When 2 cars ride side by side on the interstate...sm
and block traffic so nobody can pass. I will get irate over this. I don't know where people's brains are.
There's one side, the other side, and the truth
And boy is it true.
I will say you sound like my aunt, who never speaks up, gets walked all over and then cries about it later.
Her kids/grandkids have no idea why she is always depressed, they think nothing of doing whatever they want without regard for her because she hasn't expressed an interest or opinion on anything and they don't know any better.
Yes, they use her. Yes, they could do things for her, but she never asks anything or says anything, so they don't press it, because it's always been that way. And she's a martyr, so it'd upset her pattern if things actually changed.
And the truth (and maybe reconciliation) lies in the middle somewhere.
Sad.
This looks like a bombe table
and is not thin. I wanted just 1 thing to sit on it and that was a vase with magnolia flower arrangement in it in front of a very large mirror behind it. What is the MDF?? thanks for all these postings.
Big fire pit with table
and snowshoes.
Should I use a table cloth or
I have a very pretty dining room table. Always before when having company over I have had a tablecloth on (mostly because my kittycats had put some minor scratches on the table which I had removed). I am using chargers this year under the plates and was wondering, should I just let the beauty of the wood show through or should I use the cloth once again?
I say no table cloth!
I just had a dinner party and did not use a table cloth and got so many compliments on how nice the table looked. Always nice to try new things.
Refinishing top of my entry table
Ok, messed up the top of the table with paper that has stuck to it being as liquid wasted on a part of the top. Now just cleaning that up is not doing the job. I think if wood probably an inexpensive and might just be the plywood type stuff. I need to know what steps I should take about getting the sticky stuff off, what kind of stain/paint do I use for something like this? It is wood like color finish, any ideas?
No it wasn't, it was pulled off the table to be
reworked and submitted again in January. It won't stop the BYB, they will pay for the licence cause they are making money on all those poor dogs/cats they keep in those cages. That is disgusting and it is inhumane, but those kind of people are deceitful and rotten to begin with and they always find a way.
Mine is to step away from the table....LOL!

We've just used an artificial table-top tree
since getting the dogs. Two of my close relatives have terrible allergies to Christmas trees, and my allergies have been decreasing for years. I wouldn't want to do anything that might get them going again. Plus one of my dogs has inhalant allergies, so it might mess her up too. I believe I read that the growers are spraying something on the trees now that many people are sensitive to. I don't know if it's a fire retardant or something that keeps the needles on longer. I read it a few years ago.
We even set the table ahead of time w/all the serving

chocolate. Slots or table games?

Have you see a cardiologist? A tilt table test should
My daughter has this and has had a pacemaker since age 15.
Have the spells been occurring more frequently? Please consider seeing a cardiologist as a first step, at least. Good luck to you.
problem with ants on my kitchen table
I want to thank whoever recommended Terro. Somebody that my daughter works with gave her some; it is the best. We have tried everything else and I do mean everything else from fogging the house, to raid to wiping down the table completely, so again I want to thank you. All of the ants love it, which is great.
My cat bumps into things like corners and table legs.

You mean "Upchucked" coffee...i have a friend who used their espresso to stain a table
and it came out pretty good. Now Peet's - THAT'S REAL COFFEE!!
All I know is that when I had Dish, if we
had 1 raindrop I lost service. Got rid of it the minute my contract was up.
Dish
I have never had any problems with Dish - they even let me have a package most people don't know about - and probably don't want. - I pay $6.00 a month and gey my local ABC, CBC, NBC & Fox channels - and for some reason I get another channel that keeps changing - right now it is the Hallmark Channel - sometimes it is the biography channel and sometimes Animal Planet -this is a good plan for us because we are trying to cut down on watching TV - and it helps us save $.
We used to have dish
Don't know what Direct TV is, but we used to have Dish. Excellent service. The only problem was when it would get windy it would knock it off track and DH would have to readjust it, but was no big deal. Very easy and only took a few secs to move back into place. Never had a problem with interruptions otherwise. I loved it and would get it again. We now have cable cos it was the best deal to get cable/internet/phone all in one package.
Had all 3 and Dish is my fav!!!
Cable in our area stinks. Direct was better than cable, but not near as good as Dish. The options available on Dish are so much better than Direct. Little things, like being able to check the guide while still watching a show and looking up the info on another program and how far ahead you can check the schedules. It's been about 6 years since we switched from Direct to Dish, so maybe they've changed, but I'd go for Dish. They are by far the best.
Not a dish but...
I have a box for chocolates and a basket on my computer tower under my desk with a bag of jelly beans in it. Everyone started raiding my chocolate so I had to get creative and hide it in another part of the house entirely. lol If anyone else has this problem, the bathroom is great! Its up on top of my tallest cabinet behind a stack of decorative towels. :)
There is teacher's side of story, kid's side of story

How about a smaller dish? nm

you forgot - any mayonnaise containing dish
any dish with mayonnaise cannot be eaten if left out, uncovered, for ANY length of time.....
there are many dishes one cannot eat if left out....general rule is no more than 2 hours on a buffet table or any table for that matter, in my opinion.....cheese comes to mind too left out.....
food safety is very important and the USDA allows certain things that also shouldn't be allowed....
ever read Consumer Reports? I read in there that the govt (USDA) *allows* a certain amount of rodent feces and rodent hair in things like cottage cheese and canned tuna (the latter I love).....and I read that a long time ago....
better to be safe than sorry.......

Cable tv versus dish
Can anybody give me their experiences with cable televison or dish, specifically Dish Network or DirectTV?
I am considering getting one of these but don't know which one to go with. Thank you!
have had all three, Dish Network superior
if you have an HDTV I would not recommend cable at all. It may not be true for all cable companies but Adelphia looked horrid on ours. Had Dish Network years ago and they were horrible in the customer service department...never again!!!
Do you keep a candy dish on your desk?
What's inside it?
I have one on my desk, but it usually only has sugar-free gum in it. Boring I know, but I hate it when my kids get cavities and since they raid my dish all the time, I have to take precautions. I also don't want to tempt myself all day long with sugar. Sometimes I get sugar-free Werther's candy or sugar-free lemonade candy but those bags are so tiny they don't last long.
Use every last drop of dish soap...sm
I don't have a dishwasher so I have to use liquid soap. I never throw the bottle away because I can't squeeze anymore out. When I'm running my next dishwater, I run water in the bottle and use every last drop. The cap even has enough residue on it for 1 load. Same goes for shampoo and conditioner. Even laundry soap.
I'll often use shampoo for body wash. If you use Suave or VO5 it's usually only .99 a bottle and when it's on sale for less than that I'll buy a few bottles. It's a lot cheaper than bodywash.
I try to do errands and appointments on the same day. Mapped out right so I save gas.
Never buy infant, toddler, preschool kids clothes brand new. Buy at thrift, second hand stores or garage sales. They outgrow them faster than the bank statement arrives. They also tend to stain and ruin clothes pretty darn easily and quickly.
What is your favorite potluck dish?

I have Dish Network and I saw it just fine.
Even recorded it. Too bad I don't know how to send it to you.
Oh, why not try a southern dish, possum
I absolutely have heard of people that have ate this, heard it is terribly greasy. Rabbit is another thing as is squirrel but I have never had, to me it would seem like eating my pet cat. Have heard of all the above except yattle. My mother visiting Mexico years ago told me of having a dish with unborn goat (guess they aborted the babies from the mother goats, ewwwwwww)but then she also ate things like pickled pig feet, pork brains, cow tongue and tripe. My brother and I mostly grossed out. Surprised she did not eat chittlings! Over the years I have stuck to more main stream here in the US and presently hubby and I eat a lot of chicken, not because of it being a more economical meat but more the way they are raised, that being more organic.
Let's Dish the Real Housewives!
I don't think I've ever had a more uncontrollable urge to stick my fist through a television set than when Kelly is on.
Kelly is such a low class, immature, little piece of trash! I never even heard of the b!itch until Housewives this year. I'm not a big fan of Bethany but her little speech she gave her at the bar (after being a half hour late!) really boiled my blood!
I don't think I've ever hated somebody on TV this much before. She totally disgusts me. I hope Bravo drops her off on whatever corner they picked her up after this season is over.
Anyway, moving on.
Ramona is such a jerk to Alex and Simon. Seems she's really holding on to the past. Her husband Mario is no better. He grates on my nerves.
I just love Jill. Can't get enough of her! Alex and Simon have really grown on me.
It'll be interesting next week, Re: the Countess giving her 'talk' to all the middle school students on what being a Countess means, all the while knowing what a train wreck she is now!
Deep dish; Romance or comedy? nm
Like the Voom programming on Dish Network
our favorites. We were crushed when they stopped showing Voom programing
I put Dawn dish soap in the dishwasher
I did not realize laundry soap and dishwasher detergent do not make bubbles. I didn't have any dishwasher detergent so decided to just a few drops of Dawn. Suds came out of the top of the dishwasher and all over the kitchen. For a few drops, it filled the kitchen. You would think it would be easy to clean up but it was terrible. Soap suds can't just be mopped up, especially when they are 3 inches tall. lol
like they say, revenge is a dish best served cold (nm)
I know this will sound so dumb, but, do you cook the stuffing before using it in this dish? Thanks!

Your one all-time-favorite Christmas dish and present?
Red velvet cake
Round-trip plane ticket home to my family for Christmas
we have direct, and we can look at the guide while watching tv; DISH STINKS
we started out with dish, had it for 9 years. They would give all kinds of equipment and deals to their new customers but not us - their loyal customers for 9 years. Our remote was being held together with tape for crying out loud and couldn't get the networks with our dish because it was so old, but did they care?? - no freaking way. They only started caring once we switched to direct. Then they repeatedly called our house, asking why we switched and offering us deals. It got real old fast repeating why we switched. So the last time they called i screamed my @$$ off that if they ever called again i was going to sue them for harassment.
It seems like they only care about people who aren't their customers. If you are their customer, they don't give a rat's @$$ about you.
Dish sucks BIG time. But I doubt direct is really that much better. Our equipment with them is just newer, that's all. I can't get cable. I wish there was an alternative.
would love to slap more than a dish towel on his head!!!

No recipe, but just mix it 1/2 and 1/2 and put in covered dish or crock pot. Uncover to brown

In high school, those of us extra-greasy kinds would use dish

I use Dawn dish detergent, shampoo twice. Also use powder before bed on my head
I put the powder on my scalp and work it through the hair close to my head at bedtime. The powder absorbs the oil. This gives me a couple of extra days between shampoos.
Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!
Thanksgiving
Do not stress about your house. Celebreate your family and friends.
Last year I looked around our table and wondered how many would be back. It looks like everyone might be.
Our mother is quite ill and no improvement expected (except heaven). One sister-in-law has pancreatic cancer. One brother has prostate cancer and the hormones caused an MI. Another brother just had AAA sugery. This list goes on.
Last year I did not expect everyone to be alive in November of 2008 so I just choose to be grateful we will be together again. 
I think thanksgiving would be the
perfect time to make it clear you are NOT joining in the free for all giftgiving. Maybe you could make their favorite desserts or breads instead or think of some other inexpensive hand made gifts. My sister makes jelly or tamales for the sibs and my brother buys a bottle of wine each (mine is piling up and getting well aged). This is exactly why I tell my 3 boys to buy for their wives and kids. I myself don't (can't) spend much on the kids, but I figure their parents need to have that fun, I've had my turn with my own. And I don't want anything at all, in fact, I wish when someone came over, they would have to take something when they leave! But, like I told one of mine, you are making memories, it will depend on your attitude and not what you spent that the kid remembers later. One might forget that expensive day at an amusement park, but remember years later a plain simple picnic because of the feeling of family fun and closeness. Good luck with your pregnancy, I am sure you are unusually tired already.
