My family made home-made mozzarella,
and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.

I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
We are having lasagna sm
with ground turkey and whole wheat noodles to try to keep it at least a little healthy. I don't cook the noodles so it doesn't take long at all. I triple the turkey mixture receipe mixture and use it again for tacos and then sloppy joes later in the week, or freeze the mixture for another time.
cookies, home made pizza..sm

Go to the www.pamperedchef.com web site and find your stone under products. They will give recipes. 


Is the flat stone?  Cookies come out beautiful, Frozen french fries or tater tots, make your own pizza using frozen bread dough.. there are more options if you have the stone with the sides.

There is a site I have bought lots of home made things from
and that is Etsy, have you heard about that one? I bought everything from soaps from the cake soaps to lotion soaps, bought some beautiful bling plates off there, hand decorated coffee cups for Christmas presents, flower pens also for this past Christmas. I love to look thru there. Go there and see what you think.

and since I'm leaving in a sec and thinking that someone will wonder what this is - it is sirloin meat cut in thin strips marinated in a Korean bar-b-que sauce (amazingly good taste) consisting of soy sauce, fresh garlic, sesame seeds, sugar, and a few other ingredients.

Anyone move from a single family home to mobile home? sm

I own and live in a house in a midwest city in a bad neighborhood (wasn't that bad 11 years ago).  I spent the day waiting for the plumber to come and jackhammer the foundation (slab house, no basement) to find a leaky pipe that is flooding my DD's bedroom. Last week, it was the electrician with quotes for costly repairs.


In the meantime, I've really been thinking about selling out and moving into a mobile home.  Has anyone done this before?  Is a mobile home in a decent park less of a hassle than a regular house?  I'm so tired of cutting the grass and spending $$ to fix things and tired of old flooring and cabinets, etc., that are just too costly to replace.  I'm single with no man to do these things for me and I can't afford a mortgage on a newer house in a good neighborhood.  Some of the pictures I've seen of the mobile homes look really nice and modern on the inside. 


Any advice and comments appreciated.  Thanks!


Well I figure I can make my own hours & be home when the kids are home (sm)
I worked PT in an office for a while but spent most of my money on childcare in the summer. Full-time in an office was just a nightmare and I felt like I missed a whole year of my children's lives. I want to be in control of my schedule so that's why I'm looking into the cleaning thing. Never thought I would want to do that but live and learn! Some of the most intelligent people alive work as carpenters and similar things because they have learned what's really important in life. Whew....off my soapbox now :-) Good luck to you!
Daniel had a home, a very good home...
with someone in my family at one point.

She met her late husband at a club down the freeway from me. It's not a fancy place, like you say.

She does have a real brother though. That was the connection on our part.

I agree, though. It is sad that all this is coming out the way it is. I believe she was a good person...she just had a lot of problems, mainly drugs. What is really sad is that all of this is going to be seen by her daughter one day when she grows up.
Home Alone 1, A Christmas Story, Home for the Holidays, Chevy Chase's Christmas, sm
There "The Gift of the Magi," He sells his gold watch to buy her a comb for her hair and she sells her beautiful long hair to buy him a chain for his gold watch. It used to be on "Short Stories by O'Henry" but that's long gone, long ago. Good moral to the story. I can't stand "It's a Wonderful Life" -- too depressing, especially with banks closing, too intimidating right now!!!

What happens at home stays at home. (nm)
:op


She is home, by that I mean she is 1 mile from her home.
I am the one that moved away.  My brother lives there, but she requires 24-hour nursing care right now, and he is unable to provide that for her.  My son is graduating high school this year and I plan to move back to take care of her, but I just can't until then.  I did tell the adminstrator that they have 24 hours to figure this out, and then we will bring in the police.  I have also threatened to go to the media, and this facility has a very excellent reputation and is run by the Brethren Church, so I would think they might not want bad publicity.  It is a pretty small town and this is one of only a couple of care homes in the area.
esl just made my day
 I just had the best ESL dictator!  He spelled almost every word he had trouble pronouncing and spelled it accurately, spoke slowly and ended the report with, "Thank you so much and have a nice day."    If only they could all be so easy! 
None of this is made up
I don't care if you think I'm weird. My kids and family didn't think it was weird and your opinion doesn't mean anything to me, anyway. Apparently there are people here with an opinion because they have posted so many - I don't care if ya'll want to keep it going. Be my guest.
LOL! You just made my day! :)..nm

Made too much $$$$, had to pay it all
Gosh, that tuition came around often and so did all the books I had to buy, all out of pocket because back then I made more than I should have (we also had a home business that cleared half a million the first year) but I would have loved not to pay out of pocket, I am really cheap on some things, my pockets for example.
ha, ha...that just made me think...take a lap

One of the cutest I made...sm
My kids are too old now but I use to make all their costumes and usually tried to match the up even though they are 5 years apart.  My favorite was a scarecrow and a crow.   Scarecrow costume is fairly easy with overalls, straw hat and rafia (My daughter, older) and my son was the crow, using a long sleeve black leotard and orange tights (had to dye some), sewed full head gear (including beak) and tail, feet to cover top of shoes out of felt.  They won their school contest that year.
That made my day, I loved it !!...nm

Thanks, you both made me feel better about it...sm

My intuition is definitely telling me something is off in the story. I try not to be too quick to judge but can't compromise the safety of my kids.


It bothers me a lot when stuff like this comes up, reminds how difficult the world is these days. I love technology, movies, music, the internet, etc., as much as the next guy, but it sure raises a lot of issues with your kids that weren't there when we grew up. Whatever happened to the days when kids made doll houses, sleds, and clubhouses out of cardboard boxes and the first thing you did after school was change into play clothes to race to the house with the best swingset or grab a snack to watch the Brady Bunch or the Monkeys.


By then, they usually know, and if not, will be made fun of by other kids.

For those of you who believe this rule had to be made
because of those with medical problems - you are very naive.  We are know there are exceptions to all rules - this has obviously become a huge problem with obnoxious children.
Ok, well how would you feel if you made...
your daugther get this vaccine and then 10-20 years down the line she dies from some crazy side effect?!! Then you would have to live with the fact that YOU COULD HAVE prevented her death by just not making her get the shot!! Or what if one of the long-term side effects is sterilization or something else that is just awful, how would you feel then knowing you could have prevented it?! I absolutely do NOT believe in letting my little girl be a guinea pig so some politicians and drug company can become rich! No way is my daughter getting this until they have LONG-TERM studies that it's safe for her!
i think iit was all made in fun, and besides if Simon did not like him
he would not be hosting the show.
I made such a big mistake
I got in touch with someone I went out with once, just to say hello. Now he won't leave me alone. I've told him I don't want to see him, that I was just saying hi, and he won't believe me. He acts like we're going to have a relationship and live happily ever after. He called me like 4 times before I ever got home from work, even though I told him what time I would be home. These were weird calls. One of them sounded like somebody else, not him at all.

He's not a whacked out kid, or on drugs (at least not that I know of), he's in his 40's and is a seemingly responsible single parent.

He's called a couple of times, ranting at me about me not answering the phone. He's called a couple of times and hung up. He just won't stop. I had to take my phone off the hook.

I wrote him an email telling him to leave me alone. Maybe he hasn't checked his email tonight, I don't know.

Anyway, this guy is seriously obsessive. He wasn't like this when I knew him before, although he did react rather badly when I broke it off.

I think I'm dealing with a psycho here! I never really knew him very well before, and now I'm hoping I can get out of it without having to get the police involved.
My FIL's doc made housecalls.
My father-in-law died this past November, but for about six months before that, his MD made house calls. Truth be told, if my FIL had still been able to walk, he could have walked to his doc's office in about five minutes since it was only blocks away. It had gotten just so hard to move my 6Ɖ", 250-pound FIL into a car, drive him three blocks and then get him out of the car, into the office, etc. etc. Finally, the doc said, "You know what, Charlie. It's easier for me to come to you!" He never made an exact appointment time, just knew what day he'd come over. When there was a break in the patient's at the office, he'd come over to the house, and my mother-in-law made the doctor something to eat, as well. The doc didn't have a traditional black bag, but he carried a very cool, very compartmentalized backpack with him. And he only ever charged for an office visit, since, according to him, his office was nearly in my in-law's back yard. He was a nice guy.
Okay...so the poison is not even made in the US?
Some kind of terrorism? What? How the....What the...
Man-made holidays...
but you are all so quick to forget that the Bible from which you quote from was in fact man made as well.

And if we are to only quote by the Bible as to what rules to follow to get into Heaven, you exclude a ton of other religions who believe they will get into Heaven or where ever based upon their man-made books as well!

Is the Bible the only true verse? If so, then Christians are the ONLY true believers and will be the only ones to get into Heaven. Bull...

Like I always said though, whatever floats your boat.

Me personally, I do not want anyone in my room preaching to me on my death bed unless I personally asked them to do so.

I too never made Montana but in the 70s

this film was shot completely in Montana and you get to see/feel so much of the environment you almost felt like you were there.....that part of the movie was worth seeing it...forget the plot


not a bad plot though either, if'n ya like Jack Nicholson.......*lol*....which is why I went actually....Jack in the 70s....terrific to some folks, not  to some others (no flaming to commence here please).  I just thought if you could rent this movie, you'd enjoy it for the scenery. 


Have a GREAT time on what sounds like a SPECTACULAR trip.

The thing that really made me wonder is that
I am having problems reading and comprehending. I read like crazy. I always joked I could not afford my reading habit and got a library card instead. I actually retain what I read too.

Now I am having to re-read something several times. In this business, that costs money.

The other thing I've noticed is that I walk around all the time wondering what I was doing. I am a lot more confused too. She said this could be from the anxiety medicine and my depression. I honestly feel like I am losing my mind is the best way I can describe it! I cannot keep up with things. I get confused. I'm a mess. Also, I am too young to be having problems like that already, as far as my mind going or something.

My PCP suggested I see a neurologist. I just went back to my old psychiatrist though because I knew my meds needed to be changed anyways and I needed to start seeing one again. I think maybe I will see about looking into it further. My brother is on Concerta, and I've thought about just taking one of his pills and seeing if it helped any to be able to tell the doctor that, but I know I shouldn't do that. Maybe I will go see the neurologist after all.
I'm so made at my husband
Honey, I have found that the majority of men in this world think that their job is the most important and no one has it as hard as they do.  I would tell him just for one day that you want him to do your job, plus take care of kids and keep a household running.  I bet that would make him not say another smart a** comment again!!  What would men be like if God hadn't created women??  I hate to imagine.
That made me laugh.
You are right about the gorgeous doc. My old OB doc years ago was so gorgeous. Beach bum, bleeched hair, dark skin and just gorgeous. I only saw him once. Not kidding. Couldn't go there.

I hope your hysterectomy goes well when you have it. My best friend had one 6 months ago, and fortunately she was able to have a vaginal hysterectomy and not abdominal. She was fine in a couple of weeks. Mainly just sore. Lots of good thoughts for you.
I believe my husband has just made sm
a claim on the dog. Not that we need another dog, we already have 2, but it's a very pretty dog. I'm waiting for the animal shelter to call me back with an update. The phone isn't staffed all day as the volunteers all work part time. Only 1-2 people man the phones. The animals are all well cared for and we do donate regularly at every canister we see. I hope he is going to be okay. I haven't been hardly able to work worrying.
I agree with you and have made up
my mind to just ignore, and not even open anything negative on this subject again. Thanks for your input. You are absolutely correct. To acknowledge it is to fuel the fire. It will finally have to burn out.
Made a mistake x2
This is the second time that I tried to make a vacation around a big track and field event that DH runs in each year. We left last Friday for St. John New Brunswick. It's not a hot spot place, let me tell ya! We did manage a whale watch which was cool, and a day in Nova Scotia which included a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Then, we moved down to Maine for another 5 days, and we're in the only dull spot in Maine -- Orono. Went to Bangor and spent the day in Acadia today, but I'm actually working from the hotel room now while DH runs in the meet. I don't know why I did this again. I must have been insane. So what am I doing this weekend? Working in a hotel room, and then driving 9 hours for home on Monday. sigh
Don't know, but you made me CHUCKle!

Not one reply as of 5 pm has made(sm)
mention that Sadgirl has a child.

Why is that not a huge factor/motivator in these replies?


Made me laugh. When I go in for my
BP check, I will use that line, but will say it is my
husband's driving.

Thanks for the funny.

I made my son one a few years ago SM

It was SpongeBob on one side and solid red on the other side.  He still loves it.  He is starting to outgrow it too, so I may make him a new one this year.  My other 2 would probably love one too, but the material is sort of expensive to make them all blankets that are big enough.  I'll have to think about it.

Where are you? I think the movie was made not too far from me. nm

oh, your post just made ME cry....

I so get that......*tears*.....I recently lost my dad, he was very_old but we were ThickAsThieves and for a long, long, long time, I'm talking decades and decades...how lucky was I?!?!?!!!  I say recently but it was nearly 3 years ago......I got to care for him during his illness and that was a blessing to me (10 years) along with outside help. 


I wish you and your daughter THE BEST - and I don't know where you live or your financial situation, but if I had the resources, I would find a field where you know it's grown and scatter his ashes, Colombia comes to mind or Kentucky *lol* read the news - hey the Everglades in Florida!!  *lol*


I, myself, want to be cremated and my ashes scattered over New Mexico, the Sangre DE Cristo Mountains near Santa Fe.  [Of course, my religious upbringing does not allow for this...but I'm not all that religious and certainly not in an organized fashion...it's between me and G_d, though one of my children is NOT happy about this *lol*]
