Happy to share. If you've ever had Hummingbird Cake, I have been told that this is a lot like that, without the spice (I think the spice would make it more like Carrot Cake, but not sure).
Pineapple Nut Cake
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. drained crushed pineapple
1 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla 'til sugar is dissolved. Add flour, baking soda, and pineapple. Add nuts and pour into greased/floured 13 X 9 pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 8-oz package cream cheese (softened)
1 stick butter (softened)
1-1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Hope you try it and like it! This is another thing that I could live on for days.
They have been looking for Linda at my
house for the last 7 years. The funny thing, though, she is still using MY phone number for more current bills.
LOVE your pic Linda:-) no msg
To Linda: Please see message.
I try to look at it realistically. Cystic fibrosis is a pretty serious disease, one that usually attacks babies and young children. That's the tragedy. I'm 56 years old and didn't find out until I was 53. That's something I never heard of. The majority of my life has been good and healthy. One of my docs told me that first my pancreas will destroy itself, and then I'll become diabetic, (which is why I was so interested in what the poster down a little bit where she questioned about whether I might have diabetes. Once my pancreas is "gone," then my lungs will take over, and that's what will kill me. I haven't been coughing very much in the last 3 years, but now, for about 2 weeks, I can't stop coughing.
I feel ashamed to even be griping about this, considering those poor babies and young children who get this disease and die early.
Thank you very much for the compliment, but she isn't going to change. I'm waiting for this voucher program to go into effect (I've been accepted) so I can move out. I don't have a car, and I don't even have a phone. I have to depend on her to give me messages, and it's a 50%/50% chance whether I'll get those. I figure that I lost my apartment in PA, and as I got sicker, I lost my car and then my phone. So I'm trying like heck to get a phone. There's one that I like on Cricket; I've been watching it for a few months now, and the price sometimes goes down to $9.99. Unfortunately, this isn't one of those times! Maybe a couple of soup cans and a string??
I honestly don't know why my son-in-law stays with my daughter. She treats everyone badly. She even cheated on him a couple of years ago, so he is often guarded in his relationship with her.
My parents were very dysfunctional. My father especially was physically and verbally abusive. I remember taking my mom to the doctor's office to be scheduled for surgery because she had colon cancer.
When we got back to my parents' house, my father was lying on the couch, mean as usual, and told her, "You fat b***h, there's nothing wrong with you. You just want some attention." I looked at my mom, who didn't say a word -- just silent tears streaming down her face. Then I reamed him a new one.
A week later, she was dead.
My daughter knows nothing about my diseases because she's not interested in doing any research about it. If I come home from the doctor's and try to tell her what happened, she simply isn't interested in hearing it.
One one of my more serious hospitalizations (11 days), I had pneumonia and pancreatitis, she was especially nasty. She knew if I wasn't home working, I wasn't earning anything. So she called me and asked about when I would be paying the rent because if I don't, they'll get evicted, and it will all be my fault. Then she called later in the day, SCREAMING about my 15-year-old cat spraying all over the basement and making it stink and ordered me to get rid of it that day. I had no choice but to call the Humane Society, where I know nobody would adopt a 15-year-old cat. No doubt in my mind: That cat is dead. The best part is that the "stinking up the place" wasn't even my cat because it continued after she had me get rid of it. It was one of HER cats.
She reminds me of how my father treated my mother, and I need to get out of here ASAP because she's made it clear that I'm a burden and she wants me out. I try not to be a burden. I purchase and cook my own food (I'm not allowed to eat with the family, but I prefer it the way it is.)
Oh, sheesh! I've written a novel here and didn't mean to.
Thank you again, Linda, for th e kind words. I really appreciate them.
Sorry to hear of your loss, Linda. nm

This article supports Linda's idea:

Linda....nn wasn't watching - don't waste your time
Linda Lavin? - She played Alice in the TV show "Alice." sm
the one where she worked at Mel's diner?
Linda Chavez has great articles and makes a lot of sense.
This is long but I think worth it.
As if a housing crisis, rising energy costs and a soft labor market weren't enough to cause economic anxiety for the average American, now consumers are feeling the pinch of rapidly escalating food costs. The United States has long prided itself in being the breadbasket of the world, and Americans have traditionally paid a smaller share of their income on food than citizens of other developed countries. But the days of cheap milk, bread, beef and poultry may well be over — and Uncle Sam is partly to blame.
In 2007, the cost of a gallon of milk increased 26 percent; eggs went up 40 percent; and a loaf of white bread went from $1.05 to $1.28 from 2006 to 2008. Steep increases in the price of oil have contributed to these higher costs, but the federal government has played a pernicious role as well. By mandating that oil companies increase the amount of ethanol they blend with gasoline, the government has not only artificially increased the cost of corn, which is what most U.S. ethanol is made of, but has driven up the cost of other grains as well. Inflated corn prices encourage farmers to divert more acreage to corn, which means they plant less soy and wheat, which, in turn, drives the prices of those commodities up as well. The aggregate price of wheat, corn, soy oil and soy meal in the U.S. will be $61.7 billion higher in the 2007/2008 crop year than it was in 2005/2006.
Corn prices affect a host of other food prices as well. If you've ever looked at the ingredient labels on everything from bologna to canned tomato soup, you'll see that corn syrup is a common ingredient of many processed foods. Corn is also a common grain used in feed for cattle, poultry and hogs. As a result, prices for meat and poultry are going up, but even with higher prices, some companies in the meat industry still can't make a profit, and many are being forced to cut jobs and close plants. I've seen this firsthand as a member of the board of directors of Pilgrim's Pride, the nation's largest chicken producer, where we have already had to shut down one plant and close six distribution centers to cope with record losses directly attributable to soaring feed costs.
But what is most galling about the impact of government mandated ethanol production is that it does little or nothing to solve our energy problems.
Ethanol proponents argue that it is cleaner than petroleum — which improves air quality — and that it and other alternative fuels will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Both claims are dubious.
Corn-based ethanol is inefficient as a fuel for automobiles, reducing vehicle gas mileage by 20-30 percent in vehicles using E85, the highest ethanol content fuel. Fewer miles-per-gallon of gas essentially eliminates any savings achieved, even by mixing ethanol with gasoline in the lower 9 percent ethanol blends required in all U.S. gasoline today. And of course, it also takes energy to produce ethanol — for farming and distilling the corn and transporting the final product to the pump — and much of that energy will come from carbon-based fuels.
None of these arguments has stopped the aggressive ethanol lobby from getting its way with Congress, however, and pressure increases in presidential election years as Iowa farmers encourage candidates to pledge allegiance to ethanol during the Iowa caucuses.
If ethanol really were the miracle fuel its proponents claim, you'd think there would be huge profits in producing it in the free market. But that's not the case. Consumers not only pay for ethanol at the pump, they're paying taxes as well to subsidize ethanol production in the U.S. — and they're paying a hidden tax to keep cheaper, foreign sugar cane ethanol from competing with the domestic corn-based product. Subsidies to gasoline blenders amount to about 51 cents per gallon, and the government imposes a 54-cent tariff on foreign ethanol so that it can't provide a cheaper alternative for U.S. consumers.
And matters will only get worse as government mandates higher bio-fuel content in U.S. gasoline from the current 9 percent to 15 percent by 2015. Ethanol won't solve the energy crisis, but it may well lead to a food crisis in the U.S. and elsewhere. The U.S. Agency for International Development reports that the cost of providing wheat, corn, cereal and other foodstuffs to poor nations has gone up 41 percent since October 2007, which will mean we can provide less assistance to starving people around the world. Federal policy is literally diverting food from the table to the gas tank — and it's time we stopped it.

Paul
Hey! Nice to meet you!! I actually saw Paul in concert for the first time in September 2005 in Philadelphia. I live in Maryland and the tickets were my "mother's day" gift from my husband. It was, bar none, the BEST concert I have ever been to. I love the man!!! I, too, love George Harrison. He was so creative; I loved "While My Guitar Gently Weeps......."
Paul
Yeah, my kids will actually say "now, WHICH ones are still alive?" LOL!! I saw a very alive Paul in Concert in September 2005. He was AWESOME!!
sorry. forgot to mention Linda Chavez is in refernce to threads about high food prices.

Best? who knows?....I like Paul Newman's
Paul Newman's
jm
Paul Newman's all the way!!!
His also seem to be healthier. Love his sauces!
Paul in concert
I saw Paul in 2005 too in Philly; I agree it was spectacular! I went with my husband, but called the kids at home from my cell so they could sing along! I have 4 girls ranging in age from 17 to 5 and they know the Beatles songs. That is so cool your daughter loved it. I wished I had brought mine too.
Paul Potts
He is incredible! I was lucky to catch this when it happened and have since listened to all the recordings of him I can find about a thousand times! I love his name - after he said it, "I'm Paul Potts". I still haven't been able to get his CD, but sure am asap. (sigh). Sometimes after my shift (at midnight) I just have to click over and listen to him once or twice and then I can let the day go and get myself to sleep.
Paul Newman
I feel Paul Newman was/is a man with much integrity and has done so many positive things in his life. I can relate to the blessing of having a long-time marriage (I am half his age but have been married over 20 years to a wonderful guy). I must have seen "Cool Hand Luke" dozens of times in my life. Paul never had to "push" himself towards others to leave a provoking and lasting impression on the positive side. I am glad he is no longer suffering. Now, heaven is able to enjoy those wonderful, full-of-life blue eyes.
Heard of Paul Potts yet?
I just learned of this man today. Google the name Paul Potts and go to the You Tube result, which should be the first result. There are three different videos of him: his audition, his semi-final performance and his winning performance. Tell me you didn't cry, even just a little, when you watched and listened. What an inspiration.
I would treat them like Paul Revere (SM)
Make em history! You are better than that. I used to always try to figure out why someone acted a certain way. . like you I wondered what the problem was. Found out from a wonderful psychologist who helped me over a terribly painful relationship that went bad . . It DOES NOT MATTER WHY. . what matters is that it happened. You need to move on. They are just not nice. I would think you took up bowling in the first place to have a good time! GO FOR IT elsewhere! GOOD LUCK!
Paul Mitchel and Prell
I have same problem. I like to use Paul Mitchel's Tea Tree Oil Shampoo, cuts down on the itching, can sometimes go an extra day. Once in a while I use a clarifying/chelating shampoo that I get from my son's salon. Also, I agree that color treated hair helps. As for where to buy Prell, try the dollar store. Comes in a different style bottle than the old days, now is in light green plastic bottle, probably about 12 oz or so. My mom recently gave me a bottle after cleaning things out and I used it to shave my legs and shampoo my hair.

Any Beatles/Paul McCartney fans out there??
Has anyone ever seen Paul McCartney in concert??
That would be Paul and Carla Bernardo up in Canada...
And, yep, they stalked, tortured and killed (while videotaping) their victims. Carla's now a free woman who just had a baby, as scary as that thought may be.
Be careful, Emily Ayn!!!
Thanks for that tip on Baby Alive!
I was wondering such! My daughter's birthday is in two weeks, and guess what she's asking for? More food and diapers for Baby Alive! Poor Baby Alive, she hasn't been fed since the day after Christmas! She'll be so happy when birthday time comes!
Baby Alive
You bet!!! My 5-year-old loves Baby Alive. We are on our second extra package of food (10 pack). The cost of diapers was getting crazy so I gave it a shot. You have to adjust the pretty tightly but $7.00 for 40 diapers is so much better than $4.88 for 6! I am wondering if you can used baking soda and water for food? Good Luck!
My Mom got my Baby Alive from
a yard sale, but I loved her anyway! I could only play with her in the backyard on the picnic table, or maybe I just chose to do so??? lol Anyhow, we had great times and I'll never forget her, ever! 
Baby Alive
Me too! I will be 40 next September. Wonder what became of my original? 
He's been found alive
suspect not in custody yet
you're still alive
You are still alive... thats a good thing!!
Sexiest Men Alive
Lets come up with our own MTStars list of "Sexiest Men Alive" Who would you put on the list? I'll start.
Donny Osmond
Kurt Russell
Robert Redford
Ray Liota
sexiest man alive
Viggo Mortensen
sexiest man alive
I have to also, definitely, put in a plug for my husband. I've been with him 22 years, and he's hot as well as considerate/kind, sexy, and not afraid to show emotion. Of course, he also knows I have a fondness for Viggo (Mortensen), especially as Aragorn.
I once transported a pony for Paul Anka's wife.

Baby Alive doll
 Here's a tip if you bought your daughter a Baby Alive doll for Christmas. Go to Wal-mart and buy the White Cloud newborn size diapers, 40 to a pack -- they fit better than the Baby Alive doll diapers and they don't leak! Much cheaper way to go if your little one feeds her new baby as much as mine dones.
I had a Baby Alive when I was little, and I am almost 40 now, LOL. I loved her! nm

Baby Alive Doll
I am so pleased you were able to find one! My daughter told her grandparents that is what she wanted and they waited until the last minute and of course the dolls were sold out. I went to Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve of all days and they had gotten a small shipment in. There were only a few dolls on the shelf and I was able to get one. People were taking them off the shelf as I was standing there looking for the least damaged box. I had a Baby Alive as a child, my oldest had the one from the 90s and now my youngest has one. It seems to have become a tradition around here. LOL
yep, alive and well. Married almost 29 years now. nm
Y&R Fans -- Nick is alive! :0)
Wonder what the story line will be now? I was hopeful that they didn't kill him off for real.
The one thing that's kept me alive out on the freeway - sm
all these years is leaving a very big space in front of me, and insisting on maintaining it. The obvious reason is that it gives me time to react if something happens up ahead. But actually, the even more important reason, though less obvious, is that it gives the cars to either side of me a 'hole' to duck into if THEY get into trouble. I've seen that one feature prevent more wrecks than I could ever count. It's just as important that a wreck not occur in the lanes to either side, because they can go skidding into your lane. Another reason to leave a big space in front is the number of times people have lost things off of cars or trucks right in front of me! Those items include, but are not limited to, pipes, a ladder or two, a full-sized beer keg, lawn chairs, a HOT TUB, tires (which tend to start bouncing along at about windsheild-height...), wood, sheet-rock, AND.... once on the Ventura Freeway in Los Angeles, someone lost a full-sized TRACTOR off of a trailer right in front of me. So yeah, I like my saftey space in front!
I see Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge is alive and well...sm
God bless us, everyone!
...umm...no...i wasn't alive in 1958

My uncle's sister worked as Paul Anka's assistant
and got us free tickets to a show in Vegas :)
ever heard of Fabian, Frankie Avalon, Paul Anka?

I LOVED my Baby Alive when I was a little girl! NM
s
the man raped and buried a child alive
and the question encouraged him to have an excuse or reason for doing what he did.
What a story this has been. I pray this child is still alive. I SM
have been following it on Nancy Grace and something is definitely wrong with the story the mother of this child is giving.
St. Vincent De Paul Society is good. Volunteers administer the program.
