There seemed to be something weird there, but can't figure out whose eggs they might be, if that is what was even implied.

Exactly! What are you questioning?
Just donated to Locks of Love
This may sound silly, but on my "bucket list" for many years was: "Donate my hair to Locks of Love". I never grew it long enough, and when I got to be about 43 I started finding gray hairs. Knowing that they don't want treated hair, I decided to grow my hair long before it turned gray. It's taken me three years, but today I had a 12-inch pony tail cut off, and it's being sent to Locks of Love. Hooray! And I really hated my hair long, too. It's soooo nice not to have it scratching my neck, and I have a wonderful kicky new hairstyle!
My mom donated her body to science - sm
so we had nothing. She did not want us to do anything. We did mail a note to all my parents friends, etc. letting them know she had died, etc. but that was the extent of it. I said "goodbye" to my mom in the hospital morgue. They gave me a very hard time about it and did not want to let me but I insisted, explaining we were not having a funeral, etc. Took them an hour to arrange it once they finally agreed to let me see her. My brother and dad went with me, though I would have rather been alone. My dad already said his goodbyes in the room as did my brother. I drove up 4 hours so I could that night. My other brother did not make it though. His wife I think is the only one that has had a problem with the fact that there was no funeral or memorial service. We all just took things from the house that reminded us of mom and I think that helped. I have my mom's old recliner and I sit in it sometimes and talk to her. Plus when we get together we openly talk about mom and past events, etc., even my dad does despite his re-marriage and I know he is very happy in his marriage. But all in all we have all been fine with it, I think it helps to know my mom hated funerals, was not that religious, and we honored her wishes.
As you said, you are grown as is he. Let it be. Is he questioning her sm
or her motives? It is not your place at all to say anything to your father about his impending wedding, honeymoon, etc. Now, if she was taking his money, squandering, etc., and not marrying him then that's another story. She obviously loves him and he loves her, so wish them well, be sweet and happy for him and move on with your own life.
I can sense your bitterness and you need to cut that out of your life. It's counter productive to be bitter and resentful. And, the Bible says it clearly: Bitterness rots your bones.
Yeah my 10-y/o is questioning it - sm
I feel bad for deceiving her and hope she fares well when she finds out the truth. She only still believes because many of her friends still do and my 8/y-o swears she saw Santa at my parents house 4 years ago. I showed then Norad last year, they thought that was pretty cool. But when the time comes I will try to explain it the best I can and hope they are not too upset with me.
Donated blood today, as I have done many times before. sm
Today, however, while sitting in the cantina having a snack afterwards I felt so TIRED and short of breath. We left and went to the grocery store and by the time I got into the store I thought I was going to pass out, gave my daughter the list and went back to sit in the car. What gives? I have donated blood before and haven't felt bad afterwards. Now I am working and GOD I feel like crap.
You answered your own post by questioning me
you said your children tell you everything. You at the same time said your 18 year old son had sex at 17 and told you about it the other day, meaning he had sex, what a year ago and he is now telling you, irregardless of whether he felt bad about it or liked it. It is good that you take the thought that your children tell you everything. I see many disillusioned parents who thought the same way as you do.
All the questioning and answering in the world
cannot stop these idiotic people out here now. How pray tell, if you have all kinds of notices on your medical records stamped in RED BIG letters and you have an allergy wrist band on, do you still COME OUT OF SURGERY WEARING WHAT YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO??? Idio....ts
Anyone know organizations where people can apply for donated cars? (sm)
I am trying to help a family that is in desperate need of a vehicle so that the dad can keep his job and take care of his family. They live far enough out that there are no buses and no one to carpool with. I know there are organizations who can help. Can anyone direct me? Thank you so much in advance.
Very low-tech fix
I take a soft beach towel and fold it until it is the height and length of the keyboard. Then I place it on desk in front of the keyboard. It supports my wrists and forearms and is nice and soft and cushy. When it flattens, I just throw it in the washer and it is good to go.
VA tech shooting
OMG who absolutely awful. God help those poor families in their grief. So far 22 dead and 21 wounded as well as the gunman. What on earth possesses people to do atrocities like this? I just cannot fathom the effect this will have on the families. And to think I have a son going away to college in the fall...... 
Mr. Tech Support
Way too funny! You can bring your guns to my house any time. LOL
Surgical tech. That's what I want to be.
I really don't want to be a nurse. I am going to check into it tomorrow. My son, who is graduating from high school next month and will be attending the same college, said that no, he would not be horribly embarrassed to have his mother at the same school at the same time as him!
TS = Tech Support said in one of his
posts:
'Ignore them and they will go away.'
So, you see, Ella, this is not a brain child of 'Anudder'.
Where do you work that you can't get tech or sup help at 11 a.m.?

I asked the lab tech how long
and she said 2-3 days, so I guess not frozen?
Tech question spyware
My husband uses something to spy on our kids when they are online. He can log in to his computer either on his lap top or at work and then follow their conversations if they are talking on messenger or writing emails. He said he can even manipulate the cursor so it messes with them. He thinks it's funny.
It makes me wonder now if he is doing the same thing to me because I notice my cursor go crazy occasionally when I'm working. How can I tell if he has it on mine?
I already asked him point blank if he was doing it to me and he denied it of course but I don't believe him.
Tech/video question
I have been trying to open a video of a speech my nephew gave and cannot get my computer to open it. It asks what program to open it with (or if want to do a Internet search), and I have tried both. The Internet thing didn't come up with anything I found useful, and my own computer only has Windows Media Player, which did not work.
My sister says it works on hers ... it does not even ask what to open; simply opens and plays. She cannot tell what program it is using.
The file says it's a MP-4 auto file if that helps.
Thanks for any help you can give me. 
Dear Scrub Tech
Please stop crashing and clanging those heavy metal dishes and instruments while the surgeon is dictating the operative report. How the heck am I supposed to understand a word he/she is saying when there is a huge crash every few minutes during critical portions of the report?
Letter to Tech Support...sm
Thought I would share this exchange with Tech Support:
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the Flower and Jewelry application, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NASCAR 6.0, NFL 5.1 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed, Desperate
DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please go to the Web page "ithoughtyoulovedme.html" and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update while you're at it.
If those applications work as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default toGrumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0, which runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. This will cause Husband 1.0 to crash.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great operating system, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good luck!
Am considering installing a Pebble Tech floor.
I wonder if Pebble Tech is the right choice. One adult, four animals, 1400 sq. foot. What I am concerned about is being able to keep it clean and how comfortable they are to walk on with bare feet. Cost is fairly reasonable when compared to tile and the look I like (the beach!).
Anyone have experience with this type of flooring? Will it make my home look like a business rather than a home? Is keeping it clean a hassle?
Thank you much!
Horrible tragedy at Virginia Tech
In Blacksburg, VA. Someone went on a shooting rampage and he and at least 20 others are confirmed dead. My son is in high school but was there today on a field trip. He and his class were walking on campus when a professor took them to a safe room in the basement of a building. My son used his cell (wasn't supposed to have it with him but thank goodness he did) to call my hubby, and he came home from work to tell me. I of course went all to pieces but am a little better now. Just can't imagine what the parents of the other students are going through. They are now allowed to leave as soon as the can find the bus and bus driver. He was sent to another part of the campus. Just needed to talk about this a little. Thanks for listening.
I live 20 minutes from VA Tech. This is so tragic. My son is a ......sm
junior but he goes to Roanoke College and still lives at home. I called him because I wonder if some classmates he graduated with were involved in today's tragedy. I feel sick inside. We take way too much for granted.
gift ideas for high tech men who have everything
Since you all have great volunteering ideas, I thought I'd pick your brains about what to give high tech men who have everything for Christmas.
Things not to say to people!! Ultrasound tech said (sm)
After doing my ultrasound for an ovarian cyst she says as I am getting up, "are you still having your cycles?" Thanks. I'm 40.
All I can pinpoint is that my son smokes and maybe a vet/tech smoked??? nm

Tech gifts that aren't compatible w/ your computerr
 We had THREE gifts yesterday that would not work with our computer - one of them being a simple MP3 player. Spent all afternoon yesterday trying to get these things to work, downloading patches, trying every trick we knew. Now we have to try to return these already opened electronic gifts and see if they will take them back! Two of them were for my ten-year-old son who was very sweet about it, but obviously disappointed. I see on Yahoo some of the top stories today are "how to return tech gifts". Arrrggh!!
As a prior vet tech and diabetic, I wouldnt touch this

ROFL, hey Tech, still got knots on your head, bet she did scream at you...sm
but not in a good way. Your humor makes me laugh! Hope your wife didn't stay mad long. Another good mark for you, at least you didn't lie or omit that you're married. Hey use some of that money you saved from the butler and buy your wife some flowers to replace that frying pan she's chasing you around with 
Keep up the great jokes though, you make this board what it's supposed to be, fun!
Eggs
I would assume you can freeze fried eggs. I saw a box of eggs (like you would get on a frozen breakfast sandwich) at Wal-Mart in the freezer, so I guess they freeze and microwave fairly well. Those frozen bfast sandwiches have eggs on them don't they?
Could be Brooke's eggs - (sm)
I was thinking that, but when would she have given them? Also Bridget involved?? -h-m-m-m food for thought. Yes, watch Y&R (don't think Nick is dead either - I read he just signed a new 5-year contract). I agree, nothing wrong with having a little daytime fantasy in our lives - LOL
do you care where your eggs come from?
Does it matter to you whether your eggs came from a cage-free environment, or a caged one?
finches and eggs
You are having a time of it, aren't you!
This is not an uncommon problem. Many birds lay eggs anywhere and everywhere and don't sit until the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or more clutch has been laid. Breeders use those birds just to get the eggs and then put the eggs under another female who is sitting and she becomes the surrogate mother. What they do is put a hole in the bottom of the nest so that when the eggs are laid they fall down the hole to the pan where the breeder can get them before they are consumed and/or broken by the parents. Cool, huh? I had a pair of Quakers who were fantastic layers but ate every darn egg before I could get to them. I know that's not what you want to do, but this is how the pros handle bad sitters. Or they use an incubator which automatically turns the eggs every couple of hours if the hen won't sit.
Some birds eat the eggs out of boredom. Some eat them because they are craving calcium. Do you have cuttlebone in the cage? Is it within easy reach? Make sure it is. If they are not using it, you may need to add a calcium supplementation to the female's food or she could become egg-bound trying to lay (egg gets stuck in the vent and bird dies.) Consult your vet if she is not using the cuttlebone, as too much calcium is a really bad thing. Watch the male for the culprit as well. He may be low on calcium but since she is the layer you have to be especially careful of this when she is laying. You have to know the proper dosage to add to her food and don't let the male eat the extra calcium if he doesn't need it because you don't want to overload his system. If they are both eating the cuttlebone well, that is a good sign.
If she starts to sit and you don't want the babies, remember to substitute another WARM (in your hands warm) item such as a small marble or a bead that resembles the egg so that she will sit for her 28 or so days while her body recovers from laying or else she will continue to lay and lay until she is dead. They all need a period of rest between laying. Check out bird supply sites on the Internet for fake eggs.
If it gets to be too chronic, remove the male from the female to keep her from laying, at least while she builds her strength back up.
My bet is a calcium deficiency perhaps in both birds because either one or both are not just playing with them/breaking them but eating them as well. Don't add a calcium supplement without checking with your vet first. You have to get the correct diagnosis and then the correct dosage. He/she can feel the birds bones and do an assessment, etc. Find someone who really knows exotics.
Be sure their diet consists of more than seeds. Get them to eat some pelleted food. The best is Harrison's I was once told but do whatever works. Seed alone leads to malnutrition. This goes for all birds of whatever type. Also green veggies like Romaine which has calcium and they can drag a small piece around and play with it as they munch on it. Small as in thumbnail size at a time. My finches got carrot strips, broccoli florets, celery leaves, peas, etc. as toys to play with. They had a ball and it was all natural.
Best of luck!
Oh, never! Not when we have EGGS to read about.

frozen eggs
You can buy frozen egg/biscuit sandwiches in the frozen section of the grocery store (think Jimmy Dean brand)which you can then microwave, so I would assume you could make your own. The worst that could happen is do a trial run of 1 and see how it turns out. Great idea for the kids, not to mention cheaper if you make them yourself. Never thought of it, but may try it for myself! I make my own mini-TV dinners out of leftovers and freeze them and then microwave them which is another good idea in my mind.
frozen eggs
You can freeze eggs but they tend to get a little rubbery. Scambled eggs are better to freeze than fried eggs though, don't get rubbery. And eggs you cook yourself and freeze are different than the eggs you get on breakfast sandiwches you buy at the store in the freezer section. Good luck. Just thought I would share this with you. My husband is a chef, went to culinary school and all.
Umm... what's that got to do with the price of eggs?
That was a pretty off-subject, incoherent rant.
honey and eggs
If you really want a side business, keep chickens or bees. People like to buy organic food.
boiled eggs
Once I mentioned I liked boiled eggs. Everyone was so mad at me, there were 36 sitting in the middle of the table at dinner! Eat up!
deviled eggs
My eggs peel easily when I take them from the stovetop, pour off the hot water and then cover immediately with cold water and ice to cool. This works for me.
Finches laying eggs
I posted about this about a week or two ago and got some wonderful advice. We put a nest and nesting material in the cage but they never used the material. Roxie layed her third egg (I disposed of the first 2 when we first saw them) last night on the bottom of the cage. She wouldn't sit on it. We thought we would wait to see what happened and within a few hours the egg was gone with no sign of any eggshell or anything. This afternoon found another egg, this time in the nest all by itself. Mother still not interested in sitting it seems. Okay, I typed about 10 charts and when I checked again the egg was completely gone. Should I take the eggs out or leave them to be devoured? I really don't want babies but am not sure how to proceed. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks. BTW, I am leaving early tomorrow morning and won't be back until late late Tuesday night so if anyone responds tomorrow I won't see it until Wednesday.

Can you freeze fried eggs? - sm
I thought I might freeze breakfast sandwiches for my son so he can have a quick breakfast before work - you know, bagel, egg, bacon and cheese. Anybody know if eggs freeze and the microwave well? Thanks!
Not real eggs, just a design.

omelettes. eggs are economical protein
We like to have an omelette buffet about twice per month. We prepare all the family's favorite add-ins (diced ham, cooked potato, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, etc) and everyone chooses their own. Put 2 eggs in a quart-sized ziploc bag, seal the bag and simply squish the eggs by hand, then add your favorite ingredients. Remove as much of the air as you can, seal, and place all the bags in a large pot of boiling water for about 10 minutes (so as to not get each person's confused, you can write names on the bags with permanent marker). We add cheese after they're done, which the omelettes will slide right out of the bag. We just serve hot fresh biscuits and sliced navel oranges at the table to complete the meal. Everyone enjoys having their omelette their way and they're all done at the same time so no one's omelette gets cold. It only costs about $1 per person.
You guys must be as bored as I am to be reading about eggs! nm

I do miss the hiding and hunting for eggs
since my children are a little old for that. We hid eggs in neighbors yards (the ones will small children) when we knew they weren't home. We put candy and coins in all the eggs. One of the houses has a big sign on their front door that says "Thanks Easter Bunny". We were only able to watch one little boy look for eggs, but it was so worth it. Happy Easter to all!
i get eggs in the carton, Egg Beaters or egg whites
