Water here, too. I fill water bottles halfway and freeze them
so I have ice water for the entire day. It's easier than trying to cram ice cubes down the little mouths of the bottles. I confess to having coffee, Earl Grey tea and a cola today because I'm too tired from the idiots who were rodding their cars around in front of the house from midnight until 3:00 a.m. last night. Oh, well. At least I'm off today.
try cinnamon.

good idea with the potpourri, love the scent of cinnamon
 I also like peach and orange smells too, but they never seem to last with the candles or other glade air fresheners, and the expense is too much. I have two animals and a litter box to cover. Those air things with the fan do not work, nor does the thing that squirts out scent periodically, waste of money.
turkey, rice and oatmeal
Don't know if it would help the gas problem, but when my dog got real old, he didn't want dog food, and I gave him turkey (vet said turkey very easy to digest) and rice, and he loved oatmeal. I'm all for giving an old dog whatever makes him happy.
Oh, I bet oatmeal, honey and aspirin would be divine!
Usually I just have coffee. Sometimes I'll have oatmeal. Today, DH is cooking again!
We're having breakfast "hash" with scrambled eggs, ham, hash browns, cheese, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and red pepper in one skillet. Whole wheat toast and chipotle Tabasco.
I found that oatmeal works better than bread crumbs - moister
Happy cooking.
Apple
Mac does have one that runs XP and all your old PC software. Go down and check it out. The lovely part is that they are virtually virus-free. Yay.
If you get a PC find someone in your town who will help you build it yourself. You will pay less than half-price that way. Just get enough RAM and the right processor for the software you intend to run and you are set. I don't care anymore what name is on the tower, just so it works and I can afford it. I have wasted thousands on brand names and reputations that went down the hole later on and then had to deal with "customer service" in some place in BFE that was PREVIOUSLY 24/7/365 and now was Monday-Friday 8-5 unless there is a holiday or the boss wears green khakis or there is a sale at Macy's, etc. Or they have been bought out by someone who honors your warranty in a "different fashion" and it is of little or no help. Or, the one where they tell you go to the wbesite, but you can't because you can't get online and they tell you to call back after you do that (get on line). I say no more - they aren't getting my money anymore! Look at all the $$ you will save and then you can get a killer monitor and other stuff with all the cash you save. You can order all the parts from discount PC suppliers and all you need are a couple of tools.
Good luck! Save Money!
Apple a day
I recently heard that an apple in the morning will wake you and give you more energy than coffee. I have yet to try this. Anyone hear of this or try it? I guess it also "keeps the doctor away." Maybe tomorrow.
American as apple pie
Many years ago I heard someone quote a prophetic statement - "The East shall look to the West and the West shall look to the East." I just never thought I would live to see such a rapid switch in my time. Let's see, we have Bush who sports an all American personna. I can't begin to count how many times he uses the word(s) "American way of life," yet never in the history of this country are we seeing hundreds of thousands of jobs in America in all fields given away to the far East and China. Even our military, the Navy, is considering having their fleets built in China! We fight a war with much of it under private contractors, we send our private information to third world countries but our leaders are touting the Privacy Information Act, huh? How can I support my president in his "all American as-apple-pie" agenda when he has demonstrated no regard for the American worker, our healthcare mess, or our jobs? The front door looks good, but the back door is something else. We work for big corrupt unethical corporations who require us, in our case, the lowly transcriptionist, to declare our integrity, and almost every day we hear scandal after scandal from these mega corporations who only get a slap on the hand for their unethical practices. I don't know about you, but it does bother me to work for or with a company that has no integrity. I'm not saying I work for one now, but it bothers me that so many people have to do so to keep food on the table.
apple juice !
supposedly a natural stimulant, and it works pretty well for me in a pinch.
Apple - Just Rotten!
Puns inside the post down a bit. Better than this rotten Apple pun. Fun!

We're in the process of making a cookbook at our church, and I put this one in. My MIL makes it, and it is so good!
how D as in David A as in apple
R as in Robert E as in elephant you complain about an a resident! Hasn't he earned the right to be here (just like the ESL's you came to love). I'm sure his ancestors were ESL's, right?
How's it feel to have someone blast your chance to vent a little?
Sounds like a bad apple.
say it is indicative of all MTs, just this one with a very unprofessional attitude. Maybe she has mental or emotional problems. I would cut her loose.
Thanks, Apple. I'll check it out! nm

Yep. It's the Adam's apple dictators

Apple Pie A La Mode!!! Go ahead, flame me LOL

crab apple jelly don't know recipe.

Keep a shallow bowl of apple cider vinegar on the counter.
This is something my mom did - worked for her, works for me. I set a small, shallow bowl of vinegar on the back of the stove or tucked into a corner on the cupboard. It cuts the odor down to almost nothing and keeps it gone. Plus, it's a whole lot cheaper than the over-perfumed stuff from the store.
It's my opinion that orange juice is tastier than apple juice.

WATER and MORE WATER

A water gun would and should get a kid SM
disciplined, IMO. It's a toy and should stay home and not come to school.
At my grandson's daycare they get kicked out for making guns out of Legos! No guns in school anywhere, any time, any shape, form or fashion.
Lord, we made bazookas out of big sticks, rifles out of smaller ones, and handguns out of little bent ones. Then we proceeded to kill each other all over the place - the difference is that we didn't do it when we grew up.
Coffee and a big cup of ice water so far...nm

Yes, and that same jug of water costs how much after it's
been paid for with tax dollars, hauled in on trucks, and handed out by National Guardsmen and FEMA workers who are being paid and are away from their own families? That little jug of water costs more to the taxpayers than Perrier.
yes, and running water too.

The largest end goes in the water. nm

try rubbing cigar ash into the watermark
Don't put in dishwasher, water gets too hot, but you
can wash in the tub or shower. I've washed mine 3 times in the shower. I don't use anything, just hot water and run over it a few times, let it sit for a bit and then run water again to get anything really sticky off. I then shake it upside down really good and then place it upside down on a towel near a vent to dry. It takes me 3 days to get it dried out good. I've used it in 2 days and kept getting errors, so let it dry a third day and no problems.
You can take a warm damp cloth and wipe over the keyboard. I would suggest unplugging it from the computer so you don't reprogram something. I also take an index card and run it down between the keys. You'd be surprised how much dust/animal hair you get out. I also turn my keyboard over and thumb it a couple of times on my tray and that gets out a lot of crumbs.
lots of water before eating
I haven't tried this myself, but I recently read an article about two very overweight men who lost tons of weight (not quickly, but gradually). Both exercised every day, starting off with very little and gradually working it up, and one of them said he also drank something like a liter of water before each meal, which filled up his stomach so he got full fast and it really helped him cut back on how much he was eating. I thought it sounded logical.
I really wish I could make myself drink more water..
but as a hazard of being a southern girl, I drink tea all day like it's going out of style 
Freezing water in bottles
It's great that you drink ice water, but I read that freezing water in plastic bottles leaches chemicals from the plastic into your water (potential cancer cause). Better to use those new ice cube trays that make finger-shaped ice cubes!
chug a glass of water

Your argument does not hold water.
A hurricane in those areas of Texas may indeed have never been so far inland, but that's the nature of natural disasters. For 4 years now Homeland Security has been trying to drill it into the minds of the American people that you need to be prepared for ANYTHING. Maybe next time it will be a terrorist hit. Maybe an earthquake along New Madrid. Don't you believe your survival should be dependent on yourself? Or do you expect the govt to swoop in and take care of it for you? The sheeple need to wake up. Get prepared and stay prepared!
I drink only unsweetened tea or water...

Have you ever made those water candles?
When I was a young teenager, we would make the water candles in a bucket of water. Got burned more than I care to think about. Made some pretty awesome-looking candles though!
Holy cow, wonder what is in that poor cat's water??

How is THAT warm water? hmmm? LOL..nm

sorry but reaons don't hold water...
"Leasing also allows you to get more car for the money " nooooo...leasing allows you to drive more car than you can actually afford. It's a version of living beyond your means.
"Lease payments are much lower than buying" talk about needing instant gratification! Leasing per mile is always more expensive than ownership. You forget, at the end of the lease, you give the car back. At the end of the same $$ spent in car payments, you could sell the car and get MONEY back.
"You will always have a car payment (which we would anyway)." And you will always live paycheck to paycheck, but then maybe you would anyway!
"Always be within warranty and only pay for gas and basic maintenance." There's other ways to do this. You can buy a car and trade it in every five years and only pay for gas, maintenance and be within warranty.
"Then again, you will always have a new car" - yea, that someone else owns, not you.
Not flaming, but the rationale behind some of these comments just burns me up. Buying a new car from a dealer is the worse way to do it - except leasing a new car from a dealer. For Pete's sake, think about it! Obviously they are making a ton of money off of you-- otherwise they wouldn't do it!!!
Save your money, watch for a cream puff in the classifieds, buy something with 30,000 miles or less, with cash. Then you can laugh all the way to your garage.
Just to mention why I think I'm in a position to give this advice? We own our home free and clear (7 years old, worth $500,000), own 2 cars and a truck that's paid for. Our latest vehicle is a 2002 Toyota Tacoma pick up. $33,000, paid $14,500 cash for it. Have over 200,000 in our IRA's. And guess what. I'm an MT and he's a machinist. No corporate paychecks here. There's a way to manage your money, or your money will manage you.
What kind of water damage is what I would like to know sm..
Was it leaking from basement walls into basement or did someone leave water running and cause a flood, or was it sewer backup, or what is a natural flood? Any kind of water damage really stinks!! We had the unfortunate situation happen to us years ago when their was flooding all around us, but we did fine, that is, until the sewer system backed up into our basement about 4 feet high! This was so gross, I don't think I'll ever get over it, however, we had it professionally cleaned and disinfected and threw EVERYTHING out, so hopefully that solved any health issues, so we are told. Anyway, we invested $600 into a backup valve so that it will never happen again. I have wanted to move ever since just because it was so gross and I can't get the image out of my head, but 4 years later, we are still here, kids and all. So, the moral of the story I am trying to get at is this....they were supposed to be upfront and honest about the water damage problem and they were not, which leads me to believe that they have something to hide. Therefore, you should potentially be able to get any money back because of this if you can prove that it was withheld information on the contract. If you just love the house that much, go ahead with the inspection and find out what kind of water damage it was. If it checks out with inspector, I would strongly suggest you have it professionally cleaned/disinfected to be safe, and expect it to maybe happen again and consider that thoroughly. Personally, if we ever go to sell this house, I will be up front about it because even though we seemed to have fixed the problem, it is very possible it can happen again. Hope this all makes sense. Good luck.
oh, that just made my eyes water!!! (sm)
I can't imagine with all of the toys that are available that someone would need to turn to fruits and veggies for thrills. OMG, you know, potatoes are the worst smelling ick when they start rotting. I wonder if the poor doc who removed it puked. and it was sprouting??? blech!
Spilled water on my Dictaphone...sm
C-phone. Not a large amount, but now none of the buttons work. Dial tone sounded shrill when I picked up the handset, but that has stopped now and the sound is normal. Anyone out there expeienced this? The one time I put a glass of water near it, and I bumped it with my elbow.
ditto. too much water boils the meat.
read recipes for crock pots.
I take mine apart before it gets the soap and water bath. nm

also the toxicity of the water they are sloshign in is scary too

LOLOL. Women obviously store more WATER than men.

Your logic loses water in several ways. SM
Wal-Mart, years ago, was famous for only selling American-made products. THAT promoted capitalism on many levels, and RIGHT HERE IN THE US, not China, which is where they buy most of their goods. So who is getting rich here? It certainly isn't companies in the US who provide goods to Wal-Mart because very few of their goods come from the U.S. Also, they pay their employees very low and treat them badly. They have at least one class action discrimination suit against them. And let's not forget the numerous suits for hiring illegal aliens to clean their stores and LOCKING THEM IN!!! Also, did you even read the article Rad Guy posted? If you did, and you still defend them, even as a devil's advocate, that says a lot about you. By the way, I don't shop there and haven't for a long time.
Try a slice of fresh lemon in water.
It changes the taste completely.
You also can't enjoy the water parks in December. nm
