velvetta and cheese whiz. I have to have velvetta for my broccoli casserole and cheese whiz for my sausage balls. Both of these are 2 of my children's favorites.

Ooooh. I like that one.
.
Ooooh pretty!
Ooooh, I slept till 10:00 also that was after
being awake from 3:00 until 5:30 which is not unusual. DH and DD left yesterday to go do some private horseback riding lessions about 2 1/2 hours from here. DS left at 6:00 this morning for a speech cometition. Yes, after I had just fallen asleep at 5:30 he woke me at 6:00 to tell me bye. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything today. As a matter of fact, I took a nap from 12:30-1:00. I am such a bad girl.
Ooooh, Chris Nunez from Miami Ink is one of mine!
Yum!
Ooooh, my kids love them and we always have chicken, can you shoot me the recipe? :0) thanks!...nm

I do live in Arkansas - my parents live up in Branson so I'm in Missouri quite often!

Calling all you animal lovers - live and let live or intervene? - sm
I have a dilemma. I am an animal lover and have something I cannot come to a conclusion about. At a restaurant where I eat lunch every Friday with a friend of mine, I have noticed a young male kitty hanging around outside looking for food. This past week he ran up to my friend and rubbed her legs and quietly meowed. I purposely did not try to pet him because I knew I would get attached and ignored him. Well, ever since then I find myself thinking about him and wanting to rescue him. Meanwhile, I already have 4 inside cats (2 rescues, 2 Maine Coons) and hubby really does not want another cat in the house because a few years ago I promised we would never have more than 4 (had up to 5 at one point previously). I actually have a huge screened deck he could stay on indefinitely because I do not believe in letting cats run loose for their own safety. I could provide plenty of food, a warm place to sleep, and veterinary care. At some point I would even probably work him into our household, but I just cannot do it at the moment. Just not sure I would be doing right by that kitty because I am sure he would be upset and confused for a good while as to where he was and what was going on, but is that better than being hungry and cold? I know there are lots of animal lovers out there. What does everyone think?? 
I'm a live-and-let-live person but had to draw the line
after I found HUGE holes in the walkway between my house and barn. I thought they were just little mice stealing grain, but then I spotted one and it was a HONKIN RAT! My poor olderly cat was out there with me at the time and saw it, and he hissed at it and ran away!
I asked for advice on what to do at a local agricultural board, because I have other animals and didn't want to use poison and conventional traps weren't working. They advised putting a large pale of water out with some seeds floating in it, figuring the rats would go for the seeds and end up drowning. That was a no-go because the water just froze up solid. I wound up reluctantly going with Decon because I just can't have my house destroyed. I haven't had seen any more rats or evidence of them stealing grain, so I'm guessing they have died. The guy at the grain store promised me the rats would not die in the building and stink the joint up, rather they would crawl off and die outside. I don't know if I believe that, as it is still winter here and decomposition would be holding off until it warms up. We'll see, but at least the destruction has been halted.
Good luck and I too say have no mercy, because you just don't need them destroying hour house or causing a spark chewing wires and burnin' the place down. It is war!
 (How un-PC is this emoticon?!)
Make them live outside? This is so funny! Ours live outside, where they WANT to be. sm
Not all dogs want to be in "indoor" dogs, mind you. They have plenty of space to run around and play, fenced, and if they are brought in during bad weather they whine at the back door to go back out! So before you comment on outside dogs, you really need to get your facts straight. Seriously. Not all dogs are made or want to be inside all of the time.
Thanks so much! I just couldn't seem...
to find it. I used to look at it quite often, but I hadn't in a while. Thanks, again! 
Couldn't help it....
I haven't figured out if he is a moron or if he really can't believe what is happening. I would like to hear some background information on him. I really think he could have his own show!! Too funny...
Tried but couldn't -- sm
I discussed this at length with a bankruptcy attorney. If I filed for banruptcy (have a lot of old debt from personal issues before we were married), now while married this could affect his credit which is perfect. Instead, what the attorney told me was to fly under the radar as most things don't stay on a credit report more than 7 years depending upon your state. He told me that once a debt is tranferred around from agency to agency it gets very difficult to validate the debt (and the collection agency's computer printout does not count). He told me never to talk to them by phone. First written response is always to ask for validation and if you get a computer printout, ask for specifics like dates, times original amounts etc. Then if they can actually prove it, they may offer a settlement. I have settled a lot of old debt for way less than the collection amount by negotiating and insisting they take it off my credit. If you want more info, feel free to e-mail. :)
Wow, couldn't have said it better myself...
You go girl!
Couldn't believe this...
My husband said he heard that any employee working for Lowe's would be fired if they said, "Merry Christmas" to a shopper, for fear of offending anyone within earshot. Do you notice now everyone will only say, "Happy Holidays"? You never hear the word "Christmas" anymore. I'm not offended when I hear someone mention Kwanza or Hannakuh. Why does the word "Christmas" send so many people reeling??
I just couldn't ask for more!

nobody said you couldn't eat it
make you think twice. Nobody said anything about regulations or telling you to exercise. Speaking of coffee, maybe you should switch to decaf. Geez
Couldn't be better! = sm
Upstate NY here. My crocuses are in full bloom, daffodils poking up. And warm, soft winds carressing my shoulders when I go out without a coat or sweater!!!! Too bad we're supposed to start getting rain, but it's nice to know this is the trend now, not like January thaw!
I couldn't have said it better - well put
Well put.
Wow! I couldn't have said this better myself!
You're right on!
Are you saying this couldn't have ...sm
happened with a Great Dane or a Great Pyranees or Lab, etc.? Are you saying these dogs aren't capable of killing or mauling? I don't think the old man was their master. I think the pits belonged to the daughter and her boyfriend. Unfortunately this happened and it shouldn't have. These dogs for some reason chose to attack. I don't know or you why. I would like to know but we will never know. I just don't believe that dogs attack for no reason. It don't make it right for them to attack but I think there is always a reason. Something provokes them.
I guess the daughter and boyfriend thought the dogs would not hurt the man but something happened there that day and a dog should never kill a person. But something happened. These dogs were not quite as stable as thought to be or either the man wasn't stable enough to be staying in the house with the dogs. You are right you never know what the dogs will find to be threatening and something must have made these dogs feel threatened.
I take every precaution I can with my pit bull. He is not mean or vicious but he has that protective instinct for his family and that is what I have to protect others from. But so do German Shepards, Dobermans, etc. My dog also looks for me to tell him when it is okay. When someone is okay. When we introduce him to people we tell him it is okay CJ. He/she is nice. And we let him sniff them and then he will go have a seat and just chill. He don't want to hurt anyone he just wants to make sure nobody hurts his family. As soon as he knows we are fine he is fine and goes on about his business. But that is only if a visitor wants to meet CJ and then we will let them but otherwise he will stay in his fenced in back yard. I try to be as responsible as possible.
Probably most of us couldn't. I do think the men are the

Couldn't do it...sm
I love it all ~ steaks, roasts, burgers, chicken, turkey.
I always remember Ron White saying we didn't get to the top of the food chain by eating carrots.
I definitely couldn't do it
I love my meat. I don't eat a lot of red meat, but I love a good hamburger or steak now and then, and we eat chicken a lot. My daughter, who's 15 has been a vegetarian for about two years. I don't know how she does it. It helped her lose 20 pounds, though, and I give her a lot of credit.
EXACTLY Wannie!-I couldn't have said it better
Couldn't care less
I couldn't care less whether someone gives me good wishes for Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, or just a generic "happy holidays." I also don't care what any store decides to name their holiday decorations or sales after.
From a purely economic standpoint, it does make sense for businesses to combine holidays when they occur near each other. If they advertise only "Christmas" items, then it potentially excludes anyone who does not celebrate that holiday. The same goes for Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, etc. To market to the largest number of people, a general "holiday sale" works because each person can take from that what they want. For Christians "the holidays" in December means Christmas. For Jews it means Hanukkah. For pagans it means "Winter Solstice" (which, by the way, is where many Christmas traditions originated from, including the "Christmas" tree, but that's another story for another time).
I guess my point is that I personally feel some people make too big a deal out of things like this. There are far more important things in this world to focus one's attention on than what a store wants to call its sales.

I tend to believe the rumor he's working towards his own "Judge Larry" show, but personally I think he should take his acting skills to the Soprano's! LOL!! He's absolutely disgusting!
I had PMS so bad I couldn't stand myself let alone anyone
else. I got a great PMS pill from a chiropractor that helped a lot, and after moved from that area I would buy mega-B vitamin pills and take them. They really made a difference. Good luck and, believe me, you have a LOT of company! I had PMS long before they ever put a name on it.
Just because you couldn't get along as an intimate and
faithful couple, does not mean that you can't get along as friends. It just didn't work out in a commitment, that's all.
I couldn't agree more......sm
I sat and watched while innocent people were being dragged out of their homes in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina and all firearms taken out of their homes. These were not the gangs, the criminals running around killing people and stealing. These were law abiding citizens who had these guns to protect themselves from what obviously the cops couldn't, because most of the cops ran. I am sick to death of hearing ridiculous things said about gun laws, when those laws give you the right to protect yourself, but if it were not for the media videotaping those innocent people being handcuffed, sat on the curbs in front of their homes, while the local LAW broke the law, this would be covered up. There were so many civil and constitutional rights being violated it was sickening to watch. Their constitutional rights were being taken from them for absolutely no reason whatsoever and their homes searched like they were common criminals, while the thugs who usually run around the streets were hiding like cowards. Anyone with sense would know that it isn't the law abiders committing the crimes, it's the ones who aren't and those people will use something, ANYTHING, to kill someone if they want to, and they can always find a way to get a gun illegally. Those very people ranting and raving about gun control sure would hope for a gun if their home were being broken into and their lives or their children's lives were in jeopardy! Look at New Orleans to this day. The nuts are coming back and new gangs at that to steal from and kill tourists just for a few bucks. The police chief himself said they could not get enough police offers back in, so who do you think you would call if you were in the shoes of those living down there? You might have to look out for yourself.
I couldn't do it either and I am very glad there are
those who are willing and want to do it. I respect them for that. But then again, most of them couldn't do what we do every day either. Not a whole lot of people have the patience to sit and try to decipher what some mumbling, gum-chewing, eating, speed-talking dictator has to say. 
ER work...who couldn't do that!..nm

COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!
And just because you are the Navy doesn't mean you are immune to being called to Iraq. Any armed force, any position, can be called to active duty, PERIOD! Even, as it turns out, National Guard paper pushers!
I don't know how she couldn't unless the girl
is mentally retarded or otherwise impaired. They say the girl showed no motion whatsoever on the videotape during the attack. No crying, no screaming. Nothing. You have to know that would change a child's personality to have something like happen to her. If my child was suddenly emotionally changed I would definitely seek counseling for her.
and she is SEVEN now for goodness sake ...you would think it would come out by now.
Couldn't decide whether to
laugh or vomit with that story!
couldn't agree more
We just adopted an 18-mo border collie through the local rescue organization.
It seems to me that people's insatiable desire for "the best" and "the newest" drives a lot of this market. People want papered, cute little puppies, and are willing to pay big bucks for them. We skipped the whole awkward puppy stage and now have a wonderful new member of our family who hopefully will be with us for many years.

went out last night at 10:00 and couldn't
even see the moon. It was snowing here. I was so disappointed. I never saw an eclipse before. Guess I'll have to wait until 2010 to see the next one.
I couldn't put up with 5 days of this. I would

Couldn't you just scream?
Have had professional painters do the inside of my homes at different times. They all said NOTHING gets paint out of carpet.
I would call the kid's mom and tell her. It probably won't do any good as far as the carpet goes, but I would be sure and tell her that her child was not welcome in your home anymore.
I don't know why you couldn't call the
CC people yourself and ask for a lower rate. I have heard in Dave Ramsey's books there is a copy of a letter you can send to them.
I couldn't agree with you
You hit the nail on the head...good job!
PS - Except she did wonder why an MRI couldn't take 275 lb person - sm
Which I find hard to believe too.
Donna, it couldn't have been said better. nm

Someone who wanted a child and couldn't have one could
have cared for your child, though.
Yes, there was a line I couldn't understand,
and we didn't go back and replay it, though we should have.
Thanks.
Thank you. Couldn't agree more. No class.

Haven't seen it yet, but couldn't resist
opening it to see. I'm glad!
I'll still watch it.
Googled him but couldn't find sm
anything specific until you posted about the prophet. Thank you. It is quite beautiful. I am seriously considering it.
P.S. Couldn't really say John Candy or that would have
completely given it away.
Had to make ya work for it right?! :)
