country club dressing sm

In Reply to: What would you wear to this occasion? (sm) - NC-MT
Just attended a wedding at a country club. No matter where you go, everyone dresses differently. I would wear a dress or nice pants & top with some jewelry if you have any. Some of the men had suits and some had just a shirt and tie (with slacks, of course!). I wore a plain short dress with a jacket handy because the place was so air conditioned, and a nice necklace, nylons and a slight heel. Everyone was dressed differently. Just make sure your hair looks neat, your crowning glory, then the rest of you will feel just fine. I think since it is your family, you may feel better if you just look neat with a little jewelry that's in your budget. They are very fortunate that you are celebrating their milestone. Wearing a smile and taking lots of pics and giving a copy to the couple will put you high on their list. Have fun!!!

dressing
To each his own. I wish I did like cornbread dressing, but I absolutely do not! My best friend wouldn't fix anything else. As far as bread goes, I toast white/wheat bread in the oven first. Add ground pork, ground beef, celery, onions, garlic, 1 bunch of fresh parsley. Very good!!
Cranberries in dressing sm
I put finely chopped fresh cranberries in my Pepperidge Farm Seasoned Bread Stuffing (here in NE). It is a dried bread with stuffing flavoring in which I added cranberries chopped in my food chopper. I also substituted either apple juice or orange juice for the water. I did at one time use Swanson chicken broth instead of water but since I gave up greasy food, I could taste the grease, so I substitute juice. I also sometimes add raisins. People love my stuffing. I bake it separately in a casserole dish for about 45 min. at 350 or until the top starts to brown a little (not too brown). I also add finely chopped celery and 1 small finely chopped onion, 1 stick of low-fat margerine or butter (the butter does not taste greasy).
hair dressing
Check your closest beauty supply store. I think you may be looking for what is called a "hair dressing." They smell good, come in light to heavy. I use one on my "babies" who have extremely curly hair. They are biracial, but do not have the coarse black African hair. Their hair is just extremely curly and the hair dressing adds shine and moisture, not oil, to their hair.
YUM, my mom's dressing balls.
made with different varieties of day-old bread, onions, celery, S&P, chicken broth and poultry seasoning, formed into balls, brushed with melted butter and baked until crispy on the outside. DEELISH!!
Club Med
I would recommend it highly. I've been to Club Med 5 times, twice before I got married and three times with the children. We have so much fun. It's like a cruise on land. There's so much to do or you can do nothing at all. There's clubs for families and the kids have their own clubs within Club Med. My daughter learned to water ski. They had Circus School at the Club Med in Florida, so she leared the trapeez, etc. She loved it so much we barely saw her the whole week we were there. The foods is amazing. Truthfully, I wouldn't go on vacation anywhere else but an all-inclusive. Unfortunately, we're not going this year due some medical problems within the family, but hopefully next year.
Look at this Southern Dressing with Cranberries

I just said yuck to the cranberry dressing
Don't understand why you read more into yuck! Unbelievable!
Christmas Club...sm
I have three grown kids (includes 1 in-law) and I have money taken out of my paycheck through the year and whatever the amount is when I get the check, I divide that by 3 and that is how much I spend on the kids. It's usually around $200 to $250. I put back through the year from my OT and get my husband something nice and then I just pick up a few inexpensive things along the way for a couple of other people I like to give a little something to. I don't think anybody really cares how much I spend on them, but I do try my best to be equal in what I spend on the kids, even at their ages now!
Join the club!
I cannot get mine threaded! Couldn't believe that. Will wait until after the holidays to try again.
Club Med is amazing
You could also try Club Med. They have places all over the world. We've been to the one in Cancun twice, the one in Florida twice (very family friendly), and Bermuda. Just the kind of vacation I love.
There are some Club Meds that do not
admit anyone under a certain age. Not all are family friendly, some very adult themed.
Very correct about Club Med
There are only a handful of Club Meds that that cater to families. There are probably over 50 and there are some that are supposed to be quite wild.
Formerly from Jersey, up there called it stuffing, down here they say dressing - HUH?

The older guys, unless cross dressing
or otherwise, would never think of burning candles just like they would not take bubble baths. I think your sexual preference is whatever you want but I do not, for me, want a metrosexual (I want facials, skin care, pedicures - you get the picture) man. As an older woman, I just like total masculine myself for a hubby, don’t want to second guess why he is using my makeup, candles, fingernail polish and the like. Any time you have to guess like the post did, there is probably more underlying than you see on the surface.
try italian dressing powder packet that you mix yourself. sm
i marinate for about 3-4 hours in this and then grill. tastes really good. you'll have to mix it with vinegar. read packet and mix as directed and then marinate in it.
Salmon with Makoto ginger dressing
This was our dinner tonight. DH made the salmon on the grill. Put it on foil with salt and pepper on low heat on the gas grill, he says. Total time on the grill was around 25 minutes (big, thick pieces), and about the last 7-10 minutes he put the dressing on with a brush. The thick part of the dressing stayed on top and the thinner part ran down onto the foil and carmelized the bottom (skin) side. We had fancy bread and sweet potatoes (microwaved with skins on) with it.
Salmon is so good for us, but the flavor is too strong for me unless it is doctored up to smooth the flavor down. This was fabulous. If you like ginger, try it.
You misread my post. I was saying the usual dressing (since that is what they sm
call it down here) with added cranberries. I have never made it like that. I was saying that sounded yummy. I can't believe you got offended at this post. Unbelievable.
My daughter is into Club Penguin!
 She's a computer geek already!!! Just kidding!!! LOL
Find a Steelers fan club
We moved away from Pittsburgh 20+ years ago. Most cities have fan clubs. We belong to one in our city, and it's a lot of fun going on Sundays and watching the games.
Timeshare/Vacation Club
Last summer, my husband and I got suckered into one of those timeshare talks while on vacation. We ended up buying into the "trial program". It wasn't overly expensive, only about $1000, and we would receive 1-week at one of their resorts and a "price freeze" should we decide to buy in after that. After returning home and reviewing the package a little more closely, we decided that we wanted to cancel the trial package. I did a little research online and found that we had 7 days to cancel a timeshare. I immediately sent a certified letter to the resort company requesting to cancel the purchase agreement. They never responded and I ended up calling them to see if they had received my request. They confirmed that they did but that it was non-cancellable.
We stopped the autopay that we had set up on a credit card. From that time on, we began to get collection letters. I contacted the real estate commission for that state and asked for this to be investigated, to which I received a blanket letter from them stating that they tried to mediate but that the resort refused to resolve this. The resort basically stated that it was not cancellable and that we owed the money.
What I am wondering is, what happens now? The resort said they would continue to pursue this issue through third-party collectors. If I legally am obligated to this debt, why wouldn't they just take me to court? Why would they continue to draw this out? What effect will it have on my credit score? Anyone ever been in a similar situation? I should also note that we never used this vacation package. It expires July 2009. The total due has now escalated to about $1500 due to their "late fees". I don't want to ruin my credit over $1500, but I also don't want this package. Any suggestions?
I would hit Costco or Sam's Club and grab (sm)
some big bags of tortilla chips and salsa, something more bland maybe for the kids - and maybe even offer hotdogs/buns for the kids so they won't waste friend chicken? You can also buy big cans of Bush's Baked Beans and I'd get a potato salad or macaroni salad as well - you want them to fill up on the less expensive items so you don't run out of meat - kids usually love spaghetti also - that and some french bread would be a good side - I worry about fried chicken and the mess... have fun!!
Dear Columbia DVD Club
I know I was a sucker and a moron to ever sign up with you and probably deserve all the grief I am now getting with you charging my credit care for things I didn't order. However, I believe this just might be FRAUD (ya think?) on your part. Please stop charging me. Thank you.
True southern, never had dried cranberries in dressing.
Yuck!
Anybody on the NBC Biggest Losers On-line club? How much is it? sm
is it worht the cost? TYIA.
Wasn't she on the Micky Mouse Club?
I thought I read that somewhere.
Was this the sniper trained guy whose while was singing in a club?

I swear, I should be working. But, I just got done combing through the new Sam's Club Christmas s
catalog. You would not believe the kind of stuff they have in there now! I was impressed, shocked, thrilled, all at the same time. Now they have "packages" that members could buy and here were your 3 choices. You tell me which you'd choose, okay? Remember, this is just for fun because obviously none of us are millionaires (or at least I don't think we are :)
1. The Tony Bennett package which includes: Round trip tickets for 4 to London, VIP passes, meet Tony, autographs, 5 star hotel, gold VIP seats, food. Price: 44,000.
2. The Super Bowl package: Round trip tickets for 4 to Miami, tickets to the game, party with Dan Marino, 4 signed autographed jerseys, limo rides, 750.00 per person for spending money, 8:00 tee time at NFL golf game with an NFL player (OMG, how many husbands would be in awe of this??), 5-star hotel, amazing seats to the game, PLUS - 57 inch plasma t.v., surround sound for your home, camcorder, digital camera. Price: 77,000
3. The New Cessna Mustang (BEAUTIFUL), personal jet: Price: 2,400,000 (or something like that). To the person purchasing this: You must wire transfer 275,000 upon agreeing to buy it. This is MY choice, especially since I have a son who lives 4 states away.......
But, how much does a personal pilot cost? How much does it cost to "store" your plane?
Ahh, the lifestyle of the rich...How nice would it be to get your hubby the NFL package for Christmas???? It just doesn't compare to a tie, does it? Sigh..................
My husband is a runner and is very active in his track club.
He drives me a little crazy, because it's nothing for him to run 10-miles for a "simple" workout. But he does a lot with the club by setting up races, some of which benefit charities. And he's very good, by the way. He's finished well in national track meets. He's also the treasurer for our son's boy scout troop. I'm an assistant scoutmaster and do all of the outside stuff with the kids. Hubby HATES camping, hiking, backpacking. But that's the stuff for me! Our interests overlap in a few areas, but there have been times that we even take separate vacations. (Lots of people gasp at that.) But, occasionally, we can combine them. He's running in Maine next year, and I know that there is a river that passes in front of our hotel. I'm bringing my kayak! He can run all he wants! :)
I composed a song about the Westmister Kennel Club and put it on CD SM
and have written poems and want to submit them, just don't know where, as I see warnings not to submit them to many publishing companies. Any good ones I can trust? 
Someone posted a recipe for baking chicken in bbq sauce and Italian dressing... SM
Does anyone have that recipe? I am making chicken tonight and need something that I can throw together and stick in the oven while I'm working. I haven't cooked in a couple of days and the natives are getting restless for a home cooked meal!
Hard-boiled eggs, shredded cheese, olives, dressing of choice.nm

I love tuna with the mayo on salad with hot and sweet peppers and creamy italian dressing. YUM!
Just had to share - it's delicious.
Maybe a nice garden/gazebo/outdoor wedding at a club/restaurant etc nearby? Get

OMG - No wonder this country is

We do need to be in the country
That's exactly what we need (country). We don't mind driving a little further to go to the stores. We are both home during days (yes that could drive one nuts in itself), but DH does computer work so he's home too. The only time we go out is once a weekend to go grocery shopping, so a longer drive is fine for us. We moved to this neighborhood because we used to live out of state (close to Canada border) and wanted to be closer to family, and not in the harsh harsh winters, so did research for about 6 months and chose this area. Because we were out of state we couldn't just come down here everytime there was a house for rent (and we had a certain timeline when the lease ended up there), so only had about 30 days to get it all together between finding a place close enough to our end lease date, pack it all up up there, drive down (a 2 day drive), and get moved in. So, we didn't know the neighborhoods and we said it doesn't matter at that time, just get down here and then have time to look around for a better place. Luckily we're month to month now so can leave at any time. So, now its trying to find a place with some "space". We don't mind the occasional noise, but with so many neighbors around us so close in proximity they are all making noise, and they are all making noise at different times. So its on with the hunt for us.

Another post that was removed mentioned golf course in Florida that was now owned by the Japanese. Jobs, property, borders, etc. Why are our leaders allowing this? I do not believe the average citizen want this.
in the country
at my husband's great uncle's house out in the woods in Ruston, LA - on a Sunday - the preacher came to the house. . we wore jeans and wouldn't allow any family other than the great aunt & uncle and a cousin. . we were strange. . We did let some great aunts bring punch and cake later.
Gone Country
I have been watching Gone Country... I didn't see it at all last season, but one of my friends told me to start watching it this season since Sebastian Bach is on it (he used to be the lead singer of a rock band called Skid Row back in the 80s ~ I had such a huge crush on him back then!! LOL!)
What is up with Sean Young?!?!?!? I really don't know much about her, but is she "cuckoo" like that in real life? Has she ever done any singing before? (it sure doesn't sound like it!)
And this is why our country is going to h@ll in a

I love the dressing and I love lemon pie..sm
My mom's lemon pie that is. I also love this dessert called Texas Delight or some people call it different things but is is layers of chocolate pudding and cream cheese and whipped cream. The food is my favorite part besides the watching my son open presents on x-mas.
1st of all I said this *country* - not world...sm
Secondly, it's not just the Christians, I beg to differ.......there's plenty of other religious groups in the USA - that this effects.....and who have been oppressed for a couple of centuries as I see it.
little by little in this country - losing ....nm
There is a country song.. sm
Alissa lies. About child abuse. I know this is a little different, but that song makes me so sad. It is hard for your daughter I'm sure not to think about children that struggle with issues of this sort.
Uh...this is still a free country and one can--sm
participate if they choose to, negatively or otherwise. I see plenty of other discussions where people have differing opinions about different things, negative, not liking, etc., and no one says any thing to those people...well, sometimes they do, but I thought this was a forum for everybody to participate, negatively or not, not just for those who happen to agree with what is being posted. There were plenty of people complaining about the Anna Nicole Smith threads too, and they participated, but no one told them they were angry or ill.
yep it is a free country and
that is why i can post that i thought * nn * sounded angry, deeply angry.
and it is MY OPINION that you sound very young. maybe in 10 or 20 years, you will get the gist of what is going on here.
give it a rest. i know i am.
Unless you are a citizen, this is not your country
How can you insist, demand, that we set up somewhere for you to wash your feet for a prayer session? There is supposed to be separation of church and state and I most definitely have heard of places having to get rid of things such as the 10 commandments and so forth. I am against the war, am against total wasting of our money (same thing happened with contributions to Katrina victims) but England right now having a horrible problem with the immigrants having taken over their every day lives. Miami is not like it used to be with the influx of Cubans. It is not the Miami that I visited in years past. If Americans demanded foot baths be installed somewhere for a prayer session, the ACLC would be all down our throats.
Living in the country is so...
enjoyable. We have two neighbors and that is about it. One neighbor is across the pond from us and the other neighbor lives back behind a wooded area and we can't hardly see their place unless it is in the winter. I don't think I'd like living right next door to someone else.
I tell you what they do in this part of the country
I never liked stuffing - but here they make stuffing and make it like little balls (like a good handful) and bake it on a cookie sheet.
What is happening to this country
How in the world did they come to the conclusion that has to do with drugs. It could mean a hundred things. When DH and I are arguing he does that all the time (like the poster below said) it means time out. The kids in the pics look like a couple of nice teenagers (except of course not one of the best poses for a prom photo.
Our beloved country.
See on msnbe.msn opening page right now, under business section, foreigners overseas taking advantage of our slumping housing sales. I think of all of the wonderful men and women who died for our country to give us our blessings in this country, and I feel they are being so betrayed by what is going on in our country.
This country is definitely in trouble....
IMHO, many people have blinders on. Still buy like crazy, charge everything, drive brand new cars with big monthly payments, have all the toys, new everything and then only pay minimums on their CC payments or miss a house payment or two and think everyone lives that way. People need to learn how to save money, plain and simple. DH and I both work, make just over six figures, have only the house payment, cars paid for (not new ones but don't care to impress anyone with our cars), no CC debt, gas prices aren't hurting us too much and we can still take nice vacations 2-3 times a year. Most people these days live like there is no tomorrow, don't bother to save for retirement, try to keep up with the Jones' and are miserable. We make a nice living, live well within our means and are content. Do we want new things...sure, but we pay cash for what we want. Nothing irks me more than when someone charged to the hilt on credit cards complains that the debt collectors are calling them because they are behind in payments. Most people whould be able to ride out a recession if they had some money in the bank.
