I personally think green onions have a bit stronger

In Reply to: They're all in the same family. - sm
oniony flavor than a shallot, but still very close. It is very easy to substitute any of the veggies in the onion family for another, except chives. A bit more of a different flavor than the green from green onions. IMO chives are more of an herb than a veggie. Could be totally wrong, would love to hear other opinions as well.

green onions
The patient may be mentally unbalanced. Certainly sounds like it.
my favorite, I think, is the little green round onions .....
that that you see topping soups or like that topping the Taco Bell Nacho Supreme. I think I love them all but those are my favorite.
oooh, I think I like my coffee stronger
You must have posted while I was writing my message. I think its funny the strength in the different coffees. I uses a scoop (equal to 2 TBS) to every cup. I'm now reading your post and mine sounds like I would be drinking mud, but it's not really that strong and we like it.
I should try your idea with cleaning the pot though. We've had our pot for about 2 years and never cleaned it yet. Think it's overdue
I use the Yankee tarts and they are much stronger than the candles.....
I felt as you did about the candles and figured what's the point? The tarts must have a higher oil content in them because it is a HUGE difference. Sometimes it is too strong, lol. I also like that you can reuse them a couple of times, I will even take the hardened wax out of the warmer and store them if I want to change the scent right away. Do try them, you will be pleased.
Oh and you have to try these two - Mandarin/Cranberry and Macintosh/Peach..unbelievablygood smelling!
Come back and let us know what you think.
onions
I'm so confused. Can someone explain the difference to me between green onions, chives, scallions and shallots? This has confused me for years. Thanks for any info.
onions
Potato soup. And I've seen several recipes that refer to chives, etc., that I was becoming more and more confused. Your description is a big help. Thank you so much.
I'm cooking a round roast in onions and V8 juice.sm
It smells so good I want to eat it now! Yum.
sharp cheddar cheese, some minced onions, maybe some sour cream
if you like with the white sauce. Also, I use Velveeta cheese, about half the large brick. Don't forget to put salt in the water while cooking the macaroni too.
Roast up onions & peppers for fajitas. Make roll-ups out of them with soft

I liked the green guy the way he used to be
I don't like him now. I can barely understand him. I really hated that commercial recently as I was shopping for car insurance. I walked into an agency and asked if they could save me money on car insurance (green man popped into my head although it wasn't a Geico agency). They did. I was paying $1500 per 6 months with my old one (again, not Geico) and with the new one I am paying like $700. Boy, I was a happy camper. I called my MIL and said I have got good news, we are going to save over 50% in car insurance. Again, that green man popped into my head.
Green olives here too!
What's really, really good is a cheeseburger with grilled onions, tomato, and green olives on it.
I could eat that every day. :-)
Ha! I got to see a green snake
in my yard once. It was the kind that climbs, and was in an azalea bush. I had no idea we had green snakes here in NC until I saw that one.
Green and red chili!!!
In my opinion there's not much that can't be made better by the addition of green or red chili. I cook pinto beans with lots of green chili and bacon bits with a bunch of spices and they are sooooo good. And the combination of potatoes and red chili to me is just one of the best things ever.
Is the green stem from the strawberry...

Green eyed monster
I posted a while back about a woman who was divorced sat down at a football game with dh. I was at home working. Anyway, dh told me about it and he said he did not ask her she just sat there and they enjoyed the game together. I said okay. Anyway, 6 months later dh asked her if she was willing to lease out that 10 acres of land that she has so he can plant hay. She said he could. He did ask me if I was okay with it. I said I was. Well dh went to pay her first months rent and boy did she ever give him the old sob story about how her ex was. She also tells him that several men, married men, have been out there coming to call. She turned them all down because all she wants to do is raise her kids and ride horses.
The only man I ever really chased was dh and I was pretty cut and dry with that. Most the time I admired men at a distance. I have ran around with some pretty wild girls and they would give their potentials a sob story about how awful life is just to play on sympathy then they would brag about how every man in the world “wanted” them. Is this what this girl is doing? Trying to play on DH sympathy and then telling him she is a catch of the town.
I do know my dh. He is more likely to run off with a tractor then he is with another woman. I can almost 100% guarantee it. There is always a slight possibility I could be wrong but who knows.
Another thing that worries me, is if this gal really is flirting and dh doesn’t want to “join her circus of men coming to call” is she going to run him off the property after he put all that work and money into it.
I don’t know why I worry so much. She probably is just one that likes to talk, it could be innocent.

My husband was an attorney who would come home at night and tell me about how his secretary would flirt and carryon with him. He had little derogatory names for her. She had sad stories for him as well, about raising three young daughters on her own, etc. When I was in the hospital for emergency major surgery she even offered to take care of our home and make him dinner, etc. I wasn't jealous at all, but I did warn my husband to be careful of her and the situation. Long story short ... they had an affair, our marriage was over, and I lost everything. (He's since married and divorced from the secretary.)
Just because your husband shares with you about his time spent with this woman does not mean he is or is not having/or will have a relationship with her. The man I am with now would never dream of spending any amount of time for any reason with a single woman without me along with him ... not because I have asked, but because he believes this is the right way to show respect and love for me.
Jealousy isn't that great, but being smart is. Some men with really good hearts can be kind of naive. Just something to think about. Your DH sounds like a good person.
Went semi-green with car purchase
We traded in my minivan (which was getting about 16 mpg) for a slightly used Yaris. They get 40 mpg and my car payment will drop significantly. They rate very well with Consumer Reports for reliability, etc. My sister has one and only has to fill the tank once every 2 months.
Back when we got the van we had plenty of money and the economy was fine. These days, with work changes and gas prices, it should be a big help to be out from under that expense. Plus I have a nearly new car (5,000 miles). It is silver mica color, the sedan model. The little 2-door hatchbacks are adorable, but you can't find them anywhere for some reason.
My rule if not green and fuzzy it is okay. EXCEPT

Is anybody wearing green today?
 I forgot, but when my kid tried to pinch me (oh brother), we realized I had a green coffee cup and some green lines in my shirt. HA. So, do you care about this green stuff? Frankly I care about the green in my wallet, so I am typing more than thinking about green beer today. LOL. Happy St. Patty's Day! (green face icon)
I could have sworn I saw one for a Green Card
 -- I think this dude needs one!
That's often a great way to get your green thumb on. sm
I did it for a couple of years in Minneapolis (and I lived in the middle of "Concreteville" downtown). A grassroots (no pun intended) organization got a local company to donate (temporarily) their vacant lot next door, just outside of the downtown area, and the organization collected some ridiculously small fee from each gardener (like $15 or something) for the season, and then we each had a small (8' x 10' ?) plot to do with as we wished. It was fenced in, and locked (we had the combination) just to keep our produce from being stolen, and the plot was just a short bike ride away for me.
It's a great way to meet others in the community, as well. I'd be surprised if your city doesn't already have one in place, if not a number of them. I'd suggest calling one of the food co-ops (as I don't know how one would find the plots otherwise unless one stumbled across a notice about them), and they likely will know of such efforts near you.
Ro*Tel -- diced tomatoes & green chilies
Ro-Tel is similar to canned stewed tomatoes. In times past, it was marketed mainly in the southern states, originating in Texas.

I lived with dark green paneling for almost 20 yrs in the
living room then finally took the plunge. It took a coat of primer and 2 coats of the light colored paint I wanted, but it was so worth it. I took before, during and after pictures and the difference it made is unbelievable.
my fave too...along with Fried Green Tomatoes
Green in the wallet is a good thing
I don't like the color green at all so I have no green clothes whatsoever.
why on god's green earth are 8 jumbo crayons
a pack of 8 regular sized crayons is 2 for $1. I can get a pack of TWENTY FOUR crayons for 17 cents. But a pack of 8 large sized is $1.50 a pack at the cheapest. I found them at winn dixie for 2.99 a pack. I need 2 packs. Six dollars for 16 crayons?? That's highway robbery...geez
I'm glad you liked it!! To me there is not much that can't be made better by adding green chi

shread it up, add some green chiles and diced tomatoes
and freeze for burritos or machaca beef later on...uumm good
The yucky green stuff is back today
Along with very painful sinus pressure and throbbing. Guess it is sinuses after all.
I rested all day today and I was going to go out to dinner but just taking a shower tired me out so much I couldn't do anything else. Of course, I hadn't eaten anything all day, but still....tired of this!!
Thanks for listening, y'all. I'll quit whining now. 
I've quadrupled it! Look up Green bean casserole....
and make sure to have a happy, happy Thanksgiving!! Yummmmm my favorite veggie dish you're making....yummm yummmm *laughs*
ENJOY!! 
Not to butt in but what's great about green bean casserole?
I made it once and it went in the garbage. It was horrible. Every year I tell hubby I'm going to try it again (jokingly of course) and he always says "The h--- you will!!!"
So much for that.
I agree! I have my sponge bob green desktop background
today. Also love that green beer! PS: Spongebob is dressed in green on my desktop, so that counts for me. LOL.
Add green chili and some cheese, and I'd have died and gone to heaven! nm

That tator tot-green been casserole runs in our veins here in MN. nm

One-A-Day, green label, with ginseng, from Wal-Mart; if i do without, can tell a huge difference sm
in my energy and work production. takes a few days of taking them once i have skipped some to notice the difference for a day. then once i get going on them, i don't notice a huge energy burst unless i am without them and then i am just drained!!! FYI, don't take on an empty stomach. i usually take right after supper. they are not the huge horse pills either and i only take one a day.
Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!
mine brought me a very alive green garden snake
and deposited it at my feet in the kitchen once.
geico(green thing AND cavemen), Sonic, and generally
anything where they YELL AT ME THE WHOLE FRIGGING TIME....

Grilled rib steak, shrimp scampi, asparagus and green salad...
I'm getting hungry just seeing the steaks marinating, lol!
I'm very blessed...my SO is a gourmet cook. We rarely eat out because what he can prepare at home tastes much better than anything we could get at a restaurant and costs half as much to prepare.
Geez, it's only 1 o'clock...hope the time passes quickly til dinner!!!
tator tots, burger, green beans, cream of mush soup
Brown a pound of ground beef with your favorite seasons.
In baking dish put a layer of tater tots, then take a can of french style green beans (all liquid removed) and layer over top of tots, then burger and top with cream of mushroom soup diluted with milk so its thin enough and creamy. Bake until tator tots cooked.
Dr. Weil recommends red rice yeast supplement, green tea, garlic and fiber. nm

I personally only used it twice, I think.
I HATED sitting in that line. I would rather just save the money myself and go buy it.
I don't know why they are closing it though???
personally,
i believe you might ought to go to the ER. They can help the immediate situation and/or refer you to the proper followup. You poor thing. I certainly sympathize. Some husbands just don't know how to be there when you need them most. There's surely also hotline numbers that could help, but i don't know them -- maybe in your phone book? You could also try a church counselor. But i really think the ER is your best bet, for comprehensive care. God bless you.
I did not mean that you personally were --sm
hiding your head in the sand, but that some people do and really are not aware of what is going on around them. The world is just not the place that it was intended to be or what it used to be 50 years ago, but this is all predestined, if you believe in what the Bible says. Nothing is going to change evil. It is here to stay and strengthen until the end. But I do believe that we have to be vigilent in order to protect ourselves from it.
as far as the media goes, well, I think they tend to over exaggerate other peoples misfortunes just to get ratings, and that is not going to change either, but as far as them giving this guy his 15 minutes of fame..he was already dead, so what does he care? too little too late. It did not make him feel any better now and hopefully he is already toasting his little toes, right where he should be. Just my opinion though and I do appreciate the fact that some people are tired of this stuff and care not to watch it on TV. You shouldn't have to.
Well I personally would not want that either
Was this your daughter's first wedding? And all you did was buy a dress and show up? Wow. My mom was there for all the planning, advice, etc., and she paid for it.
personally, I don't see how anyone has --sm
time to watch this stuff. I have to WORK for a living. I rarely even turn TV on much before eight at night, but for those of you with the time, glad you find them entertaining. Wish I could be in your shoes.
Not personally but my
My sister was visiting in Boston a couple years back and, on a lark, she and a friend went to see a psychic.
The woman was 100% on the spot. She recorded the session for my sister so she could bring it home and it was really interesting. Pegged our mother for being domineering and manipulative. Got the kids right, both my sisters kids and MY kids.. I was nowhere near there.
Told her a bunch of stuff about me too. Said I was the "fixer" and would be a loyal sister and friend for life.
Then she also mentioned our brother and said that he is much like our mother, though he refuses to believe it, and he puts on "airs" to try to make others around him feel like he is everything and they are nothing.
I would LOVE to go see this woman myself! hehe
I personally think
you can place the crystal and china any way you please - it's your home, your style. Decorate the way you like.
I personally think it went very well. sm
This is only the third time I have taught this class. I just fill in when needed. What made it so good was that there was so much discussion. Every person (10 of us)of course had pretty much the same idea about what heaven would be like as in no tears, no pain, etc., but they also had differing opinions about what we might see or discover. Most of us tend to think heaven will be a different experience for everyone. We won't all see the same things. Everyones heaven will be different. It was also very interesting sharing with everyone some of the posts from this site. No atheists in the class but they found some of the ideas of the ones here interesting so that lead to even more discussion. Several people told me after class what a good job I did. Honestly I didn't do much at all. It was just like on this board, I asked a question and it just snowballed from there. Actucally I was worried that I wouldn't have enough to fill up the entire class time but we almost ran out of time. Again thanks to everyone that responded.
I can't say that I personally see it...
in my day-to-day life (thank goodness!) but I do hear about it often from my husband. For example, 2 people he works with are currently having an extramarital affair...this will be the man's 2nd affair at this company. He got the other woman pregnant; they got caught; got fired; he got rehired! My parents and inlaws have been married forever also, as well as my sisters (but my brother is a different story...). I just know that cheating is all too common and it is a very, very painful experience for everyone involved. My DS just broke up with his GF of over 2 years because she cheated...broke my heart for him, but he's rebounding great...thankfully!
