Upside-down marriage
Yesterday was my anniversary. Been married a looooooong time. I suggested sex, but was told my request wasn't as romantic as expected.
I wasn't asking for romance, just sex! What could be easier than that?? Did I marry a girl by mistake? He wouldn't make a pretty girl.
Upside down tomatoes, how do they turn out?
I love home grown tomatoes but do not have a garden. I have seen some of the ads for the upside down ones and thought I might could do those. Anyone had any luck with those?
I need new pots and pans.
Does anyone have some kind that they really like? Thanks.
pots and pans
I bought my husband Wolfgang Puck's Cafe Collection last year for Christmas - he loves them! Got them at Sam's Club for 100.00. Heavy weight, even cooking, glass lids.
Pots & Pans sm
Yes, go to the Dollar Store, buy all kinds, then buy a couple rolls of aluminum foil to line pans.. Bake in oven as often as possible, bread crumbs and a little non-fat oil go a long way! After using once, throw foil away, use new foil to line pan, use again. After pan falls apart, make the decision whether to buy another one for a buck! Worried about veggies? Do the same, steam veggies in pan lined with foil, follow directions as above. Save money, clean bill of health. Who needs Cephalon?? Be good to yourself, you work, Lady! Well, just kidding but I do this sometimes when I need a break and it works, really!!! I heard Cephalon and T-Fall are good. But how do I know? I like throw away better,too busy for all that other stuff. Good luck to you. Each time I open my cupboard door, I get hit in the head. Rather it be lightweight aluminum than a great big real pan. Happy Turkey Day. Using one of those dollar store bought ones for that. It has a really cool double strength bottom and I can throw it away after. To each his/her own, depends on the situation and whether or not you might get caught!!
you say tomato, I say tomato
I tried to leave by telling the guy the little one needed tending too...and it wasn't like the odor said I was lying about it! He just kept talking. The allotted time was over and we reminded him of that several times. As he did not want "his chance" to get away and wouldn't stop talking, I was left with no alternative.
You say classless and I bet you were one of the ones miffed for giving up 3 hours of your time when the deal said you only had to stay for 1-1/2 hours. We fulfilled our obligation. The rest...well, was... in the diaper. At least I didn't ask him to dispose of it!
There is a joke among used car dealers that becoming a TS salesman is what happens when a used car salesman gets burned out!
It's a business arrangement. We fulfilled our obligation and the offers always say you are under no obligation to buy...just fulfill their criteria. When the salesman overstepped his bounds and wouldn't take no for an anwer, he made the situation more uncomfortable than it had to be. Ms. Manners would probably chastise the TS salesman for not taking no for an answer, me for changing the child in front of him (there were no bathrooms where he gave the tour), and you for the holier-than-thou attitude. Classy indeed!
as I'm aging, I do not like HEAVY pots/pans
La Crueset was too heavy for me as is cast iron plus cast iron is bad for people with hepatitis problem(s) so I tend to stay away from cast iron (puts off iron in the food and hepatitis C feeds on iron) as I have a family member with this particular hepatitis.
My hands are also very bad after transcribing for 30+ years - so I tend to want nonaluminum lighter cookware which would be something like Farberware or Revereware if they still make the latter. *lol*
It tomatoe pleural for tomato?

In Memphissippi here...tomato sandwiches are
a favorite here. Mayo & sliced tomatoes--YUM!
My husband is a hunter. Venison is a staple in most diets in the south.
I have noted a few posts regarding pork skins. They are actually a actually listed in the Adkin's diet as a snack food. You can find them at any flea market in the south.
I grew up in Illinois (St. Louis metro) and many of the same foods we ate there are common here.
Why not hit your local garden center to see what's blooming in pots

I've got Cuisinart hard anodized pots and pans
They still look like they came out of the box and they're about 4 years old. I'm impressed because I used to go through a set a year on the average so I bit the bullet and paid more money and I'm glad I did.
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.
I'm hanging
Getting a little drowsy though. If I gets too bad, will have to let my supervisor know I'm going down for a nap.
I can't believe the poor poster above only got Advil. I was taking Advil like candy over the weekend and it got to the point that it wasn't doing anything.
hanging out with other
Over the course of a long marriage socializing with other couples comes and goes depending on how much spare time you have to socialize.
If you are with someone who really does not like to socialize "at this moment" I would suggest a night on the town just the two of you. Then you get to go out, and he gets to reconnect with you and you may find him more interesting if you are not distracted by the other people and just have fun together.
Very true! Chronic sinusitis here, neti pots don't work for me but oceans do!

Put all the food in a cooler, fill freezer with pots of hot water, & bath

Absolutely love tomato and Vidalia onion sandwiches.

You can also try hanging a bell...sm
On the doorknob of the door you let the dog out of if you don't want them to scratch the door. Then teach them to lift their paw to hit the bell as a way of them letting you know they need out (or they can touch it with their nose to make the noise if you'd rather they do that).
Just lift their paw up and do it for them at first, praising them and/or giving a tiny treat each time, then open the door and go out, and pretty soon they'll figure it out.
One of our dogs figured it out a little too well, and he was soon hitting the bell again and again, very loudly and impatiently every time he just wanted out just to play, so we didn't leave the bell up for long after he was housebroken! LOL
I also agree with the crate training advice you were given. Crates are wonderful tools as long as they're used responsibly. A crate for a dog is sort of like a crib for a baby, IMO.
You also might want to consider something called "clicker training." I'm not an expert on it, but I've done a litte bit and it's fun. (You can use it to train your cats too, BTW!)
Here's a really good article I found for you on housebreaking. It's for puppies and older dogs:

Best of luck with the training. Enjoy your new addition to the family, and please give updates! 
Well don't leave us hanging - let's have it!!! nm
I'm glad she seems to be hanging in there.
I'm sure she was relieved to see you and it did bring her comfort. Maybe she will get used to the tech if she'll just stop poking her, poor baby.
Agree with hanging it outside....
My daughter works in a restaurant that is full of smokers and when she comes home, her coat smells like a french fry rolled in an ashtray - and she always hangs her coat right next to mine. Don't think so - it goes right outside overnight and by morning, the smell is almost gone.
I also LOVE to hang my sheets out when there is a chill in the air. They always smell so much better than when I hang them out in the summer. Have no idea why, but they do.
Plants
Put a plant on it! If it is big, a large fern ought to do it!
So, what happened ~ don't leave me hanging!
I think Logan was going to ask Loralei if he could marry Rory, but I'm more interested in what is going to happen with Luke and Loralei, even though he was such a jerk last season.
well I have the feeders hanging in a tree
but now that the leaves are gone, he has full view and can take his pick. He must realy like the finches, because he has been picking them off my finch sock and practically taking the sock and all (must get his toenails caught). I feel bad, because I feel I'm luring the birds out to the feeders and then they're actually becoming a meal themselves. Maybe I will look into planting some holly bushes or something thick that stays all winter and he can't get into. May not look too pretty in my front yard though. I don't know what else to do.
I totally agree and I am hanging onto
my 95 truck which has too much new stuff, too, but it is paid for. This stuff worked just fine before. wonder where you are? my sister is a pilot, but I think your husband is safe, she has a mechanic already!
And your point is what? I've been hanging out SM
with Sarah Palin and she has all kinds of tips. I hear moose if pretty plentiful and one or two should last you through the season. You might have to charter your own private plane, though.
Happy hunting!
Hanging around your house (as long as
you are home) I do not see as a problem. My daughter is 14 and really the only place I let her go with a gruop is on church outings where I know they are supervised. She does have a male friend that hangs out here (same age) at times, but I am always around.
As for hanging out at a pizza place, there are probably older kids there and I would be a little leery of that.
Hanging out at your house is a good thing
as long as you are there. My house became the hang out house, and it was hard, especially when I was trying to get my work done. But I knew where they were and could step in and keep things under control when necessary. I don't have any daughters, and from what I can tell, it seems that I got the easier job in raising boys rather than girls. I had a "rule of 16" which meant my sons could not date until they were 16 years old. Boys don't really seem to fight this so much. My oldest didn't have a steady girlfriend until he was 18. My youngest was 17 when he first started dating. I also had problems with some of their friends being just plain rude. They'd swear, never say please or thank you, and just generally act like snotty brats at times. That wasn't a problem for me. I corrected them and taught them manners. I used humor, which again boys seem to respond to. Usually, when we had girls over who acted that way, the boys were quick to correct them, and I didn't have to step in myself.
As far as going out, my boys did go out to hang at the local pizza parlor in mixed groups when they were 13. I never had a problem, but they were held to time limits.
I think it's nice that the boys are having lunch at your house with your daughter. It costs a little more to feed your daughter's friends, but you have them there in the house. Be friendly and relaxed, but insist on polite behavior in your home. Surprisingly, most kids will actually gravitate to the house with that sort of atmosphere. Your daughter may give you some grief about not being allowed to do what everyone else is doing, but that's ok. Your job isn't to have her agree with all of your decisions. Your job is to do what is best for her. I think having the boys over while you are at home was a very good compromise. If it happens again, you can always say, "You know, I'm pretty hungry, too. How 'bout I have some pizza delivered. I can order extra and you can invite some other friends over, too." Good luck!
Might try hanging garlic cloves from the branches, - sm
but then again, it might just keep the people away, too!
(On the bright side, at least your tree would be free of vampires.)
all of those plants are pretty well known -
but how many flower arrangements have lillies - and I had never heard about that. So - no cut flowers either. Nope, he had never had any wet food in his entire life. The vet is still perplexed - we have done renal ultrasounds and blood work. His BUN and creatinines were off the charts. I frankly don't know how he is still alive at this point.
Me, too. My plastic plants die. nm

They don't seem to bother my plants
at all. They do, however, ravage my birdfeeders this time of year and throughout the winter. I used to wage war against them but I've softened in my old age. Now I figure they need to eat and survive too so I just let them be.
Fertilize the plants with him. (NM)

Yes more of a stomach bug. Just keeps hanging on. Pains and cramps and just not feeling well. nm

How do you clean artificial plants? (sm)
Seriously - the green ones (not flowers) how do you get the dust off of them? LOL
IGood smelling plants/flowers?
I love nice smell! I have loads of green plants in my home but would like to have ideas of something I can have on a regular basis inside that gives off a nice fragance. I do not have a clue as to what to buy and I would really like to know of something that would not require too much care. I can do the plants but do not have much of a green thumb. Thanks!
Dull leaves on my household plants
Ok, I give up. What can you use to make the leaves shiny, mayonnaise or baby oil or just what? Thanks
For really big plants, I put cotton socks on my hands and just rub
s
I have heard you can apply hot pepper to plants
x
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!
I can't keep plants alive, lucky my children are still living. nm
!
Can't give you any advice of keeping plants alive, I'm
lucky my children are still living. LOL!
Plants will attract gnats, as will ripe fruit.
If the gnats are congregated in one area, sticky bug cards will help catch them for you. Or you can kill them by spraying them directly with an ammonia-based cleaner like many glass-cleaning formulas.
grow up
Yes, did grow up in NYC but
from the way she spoke, you would have thought she was born and raised here.
Oh, grow UP, Jan! sm
They grow up ................sm
when we are not looking, whether we like it or not. While I don't think 10-yo boys should be coddled to the point of being sissies, I do still believe they are still children and need to be guided in an age-appropriate way. The ripe old age of 10 is a difficult time for most kids. They realize they have added a digit to their age and they are entering an emotionally scary and hormonally charged time in their lives when everything they knew is changing....their bodies, their relationships, their whole world. Our jobs as parents are to guide them, not drag them kicking and screaming, along the path that will eventually lead to adulthood. If we do our jobs properly, then we will have young men and women of honor who will someday do the same for their children, but if we screw it up, heaven help the next generation.
