about a foot in front of my husbands face just looking like...where are you going with that? There will be up to 15 at a time fluttering around we have definitely seen more. These are some friendly little birds we have. You can hold the feeders out at arms length and they will come and eat. We have actually filled our mouth with the sugar water before and held a plastic flower and they will come and feed.
Zone 7 blue hummingbird favorite
is this black and blue salvia. It is gorgeous and hummingbirds love it, so it's really great if red doesn't work with your colors but you want hummingbirds. Bumblebees love it too. I have it in part shade between the house and my winter daphne bush. No other support needed, but it's about 30 inches tall its second year in this raised garden facing south.

cake
Pitiful union busters. Wal-Mart offers absolutely no respect to their workers, and obviously no screening that covers use of at least understable exchange of language context and grammar...tsk, tsk.
cake
I hope that the purposeful mistakes in my last post were caught, unlike the cake that the poor lady received.
It is "understandable" and "its" with reference to Wal-Mart.
Thanks for the vent.
I would definitely let them know even if he looked okay. - sm
If you are afraid of confrontation with them, maybe call 911 and let the police handle telling them. This way if they do anything flaky like try to file charges you are covered by telling the police your story. Please give yourself a break, who leaves their dog out all day so that it can sleep in the road? They are lucky he had not been hit before this.
It looked exactly like something from
The Donnie and Marie Show back in the 70s. I still admire her and am glad she made it as far as she did.
Thank you Thank you!!! I have looked
and looked for a previous post I saw over the holidays with this website in it but couldn't find it. Have been so bummed about not being able to get on there. I LOVE this site!!! :)
Carrot cake
If the recipe asked for canned pureeed carrots the canned it should be. I am sure the recipe made allowances for the salt
Wal-mart Cake
Keep in mind this actually really did happen!!!! This is someone who was moving from a claims office.
Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:
Walmart Employee: "Hello 'dis Walmart, how can I help you?"
Customer: " I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week."
Walmart Employee: "What you want on the cake?"
Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you".
Walmart Employee: "Dat all? Okay, Bye."
Cheeseburger cake??
I am having a surprise 40th jimmy buffett theme party for my husband on saturday. Does anyone have any idea how to decorate a cake to make it look like a cheeseburger? what kind of things would i use, i.e, fondant, etc. I have a general idea of yellow/chocolate cake but all I can find online is pictures of a cake but not how to actually construct it.
THanks for your help!
Coffee cake
Has anyone here ever made homemade coffee cake? Would you mind sharing the recipe?
recipe for the cake? nm

Do you have a yellow cake mix?
You could do a pineapple upside down cake. Add about 5 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar to the pineapple. Spread on the bottom of a well-greased baking dish, pour the cake batter over it. You could even go crazy and add a dash of rum to the pineapple before you bake it.
dumb ? but would the dry cake sm
mixture recipe work with canned pumpkin pie mix? Love pumpkin, have cans of one-pie and a can of crushed pineapple w/the cake mix. Sounds like it would be very "mush". Just thought I'd ask!

We want to be looked at as professionals but
and just to say this post might be deleted but at least I have put down what I think. There are so many posts on her where MTs have lost the luster that we once had. I worked out of the home for 30+ years so it is a real privilege for me to have a job now that I don't have to leave home plus put up with traffic, plus put up with supervisors standing close by, plus office games others play and I could go on and on. I see posts on here on a very regular basis about how to tend to kids, how to really have a schedule, fitting time in for the laundry, etc. As long as MTs come across like this, how do you think the work force feels when they hear this? I went into this because I loved medicine and was above par typist and have made a really good living doing this. I have put aside all else while working, inhouse or out. When I have certain hours, unless dire emergency, those are what I work. I do not answer the phone, chit-chat with neighbors, take care of ironing, nothing else. I put my mind on my work and others should do the same. Working at home is a real privilege, not something to be taken advantage of.
Can you name the site you looked at? Thanks!

If I looked in the mirror too much . . .
I would see the devil. Yep, my mom was very religious. I actually didn't believe it. As a curious child I would stare into the mirror because I wanted to see him -never happened.
Just looked at the site sm
and no we just have a regular chainlink fence. We had the fence put up when we moved here 6 years ago for our dogs. Our first cat (11 yrs) was an indoor/outdoor cat before we moved here but was a bit timid so stayed very close to our old house but goes over the fence here all the time.
never heard of it, just looked it up. I will
have to show that to my son. Thanks!
I did not know what I had until I looked at the site
and it has worked for years for me. Having said that, in the process of having tooth implant in upper front, guess my canine tooth, not sure, the 1 next to the big 1 right in front. Very expensive, hope it is worth it. The flipper on bottom, works great!
Thanks...I looked up online and what I did was sm
picked it up in a very soft cloth and just looked to make sure it didn't look injured. There was no blood but I am not sure. I took the blanket and put it as close as I could guess where the nest might be. I will check later to see if it is still there. What I read says that the mom's come back once a night to feed the babies and to try to put them back in the nest if possible and that she will call them all when she comes to the nest, so hopefully we didn't miss that window and the little girl or guy can be snuggling with mom and brothers and sisters soon. I feel so bad for the poor thing :(
Went back and looked at her pic
I still don't see it. Maybe I am wrong and who knows what her life might be like now, but this woman looks hardened and certainly never soft.
so when you were little the world looked like
1941 - What an amazing year to be born.
Lets see what that looked like:

I am going in on Tuesday to get looked at - sm
and no, I do not want any more kids so hoping it is menopause going crazy all of a sudden. DH has been wanting me to get a TL for ages (and of course he won't get a vasectomy, one of those guys) but I was not ready to do that at 38....still at 43 I just don't want to do it, but not because I want more kids just all the horror stories, was thinking about an IUD or Essure (but did not want metal coils in me in case I ever needed a MRI since Essure is permanent) actually but now I might not have to worry about that either. I will get the exam and biopsy and see how it all goes, one step at a time, not going to work myself into a tizzy about it, no point.
Had mine at 29. It was a piece of cake. (sm)
Had the surgery at 7:30 AM. Home by 12 PM. Doing laundry by 12:30. No pain. No complications whatsoever. 43 now and no menstrual comps.
Walmart cake decorator's
idea of verbatim:
Ah heck, she just made you a cake
and didn’t want to tell you any different.
sneakers. Cookies or cake?

cake pecan or apple pie

That McNugget wedding cake
about makes me upchuck every time I see it. I am extremely grateful the political "commercials" are over though. Those were starting to wear on me and give me the same GI reaction. Really, really like the one for Hallmark with the mom trying to teach the little guy to say Merry Christmas for the audio card.
Heath bar coffee cake. YUM.
I bake and take a coffee cake to brunches or friends that is so simple and you can do a recipe search for Heath Bar Coffee Cake. I use the powdered buttermilk in the recipe and works just fine. Not complicated at all and SO good.
I had a tubal/ piece of cake sm
My husband is a big baby. I was working full time at an insurance company. I had my surgery the day after Thanksgiving. I was home by 10 AM feeding the baby (not my husband) in the high chair because my husband had to run to the store for stuff we needed. Not a big deal. Didn't hurt, woke up from anesthesia quickly.
have a really good cake recipe
My mom got it when she did weight watchers, but my whole family absolutely loves it, very easy to make
Angel food cake mix, mandarin oranges
bake, let cool
icing is cool whip, 1/2 cup milk & pkg of banana cream instant pudding (or whatever kind you would like, some of my crew likes the white chocolate pudding in the icing).. if you want the exact recipe let me know.. I could sit & eat the whole thing myself.. lol
the angel food cake
come from Weight Watchers, so it's good for a diet~
Wilton cake classes sm
My daughter and I took them, and it did get kind of pricey buying cake pans, pastry bags, tips, etc. It was fun, and my daughter (age 17) still enjoys decorating cakes, cupcakes, and brownies for friends. I never did master that rose!!
You are so right. I never saw such junk as I looked at in these stores. Well I will be a lot more
careful what I buy and who made it. This was all made overseas. Just junk and not cheap.
I had a couple of ex-bosses that looked sm
exactly like the cave man although, LOL, one in particular was a female. They acted like they were from the cave man days as well.
I have looked casually at the Photoshop
in the store and that is more what I was thinking about. Do you know how it works? Do you actually create your page on the computer with pictures and fancy stuff and then can you print it off? Or what you create-is it simply a digital scrapbook? I like the sound of Creative Memories Memory Manager. How much does something like that cost? Someone had a booth set up at a convention that I went to and it seemed that they were pretty pricey!
I looked up the recipe and here we just call it
fried corn. It is really good and have had it lots in my life, mostly corn just scraped off the cobb with some bacon and butter. (I think her amount of butter is more than most of us use here in the south, she overdoes it with the butter). It might sound excessive but you are using mostly the corn as the base for your dish so not over the top like lots of her dishes are say with all that buttering and flouring she does!!
OMG! Same here, my hubs and I just looked at each other and said "oh no"!
we too thought the cable went out until we saw the credits. Extremely disappointing :(
Wow! Never knew I looked that good!!! LOL
thats hilarious!!!!
Looked on my box of Quaker oats 150 1/2 cup

I was failing miserably and then I looked at the end
and thought how sweet. I just love these animals we are in charge on here on earth.
I saw what looked like a good one called - sm
"Yoga For The Rest of Us". (Found it online). I was actually researching to see if yoga could be helpful for strengthening a bad back, and her exercises seem helpful. A few were posted and I tried them, liked them, and added them to my regular after-running stretching routine.
I've looked into buying them just to have
on-hand just in case, but there are sooooo many different kinds that I didn't even really know what to look for...
The dictionary that I looked in is American...sm
and it said stupider, stupidest when used as an adjective. So I guess it is American way too.
I guess I have always looked at this a little differently.....sm
I was taught and have always believed that a gift is just that....a gift, freely given without the feeling of being obligated to give in return. I was taught how to give freely by seeing my parents give freely and because they wanted to, not because they expected a gift in return.
That is how I have tried to teach my sons, by giving freely to them on their special days without expecting anything from them on days that are special to me. Sometimes I have received gifts, sometimes not, but I know that I always have the most important gift, that of their love, and they know they have my love as well.
