In Reply to: How many hershey's kisses fit into a priority flat rate mail box? sm - MQer
Go get one and fill it up, count them and then give away all the chocolate. Or you could be cheap about it, go into Wal-Mart or wherever with the PM box, fill it up with the bags of Kisses and see how many bags fit, and figure it out using the servings per bag, adding a little extra of course since your test run was in bags. Good luck.

Quick and easy...tastes delicious, but
Start by boiling one box of Santa Maria pasta--or any kind that looks like a large piece of rice. Drain. Put in a large bowl and add one to two large cans of chicken. Drain some of the juice off of the chicken, but leave some also for the chiken salad. I usually drain the chicken and then use a fork to cut up the pieces in the can and that usually produces more juice and than I add it to the pasta. Next add one jar of Marzetti slaw dressing and 1/2 cup of Mayo. Mix well. This mixutre will look like a giant bowl of soup at this point. Cover and put in the frige over night, or if making in the morning put in frige for entire day until dinnertime. Take out of the frige and mix well. It will now be thick like chicken salad is supposed to be! At this point I usually add some almond slivers and serve on croissants or other yummy breads. I know this sounds really wierd, but it tastes wonderful and is so easy to make.
Easy! I grew up on quick tomato sauces.
It's very simple, and I do it without a recipe. I do my "light" sauce without meat in a very large pan, but you can do it in a medium to large pot.
I heat the pan over medium heat, I put several "glugs" of olive oil, probably a little less than a quarter cup. Toss in a clove of finely diced garlic (or more if you like), and about a half of a large onion finely diced. Saute for just a bit on medium heat to get everything softened and translucent, but not browned. Toss in tomatoes, either 4-6 cups of diced peeled and seeded fresh tomatoes, or one large can of crushed tomatoes. Add two or three leaves of chopped fresh basil, or about a tablespoon of dried basil. Let it all simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes (longer if using fresh tomatoes), and that's the very basic tomato sauce. I add salt to taste only at the end after it's reduced a bit. You can cook it longer if you like it thicker.
I vary it based on what how I'm using it. I sometimes add mushrooms or peppers, or a little hot pepper flakes to spice it up. If I'm using it with meat, I also add a little wine. Occasionally, the tomatoes might be just a little on the acid side, and then I'll throw in a pinch or two of sugar to cut that.
I don't use much sauce on my pasta or on meat, just a little bit to coat it and a bit more to top it to make it pretty. My grandmother and all of our Italian neighbors used these sauces pretty sparingly by American standards. I think in this country, we tend to really slather on the spaghetti sauce, so this recipe may not make as much as you want. If you want more, you can easily double or triple it.

Find a lawyer, find out where you would stand - sm
in the event of a divorce/separation, regarding custody, house, etc. Custody was my main concern as well since I lied on numerous occasions about the finances. Where I am I was told that would not factor in to the custody at all. I can prove that I am my kids caregiver 90% of the time, I ferry they around everywhere, help with homework, get ready for school, meet at busstop, etc. I could also point out my husband is an alcoholic, self treats his depression with alcohol instead of getting proper medical treatment, has threatend to kill himself (or me) numerous times (though he always says he was joking and did not mean it.....that is his standard answer to everything, or that he never said that). Now I do love him enough to deal with all that because deep down inside my DH is full of it, luckily for me, he has never followed through on anything he says he is going to do. But I thought my confession would be the straw that broke it all and send him over the edge. He still is angry with me, I am sure he will be for a long time, but is keeping it together pretty well, though he has said the stress was going to kill him, now he know how I felt I guess. I am sorry your husband is such a smuck. I feel like a dog sometimes with the sex demands, have to do it the night before he goes out of town....he will be traveling a lot for work for the next 3-4 months, which I am more than glad about, much calmer here then, though it gets tiring for me but as he is not really helping much right now it really won't be much of a change. As for yours going on 5 day weekends.....have you considered having him followed, sounds like there may be some infidelity afoot, and if so that would strengthen your case in the event of a divorce and custody I would think. Sounds a bit fishy going out until 1 a.m. and his frequent trips. My DH fishes too, but he goes 2 miles from here with one of our male neighbors, they shoot the breeze and he gets to unwind some which I encourage. Very rare weekends with a buddy of his, I am talking once every 2 years, which again is fine with me. Start keeping track of all you do, when he is home, where he supposedly goes, with whom, etc. He cannot show he will be a responsible dad if he is never there or never interacts with his own kids. My DH would probably suggest I take our older daughter and he the younger, spliting them up, he has the same perception, the oldest is mine, the youngest is his. Our younger daughter is much easier to deal with, our older daughter drives him nuts and she is only 10. My younger one (8) knows something has been going one though, and worries we will divorce, which she does not want. She is very perceptive for her years. I hope that if you do go the divorce route, which would actually probably be best in your situation, that it all works out for you and you get your fair share of assets, etc. Make sure before you do anything like that you have all your ducks in a row, so talk to divorce lawyer. I talked to one for 45 minutes, cost me $160 but was worth it to set my mind at ease. Good luck.
Quick!
Introduce this witch to a different guy with more cash before it is too late. See if she goes for it. If she doesn't, then I guess you are stuck with her. This seems to be extremely weird, considering their ages and since my husband is older than me at 65 I asked him wht he thought and he said he knows of no guys his age who would agree to this huge wedding thing at that age and wasting all that cash, it is like "Look at me, look at me." So, why does she need all this attention at her age? Something is wrong here, and I wish you well. Does your dad have a buddy he would listen to?
Wow that was quick! Thanks
so much Hayseed.
a quick suggestion
when i was a kid, i got a thrill out of stealing dumb stuff, pens, markers, etc. When my mom found out, she made me take my stuff back to the store and hand it back to the owner, and apologize. I was quaking in my shoes at that point. Don't know if that would help in your situation or not...
tell me quick what this says, don’t have the time
right now to read this. Biting my fingers because cannot read until after work at 8. Thanks
Quick note sm
I think he is incredible, yes, but he is a bit of a perfectionist and even loveingly complains when we don't keep the house "clean enough" or "yardwork needs to be done". I have always said he will either make a wonderful husband or drive his wife crazy. LOL!!!

Because Americans want a quick fix
>>I don't understand why people will take a med if its something that will run its course and your body will take care of.
They don't want to suffer with ANYTHING - illness or otherwise. It's all about instant gratification. Fix me now, with the least amount of effort on my part. A pill for weightloss, a pill for depression - suck out my fat. How many people take drugs for diabetes or high blood pressure or cholesterol - when diet and exercise would fix the problem? I understand that not everyone with those problems can be fixed without medication - but many, many could be.
we also make a quick
salmon soup....drain most the juice, add about 2 tbl of butter to the meat in the pan, salt, pepper, and then add a can or so of milk and heat. eat with saltines crushed in it too. lots of omegas, warm, quick and tasty.
Quick Wii question...sm
Okay, I've looked all over the boxes and i've even asked the guy at Best Buy who was obviously hasn't worked there long. Anyways, we got a Wii for my son for Christmas - once he takes it out of the box, can we just plug it in and play or do we need batteries for any of the remotes?? If so, what size and how many?? TIA
Don't be so quick to ignore it
I had something similar happen to me but it was a phone call. Would never have suspected it but it turned out to be true. It is much better to know than to be fooled. Check into it and you will find the truth. I found proof from the cell phone numbers. Very easy to find a pattern. Good luck. I truly hope it is just a prank. Not a fun thing to go through.
my quick question..
Why do you think it is okay for someone else to make decisions for this mother and her child. She is not refusing treatment, just seeking a different treatment. That is her right, not some judge. Whether we agree with her decision or not, it is still their decision. this is just one more govt intrusion into our personal lives. Any time the govt makes decisions for one, it is just another step closer to controlling us all. I would most definitely not turn this mom in.
Oh my you're quick!

Don't watch AI, but have a quick ? What's going on? Are you guys saying sm
that there are "false" voters out there? People voting for the worst as a joke or something? I've read all the posts about AI and it leaves one confused who isn't following the show. Just curious as to what is going on and why people are saying it's ruined. I don't know a thing about this Sanjaya guy (kinda glad I don't either!) from the looks of it.
I, for one, the romantic that I am, will be watching the new season of the Bachelor which started again Monday.

Not hashbrowns but a quick dessert
1 box angelfood cake mix
1 15 oz. can of crushed pineapple
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with a baking spray.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cake mix (only) with the can of crushed pineapples. Pour into baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes - until top is beginning to brown. Let cool, cut, enjoy. This is a weight-watchers recipe, I believe.
Thank you so much - some of us are quick to judge and offer
I really appreciate those who have give good advice and hope to help my DD. To those who suggested it was too late, 22 is just the beginning of life IMO, especially if you have been in college and the like. For reasons I do not care to go into, my DD could not work while going to school and so now that she has her own money, well you can figure it out!
PMS & extreme stressors - any quick fix?? (sm)
I always have bad PMS but this time I am also having some outside stressors that are causing me a lot of anxiety. I am trying to work but I am so unsettled I can barely concentrate. If I had time to make a doctor's appointment and get some valium or something I would - but does anyone know any natural remedies I can use for now??
Ok, give me a quick course in texting
My daughter has gone to Mexico and I get a text message from her. Ok, i am 1 of these older people and have never sent a text message in my life, took a long time just finding out how to read hers. Now folks, tell me how to send her one back. She would be AMAZED as she knows I do not know how to do this. I could say ladadedada. thanks?
First off, don't be so quick to get meds. You just sound like a sm
disorganized person who finds it hard to concentrate. It's called stress. I think too many people are running to the doc for a cure all/fix all, when all they really need is peace of mind and a less hectic schedule. It can be done. As far as the disorganization, start one room at a time. One closet. One cupboard, etc. I had to do this. I was told I was "crazy," which is worse than someone saying ADD. I don't think I'm crazy.
Prayer and church is the one thing that helped me tremendously having never been to church growing up. I'm not throwing religion in your face, but something has to be said about these miraculous changes I've been through since "finding God." He's helped me in every single area of my life including the "craziness, disorganization, beating myself up for wandering when I should be working."
I think the meds suppress the actual symptoms. I've had to deal with much deeper issues and insecurities in my life - always chasing things I shouldn't be chasing after.
Anyways, the kids need me so I better run! I just don't like people telling you that you need meds. I've NEVER taken a medication for anything mental-related. Never. And I have never been happier and more accepting of my life - disorganized or not! The freedom it gives you to accept yourself the way you are is priceless!! it really is.
I just did a very quick google search and...sm
several people said scrubbing nail polish remover worked for them (not for others). Unfortunately, you seem to have quite a mess to deal with. IF it does work, maybe you could get the girl to come back and help clean it up? A good chance to teach the girl that inappropriate behaviors bring consequences, a lesson she does not seem to be learning from her parents. Good luck with that carpet.
Just did a quick check on ebay
On the completed listings from June 27, there were 16,806 items up for sale (not all sold). Off the Wall and Thriller albums (combined) sold for $62. Thriller alone sold for $55.
On the active items, there are 41,102 items up for sale! Off the Wall and Thriller (combined) is up to $202. Each single item is selling for $60-$80. It's crazy. A lot of these items are owned privately, but those that have a business dealing with music, posters, etc. would have to pay a royalty on those items to the estate.
Oh, yeah, one crazy seller was trying to sell a 45 record for $300! No takers.
Need gift ideas quick for my sister-in-law!
She is a huge wine lover and drinks mostly red wine. I had ordered her a wine bottle cooler that cools the wine quickly, because I thought she drank white wine sometimes as well. I just found out from my brother that it is only rarely that she drinks white wine and that most of her friends drink red wine too so the wine bottle cooler may not come in handy for entertaining very often. The cooler is already en route to my house, so now I am trying to think of something else to get her. She is very connected with her Spanish heritage, and she has extremely good taste in home decorating. She has almost everything she needs already, but any ideas would be most appreciated! Thanks!
Oh, your poor thing. I hope your cat gets well quick!

Too many factors to give a quick answer
Is there verbal, emotional, or physical abuse in the marriage? Drug or alcohol abuse?
How mature is your son for his age? How emotionally stable is he?
sometimes people are too quick to diagnose this as the problem (sm)
Sometimes it is, but sometimes it is not. I would hate for anyone to have their child wrongly diagnosed!
It might be Benny Parsons from doing a quick search. nm

not a quick fix, but get some progesterone cream and use it daily; will help PMS in the long run. n

All this food had me wanting to share something quick for you for a spread. sm
A GREAT sandwich spread. I was at my local deli the other day and they were making ham and swiss sandwiches on whole grain with a sweet, perfectly tasting spread on it. I asked the lady behind the counter what that "spread" on the bread was and she said she just mixed honey mustard and mayo (equal amounts), stirred it up in a bowl, and spread it on the bread. I've been using that recipe all week. I immediately came home, made me a batch, stored it and now use it. My 5 year old son LOVES his sandwiches now. It's a different taste, a little sweet, and wonderful!
right; effective, quick, cheap method; have always believed this; always will

Just a quick question, if "public school is a joke"
why are you allowing your daughter to attend one?
dysphagia/dysphasia, quick memory tool
dysphagia = G for GUT. The food won't get to my GUT.
dysphasia = S for SPEECH. I can't schpeak when I'm schlurring my words, LOL.

Not easy....
I have been there and it's not an easy decision to make. I did get a second opinion and that really helped me make my final decision. In my case it was possible cancer of the uterus. When I thought about being a single mom and how much I wanted to see my daughter grow up and after getting the second opinion I had the surgery. Although it was difficult to go through at the time it was really freeing. No more times of the month, no more Kotex supplies, etc. I have never regretted the decision since! Get a second opinion, it's worth the time and effort!
I think it would be easy, too, IF I had someone to do all the
chopping and measuring for me!!! LOL!!!
Does anyone have an easy way to keep a
dog's teeth clean if they resist brushing? I am concerned about her. I tried to brush them a few times and only was successful for part of the lower teeth. I know that if bacteria gets into the blood stream they can really become dangerously sick and even die from this. How about some items that can be bought at pet chain stores? We should have started her out early to get used to it. Any advice would be so appreciated. 
easy way
First of all, there IS no easy way!!
My ex-SIL had gastric bypass right at about the time I started WW.
Just a little background: I was always thin until I started working at home. Then I blew up. Ex-SIL and BIL had not seen me until the weight gain, so it was somewhat of a shock.
Anyhow, we were in the process of embarking on our respective means of weight loss, and ex-BIL said to me, "At least you're doing it the hard way." I told him, without hesitation, that his wife was doing it the hard way. Dang!! She's the one getting cut open!!
I know it was his way of encouraging me because he's nice that way, but it bothers me that people think surgery and accepting the risks involved is easy in any way, shape, or form.
Man, I'm glad you can do the Tobasco. I don't think I would live without it LOL ;-)
Wish you the best!
very easy -
all I do when I cook salmon is add an egg and some flour and fry it up - don't add too much flour or it will be dry and taste flour, just enough so that it will stick together.
Here's an easy one
I find hor'dourves are always nice. Have them before and then if anyone stays after dinner you can pull them back out later or the next day for snacks.
Little smokie sausages, wrap each in 1/2 piece of bacon secured with a toothpick, and roll in brown sugar. Then bake in the oven until the bacon is done. They are really yummy and easy. line the cookie sheet with foil for easy cleanup cause the sugar can be messy.
My mom also used to take cream cheese and spread it on a platter, top with a layer of cocktail sauce, and then crab meat (real or imitation). Serve with crackers.
Rye bread is fantastic with dill dip. If you can find a round loaf of rye bread and hallow out the center and put the dip in the middle. Then the center part can be chopped up and placed around the outside for dipping. Later people can pull apart from the round "bowl" of bread to dip. Little to no clean up here.
My mom used to do hor'dourves instead of dinner and then just make a ham and rolls in case anyone didn't have dinner yet. I'll keep thinking. I'm sure I can remember a few more easy ones that everyone always seemed to love.
An easy gift would be
to just get her a gift card to the mall in your area at the service desk, and she could use it at any of the stores there in the mall.
If you want to get a gift, gift, do you know any of her interests?
