In Reply to: Thank you. I need to just go do it. I feel - SDGal
I've only had the "plate" kind (plastic or something, not glass) and it's really not painful at all. They don't actually "smash" the plates down on you, the technician slowly compress the plates after positioning. It's more of a moderate pressure feeling. If you take your hand and slowly compress the breast a little firmly that is about what it feels like. It's really not painful, and I'm the world's biggest chicken!!...)))

My dad told me that I got the chicken pox from playing in the chicken coop. I believed him for years

Thank you! Actually, the fried chicken is chicken strips sm
breaded and fried that I make from scratch. Yes, I buy the 5 pound bag from Sam's club, fry it up and then toss is with my mom's famous teriyaki sauce cut into small, bite sized pieces. With 5 pounds cut up I can make well over 120 pieces. No big deal! Thanks for your suggestions!
That's my biggest

I think that my biggest change is that
I am no longer a people pleaser. If people don't like me as I am, then they don't. I use to do so much stuff to try and make people like me, but not any more.
This is one of my biggest fears! When I saw it on CNN, I thought I was having...
a nightmare! When I was a little kid one of my uncles said something like some of the bridges in Missouri are so old that pieces fall off with every car that drives across. Couple that with my fear of water and drowning, I have been afraid of bridges ever since! To see that awful site on CNN with the bridge collapsing into the Mississippi River with 50 cars on it -- I could feel myself breathing faster and my heart racing!
How horrible for those people on the bridge whose cars went into the water and the school bus with kids just sitting on the piece of broken, hanging bridge. The parents were probably hysterical with fear and worry!
I've been praying for everyone involved since last night.
Who got eliminated on Biggest Loser?
Didn't change clock on my video recorder. Thanks!
Anybody on the NBC Biggest Losers On-line club? How much is it? sm
is it worht the cost? TYIA.
Checking on the biggest news stations
none are carrying that story so I would think they would have a person right at the spot, like they always do.
Biggest Loser voting question
I need to vote, but I can't find where to vote! Shouldn't that be the first thing you see when you go to the website? Anybody have a link? I want Roger to stay because I think Mark has reached the limit of healthy weight loss. If he keeps competing it is not going to be pretty! Plus his body and mind start breaking down because he pushes himself too hard.
Extended warranties are the biggest waste - sm,
of money, and the all time scam of the century. The couple times I was d*u*m*b enough to buy one they never, never paid for themselves. I never buy them now, haven't for years and have never had a problem with any of the products I bought that offered them. Believe me the companies that offer them (just about everyone) are laughing all the way to the bank....they take in way more then they ever have to pay out for repair work/replacments, etc.
I think a clean maker can be the biggest factor sm
I have had a Bunn, Mr. Coffee, GE, etc, and the main thing in how my coffee tastes is how clean the maker itself is. I have learned the hard way that it must be cleaned with vinegar or a coffee maker cleaner once a month or the coffee maker will be slow to brew and not have a good taste. Also making sure to check the manual for how much coffee to use - mine states no more than 3/4 Tbsp per 6-ounce cup of coffee even though the coffee itself says 1 Tbsp per serving.
Right, I posted in my 1st comment that the biggest mistake
a cheated-on person can make is to go out and do the same, tit for tat.
Then one loses everything.
Yes, Diana should not have cheated, this made, as you also stated, her position weaker and Charles' stronger and this was the beginning of the end.
Giving up and bringing him to your bed was your biggest mistake -
You are teaching him that you are going to give in to him if he whines a bit. If you will just consistently hold out and not go to him, he will stop it in a few days. I just went through this with my new pekingese. She took about 2 weeks of crate training before she quit whining. I never gave in to her for whatever reason and even if it was time to take her out, I never got her out until she was completely quiet. Now, all I do is tap the box when it is time to go in and she usually goes in completely on her own and she never cries anymore.
Thanks Kokopoo. I feel more encouraged now. My biggest worry is the
hormonal effects. I certainly feel better with the thought that I might be able to fare well with that with vitamin and natural resources. Thanks for sharing your story.
Who'd Have Thought? "Clean" movies biggest winners.
Here's an article that analyzes the revenues earned by movies without foul language, violence, explicit sex or substance abuse compared with those that include these things. As you can see, depravity loses bigtime. Good on you, American movie-goers! You're rewarding decency and punishing filth-peddlers the best way possible - with your dollars.

Love the show but was very aggravated too. The biggest reason I think Marcel is there is because
he is using "gastronomy" (not sure if that is exactly right), but what it boils down to he is using chemicals to increase the flavor in different ways without it affecting the way the food looks, etc.
Anyone sign up and use The Biggest Loser weight loss plan? I am
rapidly adding on pounds sitting here most of the day, but don't have a gym nearby and cant afford to be on the road for an hour 1-way to get to the closest one. Am sliding down the slope to obesity real quick. Does the information help you? Is it worth the $$? Can this be done without an exercise buddy?
Any replies would help - positive, negative, suggested alternative web-based programs.
Thanks~~
My biggest peeve!! Hind-site is 20-20 - live and learn (sm)
I have been in similar situation is the distant past and not said anything and felt awful later for not saying anything. Now if it involves a child absolutely I will say something. I learned my lesson. I won't let another opportunity like that slip by without voicing my opinion. I figure even if the parent was so bad they ended up hitting me it would be worth it! At least the child hears someone sticking up for him or her (not at the age you saw of coure) and knows that what is happening to them is wrong. I have led small children to their parents in stores, brought them over to their parents in parking lots when they were walking alone, etc. I once found a 3 year old child wandering around my apartment complex (years ago) alone. I asked him to show me where he lived and he did - way, way, way across the complex. His mother would not come out and talk to me but hid in the apartment and just yelled out "okay, thanks." I was in my 20s then - if it was now I would have done more than just take him home - I would speak face to face with them mom and maybe even turn her in. Anyway...got me ranting..sorry...but just learn from this so that next time you know you did the right thing and you won't feel bad. Those children you saw will be talking soon and they will tell mom what is going on. If he doesn't want her to know, it means she will defend them. It is still sad, but it is hard to make a snap decision about what to do if you have never thought something like that through. now you have and next time can be ready to speak up :-)
My biggest time waster/sucker-upper is work related
If I need to research a word or a procedure and I find a link with downloadable free surgical videos...watch out! Fascinating stuff and man, you learn a lot when you watch them and it's accompanied by the surgeon talking the watcher through step by step, because then it really gels in your head.
I do most of my shopping on line though, just because the only stores near me are Walmart and Target, which totally don't buy stuff I need around here. However, sister wouldn't get paid if I did it during work hours, because I spend too much time researching the best deals and always free shipping, so that can take up quite a bit of time.
What about chicken; so much you can do with it.
And if you buy the large packages, it's fairly inexpensive. Also, eggs are inexpensive, quiche or omelets. Grilled cheese with tomato. Baked macaroni and cheese casserole. There is really so much.
Do try Zatarain's meals in a box, very cheap and we love them. You just add the meat or seafood. Here is a website.
http://www.zatarain.com/products/products.php/1/1/Rice_Dinner_Mixes
And their rices are by far the best as side dishes, much better than Rice a Roni or Uncle Ben's I think. Cooks up fluffy, not sticky and a large amount.

Here's one of my chicken recipes:
Easy parmesan chicken
Dip chicken breast in melted butter/garlic mix (1 stick butter and 1/2 tsp minced garlic)
Coat with breadcrumb mix (I used flavored/seasoned with about 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and pinch of garlic powder added).
Place in pan. Pour the remaining butter on top, or not. I do! :)
Bake in oven at 325 for around 30 minutes.
Yum.
Chicken leg
We played this at a friend's for Thanksgiving. It was fun. There may be a limit on how many people, I am not sure. You take regular dominos. Each draw 7. Before you give out the tiles put the highest domino that is the double number or the lowest number like 1 dot 1 dot. Then, everyone takes turns around the table and puts 1 tile only to match one of the ends. In this case it would be 1 dot of course. If someone has a double number again they put that tile diagonal next to the tile they are matching sticking out like a leg. Then the group has to keep going to match that other side to make the other leg. If you can't match it you keep drawing from bone yard (again one each time then onto the next person). All other times than doubles you keep matching the dots and if after you draw you don't have it next person goes. You do this until a person has only 1 tile left, they say 1. And when the first person has all tiles gone, the game is over and the people add up their dots and that is their high score. I got the highest score ever, which meant I was the biggest loser ever LOL. There are many strategies like cards, but mostly try to get rid of the high number dots first. The difference between this and dominos is the chicken leg part which is tough, and of course the fact you only draw 1 tile instead of keeping going and each person only puts 1 tile then the next person goes. You'd be surprised how the time flies when you play this. BTW: We were all from 46 to 56 in age range there. Hope that if anyone plays this the time flies by as much as it did for me. Happy Holidays!
Raw chicken??
I wouldn't give raw chicken to a dog for the same reasons I wouldn't give it to a person. Dogs can get salmonella poisoning, too.
& ditto what the poster below says about chicken bones. Except neck bones.
I buy chicken thighs once in awhile & boil it until it falls off the bones & add some broth to my dogs' food every day. They eat the *cooked* meat & skin as well, but I throw away the bones.
Andy is a picky eater. It took awhile to find a food he liked. WorriedMom (OP) may just have to keep experimenting.
Chicken
Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Skillet.
Boneless chicken breasts cut in to 1-inch pieces.
Chicken boullion (cubes or powder)
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained.
Onion (to taste) diced small.
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can diced peas and carrots.
Egg noodles, cooked and drained.
Saute chicken, mushrooms, and onion with chicken boullion and low fat spread chicken is cooked through and onions are tender. Deglaze pan with a little milk (basically use milk to loosen any browned bits stuck to pan). Add Cream of mushroom soup, peas and carrots, and egg noodles. Season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic, etc. Simmer until heated through and serve.
Cooking chicken
I wound be reluctant to cook chicken on an indoor grill. Pounding the chicken will help, but you really need to be careful about cross contamination. Until you get a feel for it, I would cook it on the grill to mark it, but finish it in the oven. I also would marinate your chicken. I love Soy Vey teriyaki marinade. There are some excellent crock pot recipies that incorporate chicken breast. I got a panni sandwich maker and those are excellent and easy. Start off slowly, look at recipies and do what tastes good. Eating out is definately not a habit you want to get your kids into. Just really be careful with raw chicken. When I pound chicken I use a plastic grocery bag. I put the chicken in there and then pound it. It saves on cleanup of splattered chicken and is more sanitary. All Recipies is a great site, as well as BHG.com. Good luck and have fun. 
Chicken and biscuits?
When I bake a whole chicken at the beginning of the week, later in the week I cut up the leftovers into a casserole dish with a can of cream of potato soup, cream of celery soup and peas and carrots. Top with Pillsbury biscuits. If you want the complete recipe, feel free to e-mail me.
I'm roasting a chicken
probably broccoli from the garden, not sure what else yet.
Chicken Salad
I agree with keeping it simple . . . just wanted to add that I love to use leftover grilled chicken, and don't forget the garlic. Love the garlic!
mix chicken with various marinades...
Use any salad dressing or marinade. Example: steamed/boiled chicken cooled then stir Caribbean mango marinade. Eat as is or mix in some fresh dill, shredded lettuce, fruit, whatever. Have on crackers, toasted pita chips, in a roll, etc. Use any salad dressing or marinade. I never use mayo - too blah, need that zing!
chicken sphagetti (sp). nm
d
chicken soup does!
and if you make it thicker and put a pie crust lid on it you can make home-made (much healthier in my book) pot pies easily. i would just advise rice instead of pasta...the pasta can lose its texture during thawing sometimes. a beef roast with potatoes and all freezes well too. I usually make a double batch of both of these and put one in the freezer. Same with lasagne. :)
me too and chicken mcnuggets in
chicken soup
Good ol' "Jewish penicillin" - chicken soup. Use leftover chicken or steamed chicken thighs or breasts if no leftovers are available. Use Swansons natural chicken broth (no sodium) but can use bullion, but it contains a lot of sodium. Use about a quart or more of natural chicken broth. I like to use baby carrots whole, but can certainly use sliced carrots. Season with lots of minced garlic and a little dill weed (maybe a teaspoon). I slice in a couple of things of celery or sliced celery hearts with leaves. I sometimes add noodles, or rice, sometimes I use a package of frozen mixed vegetables which are really terrific, depending on what I have available and what type of soup my family wants. Add some white pepper, not black pepper. Simmer until carrots and celery are soft. If using pasta or rice, add that last, otherwise it soaks up too much broth and gets soggy. My family would eat this even if they were sick and nothing else appealed to them, that is why I call it "Jewish penicillin." This is a Jewish mama's recipe. Enjoy - it is so simple and so delicious not to mention nutritious and healthy. Note: Never let your chicken leftovers go to waste - make a pot of chicken soup!
Chicken in foil - sm
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded a bit thin, place in tin foil, season with Italian spices/herbs, garlic, cover with sliced onion, zucchini, green pepper, a jar of sliced mushrooms, a bit more seasoning, dot with margarine, fold foil tightly, place in a pan, over 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Juices are good on rice.
Can also place all in a 9 x 13 pan, covered tightly with tin foil and baked.
Can vary toppings to your taste - can add shredded mozzarella.
Chicken teriyaki
Is there a reason you can't do it in a skillet? You might be thinking you can't "grill" it over an open grill, which I can understand, but I'm not grasping why you can't use a skillet. A flat or kind-of-flat skillet will work just fine. Brush it lightly with oil to keep the goo from sticking too badly and to provide a bit of something for the meat to brown on. You need the kind of high heat/hot metal of a skillet or grill in order to caramelize the sugar in the sauce. Otherwise, you'll just have baked chicken in goo. (Voice of experience, here!)
A skillet will cook the meat quickly without drying it out. The oven is going to dry it out too much, I think, and you won't get the nice brown glaze outside. The goal is just done, moist chicken inside and a nicely browned crust outside.
Either way, marinate the chicken ahead of time. You can use some dilute sauce for this. Also soak the skewers a few hours in water so that they don't burn as readily.
I guess you can do this in the oven, but if you do, how about cooking the chicken and THEN skewering it? Nobody will know! It will be a lot easier to turn the meat and get good contact with the pan. If you choose to do it in the oven, you might line a heavy pan with aluminum foil, shiny side up, and coat it with a very thin layer of oil. Arrange the marinated chicken so that one side of every piece is flat on the foil. Every so often, turn the meat so another side is down and brush with sauce. When it's done, skewer it with the soaked skewers, add some more sauce, and finish in the oven until the sauce gets like you want it.
If you have a spray bottle, put some water in it. If the skewers do catch on fire, just spritz them out.

how do you cook your chicken?
are you baking it or on the stove?
my sister used to make us rice and teriyaki chicken and i loved it. im not so much a cook, but would like to do this as it seems so simple
fiesta chicken
4 boneless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces.
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup and mix with 1/2 can white wine or chicken broth
1 cup pepperidge farm stuffing
1/2 stick butter melted

pour soup mix over
SPrinkle stuffing overtop and then pour melted butter on top.
Baker 350 for 45 minutes
Easy and good!!
chicken w/stuffing
Use Italian dressing to rub on boneless chicken for flavor, prepare corn bread stuffing or instant from mix, either put under each breast or serve separately, peel and wash small potatoes, coat w/the same Italian dressing or non-saturated fat oil, bake at 375 for about 45 min. depending on thickness of chicken, until chicken is well cooked, sometimes you can just put this in a large baking dish and you don't have to do anything but check the chicken to be sure it's "done" and I find it pretty simple and serve a vegetable on the side if available.
Chicken paprikash
I am Hungarian and that is our favorite meal. I figured if he did not like it, he was not worth marrying!!! Luckily he loved it as does our 4 kids now; 2 out of 4 ask for it for their birthday dinner. I do remember the first time I cooked breakfast for him as a married couple and it was an electric stove and I had grown up with a gas stove. I burned EVERYTHING! But, he still ate it and did not complain. 20 years later I'd bet he'd complain if I did it now! LOL
Beer can chicken
Has anyoe ever made this on the grill? How did it turn out, says to cook over one side and have the other side lit, Did you use and special rub on it?
Beer Can chicken
Hi, Just bought a beer can chicken roaster at Big Lots for $3 and you season the chicken and then put over the beer can and place on roaster -- for charcoal grills you use indirect cooking method which is arrange the coals away from the food so that juices from food do not reach the coals. Place a foil drip pan in the middle of the fire box and mound the coals around the pan, making sure the pan is large enough to cover the surface below the food.
For gas or electric follow directions for indirect cooking for units with 2 or more burners, one burner should be turned off after preheating and food should be placed over the unlit or off burner. For units with 1 burner, set burner to lowest available setting cooking times range between 1-2 hours depending on heat source and size of chicken use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Hope this helps

Best Chicken Wings I have ever made myself (sm)
Go to www.bettycrocker.com and do a search for the recipe called "Engine-revving Chicken Wings". I have substituted bottled Chili Sauce for the cayenne pepper sauce (hot sauce), and I have also substituted pancake mix for the Bisquick, and both come out wonderful especially if you prefer "hot wings" that are not soaking in a lot of grease. My only other tip is when you place your foil-lined baking sheet in the oven initially to melt the butter or margarine, when taking it out before loading it with the coated wings, make sure the you spread the butter around because they may stick. Another tip: You do not have to let these marinade the entire four hours. Sometimes, I have only marinated them for two hours, and they come out great. I also have excluded the onion salt that it calls for - still awesome.
couple more chicken recipies.
CHICKEN RUEBEN

recipe for chicken salad
 Anyone have a good one?
it's' chicken, when in doubt, throw it out!!!
Toss it........chicken needs to be refrigerated after cooking and leaving it all night in the oven is not a good thing, I have done it myself and thrown the chicken out.
When in doubt, throw it out! 
Grilled boneless chicken - sm
marinated in low fat italian dressing. Slap it on the George Foreman grill and done in minutes. Sometimes cut them up and toss in a salad. Other times just the chicken, stealing a bite here and there as I work.
When I feel like a change of pace, I dip the chicken in milk and dust it with powdered ranch dressing mix, then grill.
And what I do is add a can of Cream of Chicken about an hour before sm
serving to give you a good, thick gravy - it combines the juices of the turkey plus the good taste of the soup. No one can ever tell how I got the gravy so thick and tasty (over home-made mashed potatoes) but the trick is that instead of flour or corn starch!
homemade chicken soup here
Teenage son just walked in and said, Oh, good. We get to eat tonight. LOL. Guess he is tired of take-out.
Can a cat get sick by eating raw chicken.
I have some stay cats, mama and 2 babies at the door. I have been feeding them milk, dog food, whatever they will eat. Any, one is a little kitten that managed to get inside and I did not know it. I look in the kitchen and she has a piece of raw chicken. I had boneless chicken breasts out to thaw. Is she going to get sick? Should I give it back to her.
Mexican Chicken soup
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium rib celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned
1/4 cup canned green chiles
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can posole, drained or frozen corn kernels
4 canned whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup cooked skinless shredded chicken breast (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, and cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add the green chiles, posole, tomatoes, and oregano and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pull the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chicken, cilantro leaves, and lime juice. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
I normally buy 2 of the already roasted chickens at the store (Wal-mart) and eat most of one chicken for dinner and then use the leftovers as well as the next chicken for the soup, I know that is more chicken than what is called for, but it just really makes for a wonderful soup. I don't always have cilantro on hand so I usually leave that out. Also, for the whole tomatoes, I usually use a large can of crushed tomatoes. Sometimes the soup is a little to thin so I might throw in a handful of instant rice. My family can't get enough of it.
