I honestly don't know what is normal for bananas here (FL). I keep track of other items, but not bananas. You've got me curious now, though.

I didn't notice that in the pictures.
I think she actually looks like ZsaZsa Gabor's husband, the prince. lol. I don't think it is Larry B's baby, for some reason I just don't. And if not, I'd really feel bad for him but he should not be jumping the gun considering how many men she supposedly slept with.
LOL I didn't even notice the site, just the pic!! NM

I didn't notice her clothing, just her
seal clapping.
We usually tip for take out, but on the receipt - sm
not in a jar. I don't do it every time, but 80% of the time. The one place knows us well and treats us well, whether that is the normal service or because we tip who knows. Most of them in there only make min. wage, so a few bucks for them to split amoung them (I hope) I would think would be appreciated.
I hope you have a receipt for the cash - sm
she may be nuts enough to take you to small claims court over the $300 saying you were quoted X dollars and did not pay her husband. Though he might have to be the one to actually bring the lawsuit since he did the work, though she might talk him into it. I also hope you had a written contract as well in place, always pays to cover your butt in these situations. She is obviously desperate for cash (is she not eligible for unemployement?) or having contractor remorse for hiring out her hubby and thinks he short-changed himself and that you took advantage. ----- When I first started reading this I thought it would be, oh I hired a friend's husband, he did a lousy job, we don't want to pay him....that sort of thing. Glad it was not that, seems like you we happy with the work, paid for it as agreed and that was it, then the wife/friend got involved. My DH is not one to haggle or overcharge for anything, gives away his help on big things, and it drives me nuts, so I normally handle that sort of stuff though it is rare for us. We do a lot of bartering on my road, you scratch my back, I will scratch yours sort of thing, from helping start cars to fixing TVs (my DH has saved our one neighbor mucho $ fixing their TV a couple of times). If we cannot repay the favor we either pay in cash or beer, though not so much in beer anymore as the one couple we do this the most, his wife wants cash though the husband is the one doing the work, so to not make waves we usually give him cash depending on what he did for us. He will do car work for me when I cannot get my DH to do it, I pay him for that. But little stuff like moving something we trade favors on. ----I hope she does not become a huge problem for you.
yeah. she checked in and checked out the same day--sm
said it was not for her.
Years ago, when I had a dog, I got her from the pound - sm
at 2-1/2 years of age, and she never even needed ANY training... she was so smart, I swear she already knew English. I could take her absolutely anywhere, too - hiking, driving, horseback-riding in the hills, to art shows downtown, in high-rise building elevators, to the beach, etc.
I can see why some people want papered animals, if they're looking for specific characteristics in a breed. But then, if you're going to bother to spend money for a pedigree, it might as well be a good one from a reputable breeder, where you're less likely to end up with a sick animal, genetic defects, etc. What I really DON'T get is the atrocious prices some people are charging for 'labradoodles', 'puggles', 'chi-weenies', etc. ??? That is SO strange.
I also don't get people who give up a pet just because they're 'moving' or 'having a baby'. What lame excuses to dump an animal they've grown tired of.
My cats are both rescues, too. As much as I dearly love kittens, since I spend so much time working, and it's impossible to properly kitten-proof my cluttered apartment, and especially since adult cats have a harder time getting adopted, that's the best choice for me. I even recently had success adopting a second, older adult cat after I'd had my younger one for almost a year. After a day or two of hissing, they now like each other, and even play a bit. Most importantly, they have company in each other when I'm not home.
Another thing I find apalling is the way dogs & cats are treated in Asia, but that's a whole 'nother story! With their horrible treatment of animals, over-fishing of the ocean, finning of sharks, whaling, killing endangered species for their 'medicines', exporting poisonous pet food, and rampant overpopulation, there doesn't seem to be much good to say about that part of the world these days....
Bet it had a pound of butter too;-)
I actually love the lady. What a hoot. Have to take my break from the ole computer during her show.
And, I do not believe that 200 pound story
She is 5ƌ" and I think she has gained and weighs more than 200 she says she weighs.
All 3 of our cats and our 120-pound dog sleep with us in the bed
I couldn't imagine having it any other way. Our 3 cats and dog our like our kids. In fact, one of my cats is sleeping in my lap right now.
350 degrees - 25 minutes per pound SM
Put a rack in the bottom of the pan so the meat is not touching the liquid. Put about a cup or so of water in the bottom of the pain with some cut up onions and a little salt and pepper. Place the roast on the rack, fat side up. No need to cover the roast if you want a good crusty layer of fat on the meat. This also keeps the meat moist. 
I buy the Walmart roast, I think it's 2.98 a pound. sm
I believe it said round roast on the sticker-the hunks I buy are around 10.00 apiece with absolutely no fat. My husband loves them. I put it in the oven frozen and cooked it all afternoon on low. Threw two small cans of V8 juice, a whole onion, some garlic and pepper. I thickened the juice with flour a little Gravy Master to darken the juice so it wouldn't be red and put in my potatoes, turned the oven up to 350 and everything was done and piping hot for hubby at 4:30. I had 1 slice, he ate the rest. Now, is that fair? LOL.
The "rag man" paid by the pound sm
My mom used to threaten to "sell us" to the rag man and when she was really mad, she would tell us she was "putting us in a 'home'." Yes, there were a lot of "homes" for unwanted kids then and there was also a "poor house." Oh gosh, I feel so old! And kids today think they have it bad when they can't play video games for the day!
Last week, bananas were on sale for 39 cents per pound.

But 275-pound footbal players are taller than 5 feet, therefore not so wide. nm

not sure if they are there on Sunday though.

Sunday dinner
Well, yeah....The boys (23 and 25) come over on Sunday afternoon before they go work to check up on us old folks and eat up our food. They'll come in and help with prep first. We get a lotta laughs in the kitchen.
They've been cooking since about the age of 5 and 7...I didn't have girls and they wanted to be part of the process... sous chefs (cut this, peel that, okay this is how you sautee) ....worked for me and they'll never starve wating for someone else to cook. Cat

Oops! That should be Sunday 2/1/09
.
And if you take notice...
a lot of these posts just prove my point..
If you notice...
The OP is nagging on a few different boards here, trying to stir the pot. Ignore crabby patty.
Well at least he took notice!
I could have changed my hair to purple and my ex wouldn't even have noticed. Maybe that's why he's my ex! LOL.
and did anybody notice
as long as you are up, you might as well go to the bathroom and now you find you essentially have retrained your bladder?
Pet Notice
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door, at pet nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats:
1. The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
2. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
3. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
4. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years-- canine or feline attendance is not required.
5. The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
6. To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'niture.
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, they are an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Did anyone ever notice...
…on the television talk shows whenever a dietician is on they are always skin and bones? I would like to be slimmer but not look anorexic.
Update to Dayton: $1.93 on Sunday BUT
it is 10 cents cheaper if you use your Krogers card, so $1.83!!
My Friday is Sunday, end of the pay period.

oops -- do get epilepsy -- Sunday day off

Sunday walk in the park
DH and I were walking the dogs in a small park yesterday and a reddish bird swooped in front of us. It was the same color as a thrasher, but since he landed on a nearby tree limb I stopped to check. It was a tiny owl. Apparently an Eastern screech owl. They are common yet rarely noticed, so we thought it was really neat. The dogs never reacted to him at all, and the owl seemed as curious about us as we were about him. Our faces were maybe 4 feet from him.
Come to SoFla. Going to the beach on Sunday;
xx
We get to go to Emeril's for dinner Sunday.
Can't wait. I hope he's there himself.
Love sunday afternoons
As soon as I get done typing I will put a roast in the oven, prep the veggies and rolls.
We will eat about 445 - 5pm afterwhich the whole family (dogs too) will go down to the river for a walk. When we return home while the kids are showering I will mix a batch of Splenda ChocoChip to throw in the oven so when everyone is cleaned up we can curl up watch a movie (usually disney) with warm cookies and milk. Everyone is usually snug in bed by 9pm except for me. I log on a work for a few more hours.
My DH is a Browns fan. He cries every Sunday.

Actually going house shopping on Sunday
Buying a new house!
Yah, notice it is a BOY she is breastfeeding...anyone think about that?
LOL
I was so emotional did not notice and SM
made mistakes in mine as well. No problem. I think we got our point across. I wish you and me could team up and wipe some of the needless suffering and abuse out. 
No, but I got a notice saying I don't get a check!
I'd like to tell them what they can do with their "stimulus" package.
It was a full-on Italian Sunday dinner.
We always had Sunday dinner with my entire extended family. (We lived on the same street.) So Sundays were a giant food festival with my mother's, grandmom's, and aunts' kitchens going full blast right after church until all the food was brought to Grandmom's for dinner in the afternoon. The first time I cooked for DH, then-boyfriend, was just my usual Sunday routine. My mom was ill, so I did our share of the dinner, which was chicken parmigiana and probably some other things. I also made bread with my grandmother that morning. My poor husband came from a food-deprived culture. His mother can't cook, and Sunday dinners at his house were usually tuna sandwiches and tomato soup. He shared that information at the table with my family, and there was instant silence. You could have heard a pin drop. Jaws went slack and everyone stared. It's still one of my funniest memories. A second or two later, my older cousins started razzing me for bringing home the poor "Irish kid", and all the women jumped up and started heaping more food on my hubby's plate.
But did you not notice, the neck issue
was resolved because the show had fixed her hair in a more becoming manner than did not expose her neck like when she first came on. I noticed the same thing at first but then here at tne end, not sticking out like a sore thumb.
You know what's sad? A lot of people won't even notice the mistake!
I see that one all the time. And my other pet peeve is 's added to make a noun plural.
Here's one that glared at me when my kids were little and attended a Catholic school. The children were in a big procession walking behind their school banner when I noticed it. The name of the school was Our Lady Help of Christians School.
Yep! The banner was printed as Our Lady Help of Christian's.
Back in the days when nuns were teaching in the schools, someone would have gotten a good whack on the knuckles for that one!
Nah, I wouldn't. I notice those things too but...(sm)
I always just let it go.
I've notice that trend
Girls can't sew even enough to mend, guys don't have a clue about jumping a dead battery or towing a car out of a ditch (heaven forbid changing a tire), and nobody knows how to drive a stick shift any more! Everybody has to call a professional to do the simplest things, it getting pretty creepy! And if its not electronic, nobody wants one, presumably because its soooo difficult to read numbers that a needle is pointing to! I went shopping for a plain old indoor thermometer and could not find a single one that wasn't digital and ran on batteries - even for CAMPING they have digital compasses! - what if your battery died out in the wilderness?
It seems like our focus is on playing with new entertainment gadgets and we totally ignore the need to learn any type of practical skills. I'm 49 and I'm pretty scared that by the time our generation dies off, everyone will be so dependent on gadgets they would be entirely helpless if the power plug got pulled. Its got to be pretty expensive to call a seamstress, or a tow truck, or a carpenter for the simplest things (or simply toss the malfunctioning item), but that's what the following generations will be in for, once the old folks are gone. Nobody is interested in taking care of themselves, its all about what's convenient and easy. Its pretty sad that with our amazing access to internet information, we are learning less and less and consuming more and more, stuffing our landfills with things we are too lazy/incompetent to fix, things that would be a treasure trove of good usable items for our thrifty, well-rounded grandparents!
I do not watch DWTS but did notice
on the previews, etc. I thought Shawn was what I would call stubby, not graceful at all, I thought sorta chunky myself.
Got an eviction notice today.
My paychecks have been so small for the last couple of months. I have not paid my rent for this month and already have a dispossessory notice.
I just moved into this apartment at the end of last month because it was less expensive than the place I lived before.
Sad.
The thread about Sunday school has been removed. See inside.
We have Religion and Politics forums that posters can post on. The Gab board is for general discussion not including MT, Religion, or Politics. Removal of the post has no bearing on the original posters belief system, it is merely our posting guidelines.
We're having a big fall/Halloween party on Sunday. sm
 I need some great ideas to ask guests to bring - Husband and I are providing the main meal but I'm asking some friends and relatives to bring "side" items. The main dish will be chili dogs. I asked friend to bring a few bags of chips. Anything else interesting a few people can bring to accompany? Not everyone is bringing something. We do this every year, have hay rides, and it lasts all day. We play games and give out prizes. It's a blast. A lot of people from our church will be coming. I'm really not the only one hosting it, but the other hosts need to know what to bring...I can't think of anything interesting besides drinks and chips!
I'm making my famous marshmallow witches again this year and another gal is bringing baby cany apples by scooping out a portion of an apple with a melon thingie and dipping those in caramel. I've never heard of them before but she said they were so cute! What do you creative women think??I need to let my other hostesses know today some time. thanks!!
I know people who take off Superbowl Sunday and that's surely more trivial than this. nm

Ever notice that if you do 2000-3000 lines a day...sm
that people don't want to believe you? I transcribe 2800-3000 lines a day in an 8 hour shift, 65 character line. I've been in the business 27 years, type 150 wpm and pretty much keep up with the dictators speed. Some folks try to accuse me of sneaking in lines outside of my shift to make myself look good... but these are people that typically type 60-80 wpm, stop every few minutes to take care of kids, neighbors deliveries, etc. and wonder why they can't meet minimum production standards.
Does anyone else notice a lot more hair shedding right now. It this seasonal or whatever. It seems
be worse when I wash it then when I brush it.
