    Addie

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    For any of you looking for a great Peanut Brittle recipe - get Addies! It is AWESOME! I made some and brought it to work to share on Tuesday and got rave review but I didn't realize the extent until I didn't have any yesterday and I had several people come by hoping that they could get some more, so I brought some in again today and have had a steady stream of visitors!

    Thanks Addie for sharing....I thought everyone should know and share in the pounds I am going to have to report when the "diet police" calls for updates :) If I'm going down, I want company :lol:

    Much Love,

    Amy

    Does anyone here know what the true definition of remission is? My Mom and I had a discussion yesterday about this because she thinks she is in remission and I think she is just stable. I thought that remission was NED and no longer receiving treatment...any thoughts?????

    HMOs

    In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated

    the Earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach,

    green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man

    and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

    Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's and Krispy

    Kreme Donuts.

    And Satan said, "You want Chocolate with that?"

    And Man said "Yeah,".

    And Woman said, "And another one with sprinkles."

    And they gained 10 pounds. And

    Satan smiled.

    And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure

    that Man found so fair. Satan brought forth white flour from

    the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined

    them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 24.

    So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented

    Thousand-Island Dressing, Buttery croutons and garlic toast on the

    side.

    And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

    God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive

    oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish

    and chicken-fried Steak so big it needed its own platter. Hilltop

    Steak House thrived! And man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

    God created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake,"

    and said "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and

    named it "Devil's Food."

    God then brought running shoes so that his children might lose those

    extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control

    so Man would not have to toil changing the channels.

    And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light

    and gained pounds.

    Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming

    with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced

    the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them.

    And Man gained pounds.

    God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and

    still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and

    its 99-cent double Cheeseburger. Then said "You want fries with that?"

    And Man replied, "Yeah! And super size 'em."

    And Satan said "It is good."

    And Man went into cardiac arrest.

    God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

    Then Satan created HMOs.

    Christmas Angel

    in JUST FOR FUN

    Posted

    One particular Christmas, a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his

    annual trip. Alas, there were problems everywhere.

    Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves just weren't producing

    the toys as fast as the regular ones. Poor Santa was beginning to feel the

    pressure of being behind schedule.

    Then Mrs. Claus announced that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed

    Santa even more.

    When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were

    about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows

    where. More stress.

    Furthermore, when he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked,

    and the toy bag fell to the ground scattering the toys everywhere.

    Frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot

    of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had

    hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink.

    In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke

    into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor.

    He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the

    broom.

    Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door.

    He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas

    tree.

    The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a lovely

    day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"

    And thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas

    tree.

    Blone Christmas

    in JUST FOR FUN

    Posted

    There were 2 blondes who went deep into the frozen woods searching for a

    Christmas tree.

    After hours of subzero temperatures and a few close calls with hungry wolves,

    one blonde turned to the other and said "I'm chopping down the next tree I see.

    I don't care whether it's decorated or not.!"

    Meeting the parents

    in JUST FOR FUN

    Posted

    A woman goes to her boyfriends' parents' house for

    Christmas dinner. This is to be her first time meeting

    the family and she is very nervous.

    The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort,

    thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole.

    The gas pains are almost making her eyes water.

    Left with no other choice, she decides to

    relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty fart.

    It wasn't loud, but everyone at the table heard the poof.

    Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed,

    her boyfriend's father looked over at the dog that had

    been snoozing under the woman's chair, and said in a

    rather stern voice, "Skippy!".

    The woman thought, "This is great!" and a big smile

    came across her face. This time, she didn't even hesitate.

    She let out a much louder and longer fart. The father again

    looked at the dog and yelled, "Darnit Skippy!".

    Once again the woman smiled and thought "Yes!"

    A few minutes later the woman had to let out another rip.

    This time she didn't even think about it. She let rip a fart

    that rivaled a train whistle blowing.

    Once again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled,

    "Darnit Skippy, get away from her, before she craps on you!"

    Ry and John -

    I have a special place in my hearts for adoptive parents for I was adopted as well. Parents who open their hearts and their homes to babies, especially those from different nationalities, are the most special people. May your family continue to be blessed and an early happy birthday to Jillian!!!

    Much Love,

    Questions re pneumonia and effusion

    Margaret -

    A couple of years ago I had a terrible bout with pnuemonia and didn't run a fever at all - in fact the only reason I went to the ER was because I was coughing up massive amounts of fresh blood. I was shocked because I felt pretty good and had run 3 miles 2 days prior to ER visit. I have since had pnuemonia at least once a year and have only run a temp twice. I don't know if the lack of fever means you caught it early or what but I now know how it feels and go to doc and request chest x-ray before I get the full blown symptoms.

    I hope your hubby is feeling better.

    Much Love,

    I saw this earlier but couldn't find the words and still can't. My heart goes out to you and your family. You have been amazing through all of this and hopefully the WBR will kill the little buggers and you all can enjoy the holidays. I wish I was closer so I could give you a hug. I will be thinking of you all in the coming days.

    Brains

    Getting a last one in for the ladies!

    In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room,

    where their family member lay gravely ill.

    Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

    "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces.

    "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain

    transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only

    hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay

    for the brain yourselves."

    The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After

    a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"

    The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and

    $200 for a female brain."

    The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile,

    avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.

    A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question

    everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more?"

    The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to

    the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure.

    We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because

    they've actually been used."

    My heart is breaking......

    Sorry I am so late in seeing this haven't been around much lately. I am sorry you and your Dad are having a rough time. Hopefully by now you will have talked to the Dr. and have a plan in place. You are amazing, I can only hope to learn from you and all the other "wise ones" on this board, to be able to handle these situations gracefully. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

    It's the summer of 1960 and Bobby goes to pick up his date, Peggy Sue. Bobby's a pretty hip guy with his own car and a duck tail hairdo.

    When he goes to the front door, Peggy Sue's father answers and invites him in. "Peggy Sue's not ready yet, so why don't you have a seat?" He says.

    "That's cool." says Bobby.

    Peggy Sue's father asks Bobby what they are planning to do.

    Bobby replies politely that they will probably just go to the malt shop or to a drive-in-movie.

    Peggy Sue's father responds, "Why don't you kids go out and screw? I hear all of the kids are doing it."

    Naturally this comes as quite a surprise to Bobby and he says...

    "Whaaaat?"

    "Yeah," says Peggy Sue's father, "We know that Peggy Sue really likes to screw; why, she'd screw all night if we let her!"

    Bobby's eyes light up and he smiles from ear to ear. Immediately, he has revised the plans for the evening. A few minutes later, Peggy Sue comes downstairs in her little poodle skirt with her saddle shoes and announces that she's ready to go.

    Almost breathless with anticipation, Bobby escorts his date out the front door while Dad is saying, "Have a good evening kids," with a small wink for Bobby.

    About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly disheveled Peggy Sue rushes back into the house, slams the door behind her and screams at her father:

    "DAMMIT DADDY! THE TWIST!!! IT'S CALLED THE TWIST"!
