Paula finally came clean

In Reply to: I agree with you sm - idol chatter
I saw on the Today show today that Paula FINALLY admitted that she was addicted to pain pills and is now clean. Duh, like we didn't know something was up even when she denied it. She does seem better this year although still annoying.

Hey Paula
Did you see her reality show Hey Paula? It showed the last time she was on HSN and she was really "loopy", she blamed it on no sleep.
What did you think about Paula's sm
performance last night? With all her back problems she can still move.
Paula on AI
She sure can move, and she looks great, but the sound was over synthesized or whatever you call it. It's the same way Brittany Spears sings. It sounds so mechanical and robotic.
I'd like to do what Paula Deen is doing . . .
Have a successful family restaurant, be on the cooking channel. I'd specialize in vegetarian gourmet cooking.
Paula Deen
I like Paula Deen very much but on the last show I saw she acted like she had had too much to drink. She made punch and she was drinking through a straw out of the punch bowl. At the same time her bird was also drinking out of the punch bowl.
Same here; especially Paula's food...
I say to my husband it's no wonder she looks like that - look what she's making now. lol. I don't care for all that fat either. I looked up her recipes and found chicken pot pie, fried bisquits, deep fried turkey, fried cream corn!, deep fried cheesecake!, macaroni and cheese, fried empanadas with cheese dip! Do people down south really eat like that? I probably eat stuff like that twice a year.
AI Paula's outfit what did you think sm
I thought it was not appropriate for the show. I am suprised no one made a remark on the sho.
Paula Abdul on HSN now....I think she's...
intoxicated. Or is she always like that?
Got this from Paula Deen's cookbook--
it is great but only thing I do not like is that it does not reheat well
4 c macaroni
2 c grated cheddar cheese
3 egs, beaten
1/2 c sour cream
4 T butter
1/2 t salt
1 c milk
cook and drain macaroni. combine remaining ingredients, add to macaroni. bake 30-45 minutes. top with more cheese.
I am seriously worried about Paula Deen
Every time I see her on her show, she looks bigger and bigger.
Poor lady, she is so sweet, I really like her show, but she just uses an obscene amount of butter... so so fattening. I don't see how she going to make it, eating the way she does. Yikes.
Everything she makes looks delicious but I know I can't make or eat any of it!
I only watch Paula Dean sm
She is the best. I can watch her show and not get distracted and anxiety-driven like some of the other shows. Rachel Ray drives me nuts with the way she talks with her hands, even on her talk show. Her voice is even annoying. I do like that gal from Semi-homemade, though. She's easy to watch.
I saw on Paula Deen I think that they are injecting
I think it was on Paula Deen on foodtv I saw them injecting melons with vodka/liquor and I thought it was a fabulous summertime idea!!
I used to not like Paula, but compared to Cara,
I love Paula. I hope they get rid of that new judge before the next season... Ugh.
I totally love Paula Dean sm
2:30 and waited for about an hour and a half. Hubby and kids went on siteseeing and I had my son's IPod and also talked to several people in line. (btw, I went in July so it was incredibly hot) you actucally will pass a bar (depening on where you are in line) and there is a sign that says "aren't you glad you can have beer on the streets" or something like that. You can get small cups of water at the check-in window but have someone hold your place in line. I can not say that I would stand in line again. I expected the presentation to be a bit more. Food was good, but not the best I have ever had. If you don't mind waiting I sort of think it is worth it just to say you have been there. Right outside of Savannah is her brother's restaurant "Uncle Bubba's". We loved that. We didn't have reservations but only waited about 20-25 minutes. We also took a haunted tour (kids loved it) this was one that actucally toured a graveyard plus a house. We really thought is was worth it. Also, down by the river the street performers (some, not all) were really quite entertaining. Have a wonderful trip.
Don't care for Paula Dean or Rachel Ray.
I don't like the heavy type of food that Paula Dean cooks. And forgive me, but I find her voice and accent grating on my nerves. I much prefer Giada DeLaurentis. It's nice that the Food Network has such variety. There's something for everyone.

Exactly, I think Kara should go and Randy, Paula and Simon should stay
like it was before.
Chris will go today!
Mr. Clean
Boy, do I have work for him!
I like clean but don't like to clean (sm)
My house is cluttered and it's hard to clean or dust. When I worked at home I would wash my hands every 5 minutes or so because I was always touching dust and the sink was so convenient. Now I work outside in the dirt and I go hours without being able to wash up. I hate touching trash cans without being able to wash, but I remind myself it's just potting mix and and plant material we put in there, so I try to convince myself it's okay, LOL. I do keep handiwipes on my golf cart to use after touching really stinky, rotten dead plants. There is usually a trace of dirt under my nails now - so weird. I have to shower twice a day when it's hot.
Getting towels clean
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get towels to smell clean again. I've tried various detergents, Borax, hot water, cold water, hanging to dry, dryer sheets and nothing seems to work. I wash my towels, we use them once or twice and they just don't smell fresh anymore. Also after we use them we hang them on a towel rack to let the fresh air dry them. My husband hates the bleach smell so don't use that.
I use OxyClean, but it's the clean
feeling and whiteness I notice. I only use my towels once and then wash them again, but DH uses them more than once.
Mine was also to clean out some but
I had an artificial plant, still had the price on it, for $24.99 and had priced at $9.00. I had a guy who walked up and said I only have $5.00 left in my wallet at which time I told him better keep it, hard times might be coming. You know, I had really priced everything so right, had a pair of women's leather sandles, never worn, just bought this summer and had paid over $50.00 for them, had marked for $7.00 and 1 lady offered me $4.00. I am not hard up and when I price things as good as these, they can sit there forever before I just hand them away- that is unless I want to and then I can take to Goodwill and get deduction. I am older and I really paid dearly for this in terms of wear and tear on me. It was hot, humid yesterday morning starting out and by the end of the sale my body had so many aches and pain and just pure exhausation. I made overall about $200.00 on it but after paying my housekeeper who came, spent the night and helped me the next day, I came out to the good about $60.00- not enough to wear me down again. I just spoke with hubs and any and everything left over I am donating to Goodwill (and getting that write-off at the same time).
I agree you clean up after yourself, but
to go "BALLISTIC" over it seems a bit much. Must be lots of other things going on.
Clean house
Almost forgot my other idea - to do as Neacy on Clean House and have the family sit down and make a list of the things that routinely get done around the house and assign tasks to each person.

Does it clean the bottom of the shower/tub also?
nm
Yes, I do think not all people clean them each time
ask the ones who are on here. I would be willing to say that a lot let their cleaning go from time to time, maybe they are cooking the same food, say a hamburger or steak and think it is ok for another session. Does that apply to anyone out there?
Definitely clean the fan and the inside of the tower
Definitely need to clean out the inside of the tower, especially the fan. This gets clogged with dust over time and can eventually stop working and cause the computer to shut down and not boot back up. This can also cause damage to the motherboard and, if this happens, you're looking at getting a new computer. It is never a good idea to store a computer tower inside of a desk. They never have enough ventilation in there, even if it seems like they do. Computers work best where the temperature is much cooler.
Then I would suggest for clean water and
beaches you take them to Cancun. Florida has some bad water and beaches a lot of times. The water in Cancun crystal clear and the sand, no matter how hot it is, never burns your feet.
How do you clean artificial plants? (sm)
Seriously - the green ones (not flowers) how do you get the dust off of them? LOL
I think you were supposed to use CLEAN, NEW cat litter! nm

Time for me to clean mine out cuz if I don't
the health department is going to condem it.
Make sure you keep the brushes clean
My daughter couldn't figure out why her face kept breaking out. Turns out, she had never cleaned or replaced any of her brushes for a year! Ick! Once she got new brushes, skin cleared up right away.
We always clean out our closets for Salvation
Army, and donate to the Toys for Tots. We also just gave a bunch of good furniture to hospice, and I always do their tree ornament angel thing as I've had hospice for my mom and dad and am ever so grateful for that help.
How Clean is Your House? Your Microwave
You know that UK show that's now here in the US..
This weeks show on HT..
How Clean is Your House? Your Microwave
From 1 to 5 with 5 being the best... (1 - Terrible, 2 - Little Messy, 3 - So So, 4 - Clean, 5 - Spotless)
Mine is spotless because I just cleaned it.
So I'll give mine a 5.
Ouch - my husband had to come clean to me too sm
I was very upset. Physically sickened, the whole range of emotional distress.
Then I realized that it wasn't just about him or about me, it was our family. The kids would really suffer.
Believe me, it was no easy thing for him either. I had helped him get out of a sticky financial situation before, right after his divorce from his ex-wife.
I thought everything was all good. I could not have been more wrong.
So after the initial shock of it wore off, we sat down and discussed the situation.
There were still tears of frustration, anger, and all of that from me but there were also some tears from him too, having taken it so far and keeping me in the dark.
He knew exactly what he had risked but realized it a little too late to fix it on his own. He had no choice but to come clean.
He was absolutely drowning in it but he decided it was better that I hear it from him, rather than having collection agencies start calling constantly.
Your husband needs to hear it from you.
Maybe if you printed these discussions and had him read through them it might ease it just a little.
I wouldn't expect miracles but wouldn't you rather hear it from him if the tables were turned?
Our marriage was pretty rocky before this happened too. It's still not the best but we are trying to make it work.
Financial infidelity is probably as hard on a marriage as cheating. The deception and sneaking around -- trying to cover your tracks. You may not realize the exact depth of stress you are putting on yourself with trying to hide this.
You said you love him. That's the biggest thing.
The crud will only keep getting deeper until you start shoveling.
Come clean with him and let him help you figure out what to do.
Telling him the truth is going to be the hardest part.
Good luck to you.
Yes you are weird, I do not cook, clean, etc., etc.
In fact have housekeeper that just came yesterday to clean and husband does the cooking. I get no satisfaction really from either. My house is kept nice but I pay to get it done.
and what happened to my right to breathe clean air?
when you say YOU DO IT IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME... GOOD FOR YOU!!!
but do you REALLY think that goes for EVERYONE?
come on, that is a ruthless thing to say when you d*mn well know how many people die of lung cancer from second hand smoke or from alcohol related incidents...
im glad you are acting responsible, but the way you are acting about the situation is NOT
how to clean chrome faucets.........
'For chrome faucets: Mix together equal amounts of white household vinegar and water. Using a soft toothbrush dipped in the solution, scrub gently. Rinse well; dry.
To remove mineral deposits: Soak a facial tissue, paper towel, or several cotton balls in the solution, then wrap or place on the faucet for several minutes to dissolve the deposits. (This is an old trick of my mother's, and it still works great.) Rinse thoroughly and buff-dry with a soft cloth.
For gold-toned faucets: Mix a little baking soda with distilled water on a sponge and gently dab the water spots. Do not press hard or use a scraping tool or abrasive cleanser. Rinse, then wipe dry.'
Agree, have one - avoid using it sometimes because it really is a pain to clean!!!
but do people really not clean it each time? Ewwwww. Gross. :)
Do you have a Spencers Gifts by you. Lots of clean,

Underwear - clean or dirty, your choice.

agree with the clean up, and remove programs not used. sm
research the computer site, like dell, etc. sometimes they have forums, questions and answer areas. sometimes they offer fixes if it was a company glitch.
but first get your ducks in a row by defragmenting and freeing up space.
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.
Anyone have any ideas on how to clean artificial plants, flowers?
I do have the real things in my home but in the bedroom I have several plants and/or flowers that really need a good dusting. I do not think I should put them under water. I would rather have the real plants all over the house but have to be careful of some because of my furkids. Thanks!
