not OP but protein I would think...
sweetbreads, for example, very popular in the south and also in places like Argentina...they are neither sweet nor are they bread...they are organ meats....like liver or the heart, etc.....
to all posters - many cultures do indulge in lots of different ways/foods.....so I wouldn't be so quick to judge..until you find out first-hand by trying/tasting/indulging...
Have a great holiday in whichever way you choose to indulge and cook!! 
You definitely have to return the item first before
you'll ever get a refund. Same thing as buying at a dept store. You're not gonna walk in and say you're unhappy with something, but you left it at home, etc. Also its always policy to pay for your own return shipping. One of the risks of buying anything on line anywhere really. Just the way it goes. I used to be a huge buyer on E-bay but don't even visit the place anymore due to the garbage I started receiving. My husband still sells now and again, but its just a different market - lot of garbage buyers and sellers. Sorry for your experience. It happens all the time. You still might end up with nothing, but if you paid via Paypal, and you returned the item and have PROOF (you need delivery confirmation or signed insurance depending on the coat's value) you have a good chance of having them get the $ for you. If you paid via charge card, call your company and have them put a stop payment or chargeback on it. Good luck.
There is an item that has been advertising--sm
on TV for a couple of weeks now that is an epoxy type of material, which is supposed to bond everything. They show it forming a chain link and towing a huge semi. I cannot remember the name of it, but it is green, in tubes, and when you take it out, you squeeze it until it turns white, and then apply it. Perhaps someone else might remember the name of it.
Also, if there is a really popular item you want...sm
you could map out the store. Saw this on the news once where a lady and her husband drew out a map and each aimed for a specific department/item. It was pretty comical, but efficient when you think about it. As for opening times, the ads will let you know. Anyway, good luck!
$500-700 -- depends on what the big ticket item is! - nm

Whatever sale item is most important to you
start there...early. Sale ads from Wednesday night's or Thursday morning's newspapers should tell you the store hours and sale hours. Many end at 11am. My dd and I like to go about an hour after stores open, though it's still dark outside. The crowds that were waiting in line overnight for the big ticket items are gone by then, and most everyone else avoids the stores until the afternoon hours, thinking they will be less crowded. Wrong they are though. There are more employees on duty early rather than later, so things move more quickly in the morning hours. We've also found the earlier crowds to be friendlier. DD starts singing Christmas carols while standing in line and soon lots of others join in. She's a blast to shop with. Then we go to a late breakfast and go home before the unfriendly crowds show up. Hope your experience is an enjoyable one.
We let everyone pick one menu item
for Thanksgiving dinner. No one cares much for turkey, so we are having ham, sweet potatoes, mac & cheese, green beans, corn, homemade rolls, asparagus, bruschetta, pumpkin pie, cheesecake, and Rice Krispy treats.
It is not terribly traditional, but everyone always has something they will eat,and the kids have fun making their choices.
One year the kids picked lasagna,grilled cheese sandwiches, shrimp cocktail, Pizza Rolls, and Pop Tarts. It was interesting and fun. It also alleviates some of the stress of trying to create the "perfect" Thanksgiving dinner.
most requested item from my pantry
Don't forget the sweet things tend to be the favorites when everyone is freaking out. We skipped the valentines day thing this year and made a massive pink cake that everyone made together and ate instead of spending tons of money on cards and candy.
Go to eBay help and type in item not received
it will then give you an option to file a claim.
alternative forms of protein
Don't make meat the centerpiece of your meals. Legumes & grains can be combined to make complete proteins. It's healthier & MUCH cheaper. Buy a great vegetarian cookbook, like Moosewood by Mollie Katzen.
I make my own nonfat yogurt 2 gallons at a time, then strain it. I use the whey as a buttermilk substitute to make my own bread. Sounds time-consuming, but it's really not. It's simple & can mostly be done while I'm working. Cost: yogurt about 3 dollars a gallon, bread (more nutritious than anything you can buy) about 35 cents a loaf.

I get blocks of cheese at Costco, cut it into smaller chunks & freeze some of it. This makes it kind of crumbly but it still melts fine & can be used in recipes.
Just curious...do you go shopping on Thanksgiving? Even for that one item you forgot?...sm
I do not work by choice....I made the choice to work for a service that is closed on those days...but if I CHOSE to work for a company that worked those days, then I would do what I was being paid to do. We are not the only business where you chose to work for a company that requires this. I do not think that people who work at Wal-Mart or K-Mart do so by choice, but because they have to.
protein-filled snacks/foods.....
Protein shakes and lots of water, also -sm
eat a salad w/o a lot of dressing or extra stuff, keep it simple, lettuce, tomato, cucumber (if you like them), small amount of fat-free or low-fat dressing to give it some taste. I am biting the bullet today and starting my diet for good today, check out www.liquiddietdiscussion.com - good support board for a mostly liquid diet though. So if you still have a lot to lose check it out. I will have 5 shakes a day, salad, protein bar, and a reg. dinner, and soup througout the day so I will "eat" 6 x a day. I have dieted like this before (nutrisystems years ago) and the key is eating every 2-3 hours, plus drinking lots of water. Granted this diet I am doing is a bit extreme but there are worse one out there with a lot less calories. This one is about 1100 a day. But I have 70-80 pounds to lose and health-wise it is time for extreme measures before I get DM or joint problems, already have back problems and have had 1 gout attack (nasty), not on meds and want to keep it that way!
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.
I was on a high protein, low carb diet some years ago and
actually felt great. I lost 27 pounds and looked better than I had in many years. I keep wanting to discipline myself enough to do that again. As far as low carb, I cut out almost all breads, cereal, pasta, etc., but ate fruit (which I think is high in carbs) and ate a lot of nuts. I really felt very good and my self esteem was so much better than now. Good luck to you!
Judy is right..... high protein, low carb foods

Deviled eggs!!! Nice and mushy, full of protein! MMmmmm nm

I'd love to see the recipe! Choc, PB - got protein and good carbs! Plus antioxidants! nm

exactly! and the main reason why a certain--sm
someone does not want the war to end yet...too much money in it for him. blah!
I think the main idea
was to provide a separate area so that they would not be using the sinks. Would you rather have that?
And with the appalling handling of our taxpayers' money in Iraq not to mention pretty much everywhere else, are you really going to focus on footh baths? And how do you figure foot baths are at the expense of our country's safety???
And btw, people ARE allowed to put up nativity scenes at Christmas, as long as other faiths are represented too.
I am wondering if it is just that this is a Muslim thing that is bugging you or is it all faiths? If this was something to do with the Christian faith I wonder if anyone would even notice it.
She put up an ad on the Main Board, too.
the main actress
was dating marilyn manson. I think the role rubbed off on her.
I just saw it on the main board. Maybe it was moved.

One of the main doctors I work for
goes into a lot of detail about the patient's complaint and even what they think might be wrong wtih them. He also mentions personal things like if going to college, recently had a death in the family, etc. Hopefully you have typed a few of those and you can tell her that some doctors really do listen. Good Luck!
This 1st posted on Main Board & OP said she did

don't let money be the main factor
If you think you will like the job and the people you will be working with, take it and don't worry about the money, and if you're not ready to move, hold off for something else.
Read all of this and it seems your main concern
here is at the very end, how do working parents deal with this, not about anything else much. You are in the dark about how parents (myself included) for years past dealt with children when the parents (myself included) worked outside the home. Talk about a mind blower, huh? We had either daycare, babysitters, some had grandparents who watched the children, other family members helped out some. Seems to me your concern is childcare mostly.
And the main word in your sentence is
mainly - as pets mainly on leashes- sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. Do your neighbors keep pitbulls also?
Like him too, he is the main reason I got Sirius radio....
my husband doesn't like him, but does not have to listen. I too like the fact that he is not PC, and when he has on something I don't like, I change the station, that simple.

Just now happened to me. I posted on the main board about it.
I have Norton AV and it called it a "browser exploit" and said the security risk was high. I have not had this happen before and I would like to know why it is happening now. It bothers me that this site is under new owners and all of sudden my AV software is detecing security risks when it never did before.
This post will probably be deleted now, but I need to know what is going on. My PC just crashed a couple of weeks ago due to some corrupted files. My PC guy, was able to salvage some of my files, but I lost almost everything! I want to know if that has anything to do with this!

My main problem with calamari, besides knowing it's
some ocean creepy-crawly like squid or octopus, is that it has the consistency of rubber. Yuck!

COMPUTER HELP!!! I think I somehow deleted my main user acct
Can anyone help me? My kids got me to set up user accts for them last night. I did. I had an administrator acct. It said I had to make one the administrator acct so I made one with my name on it. Then tonight I logged out of mine to switch users, thinking I could just log back in, but now it is gone!! All gone. I have a very basic user acct with my name on it but none of my files, none of my work software, my e-mail isn't even set up. Where is it all?? Is it gone forever??
It's been on the radio. Apparently the main source is TMZ, nothing official yet. nm

On the main Craigslist page, look at the upper left-hand - sm
side of the page under the word "Craigslist". It should say "Post to Classifieds". Click on that, and it will take you to a "Create Posting" page. Click on the type of posting you want, and it'll take you to a category list. Click on your choice, and the next page asks you to pick your city. After that, you're asked which local area(s) fit best. You will finall be at the space where you fill in the ad itself.
Hope that helped! I've given away furniture & an old PC on Craigslist...I LOVE Craigslist!
Someone on main board I think, recommended angel food network, which (sm)
I have been familiar with in the past. You might want to check that out as a way to save a lot of money on your food bill.
Post from main board ie Michael Moore movie Sicko
I have NO desire to see this movie, and I believe that it is just perpetuating and promoting what is going on in this county -- I recently suffered a broken leg and went to THE "county hospital, i.e., Jackson Memorial, in Miami/Dade County -- the ONLY reason that I even went there was because of the fact that my significant other did not understand that with my insurance through CHAMPUS that I could be seen at any or all hospitals in the Miami area -- as a side note, the ONLY time that I have been "turned down" is at a Kaiser facility as far as being seen as a CHAMPUS patient.
CHAMPUS is the major insurance carrier that serves our military and their familes once the service member is honorably discharged, retires from active duty or dies in active combat or retired.
What I endured at Jackson was little short of HORRENDOUS and I believe that if any of us were to be seen at a major medical facility, we would soon find this out.
Jackson Memorial is 1500 beds -- I was initially seen in their "Extreme Care" section -- I got there at 11:30 a.m. and was finally out of there at 11:30 p.m. In the meantime, I walked down to their radiology department because the ignoramous P.A. did not put me in a wheelchair or crutches after I told him that the ankle area had been bruised for a week even after I wrapped it, Epsom salts, ice packs etc -- guess their attitude was "oh well" -- sure enough, it was a fracture -- they lost my records and with my second appointment it was from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to be seen in their "Trauma Clinic" -- no docs, just residents,but tell you what, if you are of Hispanic descent, or poor -- BOY do you get preferential treatment -- needless to say, I am still in pain, with swelling, can't wear a shoe after the cast being off a week, and cannot get results -- I called the ER a bit ago and told them that I was going to be seen at a real hospital and that they could take their treatment and stick it
Bottom line is that patient care has TRULY gone down the toilet, whether it be a nurse, doctor or ANY kind of healthcare professional.
