No snow for me in North Alabama - sm
I am halfway between Birmingham, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee.  The snow completely missed us.  I wanted snow for my children, but since it missed us, I am so praying that your babies get to see snow.  Please let us know. 

i live in south alabama and it has been about
Parents were letting their kids walk to school in shorts!!! I won't even let mine walk to school with a coat, jacket, scarf and gloves in 30 degree weather!! I guess they don't mind paying the doctor bills for when they get sick...

No snow for N.W. Alabama. Just thunder, lightning and
rain.
east Alabama. I cannot tell you one person who has kept her maiden name sm
here in my town. Not one.
Prell - I buy it at Wal-Mart in Athens, Alabama.
I have also found it at Dollar General.
it was snowing here in south Alabama today
it's wierd, it was in the 70s yesterday!!
that sounds delicious!
And I don't have lard in my house either, nor did my mother cook with it when we were growing up, but think my grandpa did in his cornbread.  I look for healthier ways to prepare our favorite southern dishes; rarely fry chicken (usually get it from Publix...yummy), don't fry veggies (cept for okra), but sometimes just get a hankering for good ole southern food...go to the Blue Willow in Social Circle, load up, and enjoy!
Sounds delicious
Thanks for the recipe.  I can't wait to try it.
I also think that some delicious food
is the ine of the best ideas.
After all, we all have to eat to stay alive!
that sounds delicious!

That sound delicious. - thanks
We like stuff we can keep in the fridge to much on when hungry. Will definitely try this. Thanks.

Pumpkin cheesecake pie...delicious!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie

INGREDIENTS:
2 packages (16 ounces total) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
dash cloves
2 large eggs
1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust

PREPARATION:
Combine cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, and spices; mix with a hand mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix until blended. Pour into graham cracker crust. Bake at 350° F. for 35 to 45 minutes, or until set. Cool. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, or overnight.

Serve garnished with sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping.
sounds delicious -- my little boy is in the kitchen
i set him up with the mixer in the sink so he doesn't make too huge of a mess.  he loves baking cakes cuz it's like a science project (he's 8)... loves baking...
In Huntsville, Alabama there was a horrible accident here in November where a school bus went off an
Four students were killed, and many were injured. Those ignorant people in that hate group from Kansas were here protesting at the funerals of those poor children who were killed. The hate group had signs saying that God killed their children to punish them for not being good parents.
Couple of easy delicious deserts
Go to eaglebrand.com and put in chocolate rasberry cheescake -- easy to make and I get more compliments on this than anything I have evey brought to a party.  And I make from scratch all the time but this is so easy and especially men love it.   Another one is a apple/spice cake from Betty Crocker web page.  Kids love this one.  You basically add a can of apples -- though I substitute fresh apples, cook them like you would for a compote instead of the canned -- in the mix and it is so goooooooooooooooood.  All of my nephews and nieces ask that I make it when I come to a family gathering.   So there are a couple.  But I do a lot of search on web pages and on the Food Network and find wonderful recipes.  Good luck.
Quick and easy...tastes delicious, but
Start by boiling one box of Santa Maria pasta--or any kind that looks like a large piece of rice. Drain. Put in a large bowl and add one to two large cans of chicken. Drain some of the juice off of the chicken, but leave some also for the chiken salad. I usually drain the chicken and then use a fork to cut up the pieces in the can and that usually produces more juice and than I add it to the pasta. Next add one jar of Marzetti slaw dressing and 1/2 cup of Mayo. Mix well. This mixutre will look like a giant bowl of soup at this point. Cover and put in the frige over night, or if making in the morning put in frige for entire day until dinnertime. Take out of the frige and mix well. It will now be thick like chicken salad is supposed to be! At this point I usually add some almond slivers and serve on croissants or other yummy breads. I know this sounds really wierd, but it tastes wonderful and is so easy to make.
That sounds delicious! I wish I had V8. It's rainy and cold so I might have sm
to compromise and use something else. thanks for the idea!
Could you email me the recipe for this? Sounds delicious NM

ABSOLUTELY . . .
If children find out on their own, they think they have figured out the great mystery of life, if someone tells them (especially an adult), they are taking away a precious, magical childhood time. My daughter believed up until she was 11 . . . and now that she and my almost 11-year-old son have figured it out, they think THEY have uncovered a great mystery!!! They think it's funny, actually. My 7-year-old still believes and he will until he is at least 10, if I have anything to say about it. That's like talking to them about faith in my opinion. That's the parents' responsibility
Absolutely..
My stepmother had a TAH almost 20 years ago and has had hot flashes ever since then. Sorry, that's probably bad news!
Absolutely don't do it

Same story here. Sit through sales pitch, very very hard sell, push push push. Then, instead of the "jeweled timepiece" which was the LEAST expensive prize, I got a cheap Timex that didn't even run.


Run run run away from this!!!!!


absolutely I would have said something
What if these kids are in his care a lot?

What if he does this behind closed doors (very likely if he struck out at the little one in public) when mommy isn't around?

What if he isn't their dad (or is) and he's abusing them but she doesn't know it?

As a mom, I would definitely want to know if someone struck my kid. Especially if I was a single mom (which I have been) and this guy was a boyfriend who was responsible for caring for my kids while I was at work or otherwise occupied. I would never leave them with him again, I could tell you that for certain.

Doesn't really matter what their personal situation is. The fact is, the kid was struck for no good reason and the jerk should have been called on it.

If he made a stink or if she made a stink, SO WHAT, follow them and get a license plate number then turn them in!
You-re absolutely right
A few months ago I was at a class I take at the YMCA and one woman was telling us how her daughter-in-law had a miscarriage. She was saying how hard it was and finally I spoke up and said I too had miscarried. After I said that, at least 4 other women (out of a group of maybe 10-12) admitted they too had miscarried. I was stunned. I had no idea how many of us there were. Knowing I wasn't alone might have helped when I was going through it.

On the other hand, if anything good came of it, I think it made me a better mother. I cherished every moment of my children's lives and took none of it for granted.

Absolutely!
Men like that feed off of control. My ex did the same thing. Just pull your boots up! It'll be okay. Talk to your family (parents? siblings?), see a lawyer (don't tell your husband), and look at getting into counseling. I've been exactly where you are and I know what you're feeling. It's awful, but the sooner you get free, the better you'll feel and the better off your children will be.

Did I read that he stays off for days without contacting you?
Absolutely...sm

Any and all prayers appreciated.  Thank you so much.


Sorry you went through the same thing.  It certainly isn't good at all. 


Absolutely NOT!....

You'd better give that to me and I'll take care of it for you. 


(I am absolutely staaaving!)


This is absolutely
And surprisingly cute! Thanks for sharing...BTW, did you wear the ones you were given? 
Absolutely
You have the right idea!!  Where I live, Hard Rock Cafe had their 10th year anniversay Saturday night.  My husband and I and a couple of friends (who are about 5 years younger than I am) decided to go.  Rich music history here in my neck of the woods.  When we walked in, the young girl standing at the hostess desk looked at us and said "Just to make sure you know it is our 10th anniversay and we will be having loud rock music tonight in case you want to eat dinner somewhere else". I asked her why she told me that because she didn't tell the couple that was in front of us. She said "well, I thought at your age you might not like it."  I couldn't believe it.  That's why we were there, to hear the bands that were playing.
Absolutely right!
The world needs more kind people like yourself and you are 100% correct about the animal cruelty!
Absolutely!
I met my best friend in 1975 when we worked together.  I tell people I've had her longer than I had my husband (28 years).  We have seen each other through second marriages, second divorces, the entire deal.  Talk daily sometimes 2-3 times.  And yes sometimes "a friend sticketh closer than a brother", in this case anyway! 
Absolutely!
How could you do any less for a member of your family? You're not crazy at all; you're a sensitive, caring human being who puts love before money. Take care of yourself; everything will work out.
i have absolutely no

I have a family member with Parkinson's disease.  He has the adolescent onset version so he's only now 39 and on disability.  He cannot sit all day and work at the job he used to have at an investment firm.  He has been in a car accident due to blanking out on medication.  The only thing the doctors had left to tell him was take this medication which should work for about 10 years so you can work but after that you'll probably be debilitated.  Well having 2 small children at the time, the answer was simple, be able to raise my family or be able to work.  So he went on disability.  Now he is able to active occasionally but his hands are real shaky and so is his voice.  Whenever he has to go to the disability office, he is treated with contempt and disbelief until he hikes his 1 foot thick medical record file on their desk!


I also know of someone who was on disability that actually worked for the MT company I used to work for (this is hearsay mind you).  Evidently she was using her husband's social security number to earn a paycheck!  Whenever I meet someone or hear of someone cheating the system, I want them to meet my family member and explain to them why they think they are entitled to take money out of his pockets and his children's pockets.  Makes me so mad!


Absolutely not. nm

ABSOLUTELY!!
I posted above about my Canadian boyfriend. The taxes to pay for their universal/provincial healthcare are outrageous!!
Absolutely.
As an MT I cannot stand transcribing a social history that states "smokes 3 packs of cigarettes a day but denies the use of alcohol or drugs" and then has a positive alcohol or marij. screen. Why is one of the 3 considered acceptable in society and the others are not? To me, they are all essentially at the same level. They all have addictive properties and the potential for longterm complications, bad decisions, etc. If marij. has the potential of doing some good for anyone then I think it should be legalized.

Another good point you bring up is the cost of housing the so called "criminals" who have use it recreationally and could have just as easily used recreational alcohol and been involved in a drunk driving incident. It's all about education and setting limits. Sure there have to be guidelines but I don't think all should be punished because of the few exceptions.
You are absolutely right, he

could have done any of a number of things to cause A PIT BULL dog to attack and kill him.   He could have yelled at the TV.  He could have stepped on one of their feet.  He could have fallen down.  We don't know what happened, but the point is that no pet should ever be capable of killing a human with whom it shares a home.  Other breeds recognize their master and other humans in their living space and take their rightful place.  Most good, smart companion dogs would have recognized this man's special frailty and give him a wider berth.  The instinct of these dogs to attack overcomes them and they can't turn off that instinct.   This breed should never be kept as pets. 


You should visit the web site I posted and click on the tab about pit bull owners.  I find it very interesting that you have used the same phrases that most owners use to defend the breed. 


Can you name one desirable character trait that a pit bull has that you cannot find in any other dog?  


Absolutely!!!

I just met the love of my life 1-1/2 years ago, and I have a daughter in college, so I don't believe happiness is rendered elusive after a certain age. 


After my man and I got together in what is indeed a story for "the grandkids," we discovered we had been at the same time/same place on multiple previous occasions, almost like fate kept dropping us into one another's paths until we finally interconnected.  I had always held out and refused to settle, and I've ended up with the most wonderful man who treats me better than I had ever imagined.  And, most importantly, someone who can make me laugh no matter what's going on around us. 


I used to be a total skeptic about "love" and all that it entailed; however, once I met "the one," it totally changed my perception of love and just how life-changing and wonderful love can be.  My friends say *glow* since I've been with him, and even his mother has seen a huge change in him since we got together.  As corny as it sounds, I feel "complete" for the first time in my life. 


Don't give up hope...Use your head to get yourself out of a bad situation, and then use your heart to follow your dreams.  We ALL deserve happiness in life, and I'm a firm believer that fate will eventually have its way with us, and we end up right where we're intended to be. 


You go, girl...grab that golden ring and don't let go!!!



You are absolutely right.......... sm
I found myself in a similar situation several years ago. The man, whom I loved very much and still do, decided that it was not within him to have a relationship with me because of religious beliefs. I do still love him very much and always will but I have come to understand that we are to never be together and I have moved on with my life. Hardest thing I've ever done, but I feel much healthier for it. My suggestion to the woman in the original story is that if she does love this man, then she must respect his decision and the sooner she does it, the quicker she will heal from the pain.
Absolutely not!
If it happened even just once, I'd be out of there in a flash.
absolutely and I think he is too! sm

My husband and I have been married for 13-1/2 years and were best friends for 4 years leading up to that.  The single that I love most about him is that if I'm having a bad day, I can tell him that.  I can say I need a hug cuz I'm having a really bad day and he's there for me.  He listens if I want to talk about it and if not, he just holds me. 


As for the groping thing, we always do that.  Sometimes it turns into something more and sometimes we just end up giggling.  We have 3 kids, so we've had our ups and downs.  They range in age from 6 to 11.  I think the biggest thing for us is that we're friends, first and foremost.  I love him because he makes it easy for me to smile. 


Absolutely
Better to agree to disagree than start a fight which is all too prevalent on the board. Have fun watching tonight. My daughter and I are always screaming at the TV when it's on. I definitely agree that most of the women were off last night. The girl you're talking about, I think you and I are thinking of the same one. That second guy I don't remember at all from the auditions.
Absolutely
Funny, when kids were spanked at home, they behaved at school. Now it's a crime to spank your child and the schools are filled with rowdy uncontrollable children who they now control by medicating them. Funny how no one had ADHD 40 years ago.

Absolutely...
I just hate that it always seems to be the fruit that I have to give up. When apples were 6 bucks a bag last year, I left them right in that store. A couple of weeks ago, the week right after V-day, strawberries were 4 bucks a pint, Seriously? The day before they had been 2 for 5. They stayed in the store. Grapes are expensive always it seems but my local grocer packages them smaller so I'm not paying as much, not getting as much but still it gives my kids a good snack for at least a day. S A D!
I have had this and it can be absolutely
terrifying. One time I felt like someone was sitting on the bed next to me and I was the only one home. I have had it happen 3 or 4 times.
