QUOTE: How about "editmyselfitus"? for when posters edit their post but not before someone else quotes it... That always happens to me. I am a very poor typist. I "type stutter" & loose my train of thought trying to be perfect. Sometimes I just go ahead & post so I have a chance to get into the thread & someone faster always quotes me before I can fix it. I know proper punctuation, I just can't type. My daughter is an editor for the Baltimore Sun. I am afraid to e mail her. It might come back corrected in red. |

Ramen Noodls suc huh?
QUOTE: Tacos in a bag are true emergency relief food. Buy all your taco fixings from the store. Put them out on the table. Then buy individual serving bags of fritos brand corn chips. Tear open one end of the bag and walk down the line and put all the fixings you desire right into the bag! Put your ground browned meat in. Put your shredded lettuce in, your cheese, your sour cream, your taco sauce, your diced onions, your olives, your diced peppers. Then you eat it right out of the bag with a spork! No mess. No dirty dishes. Ez cleanup. Had a tornado come through. Destroyed my lawyers house. She called me. I asked if they needed anything. She said that the whole neighborhood was hungry and to feed us now! Around 150 people. We went all out. Had the browned meats in crockpots hooked to inverters. Fed 150 people tacos in a bag for a hundred and fifty bucks including cold sodas. Had corned beef blessed by a jesuit priest for my freinds of the jewish persuasion. Had beef, and pork. Fed all those people out of the back of my pickup truck. And everyone ate well. The red cross was blown away by our resourcefulness, and speed. Kids love tacos in a bag. Cuz they get to play with their food. Tacos in a bag. That's where its at. And definitely not ramen noodles. You Rock! |

I do all kinds of things with ramen noodles. Here's one I do often. Toss a handful of frozen peas in boiling water for a few minutes, add the ramen noodles, drain, toss with butter, parmesan cheese, pepper & basil. Don't use the flavor packet for this one. Save it for flavoring rice some other time.

"The Spy Who Shagged me" I was dating a guy who rented it for us to watch after dinner. I washed the dishes & left. It was just stupid & nasty.

QUOTE: QUOTE: If you are role modeling & want to give a gift...a card is still nice. If you want a packaged item, something impersonal for the house or that they could share...not sure how old your son is. A bottle of wine or a houseplant is nice. Is your son old enough for a board game? That could be a gift she/him could use together. Just a couple ideas. Thank you for all the ideas. I actually found a computer game based on a TV show she likes, so I went with that. A little personal, but nothing overly affectionate. It sounds like you did good! |

Book vs Movie
QUOTE: QUOTE: They do that mostly cause the movies would be to long but like Mr_Music said some movies are close Dances With Wolves was one Dances With Wolves is definitely one of my all-time faves...but I was very surprised to see how thin the book was... That is a rare exception, they took a short so/so book & made an excellent movie. One of my favorites. |

QUOTE: Well, the "why" of it is because she's my sons mother, and we are at least still civil towards each other, and I don't want my boy to see me snub her, but shes the type that usualy gets what she likes when she wants it, and doesnt talk much about present-y type things she wants or is interested in. I know I know. terrible that I dont already know her tastes, but even when we were together, buying her presents was a task in and of itself.... Maybe its just that "Guys are bad at presents" thing.. I think it's great that you are thinking of the message this sends your son. I have a few suggestions. A pretty mug & a small box of assorted teas or a few one pot sized bags of gourmet coffees. A pair a gloves in a nuetral color like black, white or tan, these colors don't clash with much,it's always nice to have an extra pair in the car. A nice wall calender with big spaces to write notes is a great thing for a busy Mom. None of these things are too personal, but I think most ladies would appreciate them, & they should be inexpensive.

Check Please!
Whoever does the inviting should pay, unless they make it clear that it is "dutch treat". I am always prepared to pay if the situation seems to suggest I should. I like a guy to pay on the 1st date, because I then have the option of saying "next time's on me" or " next time I'll cook" which is my way of making sure he knows I would like to see him again.

Book vs Movie
QUOTE: Did you ever read a book and then see the movie and thought the book was so much better, or thought they did a good job with the movie? I read the "The Notebook" then seen the movie, and thought the movie wasn't as good as the book. Not saying the movie was horrible or anything, just didn't care much for it. For some reason, whenever I read the book first, it always seems a lot better then the movie. Maybe because the book leaves more to the imagination? I agree. I try very hard to avoid seeing a movie before I read the book. I like to form my owm images 1st. |

Anyway dogs sleep most of the time we are at work. Dogs naturally sleep more than we do.
