I'm doing the cooking.  My sister gets equal billing cause we're doing it at her house.  :)  Soooo, I'm looking for some vegetable ideas.  I am about sick of green bean casserole!  Does anyone have any really tasty recipes for vegetables side?  Any kind of vegetables.  I'm looking for something different and fabulous.

I had a corn casserole at one potluck I went to, but never got the recipe.  Anybody got a good corn recipe?

Thanks Ladies!

This has been real fun!....Now we're all gonna rummage through our old videos or hit the video store and have a blast.    Cat

but what does DH stand for?  It seems as though you are speaking of your husbands when you use this, but what exactly does it stand for and why do you use it?  

This would be a great concept, but have you been to the politics section of the board.  It gets really nasty.    People acuse people of things, republicans fighting against dems each bashing the other side based on their opions, and one who posted that something was offense to her and she got bashed for that. 

My rule is I try to treat people nice all the time, but when you post something and get bombarded with other posts knocking you down it does put you in an arguing mode.

A friend forwarded this to me.  A lot of things have been credited to Andy Rooney (CBS 60 Minutes) that he never said, so I won't swear to whether he said this or not.  If not, he probably wishes he had:

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant.. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

I found one of my favorite clips from Will and Grace on youtube, and it always makes me laugh, so I wanted to post it.  Jacks goes overboard with the caffeine.
