One time our neighbor's kids fed our German shepherd candy corn while she was out on her run.

I was out in the driveway washing our car at the time, and I saw them playing with her, but then saw what they were feeding her. She then came inside and threw up yellow and orange all over our beige carpet. Thankfully we own a really good carpet steam cleaner!

Whenever our German shepherd wants to go out, she'll grab her leash bring it to you - SM

definitely Australian Shepherd
they are intelligent, sensitive, kind yet capable of protecting well, very responsive...but they are not for everyone (for their need to be with you a lot, need for exercise, etc)
my kids know the reason for the season. believe me the first time one of them said "who do you lo
more? santa or jesus..."...well thats all it took. they do get carried away with it., but they know the story of jesus. we are christians. its just so controversal, but yes she should have kept her mouth shut. she goes to a church where they are told not to practice the santa tradition. i know her church. that is fine with me. to each their own. btu there is a time and a place, teh classroom isnt it.
we did tell teh principal, he giggled and said "so what do we do now?'...adn he neve even spoke to her about it. believe me we gave him suggestions of what he can do...but nothing is happening. im just still batteling as to whether this is worth the trouble...or not. i still have a kindergartener that might get her as a teacher.

I read that for the younger kids, this is a good time
to explain to them that the characters they love on TV are just that "characters pretending" and they should look to parents, teachers, scout leaders, etc as role models. I am not saying you haven't done that, but I thought it was good advice for the young ones that are disappointed and don't understand.
Shepherd's Pie with lots of veggies
It's very filling and you can do wonders with only 1 lb of ground beef if you make this. Add enough veggies to displace some of the meat, whatever you have on hand.
It only takes about 4 potatoes to make enough topping, too.
I am not a teacher but I call kids that kind of stuff all the time (sm)
I call my kids little names, their friends whatever name pops into my mind at the time, my Brownie girl scouts names. Sweetie, honey, sweetie-sweet, squirrel, pumpkin-lumpkin, sweet potato, little sweeties, etc. To me it just signals that I am the adult and they are the kids and I like them, they are important to me. I think it makes them feel at home and comfortable. My children used to think kids were called "little sweeties" when they were younger. My daughter or son would say, "is that her little sweetie?" meaning is that her little boy or little girl. My son had a horrible 2nd grade teacher who yelled at the kids all day. My daughter had a wonderful second grade teacher who hugged them and called them endearing names. Why is it wrong to treat a child like a child? They are sweet and innocent and we are adults, parents and parent-like figures to them. I don't get it.
My german shepard has the number one name Max - but it is short for his registered name Max-in-a-mil
My Rott is Rock Haus
and last but not least I had to snakes male and a female named Felony and Miss Demeanor.
Oh and my Bichon is Mandolyn Lee

Absolutely, but I shake myself out of it quickly to make it a happy time for my kids and hubby. nm

My favorite time of night is when kids and hubby are asleep and the house is quiet...
Usmoms need some quiet time too...don't feel bad for feeling that way...I am sure we have all imagined what it would be like not having kids or a husband...but then that thought goes away and someone yells "Mommy" or "Honey"...LOL...
now- white lab, dobe/shepherd, terrier mix, beagle/blue heel, from shelters.

corn
 This casserole IS fabulous - my daughter made it last year, and hopefully will make it again this time!
Oh for crying in the corn
I've put in zillions of urinary catheters in males. I've cleaned behind foreskins. I've "dug" people out when they've had more problems than milk of magnesia can handle. (I'm a nurse turned transcriptionist.) That's totally more intimate than dancing with someone. I have never cheated on my husband even with those experiences. LOL
If these people cheat, it's not the dancing's problem, it's the person's problem.
I do not care for this show one bit, so I'm not defending it at all. I just think this argument is not terribly valid.
corn vs grass
Out west the prairie is a mess because the buffalo are missing. If you go to any ranch that is properly managed using grazing cattle there are flowers and prairie grasses everywhere, any land that is mismanaged looks awful. The prairie and the cattle were made for each other but are separated now because of feed lots. The cattle cannot be slaughtered past the age of two because of the endless list of diseases they succumb to. Also, if they only eat grain, the grain will kill them. So a little bit of corn at finishing may make them more valuable to the consumer, but it also increases the price to the consumer, compromises the health of the animal and the land. Letting them make food out of grass, rather than feeding them our food to make them marbled or juicy is controversial to me.

Cook rice according to package directions. Mix with all other ingredients. Pour into small casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
very, very tasty
OMG, fried cream corn?!!??
That stuff sounds like it should be from the "Coronary Cookbook."
Corn starch isn't really recommended
for yeast because it can actually feed yeast.
My DH uses Corn Husker's Lotion. NM

Talc and corn starch are not the same thing...

last year homemade carmel corn,
this year pumpkin mini-muffins with candy corn on top...
Rub some baking soda or corn starch into him well and brush out? nm

Do you have a corn maze to go thru nearby? Some are huge AND pricey! nm

Generic corn-chex cereal, milk, & a cup of coffee. (nm)

Frito corn chips in the bottom of a bowl, chili
on that with your choice of toppings - we usually put shredded cheese and onions on top. The local BBQ joint makes it with corn chips, shredded pulled pork, bbq sauce and bbq beans - SOOOO good!!
About Your Candy
Just wondering if you have a website regarding your candy business. ?
Arm Candy
You just have to enforce with him there are consequences to every action. Have a real heart to heart with him. Use Levi and Palin's daughter as a perfect example of young love. Remind him all the weight-watching, college, etc. will be down the drain if he makes a mistake. Then remind him of AIDS and all the other STD's that last a lifetime and encourage him to use protection. When the hormones are raging and the girls are falling all over them they need to be reminded. Just do it in a way that he knows you are not saying he is stupid but that you don't want to see him a mistake that could change/mess up his life for a long time.
Eye round roast, potatos, yams, corn, and string beans.
Taking advantage of the cool weather and using the oven.
Candy making
I use chocolate bark to dip with. I do know you have to watch the humidity outside. If the humidity is high, the chocolate will not set, but you can put it in the refrigerator to get it to set. Have fun!!
candy making
Aww, my favorite time of year. You can freeze your candy and it will still be good until Christmas. I make chocolate and peanut butter fudge and freeze it. As a matter of fact, it is really good frozen, takes longer to eat, just melts in your mouth. I have to disguise the candy in the freezer, otherwise people will pick at it and it will be gone by Christmas. YUM!
Candy and website
I am working on getting it back up and running...tell me what your interested in and I will send you some pics.
Oh, he is mostly arm candy and he is a looker!
Actually when it comes to money I have more than him so maybe I might find someone even younger than him but I doubt that. I never doubt his love for 1 minute.
P.S. Couldn't really say John Candy or that would have
completely given it away.
Had to make ya work for it right?! :)
I got 5 pounds of chocolate candy
Hubby remembered one night...just 1 night...and can't remember when, that I was so hungry for a piece of chocolate, he gave me 5 pounds of chocolate for Christmas!!! I love chocolate but not that much!!!! I think he wants me to get fat. 
I ate 2 pieces so far since Christmas. Hmmmmmmmmmm, think I'll go grab a piece now. It seems to be calling me.
I transcribed a Candy Caine once. sm
There was a doctor in the town I used to transcribe for named Dr. VonSick. Ironic?
There is an accounting firm in the next town over named Cheatham and Goleno. Cheat em? Not my accountant!
I went to school with a Candy Kiss = sm
She dropped out of school in 10th grade and married a man whose last name was Kowalski.
Do you keep a candy dish on your desk?
What's inside it?
I have one on my desk, but it usually only has sugar-free gum in it. Boring I know, but I hate it when my kids get cavities and since they raid my dish all the time, I have to take precautions. I also don't want to tempt myself all day long with sugar. Sometimes I get sugar-free Werther's candy or sugar-free lemonade candy but those bags are so tiny they don't last long.
Halloween candy warning
HALLOWEEN CANDY RECALLED
There is a new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency....
Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being
recalled due to the fact that they contain Mel amine, the ingredient in milk
product that has caused many infant deaths in china. These candies are
sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores. please make sure to
check your childrens halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE
PIRATE COINS (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) and
please let other parents know about this!
Christmas candy ideas
My husband and I make about 30 tins of candy each year to give to family and friends. We make chocolate covered cherries (just dip cherries in melted chocolate), white chocolate covered pretzels with red and green chocolate drizzled on top, turtles (I buy a 5 lb chunk of caramel), buckeyes (peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate), peanut butter kiss cookies, mixed nut clusters dipped in chocolate and peanut butter fudge. All of it is pretty simple, just time consuming. My family really looks forward to receiving it each year. I use a double boiler for melting chocolate. I haven't had much luck in the microwave. If you would like specific instructions for any of the above, feel free to e-mail me. I think the kids could do a lot of the dipping to help out.
Candy making question
If I make some candy would it still be good for Christmas? I'm going to make those Peanut Butter Bon Bons today.
How do you make you choolate chips and paraffin wax to dip them in? I can't remember how many choc chips I used before, but one time the candy didn't get as hard as it should.
I always keep these in the fridge anyway.
Is there a local candy making store?
They may have them, but not sure. I'm in Delaware, but we have a store that carries all kinds of little things to make your own candy. I do remember seeing cinnamon chips, and I wonder where they went? I wonder if you also tried Hershey's website for them or other websites. I wonder if you Google cinnamon chips???? just a thought....
What's your favorite Christmas treat/candy, etc?
Mine are the 'chocolate oranges' and Andes mints.
For homemade stuff, can't beat fudge, Chex mix and Christmas sugar cookies.
What're your favorites?
Or hard candy clicking around in their mouths, nm
