AA degrees
AA, BA are worthless today unless they are in a specialized field. Technical certificates are the way to go now. Companies are looking for skills not paper that says you took 2 or 4 years of college. I make more money than any of my friends who have AA or BA degrees..
It's 23 degrees here
and we're having our first major blizzard. Just got home driving in it. No fun. Did I mention I hate snow?! Inside it's a nice toasty 68. Just watching The Ghost Whisperer and ready for a very early night.
It is 11 degrees here in
Yes, when it's 90 degrees out, I care about AC. You

100 degrees in PA and my air conditioner is SM
not working! I am sitting here trying to type with water running. Just called Time and Temperature which said 102. Never was a summer person and this is not helping. Hope you are all cool! 
425 degrees/15 min - toothpick comes clean

Just outside of KC,Mo. with a lovely 8 degrees this morning. nm
It's so hot outside you could fry an egg on the sidewalk, 96 degrees, humid, and hot, hot, hot!!!
Hasn't rained in the past 3 days, frogs were singing some' fierce last night, so I know storms will be here at some point today!
It was over 90 degrees at 9:30 am in South Florida.

350 degrees - 25 minutes per pound SM
Put a rack in the bottom of the pan so the meat is not touching the liquid. Put about a cup or so of water in the bottom of the pain with some cut up onions and a little salt and pepper. Place the roast on the rack, fat side up. No need to cover the roast if you want a good crusty layer of fat on the meat. This also keeps the meat moist. 
I have a balmy 17 degrees at noon in PA
It's snowing...again. The kids missed another day of school. One of the only drawbacks of working at home. Can't call the boss and say I'm snowed in! But, yes, definitely looking forward to spring. I was ready for spring the day after Christmas!
7 degrees this morning on my way to school!
Our kids were dismissed early last Thursday because of afternoon snow showers (better to be safe than sorry). They also decided before sending them home on Thursday to close on Friday due to expected cold temperatures. Temps were the same as today, yet we go to school today. I don't get it. We were off Monday for an in-service day, but they always schedule that on King day. So why be off Friday but not today? I'm guessing some higher-ups wanted a 4-1/2-day weekend.
Back in my day (I'm 34), we went to school unless it snowed 2 feet or we got an ice storm. We never got off because it was "too cold". I asked the school secretary about this, who's close to my age, and she agreed about "our day" and said she thinks it has to do with so many parents letting their kids stand at the bus stops for 1/2 hour or more because they don't want to get dressed and drive them to the bus stop and not dressing the kids properly. She said you wouldn't believe the number of kids she sees at school dressed in shorts, etc, in the middle of winter. We live in the Northeast, so it's not like we expect it to be warm this time of year.
I just will never understand some parents. I drive my kids to school every day even though they're on the bus route. The busses are just too cold in the morning and they'd have to get up 1/2 hour earlier and we already get up at 7:15 to be at school by 8. I let them ride the bus home in the afternoon because the buses are warmed up 1/2 hour from picking up the high schoolers first and my kids are only on the bus for 15 minutes. I also make sure my kids have hat, gloves and scarves when it's cold. They don't always wear 'em, but they're in their backpacks if they need them. Why don't some parents care?
Sorry -- off my soapbox. This was just s'posed to be about the weather.  It's cold here -- BRRRRR
I only have 1 question - if you hold these degrees
what are you doing on this forum? Why are you not putting your masterful degrees to a better position that would be more than the lowly MT
northeast WI - 19 degrees, occasional snow--nm

I cook mine at 250 degrees for 1 hour and
then add sourkraut around it, sprinkle with brown sugar and cook at 350 for another 1-1/2 hours. Is always very tender.
I'm in San Francisco - 63 degrees, sunny, light wind. nm

Thanks for all the info!
Today in Michigan it's a balmy 6 degrees with -18 wind chill
With those kind of temperatures, today thermostat is on 70 and that's comfortable. But I have on sweat pants, a sweatshirt, and warm wooly socks. Usually it's at 68 and 62 at night.
19 degrees in west Michigan right now. -8 wind chill. BRRRR..nm

Boy's 7th B-day party
I am trying to think of a birthday party idea for 7-year-old boys at home. We usually do bowling or Chuck E Cheese-type party, but this year we are trying to not spend as much on the party because we are going on a big vacation 2 weeks after that. I am thinking scavenger hunt in the back yard, but any ideas would be great. Thanks!
B-day party
I think it was my daughter's 13th birthday that we rented a karaoke machine. There were kids ranging from 3-18 at that party and they had the time of their lives!

how about manicures and pedicures

Kerstin...What a lovely name! Do you have a pool nearby (recreation center)?...We used to....and it was free if you lived in the township....That'll be good recreation and exercise for kids and adults. Just make sure all the kids can swim...and don't rely on a lifeguard (I jumped in once after a kid before the teen lifeguard who was chatting up a young lady could be bothered to even look up).
Light snacks after swim....Knorr Swiss spinach dip with bread and taco chips, have a mild salsa available too, barbequed pork shoulder/pulled pork, barbequed chicken of just plain old hot dogs on the grill, buns, fresh sliced tomatoes and fresh fruit salad with seedless watermelon, canteloupe, strawberries, green grapes, pineapple chunks (Cool whip adds a nice touch) for desert. All these things you can do the night before (except the hot dogs) so you can relax and enjoy the moment. Just microwave the meat. Juicy Juice Berry always works....you could add a little ginger ale to make it more effervescent.
Considering there may be so many adults, you could ask them what their tastes are and if they'd be willing to bring a covered dish or help with prep.
All that matters is that Kerstin has a wonderful time. Peace and Joy to you Kerstin and all ya'll have a happy life together.

That was a brilliant idea....I've gotta write that one down for when I have grandchildren....

Scrapbook party
I did a scrapbook party for 4th grade. The girls had to bring two pictures of themselves. They would decorate two 5x7 pages, one they got to keep and the other with a special happy birthday message for my daughter to keep in a scrapbook. She still loves having that and she is in 10th grade.
Party idea
My daughter turned 10 this spring. We had a birthday breakfast kidnap. The girls received a bogus invitation (their parents and I had chatted ahead of time). Instead of the party time on the invite, we showed up at houses between 7 and 7:30am on a Sunday morning, woke them up, and took them to a diner for breakfast in their pjs! It was the quietest birthday meal ever! They loved it! At each house ALL the girls would go wake up their friend. Poor kids!
After breakfast we came home and made lip gloss, decorated flip flops, and wrapped tshirts in tie dye shirts (I dyed them later and ironed on a transfer with the party date on it...).
The goody bags were from the Dollar Store and were vinyl shower totes with a toothbrush, really cool looking hairbrush, and a picture frame which I filled w/a picture from the restaurant.
I had made a tshirt shaped cake which DD decorated with gel to look tie dyed.
HTH
Looks like you are ready to party.
I'll be right over. LOL Have a nice weekend. Plan on having a couple of cocktails myself. It has been a long week.
Yes, let daughter go to the party.

adoption party
Congratulations! It'll be a grand celebration! Not many folks out there like you. Give me some particulars...
What is her name...her favorite color...favorite snack...is she allergic to chocolate...is she a princess or a tomboy?...Does she like art, music or dance....maybe baseball, or basketball, hockey?...So many factors to consider. School's already in by you...How many kids and adults will be in attendance?

adoption party
I have a 7-year-old daughter and she is into Hannah Montana and tea parties. We had a tea party this year on her actual birthday (we had a "big" party at the movie theater, thus the lack of funds! I made chocolate edible tea cups (Google it, it's easier than it sounds) day before. Have thinly-sliced ham and cheese croissants (or just cut the crust off of white bread) top them with a toothpick and grape. Slice strawberries and fan them around carefully placed mandaring oranges and pineapples(out of the can). Serve the tea cups about 10 minutes after they leave the table. Invite some girls that you know she will be going to school with, this will help her become familiar with them. Have dress up items or barbies out. Board games have been popular for us, or swing sets and outdoor play. Ask the other mothers for guidance here. You can find lots of other simple ideas at birthdaypartyideas.com. Love the site and use it all the time. Good luck. It sounds like you are already on the right track.
Adoption Party
If it is hot still where you live, why not have an ice cream sundae party. We have done this for the kids a couple of ways. Once we got parfait cups from the DQ- they were happy to donate some, and bought ice cream and different toppings and sprinkles along with some fruit. Another time, with a group of boys after school we used a piece of gutter (new) about 6 feet long and let the boys make a huge banana split with all the fixings and Reddi Whip in the can. They loved making the huge dessert and it was a lot of fun for all. Just an idea.
party food
Ever had Apple/Cinnamon pizza? 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls, 1 can 21 oz apple pie filling, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tblsp. melted butter. Spread c. roll dough on either baking stone, pizza pan, etc. make sure it is really together with no holes in it. bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. In the meantime, melt butter and mix butter, brown sugar with apple filling. take dough from oven, spread with filling, bake another 8 minutes. Let cool. Put icing from can of rolls in microwave for a few seconds to thin out a little. When pizza is cool, drizzle icing over top. This can be made with peaches, too. I always get rave reviews with it. Have fun!
first grade party
Last year when my little girl was in first grade, they had a Teddy Bear tea party for the holidays. Each child could make an ornament or buy one to exchange as a gift. They could wear pj's and bring a teddy bear. Parents were invited. A sign up list for goodies was included. The teacher read stories, and they played music with musical chairs and pin the tail on the elf, I think. They had a lot of fun. The theme was nice too for the little ones, does not matter boy or girl they all like tea parties at that age. For my little boy in first grade, I just sent in cupcakes. I went to the dollar store and got them each a gift which the teacher wrapped and they took turns taking from a bag. Santa (her husband)made a surprise appearance, and once again she read stories to them while they had punch and cupcakes. The other teacher who shared the classroom gave out polar express tickets for the kids to hold at the party and later to take home. It was very cute and fun. Whatever you do have a great time. Happy Holidays
Party tonight...
Other than being well hydrated and snacking, any other suggestions to stave off a hangover in the morning....just in case I might have 1 too many Fuzzy Navels?
It's my first NYE party in ages...I'm so excited!!! 
Over the Hill Party sm
You can have a big bash with old friends from school, stating no gifts, and just have refreshments and put on a favorite football game.You could have a team theme. There are plenty of "over the hill" items around. A few friends or just the family, you can buy napkins, plates, etc., at a party store. Depends on his personality, Spencer Gifts is great for small stuff, but be careful, some of it is adults only. If money is tight, you could do a "Dollar Store Only" gift party which would apply to him. My husband has a terrific sense of humor, so it was easy. He likes to cook, so I bought him a paper chef's hat at a party store and a big frying pan and some oven mitts. I asked others just to bring funny over-the-hill cards only, no gifts. There are tons of possibilities, it depends on his personality. I happen to have one that loves funny gifts and feels embarrased if anyone gives him money or gifts. If he isn't that type, then something more sedate would be in order. The main thing - have fun! If your transcription money is just rolling in - a big TV to watch the game or his favorite show. (That's a joke.)
slumber party!!!
Peers are usually pretty good in helping in the make-up category. That way, they all look bad togheter and they're still cool!! LOL
I'm not sure how to say this, but this is not a really huge issue. It's just one superficial way preteens/teens start their quest toward independence and getting to know themselves.
While makeup can be an outward reflection of who she is, her personality and moral character are better indicators. The make-up thing will even out in the long run.
My daugher went through the glitter, the goth, and about every other phase I can think of and she's in college now, well-adjusted, making awesome grades and puts on foundation if she remembers LOL.
So, back to my subject line... have a slumber party or a make-up party and see what happens! :-)
swim party...sm
Make sure you're dressed to dive in and rescue...(The lifeguard was busy chatting up a young lady and I got in before he did)....One of the kids told a fib and said he could swim, jumped in the deep end of the pool. This happened way back/years ago at my son's pool party in February.
It would also be good if at least a couple of the parents stay there to help you...not just stop, drop and roll and leave you all alone with 30+ kids. Safety first around water!
Credentials? I'm a seahag, grew up swimming in the ocean and my sons could swim like dolphins by the age of 2.  Cat
yea - they were the party parents -
acted like they were their age and had all their friends for parties with plenty of booze - I'm no prude but that kind of rubbed me wrong. I simply don't have the money to spend on things like that. DD seems to forget all the things I paid for - I even wrote checks on charge accounts so she could have a car in high school. Now I'm paying!
By the way - did you make it through the storms okay? - I was without power for 29 hours!
Are you planning the party for the day your son
If not, then wait for the wedding date, and then decide on the graduation party. Believe me, I know where you're coming from.
So don't let her ruin his party!
Doesn't your son have enough guy friends to have a fun party? There will be plenty of time later on for dating. He's only 16, for crying out loud. He should be focusing on education anyway. Girls are just a distraction.

Teed off party
Crankybeach, I googled teed off party and didn't seem much. Is there a formal web site for this? Thanks!
2nd grade valentine party.... sm
does anyone out there have some game ideas for a 2nd grade valentine's day party? i've tried looking some stuff up on the internet, but not having much luck. wondered if anyone out there has some good ideas.
TIA
If I had to ask attorney, I would change the party
when you have to go to such extremes just to have a birthday party for a child, I would not give 1 or have 1 away from a pool where a kid could get hurt or drown. Makes no sense to have to jump through hoops just to give a darn party.
I won the centerpiece at a Christmas party -
it was a cute little miniature (live... or well, at least it WAS live....) Christmas tree with all the decorations on it, even little twinkly lights. Unfortunately, while I was talking to this guy that I hadn't seen in ages, and didn't want to ignore, the centerpiece caught on FIRE. I didn't want to be impolite, & kept talking to my friend, yet continuing to watch my prize go up in flames out of the corner of my eye. (I have no idea why he didn't notice this!) Finally the fire became pretty big, and I had to do something so took my water glass & threw the water on the tree. (A dumb thing to do since it was still plugged in!) But the fire had shorted out the cord, so luckily no one was electrocuted. But my poor tree was toast! I still ended up taking it home - about 1/3 green and 2/3 black, crispy critter.
