Okay. Guess you should look into that crystal ball you have
since you are all-seeing and all-knowing.
When you get sick, and you have to sell your house. I will listen to you.
When you have used up all the money in the bank, then I will listen to you.
By the way, do you know that Social Security was intended to be short term? Did you know that it is in danger of going bye-bye? And, oh yeah, it wasn't intended for the purposes it is being used for. How many years did you plan for exactly? My aunt had more than you mentioned and was considered ritch. Too bad she got sick the year before she died and lost it all, huh?
One episode in the hospital could wipe out everything you have saved all your life.
YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE. The more you spout, the worse things turn out. Better get that crystal ball out so you can be ready!
Keep the ball rolling...
Keep the Ball rolling-how about
favorite all time TV show. So many to choose from-Friends, Hell's Kitchen (love Chef Ramsey), 90210, CSI, Cold Case, again, just to name a few!
I sit on exercise ball .... sm
and I balance just fine with foot pedal. I dont' sit here for eight hours on my ball. Sometimes I switch out my chair and my ball. Just depends on how my bottom is feeling. I too sometimes sit with my leg folded under my other leg while working, but that's not good for your veins. I have really bad vericose veins (that's another story!)
good luck!
Wow! You're sure a ball of fire! nm

Tennis Ball in the rectum
Then doctors couldn't get a good enough hold on it to get it back out. Had to take him to go to the OR and have it surgically removed. Also light bulb man, except light bulb broke into hundreds of small pieces. OUCH!
First, take it slow. The guy needs to doing SM
something with your head, as well as your heart.
He should treat you well and be open and honest. Good luck.
OH! Sorry for being slow with that! nm

Cotton Ball Game for kids - sm
When my daughter was little, we did this game where you put Vaseline on the child's nose and then they stick their nose into a bowl of cotton balls. Whoever has the most cotton balls stick to their nose wins. I am not sure if this is age appropriate, but I know she and her classmates loved it.
I've had a ball previously and just had too much trouble

With my luck, my "weight challenged" cat would eat the ball!

I'm eyeing up that carpet and that tennis ball sm
That looks like an ooooolllld carpet but in extremely good shape. Grew up with one like that many moons ago. Your dog must be kin to my 2 dogs who both sleep on their backs with all 4 paws in the air. They look so cute. Now that tennis ball looks like mine. I think your baby took it from mine as I can't find any of them..... Just joking.
Second vote for Ball Blue Book
My mom used it and now I use it. I buy a new one every time time they come out with a new edition. Haven't killed anyone yet and those beans taste awfully good this time of year!
Slow cooker
It has been my experience in the past that slow cookers do not cook a turkey well. It you buy a 12 pound bird, it will only take 2-2½ hours in the oven. You may also cook it over night at 200º for 6-8 hours, then brown it off at 375º. Simple recipe. Clean bird and dry. Salt cavity of bird. Place a mixture of butter, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper under the skin of the turkey. Lightly coat outside of bird with olive oil or remaining butter mixture. Cover with foil and cook overnight or bake at 375º for 1½ hours, then remove foil and continue cooking until done. Internal temp should reach 150º.
Just take it slow and easy
Don't rush into anything, and don't let him pressure you into moving faster than you are comfortable with. After all, if you do get together, hopefully you will have a lot of happy years ahead of you. There's no need to rush things in the beginning.
I have been married for a long time to the same man (never divorced) but if we had taken more time in the beginning, we probably never would have gotten married. Outside circumstances kind of put us in a "do or die" position.
We had a lot of unhappy years, especially in the beginning. So the one thing I always advise anyone who is contemplating marriage and/or a serious relationship is take your time.
And good luck!
slow starter
Any hints on getting going when you start your shift? It takes me a good 30 minutes just to begin every day, no matter how I psych myself up to "get at it". Have been coming to computer a half hour earlier to get set, read emails and fiddle around so when I clock in I'm ready to go, but I still will just sit here staring at nothing, fiddling around, etc., and take forever to get going. Do you all have special routines that get you going? One person I know has a special hat he puts on when he goes into his home office. I have not tried that yet. Thanx
Slow computer
All of a sudden my computer is running as slow as mollasses. I used to know what to do but forgot. Even when I'm typing it halts and takes about 30-40 seconds to continue. Please help!

I've also heard about paint ball guns...
they shoot people walking or riding on the sidewalk/road. And those things HURT...what's up with the youth of today? Are they really that bored, I mean, they have sooo much more than we (most of us) did when we were growing up. Maybe that's the problem, they're spoiled...anyway, I do hope they get caught. Thank goodness for my good kids!

I really don't like "girly" movies either but for some reason I have to watch this one if I stumble on it while I'm "flicking" around. I always always always wind up crying like a big baby. It's such a beautifully done film. Just a classic.
Tax refund slow in coming. sm
I e-filed a couple weeks ago with TurboTax and the "where's my refund" tool on the website says there is a delay in processing my refund. I have no idea what the delay could be, but I am running out of funds quickly since my son's father has decided to start stiffing us on child support. Is anyone else experiencing this delay? Has never happened to me before. Quite frustrating and very depressing since it's class ring time and the list goes on and on. TIA.

Doing a slow burn here, going for the jugular
i was so involved, thought i had found some people i could trust and started an animal rescue group with. I paid the expenses to start with the understanding that i would be involved as far as being able to go to rescue animals and basically spent time interacting with them. Oh, believe you me before I did this I got this in writing with the person I was starting this with. Since January of this year when this was first started I basically have rescued about 10 cats and that was about 3 weeks ago. I went along with my coperson but she was always the one picking the animals out. I was happy to go but seems like that has suddenly dried up now since she is up and apparently making some money. I made it clear I did not want any money they might make from the sell of the animals, I was only happy to get them out of the places where they would be put down. Well, so much for MS Nice Lady. I have called her twice over the past 3 days, sent her an email asking her to call, called another lady she heavily works with in this rescuing and no answer at all. I have smoke coming out my ears. Just imagine, about 3 months ago this same person asked me to cosign on a vehicle with a person I had met 1 time for them to transport animals up north!! Well, duh, do I look that looney to you. Not only that, but then 2 months ago this same person came to me telling me she had her electricity turned out, forgot to pay her bill and wanted to borrow $500.00. Even though I am what you call a senior citizen (and when I take her behind to court, that might also work against her) I told her no way was 1 month bill that much, had to be more than 1 month and maybe she should ask her mother and/or father for that. No way Jose was I giving any money, for the animals yes, for someone who conviently forgets a bill, nah. Has anyone on here ever put a lien against someone else. This person does not have a job but has a home. I do not know if the home is in her name but I have just printed off several sheets from Craig's List where they are offering the animals for $125-$200 so she should have some money by now. She is incorporated now but when we signed the agreement she was not, just us starting out. I would think with her being incorporated and selling the animals she should also have books to show her income and such. I am going for her jugular and no more Ms Nice Nice. I am ticked. Thank goodness I have saved any and all receipts I have pertaining to all the animal care, food, etc. etc. that I have paid out.

I took home ec too, but did not learn about canning. The Ball Blue Book gets my vote too...
Mine gets replaced every year also because the pages are all stuck together, stained, and otherwise show signs of major use. LOL. It is my bible for anything that can be canned or frozen or otherwise preserved.

Slow Roasted Cuban Pork recipe
Hi,
Quite a few years back, I had a recipe I can no longer find at home or on the internet, which is where I believe I first found it.
It's for Cuban slow roasted pork with mojo sauce. The recipe's instructions called for putting the roast in the oven on very low heat for at least 24 hours. (I've found a similar one on Epicurious, but would prefer to re-find the one I originally used).
Sound familiar? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Slow. Laid back or high maintenance?

the rude thing was to ask if he was slow and to compare him to her "sorta retared" (sm)
grandchild - and to call her grandchild "sorta retarded" is rude too! I think maybe she's the one who is slow!!

haha!!
Slow-Mohs versus regular Mohs
I am a patient, not a doctor, but my understanding is this:
A regular Mohs procedure takes many hours but is finished the same day you start the procedure. The doctor cuts out the visible tumor, then makes either vertical or horizontal slices from what she has removed. Those slices are made into frozen slides (not literally frozen) and analyzed by the doctor while the patient waits in the office. This allows the doctor to "map" the tumor. If a part of a slide doesn't show a clear (tumor-free) margin, the patient is called back in to a little more tissue removed. Again, that tissue is made into frozen slides and the doctor looks for clear margins. The patient will keep being called back in to have more removed until all the slides show clear margins. This can take many hours, but once the margins are clear, the wound is closed and that is the end of it.
Slow-Mohs is when the wound is left open for a day or two (and up to a week) while the slides are analyzed. That is why it is called "slow" (the time you spend in the office on the first day of surgery should be about the same as if you had regular Mohs). The reason it takes so much longer to analyze the slow-Mohs slides is because the doctor uses paraffin-embedded slides instead of frozen slides. Paraffin-embedded slides are of much higher quality than frozen (my doctor said it's the difference between a huge HD TV and an old black and white TV with bunny-ear antennas).
For most of the malignant tumors treated by Mohs, frozen slides (and thus regular Mohs) is sufficient. But there are some types of tumors that have long, finger-like extensions (like roots) that are hard to see on frozen slides. If they are removed with regular Mohs than these roots could be missed and lead to a recurrance of the tumor. So that is when Slow-Mohs is usually used.
Sometimes Slow-Mohs is called Modified Mohs, but I have also heard Modified Mohs refer to a regular Mohs procedure with other variations. So if a doctor says they are going to do Modified Mohs, ask them exactly what they mean by that.
You should also ask if your doctor will be using vertical (bread-loafing) slices, or horizontal slices. I think vertical is the norm, but horizontal is better for tumors with irregular boarders.
Also, sometimes after doing regular Mohs with frozen slides, the doctor will take a final slice for paraffin-embedded slides to be analyzed just in case. This final paraffin-embedded slide isn't the same as Slow-Mohs. In the rare instance that the final slide comes back with a positive margin, the patient will be brought back in for another Mohs procedure, but usually regular Mohs is a one-day affair.
Overall, Mohs and Slow-Mohs are a great alternative to a wide surgical excision that could result in greater (and unnessesary) tissue loss. I think it is widely accepted for skin cancers, but more controvertial in other cancers like sarcomas.
I have a very rare sarcoma called Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) and while most of the literature I read says Mohs is at least equal to or better than wide excision (but with less tissue loss), I have seen 2 sarcoma specialists that are strongly opposed to Mohs for DFSP. However, their reasons are that vertical slices and frozen slides are inadequate for DFSP. However, it doesn't seem like they are aware of the horizontal slicing options and the ability to do paraffin-embedded slides in Slow-Mohs (and doctors don't respond well to any implication that there is something they don't know). So I am trying to arm myself with as much knowledge as possible...and I suggest you do the same if you have one of the more controversial tumors.
Here is a good (technical) article about Mohs and DFSP that describes the different types of Mohs:
"Modified Mohs Micrographic Surgery in the Therapy of
Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans: Analysis of 22 Patients" http://www.annalssurgicaloncology.org/cgi/reprint/11/4/438
Liking my pressure cooker better than the slow cooker.
After umpteen zillion years of cooking, I finally decided to invest in a pressure cooker about 3 weeks ago, and I love it more than the crockpot. I do like the slow cooker for some things... ribs and pulled pork, for instance. I also like making home-made spaghetti sauce, bean or pea soups, and mmmm mmmm apple butter in it. But most meat prepared in the slow cooker is too dry for me. With the pressure cooker, I'm making really moist foods in no time. I made a fantastic stew in the pressure cooker last week. It was done so fast, and the meat was so much more tender than when I've cooked it all day in the slow cooker. I also made the most delicious Manhattan clam chowder in about 15 minutes. Terrific! Both the slow cooker and the pressure cooker now have honored places in my kitchen. I couldn't do without either one.
It's anybody's guess
I hope it's Sanjaya, but three people forgot the words to their songs. My guess is maybe Brandon (one who forgot the words). With the exception of Lahisha, Melinda and Blake, I am not impressed with this years singers at all. It's one of the worst seasons for me.
Just old, I guess :(

...that's why I gave up on Christianity. Jesus' message was beautiful and loving for the most part, but the religion has become inundated with intolerance and condemnation and even damnation. Religion world-wide is too much of a trigger for war and violence and I'm not sure how it got twisted into its present form(s). Well, let me take that back -- it seems as long as there has been religion humans have been fighting and killing each other over it, which is a sad advertisement for a particular religion, unfortunately.
To quote from a favorite folksong, I'm willing to "let the mystery be."
no, actually, i guess i don't. (nm)

Well, I have 8, so I guess not . . .
and, if I had it to do over again, I would do exactly the same! My youngest will be two in June, and my oldest has two of his own. Yes, we have quite an age spread there.  Our 2-year-old is the joy of our lives. One little laugh or even a smile from him, and everything else seems to pale in importance. He's a great little de-stressor.
As I have always told my children, "Friends come and go, but familes are forever."
I guess it's not who you know, but who you ?
not funny
Hey, guess what???
Still havent called… I asked if anyone else had done this. I don’t live in terror that I will fall over, have my own blood pressure cuff. I can ask if others have done this without showing up at the emergency room....
Guess you were never a kid?
As long as she's smart, then she should be able to stay out. Now if she's going to be all night, she should have the courtesy to let her mother know. I've been in that situation where I had to pay rent to my parents once I was that age. They didn't have a curfew for me, but I was considerate enough to let them know when I'd be out all night or staying with a friend. According to tradition, the female child does not move out until she's courted and then gets married? I think the OP should cut the girl a break and let her make some decisions on her own.
Are they all like that? I guess that's what I really want to know
