Lopez. Kisses or Hugs?

House. Milk chocolate or Dark chocolate?
I've got to share this! Was looking on line and saw Jennifer Lopez sm
and I must say, she is the most gorgeous pregnant woman I have EVER seen. Check this People Magazine shot out. HOpefully it works. She is adorable!!! They are saying it's multiples in there since she did in vitro. She's not that far along yet pretty big, in my opinion. She's just soo pretty..

Chocolate cake with chocolate icing!
My mother didn't like chocolate (is that unAmerican or what?) so it was always a real treat for me on my birthday when she made a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. 
Chocolate cream pie, whipped cream & chocolate shavings on it!
PLUS:
Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
Pumpkin pie with a 2:1 ratio of whipped cream to pie.
A root beer float.
Chocolate chip cookies, or else soft, iced molasses ones - warm from the oven, of course!
And for dessert, a few chocolate Easter bunnies and a dark chocolate Hershey bar with almonds.
Lake George
There's also Waterslide World nearby - good fun for your kiddies if the weather's hot!
lake george
Yes, we're leaving Monday for three days. No plans to swim at the lake though - just in the heated hotel pool...LOL. We actually going to be in Queensbury, so the main goal of the trip is "kid-style" fun activities. Our "beach" vacation is later this summer in Maine...To be honest, I don't care if it rains all three days while we're in Lake Goerge...I will be happy to get away and my 5yo son will be happy just to have a "little fridge" in the hotel room.
Lake George
Every summer as a little girl we use to camp at Lake George. I loved it!
Yep, George W. is a real
xx
ER MT have you been to Lake George?
We were just there this past July. I love that area. So beautiful. Would love to see it in the fall. Only a 3-1/2 to 4 hour ride from northern NJ for me.
George Clooney, yum yum!
xx
Anything by Boy George or Madonna, but
I also agree with some of the other suggestions, like Ring My Bell, Feelings (gag).
Near Lake George
and the snow, she's a comin' down !
My neighbor, George...
who is taking great care of his wife, who has Alzheimer's, and still finds time to plow the snow off his neighbors' driveway with his tractor.
You mean my husband, George?
lmao. We've been married for years. He just doesn't know it yet. 
He was even here in my city not too long ago filming a movie and I missed him!!!! I was so po'd when I found out. Missed him by that much! (said in my best Maxwell Smart voice.) If I'd known I would have gone down and tried to watch the filming.
I heart George. 
George Forman grills
I'm thinking of buying one of these electric grills - has anyone used one? I know they are supposed to be healthy because they drain the fat but do they drain so much fat that the food is tasteless? 
Saw George with Ravi Shankar . . .
My sister saw the Beatles in Chicago. Sure brings back memories
lake george NY ideas?
We are going to Lake George for three nights, leaving on Monday and returning Thursday. We are staying at the Country Inn and Suites right next to the park. Has anyone ever stayed there? I think it used to be called the Wakita and they redid it in 2006. Any input as to activities, we are 2 adults - mom and dad - and daugther, 8yo, and son 5yo. So far, we are using our season passes for the Six Flags Great Escape, maybe ride the boat Minne Ha Ha on the lake, mini golf... I think there is a drive-in nearby so we might check that out one night if it's nearby. Any personal favorites out there? Has anyone ever been to the Fort William Henry museum?
Oh - and "family-friendly" restaurant recommendations!
Thanks! 
Hot at Lake George, even hot in the Catskills.

George Clooney's doorstep. : )

He look - he has George Clooney's hair.
Cute dog.
I dream he and George are chasing me. Being them,

But ... but ... Didn't ya like and miss George?
Didn't ya like Carter. In the last episode Greene's daughter was on applying as she was a med student and that was neat. But, but, now it's done and gone. Still sniffing.
I think the whole idea of the George Foreman grill
therefore the juices are supposed to come out to make it less fatty. Searing in the pan keeps the juice in but also the fat. I liked the taste from the George Foreman grill, but I didn't like the clean-up :(
I would prefer just to bake in the oven actually. Also in regards to marinading meat. 30 minutes is plenty of time. If you keep it in the marinade longer it tends to make the meat rubbery. Just a thought...
Yeah, very strange that it was George who failed.
I wouldn't have been surprised if Izzy failed, but George?
I had heard ahead of time that Burke was going to walk out on the wedding, but I heard it was because he didn't make chief, or because McDreamy made chief instead, and I didn't see how the 2 were related. I know the show is about drama, not realism, but Burke was smart enough to know Christina wasn't as into marriage as he was, so no loss for me except all that expense and loss of eyebrows and all.
No, George, the old crazy guy.. I miss that show.
xx
George a sammie and get a great panini.

Definitely George mystery novels or romance
!
Show went downhill after the George Clooney days..sm
It is too much like a soap opera now. I remember the days when it was all about actual medicine and patients and doctors. Now it's just love triangles and boring characters. I think it needs to end as well. I watch just for Archie cuz he cracks me up!
I've had a George-Clooney sound-alike
at most of my jobs, but so far haven't heard him yet at this job.
Too bad ...
Not real original but the first one that comes to mind is George Clooney. nm
!
Bewitched. George Clooney or Brad Pitt?
funny read for George Carlin fans..sm
Ya gotta get to your nearest library and ask for this book. I'm laughing my butt off! Just the title alone is sure to offend at least 3 major organized religions and vegetarians.

When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops?

It's actually something like a second job to get the bill that low.
I spend a lot of time studying sales and clipping coupons (doubled and sometimes tripled in our area). And I use bonus cards and shop at places like Aldi's for staple items. I never go into a grocery store without a plan, and I never buy on impulse. A lot of money can get away from you when you just browse up and down the aisles. Also, the $321 does not include cleaning products, pet food, or any paper products. That's strictly our people food. We only eat meat 3 or 4 times a week. I also cook nearly everything from scratch. That's just part of my Italian family's food tradition. I will pay $12 for a chunk of really good cheese, though! LOL It's a balancing act. I can make a really nice platter of gnocchi with just some flour, water, egg and a baking potato. For a "sauce" I just use olive oil, salt and pepper, GOOD cheese, maybe a little bit of chopped ham or dried sausage as a flavoring. Add some sauteed spinach or escarole, a little salad from whatever veggies looked good at the market. Add some beans to the salad to boost the protein, and we're eating very fine! I also haven't bought canned soup in .... probably ever. I save up chicken carcasses or buy the backs to make stock. I also make veggie stock and buy beef soup bones and make my own beef broth. The home-made stocks make all the difference when cooking from scratch.
I keep the grocery bills low by planning my shopping expeditions and cooking from scratch. It depends on how far you want to go with it. I love to cook. It's a creative outlet for me, so I find it relaxing. Someone else may not, in which case, buying convenience foods would lower their stress level and would be worth the extra expense.
I bet she won't get a bill from the
Bet the hospital writes this off.
Gas Bill
I also live in a small apartment (not a complex, up and down situation) of 2 bedrooms, living room-dinning room, kitchen, bath. My gas bill usually runs about $175-200 a month in the winter. My last gas bill for February was over $600. I found out that my contract with the gas company I was using ran out, and they did not tell me. I called another gas company who gave me a deal at half the price. That is still way too high. I am moving back to Oklahoma this next weekend. I now live in Ohio. House payment alone will save me $300 a month, and my gas payment will probably be about $100-150 a month. I can get a huge house for $300 a month, where as I pay $550 now for a tiny apartment. With all the cuts in pay at MQ, I just cannot afford living here any longer.
I use the bill pay also but
when at the bank today where you have to enter your account number do not think enough space to enter what you need for another banking acct. Oh, well will only be transferring money say every 3 or 4 months and the 3.00 extra charge will not be that bad, especially since if you wire transfer in bank I think they charge around 20 or so.
40 employees in a NJ hospital suspended for leaking George Clooney's sm
medical records after his accident a few weeks ago and this even includes some doctors! But, here is George's response: This is the first I've heard of it. And while I very much believe in a patients right to privacy, I would hope that this could be settled without suspending medical workers." -- George Clooney
I love him even MORE now! LOL
Disco baby...Brad Pitt or George Clooney

Me again, tell you what I did about paying a bill for a dog
like I said above, huge animal lover. I have 3 furkids but a friend of mine whose son is a druggie, was not seeing about his dog. The dog needed an operation for a growth on his foot. I paid over $1000.00 for that and now I buy my newly adopted doggie its medicine each month. I never give my friend money because want the money to go for the doggie, not drugs for her kid but you can believe I am seeing the doggie is comfy!
How we cut our power bill...sm
The bill arrived yesterday and it was $40 less than it usually is when compared to any summer month last year. Here's how we did this:
- I enforced people turning off lights when they leave rooms.
- We switched the light bulbs in the living room and bedroom to the energy saving energystar rated bulbs.
- When the washing machine died we replaced it with an energy saving one.
I was suprised that the power bill went down this month... especially with it begin summer and having the A/C running.
To help the kids remember to turn off the lights when they leave a room and to not leave water running that is not being used I gave them the incentive that if the utility bills came in what our usual budget is then they can have the excess money for extra activities this summer. That has sure gotten their attention!
Maybe someone else paid the bill for you.
no msg
Hospital bill
As long as you pay something every month, there is nothing they can do to you.
I would not take my money out of the CD's or move it. Just keep paying something every month.
Quicken Bill Pay
I use that site. It's worth the $9.95 a month to me for all the bills I write.
I have 2 gifts that fit this bill.
Back in the 80s my mother made 2 quilts, one side silky and the other side imitation fur. You talk about warm! Have used those since. The best gift ever was not Christmas but my husband (actually called first to make sure ok) and then bought me home my 2 tuxedo cats- they were really small when he first got them but they have grown into big lovable guys. One a Christmas and the other just a gift. I am blessed.

Not the poster you replied to but I do like Bill O.

I heard that in some states you can bill the MD
I heard this quite a few years ago, never tried it....but our time is as valuable as anybody else's time (outside of emergencies/extenuating circumstances) and I worked for an MD who kept the patients waiting for 5 hours in his waiting room....the elderly were the victims in this case....it was 20+ years ago. And don't you just hate waiting in the waiting room for over an hour and then waiting in that examining room for any length of time beyond 10-15 minutes?!?! Usually a 30-45 minute wait and I don't like that either....
Most of us have places to go, people to see, things to do.....all as important as anybody else.....they are not gods....far from it, actually.
Yeah, they pay our bills/mortgage/rent but doesn't mean we have to like 'em....*l*
thanks for the place to vent...
