Pork BBQ:

3 lb boneless pork roast

1 large can/bottle tomato juice

6 oz worcestershire sauce

1 large onion, cut up (doesn't have to be chopped)

3 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons vinegar (white)

salt & pepper to taste

Place pork roast in crock pot. Pour tomato juice over roast. Add remaining ingredients, stir, cook on high for 4-5 hours. The meat falls apart, but you may need to shred. Turn to low until ready to eat. Delicious

Pot Roast:

3 lb beef roast

1 onion cut up

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can beef broth

3-4 beef boullion cubes

2-3 bay leaves

garlic salt and pepper

Sprinkle roast with garlic salt and pepper on all sides; place in crock pot. Spread soup over top of roast. Add onion and bay leaf to pot. Add beef broth and boullion cubes. Add enough water to just cover ingredients. Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 6-8 hours. Meat is real tender and falls apart.

I usually serve over rice or noodles. Makes delicious hot open-face roastbeef sandwiches too.

Yes, it is possible. Here is a link to the instructions:

and this worked very well for me.  I also felt a little out of it for the first week or so, but give it time to work as I didn't notice any changes until about 3-4 weeks after taking it.  I'm sure you know this, but don't stop taking it altogether without weaning because I actually ran out of it once for about a week and I had really bad symptoms of withdrawal after the second day. 

Hope it works for you!  It really did help me a lot, and I got to a point where I didn't need it anymore. 

I took that 1/2 a tab this morning and fell asleep on the couch after lunch.  Ended up oversleeing for my 2:00 shift.  Don't want to do that anymore.

I'm sorry about what happened to you.  That would be freaky to have someone jump out in front of your car like that.

At first when I went to bed I was freakin' out!  I did not sleep that well, but them drifted off. I think maybe when Hermie comes home at night (He works at home, but has a job a few evenings second shift) when he check his mail he leaves the front door open. I think that is how they get in! He said he had three in about 5 years!!  See my post about Hermie. I'm havin' some unsavory thoughts!  HAAAA!

Yes, the party was a smash hit. My precious growled at me when I acted like I ws gonna take her new rope toy. I heard this little ERRRRRR under the table and cracked up. She loves to jump up on my lap about 500 times per visit, but last night those  jump-ups were rather limited. She was GUARDING HER TOY! Every time she jumped up I could see her looking to the side with her big eyes watching the toy on the floor! 

I will try to enjoy my day. Some days I am not really up for just being alone and doing errands, but today I am. I need to relax. I have had so much pain lately again. I am glad we are email friends and sure wish we could get together sometime. Do you enjoy watching the agility trials and dog shows? I wish I knew of a place when it gets cooler to do to just take a lawn chair and watch these fabulous dogs perform for the crowds!  I don't know if I told you before, but I went to Westminster with my niece and friend in 2006! What a thrill!  I wrote a song and sang it on CD and took along and gave it to David Frei. I sure wish you could hear it!  About a month ago I wrote another song about a dog show, but I really don't want to go to the expense now to find someone to play for me and put it on CD.

Have a great day, and read my Hermie post. You might smile. IT IS ALL TRUE, so help me TYNE! 

Loved it, but poor Christian, feeling so left out.  But still up to his old ways.  I didn't like what he did at the end.

We've been married for 16 years.  I don't know what the average is, but I guess you have to really want it.

...one of our previous pastors was called on the carpet for putting up a few Halloween decorations on his own propery.  Not by anyone in our congregation, but by a stranger.  They told him he should "know better."

I also don't know what decorating for Halloween has to do with those poor Amish girls, either.  Weird.  I decorate for fall more than Halloween, especially since my kids don't like to carve Jack-o-lanterns anymore, and Halloween has never been my thing since I was a little kid and the neighborhood teenagers had me scared out of my wits, but it sounds like you have fun!!

I get what you're pointing out - makes no sense (esp the teacher-child molestation issues)....

On TV last night was a program on the Miami Drug Cartel from the 1970s thru the 80s and into the 90s.....it was so interesting to see how this city was built up......and so much of it was from the drug business, laundering money out of country, and returning it back to Miami in the form of constructing new sky scrapers everywhere and the cigarette racing boats

.......it's going to be on several times this week on Nat'l Geographic TV but worth checking out.......all appeared to be white collar crime too....most of these people (who are now quite elderly or getting quite elderly) were sharing their drug-running stories and not from jail.  It was riveting to see how it all came about, how it evolved, and how it changed drastically during the Reagan era....and how *crack cocaine* came to be and how that particular drug has taken down so many from so many walks of life.

Drugs are a big factor in why people make these bad choices that they do - what you were pointing out..........studying, getting degreed, and then thrrowing it all away...and that's what was shown on this TV show!!! 

Very sad, indeed!!!

in Africa and in the Adirondacks in this country and NOLA.  This was not the usual american idol - no one got booted off the show and they collected MILLIONS of dollars during this 2-hour special.

Unless you watched it last night, best hold your tongue because you have no clue.......last night was not a REALITY show American Idol -

AGAIN, IT WAS A TELETHON.......

I do believe Laila Ali or Apollo are going to win, although Laila toned it down last night because her father and mother were sitting on the sidelines (her mom is always there but first time for Mohammed).  He didn't look great but he smiled on one side of his mouth, had that eternal twinkle in his eye, and pointed at someone he recognized.

love Ali, and not bragging or anything but I met him when I was 18 and he was known as Cassius Clay...

ut-oh - age giveaway *lol*

The guy and his dad are talking about their circles on the cell phones and the guy realizes he isn't in his dad's circle, just a bunch of senior citizen women.  And his dad asks, Do you want me to hook you up?  My husband and I couldn't stop laughing.  That was so cute.

We also like the ones on ESPN with the Nascar drivers in driving school with the grouchy cop.

So, whatever.  Who cares if I get a reply.  But then I started thinking, wow, they REALLY just don't care.  It's not like I'm suprised, of course, but still, when something like this happens it really just make you feel bad .    I'm just trying to console myself thinking that maybe they are just too busy or both of them didn't get my 2 separate emails.
