when i just don't feel like or don't have time to cook, we have something quick, ie soup or sandwich or breakfast, ie eggs or waffles.

I have been wanting to do this, but may I ask...sm
Is the measurment taken over your existing bra or other clothing? Being shy, not sure I could go through with it otherwise. It seems like a really good idea, though.
Should have been NOT wanting to work
NM
I have been wanting to try nutrisystem
and like you said it seems to be a no brainer but I was afraid of the expense and someone told me that the food was horrible. Is this true?
I understand you not wanting
to make excuses for his bad behavior...BUT, think of what message that would be sending to the daughter. It would be saying, you don't matter all that much around here. We don't respect you or any of your friends. Would you then expect her to have respect for others? The husband is an adult and should know how to conduct himself properly, if not, learn. I would have pulled out my own money and said, "Buy her what she would like to drink" and then I would have layed into him when the friend was gone. No, I wouldn't let him pull that cr*p around me again and treat my son or daughter with such disregard.
I can't imagine anyone wanting
to be contacted by you.
Wanting to invest but what to do
I would like to get input from others who have money in stocks, bonds and such. have some money that I would like to invest. I would like to find something that is not in any way financially unsound. I know I could put in the bank in a CD but do not think I would make as much on it if I used in other ways. Does anyone have any savings that are more or less safe proof and can you tell me what kind of investing you do. Thanks.
i concur, as far as you said as wanting her as my own doc; however,
I think with all the medical information we are bombarded with everynight on the evening and morning news, she is definitely one to listen to with at least one ear.
I think you are an inspiration for wanting to do this....sm
 I guess a lot of us can relate; I have 2 or 3 people from my past that have moved far away and I have no way of finding them right now, but please believe me, I truly want to do the same thing, go to them and make peace, to say be able to forgive each other and leave things on good terms. Regrets and guilts can slowly eat away, and it is good for your own personal health to do this, you must feel so much better. WE all mess up, we all need forgiveness now and then, or to grant forgiveness. You are a lovely person with integrity, honor, and caring to do this, such a lovely post to read!!!
I've been wanting one of those every since they came out.(nm)

Wanting a vacation now
My husband never wanted to go on any vacations. So, when the kids were young, my kids and I went on a vacation every year. We either drove or one time took the train to the Grand Canyon from Chicago. Not once did my husband go with us. We went twice to Disney and had such a wonderful time. My kids are now grown, and I really miss those vacations. My husband missed out a lot.
Let me tell you what is up with not wanting to see that long lost
A lot of times people feel maybe someone will take their place. I am so thankful I had a stepmom that I truly loved and got along with. I would think most of the time just the opposite. Having said that, the spouse comes FIRST regardless of a long lost child wanting to come into a persons life that they may not be welcomed in the first place. If I had any inkling that someone did not want to see/know me, I would NEVER think another thought about them.
There is a difference in not wanting to be in the limelight and
your spouse not knowing the details of your life. I don't particularly care about being in the limelight, either, but telling my spouse about my education (or anything else for that matter) is not the limelight. That's simply communication with the person who should be my best friend, my confidante, the one person I can always count on. I agree, your tax lady was wrong to imply that he was slow. I'm afraid if my husband hedged about something, it would throw a red flag for me and I've known him since 1977. He might not willingly tell everything that he did in his past, but where he went and how long he went to school is nothing to be secretive about. JMO. 
Good job! For anyone still wanting to guess
I just learned today of the second, similar answer. So, keep trying if you like!
I don't blame you for not wanting a woman
I am a massage therapist (not practicing right now), and I know how it can affect guys (when doing normal professional work ... nothing funky). - I doubt your hubby would be too keen on a male working on him though. : )
Maybe you could do a bit of a strip tease for him or even just whisper in his ear about how hot he is.
I'm just doing a simple, sweet card and a $5.00 scratch-off lottery ticket with a big heart on it ... and probably a bit of hanky-panky. Not to promote drinking, but if you are a bit inhibited, you could drink just a bit to take the edge off (a shot or so). We seem to have extra fun when I do that.
Not wanting to stop for gas and then driving on fumes SM
in hopes of reaching the pumps in time! 
While you wait, not wanting to give meds, he is

Sounds familiar with hubs not wanting any more
cats around. I had an older girl and hubs brought home 2 young guys (he thought when the older one died the 2 younger would take her place, not true of course but he thought that). The older girl died and before long I spoke with him about another kitty. I have loads of room, work is ideal for pets around, he travels so they are loads of company for me but he said absolutely not. Ok, my housekeeper called me 1 day, said kitty up a tree, she would be over when she got it down and I asked her to bring with her as she could not keep. Instant love, not only with me but hubs. I told him the cat had shown up at my house meowing and running from the dog. Well, that was true- she had shown up at the door and had been running from the dog, just not at my home. Gina, my kitty, is now his best friend, follows him around the home, comes for petting and stays in whichever room he is in. It is kitty love for him now.
very common for anyone wanting a life, LOL! i have one and my DH is kinda jealous of me using it so
agree, sex toy parties are great fun and there are actually a lot of things for men there too for themselves or to use on you also. tell him he ought to be thankful it is a toy to enjoy and you are out playing the field, lol. but FYI, get a brief case and lock it up!!! i have had my kids find mine too and it was a double header so it was really, really embarrassing. DH bought it years ago and i only used one end but it was still great.
All this food had me wanting to share something quick for you for a spread. sm
A GREAT sandwich spread. I was at my local deli the other day and they were making ham and swiss sandwiches on whole grain with a sweet, perfectly tasting spread on it. I asked the lady behind the counter what that "spread" on the bread was and she said she just mixed honey mustard and mayo (equal amounts), stirred it up in a bowl, and spread it on the bread. I've been using that recipe all week. I immediately came home, made me a batch, stored it and now use it. My 5 year old son LOVES his sandwiches now. It's a different taste, a little sweet, and wonderful!
I am in total agreement. 13 years old and wanting to date - no way!!..
One of the problems is, as a previous poster write, is DRAMA. Some girls live for the DRAMA (i come from a family of six girls). These kids (but not all) want to and in some ways are forced to grow up too danged fast and it can lead to life-long problems if they do not have a strong mom/dad or just an extended strong family support system. The media has played and contuinues to play a role in the evolution of our teenagers as well (MTV, etc). That is why it is important to keep these kids busy and involved in activities because it is helpful,. JMO..
Wanting to suggest a few movies this season. Right now the kids are watching sm
The Chronicles of Narnia and it is such a GOOD movie. Highly suggest this. Also, Elf with Will Ferrell is cute.
Polar Express is great also. With 3 little ones at home, anyone have any suggestions on good "holiday" type movies that won't bore a 4 year old? Thanks!
If wanting to teach my son our own family values makes me a bigot..then so be it. sm
I will gladly wear that label. Flame away if you want.
I will NEVER let some school teacher try to foist her own opinions on my child. And to do this on school time??
The bible flat out says that man should not lie with man or woman with woman. If that school district is an example of what passes for family values in SF, no wonder Michael Savage calls it San Fran Sicko. I have to agree with him. Pretty dress or no pretty dress.
Ladies, are you wanting long, lush lashes, listen up
I just heard on our local news channel yesterday about what people found out when they used Lumigan (used for glaucoma) was that their eyelashes got longer and longer and lusher (is that a word??) the more they used. They said when applied to the base of the eyelashes, tops and bottoms, they grow so long that people think you have extensions, even going up to the eyebrows if continuing with the applications. Now, this is not inexpensive- saying 100-125 dollars a month but if you can afford and you have straggly looking eyelashes, how many would go for that? Ah, the price of beauty.
Oh, it's not a matter of wanting to pick and choose the data I "like" - if I want (sm)
to see that being done I need only drop down one forum in the list. ;-) Plenty of opportunities to fill that void there, if one chooses to.
No, I'm just not blindly accepting of whatever is proffered as valid data, and must -- as should we all -- consider the possible bias of those presenting same.
My married daughter is wanting us to move real close to them. (sm)
Right now we live about 3 hours away. She has been married 4 years and just bought a house in a beautiful mountain area. We had always talked about retiring in the mountains but have another 10 years to work. I have 3 other married kids. Just wondered if anyone moved next door to their kids and how everything worked out.
Hubs did window cleaning as a teen & always got swamped w/folks wanting them

sure we cook for the dog
he does still have the food we cook mixed into some dry kibble.
For dinners he will have cooked meat, usually chicken or steak strips, sometimes burger mixed with something else, vegetables, cheese and potatoes (his favorites). For breakfast he gets a whole grain granola type cereal mixed in with a little yogurt or pumpkin.
I know a lot of ppl who are cooking for their pets now. I always thought my dog was just being "spoiled" until I started asking around who else was cooking for their fur babies :)
How to cook
I'm 27, moved out of the house at 19, but still don't know how to cook!
The thought of making a whole meal for just me seems like too much effort, but I'm getting a little bored of the melt-cheese-on-carbs kind of life.
Any thoughts?
....nm up there! Got my used BOS II from there, too. Cook

im not much of a cook, but...
what about baked ziti? It's a change from plain pasta or lasagne/spaghetti. I was just asking my boyfriend last night for it (since he makes it). it's been awhile. We are a young couple so we seem to do the same things every week!! (Tacos, spaghetti, steak) Last night we had pork chops, rice, and broccoli. Tonight we are barbequing hamburgers..
The thing I like to do is twice baked potatoes. It's the only thing I really ever do from scratch, so you of course can add/take away ingredients. I'm very plain so mine are very plain but bake your potatoes... then
I melt a tablespoon of butter, add chopped mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper.
then when the potatoes are done scoop out the middle, add a little of the melted stuff, add some shredded cheese and sour cream (total will be about 2 cups and 16 oz sour cream)... mix and then add more, mix... scoop back into potatoes and put the rest of the cheese on top, bake for 15 minutes!
hope that made sense, ive never written down my recipe before :)
okay, I was looking for a certain cook
on PBS who was making an apple dessert in a cast iron skillet about a year or so ago, but I guess they are no longer showing him; an older white haired man with a full white mustache. Anyway, I remember him saying don't use McIntosh or eating apples because they have so much moisture in them, they break down in heat. So I stumbled across another site that really goes into the different varieties and uses. Hope this helps; and he likes granny smith, too.

I was in the bathroom with a cook at a SM
restaurant who didn't wash her hands. I was totally disgusted. I loved this restaurant. I went to the manager and told her what happened. She ran back to the kitchen and screamed--loudly--at the cook in their language and then came back to me and apologized and said the cook said she washed her hands when she got back in the kitchen, but that she would make sure none of her employees ever left the bathroom again without washing their hands.
I used to work in fast food as a teenager and even if I just went in the bathroom to look in the mirror, I would wash my hands just in case a customer should come in and suspect I had gone to the bathroom without washing my hands.
So, in short...lol...that is one of my pet peeves as well!
Chickadee
I do not cook but hubby does and
we can buy groceries for very little. How he uses the food is amazing. He can take 1 chicken breast and make a complete meal out of that. He usually fixes brown rice or pasta of some kind and adds this piece of meat cut into small pieces and adds his herbs, spices or the like to it. When we buy at the store usually get, say 3 chicken. He has these halved and being as we don't have children at home 1 side will do us- I like the white meat, he likes the dark, works out well. But if you have family, you could try the above- I never feel deprived, much to the contrary, my meals are delicious and never feel I am missing meat. He made a wonderful meal this past week using all kinds of onions, garlic, squash, zuccini (spelling?)and we had this over the rice- delicious! He uses a rice as the base with additions to that, such as cut up tomatoes, garlic, bay leaves and then the toppings. This is a very good way to extend your budget.
Me too! But I cook, he does all the rest : )

Don’t cook at all but when I want something sweet,
will have a piece of cake, pie, candy, ice cream, unlimited but adding sugar to things not only to bread but some vegetables is a big turn off for me. Some in the south eat grits, could not tell you what they taste like, never had those. Eating out as a child never served grits with breakfast (in Chattanooga)and still to this date do not eat- my children raised in another southern state and they like grits. It is funny how certain regions eat different foods, all in what you grew up with, like and such.
Anything YOU don't have to cook always tastes

How about: If I lived here, I'd be the cook!
No one can be a worst cook than me
My husband asks me to stay out of the kitchen as he says, he and I both want to stay healthy! Ok, I do have a previous thingy I just made up, call it Spanish porkchops. How simple is this - I put a family size container of pork chops plus 2 cans of canned tomatos plus 2 large onions all together and cook over medium until the chops are done and tender- oh, I forgot the salt and pepper- but anyway that is something even I can do and I love it but then again I love tomatoes and we eat them all the time.
AI - David Cook
My husband did not like him at all last night. I don't think he likes him period. He said he's very arrogant. My daughter and I have him pegged as the winner, although I didn't think he was as good as usual last night. On Dial Idol.com they have David Cook in the bottom three along with Carly and Syesha (Sorry if these are spelled wrong). I'm not sure what'll happen tonight.
Christy Lee Cook
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels Christy should have already been gone. I guess she is this year's Sanjaya.
YAY 4 DAVID COOK!
I finally picked the "American Idol" winner!!! 
too tired to cook
We just have homemade tostadas and microwave them. You can put anything on them and there are no dishes, pots or pans.
That is how I cook mine.

how do you cook your chicken?
are you baking it or on the stove?
my sister used to make us rice and teriyaki chicken and i loved it. im not so much a cook, but would like to do this as it seems so simple
Diabetic cook book.. sm
I need some suggestions on a diabetic cook book that has relatively simple recipes. Any help would be great!
Can someone tell me how to cook it? Breakfast food, right?
nm
Anyway cook using Rachel Ray's recipes? sm
I'm always looking to try something different and her 30 minute meals sure look tasty and easy.
Another frozen dinner. ( I don't cook.)
:)
I can't cook, so take this with a "grain of salt," sm
and maybe someone already posted this, but the best meatloaf is made with stove top stuffing as the filler...
Good luck.
Why does everyone get up so early to cook a turkey? - sm
the only think I can figure is you must eat it at noon. We would get up around 8, make the stuffing, prepare the bird, stuff it and put it in the oven between 10-11. This would be an 18-21 pound turkey, cook it 20 mins per pound, so we would pull it out about 5, then make the homemade gravy (took a good 30 mins to do that), prepare the mashed potatoes, and eat about 6. In between we have a relaxing day of playing board games, watching football or James Bond movies. All I ever see is, mom got in the middle of the night and put the turkey in the oven before we were even awake......either that was one heck of a big bird or they ate turkey for breakfast or lunch. (or else it came out dry as a rock).
