PLEASE do NOT think that *pristine* neighborhoods are free of drugs, crime, domestic violence, child abuse, alcoholism, methamphetamine labs, and all the REAL stuff that goes on in MOST neighborhoods - because ALL these problems have crossed over ALL socioeconomic lines in this country!

Let her rant and rave....nobody really knows what goes on behind closed doors!  Pristine, white collar, no matter what kind of area - the blight has crossed over EVERYWHERE over 30-40 years now!

Nothing like the old show...very hip, very edgy, very sexy.  I'm sure they'll be showing reruns....maybe already are...haven't sat down to watch TV in what feels like forever!  (although I do have a few Good Eats in my DVR so I can skip commercials and just watch that oh-so-edible Alton Brown!)  

Anybody watching?  Is anyone else besides me perplexed that Jerry Springer is still on? 

Quite an eclectic group this time.  What did you think?

 You mean this guy?  lol

I hear that I am a good candy maker and my secret is I don't measure!  I eyeball everything!  Lazy!  So the measurements I give are kind of guesses... but you can look up recipe for buckeye candy too.  We changed the name of ours to bug eyes because they kind of looked like bulging out bug eyes

Peanut Butter - approx 2-3 cups. I use Skippy Honey Nut. In a household taste test with another regular brand this got higher review.  Definitely go for a creamy kind and don't use all natural.

3-4 cups powdered sugar  (I specifically remember the recipe called for 3, but when I looked in the box there was not that much sugar left in there, so I dumped it in.  So basically one whole box of powdered sugar)

2 sticks butter

1 package of chocolate chips.  I'm a Nestle Toll House girl always.  I think the recipe was actually for those melting choc chips, but I think those don't taste that great. 

Beat BP and 1 stick softened butter in very large bowl until PB is really creamy & then slowly add in sugar until it seems to hold together well enough to form balls.  I say slowly on adding in the sugar so you can stop when you can make good balls that are moist and not crumbly.  Probably about 1-inch size balls or so.  Use waxed paper on a baking sheet and stick in the freezer for about an hour. 

When hour is up, melt chocolate and about half of the other stick of butter together in pot on stove.  You can microwave but I think slowly stirring over the stove is easier to monitor.  When all of the chips have melted together, you are done.

Don't let chocolate cool, start dipping PB balls in til coated, leaving a portion of the ball uncovered like an eyeball.  I put tiny slivers of unmelted chocolate in the middle of the uncovered part to look like pupils.  Keep in fridge until set. 

I hope someone enjoys.  This is probably a very common recipe, and like I said you can probably find it somewhere with real measurements!.  But it is so easy, one of those ones I can make without looking at the instructions over and over and everyone loves.  I cannot wait to make them, after typing about it!

Nobody puts Baby in a corner. 

Go back to your playpen, Baby.

Love, love, love that movie

I have microsoft word, works, notepad and word pad.  i'm wanting to sort a list in alphabetical order. in word, i find sort under tables, but it doesn't sort....??  any other way to do it, or suggestions on why its not sorting the list? 

many thanks.

I forgot that my vet also did the skin scrapings and came up negative. 

I hope someone will offer some help.  I feel so bad for her and when it gets to the point that we are waking up at night...well, I just feel so bad for her. 

I will let you know if we arrive at a solution. 

I do have a child in advanced math.  He's in 8th grade taking Algebra and he'll be 14 at the end of the month. 

My thing is if your daughter tested well enough to get into this Physics class, then she must be one smart cookie!  However, if you encourage her to drop out when in fact she can probably do the work and just has to work a little harder, I think you all will regret it. 

A GPA is wonderful to have at high levels; we all know that, but if that high GPA is being earned because the child is in "easy classes", then it doesn't mean much at that point. 

I say keep her in the class.  She'll get through it, and she may not get a 98%, but she may find it a nice challenge, if she's as smart as you say she is, which I believe she is to be accepted into a Physics class in 9th grade.  Let's not kid here! 

Good luck to you!  I think she'll do great and she just has a little nervousness as maybe it's not coming so easy right now, but it will come!  I hope this all makes sense!
