Alice - how is your cat today?

How about "See Alice" instead of Cialis. nm

My heart goes out to Alice and Carlyd and sm
anyone else who has lost a loved fur baby or has an ill fur baby. I have cats and dogs myself and this is so disturbing. I would imagine Menu Foods can't keep up with the calls. You might also complain to the store where you bought it. If you decide to sue or join in the class action suits that are being filed, they usually name all involved from the producer of the product all the way down the chain to the store where you bought it. I keep seeing articles where they say 16 confirmed deaths, where it is much, much higher than that. Truly sad. I'm so sorry for everyone.

Happy to share. If you've ever had Hummingbird Cake, I have been told that this is a lot like that, without the spice (I think the spice would make it more like Carrot Cake, but not sure).
Pineapple Nut Cake
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. drained crushed pineapple
1 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla 'til sugar is dissolved. Add flour, baking soda, and pineapple. Add nuts and pour into greased/floured 13 X 9 pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 8-oz package cream cheese (softened)
1 stick butter (softened)
1-1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Hope you try it and like it! This is another thing that I could live on for days.
They have been looking for Linda at my
house for the last 7 years. The funny thing, though, she is still using MY phone number for more current bills.
LOVE your pic Linda:-) no msg
To Linda: Please see message.
I try to look at it realistically. Cystic fibrosis is a pretty serious disease, one that usually attacks babies and young children. That's the tragedy. I'm 56 years old and didn't find out until I was 53. That's something I never heard of. The majority of my life has been good and healthy. One of my docs told me that first my pancreas will destroy itself, and then I'll become diabetic, (which is why I was so interested in what the poster down a little bit where she questioned about whether I might have diabetes. Once my pancreas is "gone," then my lungs will take over, and that's what will kill me. I haven't been coughing very much in the last 3 years, but now, for about 2 weeks, I can't stop coughing.
I feel ashamed to even be griping about this, considering those poor babies and young children who get this disease and die early.
Thank you very much for the compliment, but she isn't going to change. I'm waiting for this voucher program to go into effect (I've been accepted) so I can move out. I don't have a car, and I don't even have a phone. I have to depend on her to give me messages, and it's a 50%/50% chance whether I'll get those. I figure that I lost my apartment in PA, and as I got sicker, I lost my car and then my phone. So I'm trying like heck to get a phone. There's one that I like on Cricket; I've been watching it for a few months now, and the price sometimes goes down to $9.99. Unfortunately, this isn't one of those times! Maybe a couple of soup cans and a string??
I honestly don't know why my son-in-law stays with my daughter. She treats everyone badly. She even cheated on him a couple of years ago, so he is often guarded in his relationship with her.
My parents were very dysfunctional. My father especially was physically and verbally abusive. I remember taking my mom to the doctor's office to be scheduled for surgery because she had colon cancer.
When we got back to my parents' house, my father was lying on the couch, mean as usual, and told her, "You fat b***h, there's nothing wrong with you. You just want some attention." I looked at my mom, who didn't say a word -- just silent tears streaming down her face. Then I reamed him a new one.
A week later, she was dead.
My daughter knows nothing about my diseases because she's not interested in doing any research about it. If I come home from the doctor's and try to tell her what happened, she simply isn't interested in hearing it.
One one of my more serious hospitalizations (11 days), I had pneumonia and pancreatitis, she was especially nasty. She knew if I wasn't home working, I wasn't earning anything. So she called me and asked about when I would be paying the rent because if I don't, they'll get evicted, and it will all be my fault. Then she called later in the day, SCREAMING about my 15-year-old cat spraying all over the basement and making it stink and ordered me to get rid of it that day. I had no choice but to call the Humane Society, where I know nobody would adopt a 15-year-old cat. No doubt in my mind: That cat is dead. The best part is that the "stinking up the place" wasn't even my cat because it continued after she had me get rid of it. It was one of HER cats.
She reminds me of how my father treated my mother, and I need to get out of here ASAP because she's made it clear that I'm a burden and she wants me out. I try not to be a burden. I purchase and cook my own food (I'm not allowed to eat with the family, but I prefer it the way it is.)
Oh, sheesh! I've written a novel here and didn't mean to.
Thank you again, Linda, for th e kind words. I really appreciate them.
Sorry to hear of your loss, Linda. nm

Linda....nn wasn't watching - don't waste your time
Linda Chavez has great articles and makes a lot of sense.
This is long but I think worth it.
As if a housing crisis, rising energy costs and a soft labor market weren't enough to cause economic anxiety for the average American, now consumers are feeling the pinch of rapidly escalating food costs. The United States has long prided itself in being the breadbasket of the world, and Americans have traditionally paid a smaller share of their income on food than citizens of other developed countries. But the days of cheap milk, bread, beef and poultry may well be over — and Uncle Sam is partly to blame.
In 2007, the cost of a gallon of milk increased 26 percent; eggs went up 40 percent; and a loaf of white bread went from $1.05 to $1.28 from 2006 to 2008. Steep increases in the price of oil have contributed to these higher costs, but the federal government has played a pernicious role as well. By mandating that oil companies increase the amount of ethanol they blend with gasoline, the government has not only artificially increased the cost of corn, which is what most U.S. ethanol is made of, but has driven up the cost of other grains as well. Inflated corn prices encourage farmers to divert more acreage to corn, which means they plant less soy and wheat, which, in turn, drives the prices of those commodities up as well. The aggregate price of wheat, corn, soy oil and soy meal in the U.S. will be $61.7 billion higher in the 2007/2008 crop year than it was in 2005/2006.
Corn prices affect a host of other food prices as well. If you've ever looked at the ingredient labels on everything from bologna to canned tomato soup, you'll see that corn syrup is a common ingredient of many processed foods. Corn is also a common grain used in feed for cattle, poultry and hogs. As a result, prices for meat and poultry are going up, but even with higher prices, some companies in the meat industry still can't make a profit, and many are being forced to cut jobs and close plants. I've seen this firsthand as a member of the board of directors of Pilgrim's Pride, the nation's largest chicken producer, where we have already had to shut down one plant and close six distribution centers to cope with record losses directly attributable to soaring feed costs.
But what is most galling about the impact of government mandated ethanol production is that it does little or nothing to solve our energy problems.
Ethanol proponents argue that it is cleaner than petroleum — which improves air quality — and that it and other alternative fuels will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Both claims are dubious.
Corn-based ethanol is inefficient as a fuel for automobiles, reducing vehicle gas mileage by 20-30 percent in vehicles using E85, the highest ethanol content fuel. Fewer miles-per-gallon of gas essentially eliminates any savings achieved, even by mixing ethanol with gasoline in the lower 9 percent ethanol blends required in all U.S. gasoline today. And of course, it also takes energy to produce ethanol — for farming and distilling the corn and transporting the final product to the pump — and much of that energy will come from carbon-based fuels.
None of these arguments has stopped the aggressive ethanol lobby from getting its way with Congress, however, and pressure increases in presidential election years as Iowa farmers encourage candidates to pledge allegiance to ethanol during the Iowa caucuses.
If ethanol really were the miracle fuel its proponents claim, you'd think there would be huge profits in producing it in the free market. But that's not the case. Consumers not only pay for ethanol at the pump, they're paying taxes as well to subsidize ethanol production in the U.S. — and they're paying a hidden tax to keep cheaper, foreign sugar cane ethanol from competing with the domestic corn-based product. Subsidies to gasoline blenders amount to about 51 cents per gallon, and the government imposes a 54-cent tariff on foreign ethanol so that it can't provide a cheaper alternative for U.S. consumers.
And matters will only get worse as government mandates higher bio-fuel content in U.S. gasoline from the current 9 percent to 15 percent by 2015. Ethanol won't solve the energy crisis, but it may well lead to a food crisis in the U.S. and elsewhere. The U.S. Agency for International Development reports that the cost of providing wheat, corn, cereal and other foodstuffs to poor nations has gone up 41 percent since October 2007, which will mean we can provide less assistance to starving people around the world. Federal policy is literally diverting food from the table to the gas tank — and it's time we stopped it.

DH played the lottery, Pick 4, hit it
straight. What got me was he only played 50 cents, but he still won 2500. I would've played at least a dollar!! What was funny was that he had a job number and a work number that were the same number. He said that never happened in 30 years of working. Told him he had to play those four numbers for a week. Three days later, my "cheap" husband hit! I still tease him about it! and still kicking myself that I didn't play it too!! You just never know :)
I'm afraid you're being played...
Please put a stop to this now and don't let him take advantage of your kindness any longer. I agree with the other posters, seen this many, many times on those judge shows...good luck to you.
I'm 58, and the first time I played it, my brain
instructions fully.)
The 2nd time I played, it was harder! More numbers! But I managed to get a brain age of 37.
FUN GAME!
Ashley is married to the guy that played Christian on (sm)
Y&R. His real name is Christian something or other.
We played that game at T'giving and I was thinking
x
That game is SO addictive!! I played so long when (sm)
we first got it that my hand hurt and I had to 'readjust' to typing!!
Everyone who comes over and plays ends up buying one, no matter the age, gender, or even predisposition to hating video games.
Fun, fun, fun, but I had to stop cold turkey. TOO distracting :-)
Maggie May is my most played shoot-me-now song. nm

The one who played Rhoda Morgenstern's mother from MaryTylerMoore?

After I got engarged, I played my wedding date on a lottery
and won over $400.00 and then bought a few scratch offs with the winnings and won another $50.00! I also won $500+ at a slot machine with my last 20.00 cash as I was leaving a casino after staying the weekend :) However, this was all over ten years ago and I haven't won anything since :( I AM DUE!
Watched a movie, played Wii, and had lots of food

Not MT related -- anyone know the name of the song played on the Zales commercial (piano)? I'm l
a festival piece. TIA
I missed the show but yesterday on her show
a couple of brothers came in and gave money to the family. Sorry I don't have more info, but like you, I do love the show. The brothers tried to give some of the credit to Oprah but she wouldn't take it. She really wanted the brothers to get all the credit.
Played Prey on Xbox 360 and watched Resident Evil Apocalypse
yay!!!
SIL family, us and another family snacked,played
x
Played Apples to Apples
with the kids and their friends, had a few drinks around the fire pit and tried to stay awake until midnight. Not a big fan of New Year's. It was much more fun when I was young and wild, liked to party and did not mind being hungover for the whole next day.
The show 24. Anybody know
when or if the show is coming back on Fox? What happened to it? 
TV Show 24
Do any of you keep up with this show? Have any of you watched it from the beginning? I'm just getting into it and wondered if it would be worth buying the previous seasons' dvds. "Jack Bauer fan"
I think you would like the show
Planet Earth on discovery channel. It's got beautiful photography and filming of animals all over the world. A recent one showed a fox snatching a baby snow geese from it's nest, and you feel awful but then it shows the fox bringing the food to babies of it's own and realize it needs food too! It's all a perfectly laid out plan and we humans are the ones who really mess up the balance on this planet. 
Anyone who can tell me what that show was about
I did not see and therefore cannot comment.
I like that show too.
nm
Has she been on the show
yet? I don't remember anybody named Maureen. I heard something, but it's a big time SPOILER so I don't want to say it, but I just can't think of who she is
It does not show W. VA. nm
:
the show is
The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. Hopes this makes it on board.
Just show the cat the box
Just take her and put her in the box. She will naturally know what to do and should start using it again. If not, I would call a vet.
Best show on TV
nm
Just the best show ever!
Funny, weird with some great eye candy.
There is a show that comes on TLC
that is filmed at the Brookhaven Clinic for morbidly obese people. They mentioned on that show that some of the residents had to be taken to the zoo for imaging because they were too heavy/large for regular equipment.
No, this is a different show s/m
True life, where unless I missed it (only saw the last 15 minutes), no religion is involved.
She will get her own show on TLC. Everyone will
xx
Yes, to me, he WAS the show. That
episode tears me up every time I see it. It was never the same after he left.
Just goes to show ya ....
I watched it and then the interview on GMA and that was priceless. What a truly joyful, humble and talented lady. I could have just smacked Simon - actually all the judges and most of the crowd for their initial reactions. Guess she showed them all looks are not everything and I am so happy this lady is getting all this acclaim. She is just priceless.
There is a show that comes on BET
on Sunday and it is called "Sunday Best." Anyone on that show beats what they have on Idol this year. I have basically stopped watching. No matter if Susan looks like poop, the people are sure taken with her. Adam will go the way of Taylor Hicks and Fantasia, one shot.
Probably not but maybe they'd contact them to be on the show! ; )

I didn't see the show
 if it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me just a little more about "The Secret"
