Egg, flour, and sugar free cookie recipes? Posted: 5/9/2013 6:12:23 PM
you can use ground almonds in place of flour. or you can use spelt or quinoa flour. honey can take the place of sugar, but you'd need to adjust other ingredients. i don't know what to tell you about the egg thing. slippery elm powder steeped in boiling water will give you a similar texture, but i have no clue how that would work when you bake it. i have a friend who used calendula petals, but i'm not sure how that worked. i'll keep checking.

Classical Music Posted: 4/13/2013 5:46:34 AM
i have a background in classical dance, so i grew up hearing all the great ballet composers. i still love stravinsky, gershwin, bernstein and copland. i have to throw tchaikovsky in there, even though 'nutcracker' gets on my nerves. as i get older, i appreciate prokefiev more and consider him one of the most important 20th century composers. recently i started listening to gottschalk and i think i'd love to choreograph pieces to his work. i find him wonderfully complex, with great melodies that don't get on my nerves. i favor piano composers who don't feel the need to bog down the melodies with extra instruments.

That's why so many are so unwilling to get help. that's what makes the condition so tragic. and so destructive to those who care about the bpd individual.

What is the Best Thing U Learned Now, Being Older in People??? Posted: 3/17/2013 3:47:17 PM
~ primarily, i've learned that nearly everyone behind the wheel is drunk, homicidal and blind. ~ the more special effects in a film, the more it sucks. ~ a bazillion years from now, when we've blown the planet to smithereens and all that remains are dust particles, the dust particles from israel will hate the dust particles from palestine. ~ i'm an awful judge of character. ~ reality sucks. but it's the only place to get a decent cup of coffee. ~ hope is not the thing with feathers. the thing with feathers is one of my exes.

Complementary colors and style Posted: 3/17/2013 3:26:05 PM
slate grey goes with just about any color. get yourself some shorts in grey, tan, white and so on. blue goes well with a lot of different colors too. so get some blue polos ~ you can find different shades of blue like navy, chambray and royal. greens would work too ~ sage, mint, evergreen. you get the picture. and talk to some of the clerks in different stores. they can give you all kinds of advice. have fun!

White Smoke Posted: 3/14/2013 6:05:49 AM
here in the west, many people don't get that catholicism is not a democracy. the pope is infallible. and the rest of the church goes along with what he says. recently we've seen progressives speak out against vatican policies. the jesuits take a vow of blind obedience. therefore, in the past, francis followed his order's tradition of carrying out benedict's doctrines. it will be interesting to see how it plays out when francis is the one calling the shots. and, yes, the church believes that god speaks directly to the pope. again, we may not get that, but that's the way it is. apparently he picked the name 'francis' after francis of assisi, as opposed to francis xavier. i initially assumed it was xavier, and i'm glad it was francis of assisi. i think he set up a challenge for himself by choosing that name. he has a strong, well-documented history of helping poverty-stricken communities and reaching out to jews after their building got destroyed in argentina. i think we'll see a new direction from rome. and i wish him all the best in this challenge.

i have some great ideas, but i suck at writing fiction. i've won awards for poetry. and i write for a newspaper. i'm a helluvan essayist as well. but fiction? i'd need a partner who could help out. i'd come up with ideas and characters, but i'd need someone else to flesh out the work stylistically. for some reason, the only thing i can't write well is fiction.

the market recently started carrying little tubs containing substances made of various fruits, fruit juices and sugars. they come in a variety of flavors ~ quince, fig, plum, cherry, pear, apple etc. i got some of the pear paste and served it in slices with cheddar, which was quite nice. has anyone tried any of these? apparently you can use them in baking as well.

well, i celebrated keith richards' birthday, then the solstice and today i'll celebrate christmas. guess i just like celebrating! i grew up catholic, so christmas was a huge deal. this year, for the first time, i couldn't travel to spend the holiday with my family. so i'm doing dinner with a friend. and my big excitement so far today has been watching the cat play with his catnip christmas toy! he's having a blast and getting some exercise. we had a snowfall, with more on the way, so i hope to get out in the woods for a bit this morning. everyone, have a safe, peaceful and joyous holiday!

Dating a person with mental illness scare u? Posted: 12/4/2012 5:18:47 AM
40 % of women are on psychotropic medication. citation, please? having known an individual who suffers with borderline personality disorder, i'd have to say that i'd never encourage a relationship with someone like that ever again. i did my best to offer support, but the person i knew had no interest in helping theirself. i can't put myself through that again. the delusions of grandeur, the ranting, the screaming, the sobbing, the adoration/hatred ~ wow...it was a learning experience certainly. and it opened my eyes to the very real world of the mentally ill. but i found the interaction too draining to ever engage in something like that again.

Should I be upfront about my health problems right away? Posted: 12/2/2012 5:48:16 AM
i stopped dating due to chronic migraines. you have to do what works best for you and not concern yourself with dating right now. i realized that i had to take care of myself first. no way could i connect with anyone in any meaningful way while having that kind of pain. i couldn't even begin to explain it to anyone. if you do decide to try to date, by all means, explain your condition as soon as you can. that way, you can say that sometimes you may have to cancel a date or make it an early night because you don't feel well. few people really understand what it means to experience pain like that. i do hope you get the condition under control so you can get back to enjoying your life.

How a loner get through his/her life? Posted: 11/15/2012 5:12:22 AM
feel like I have to constantly steal alone time.. there's always someone who needs me. It can get.. suffocating at times. Then I feel guilt for even allowing that thought a moment's airtime, and end up feeling even worse about it. i can totally identify with this. those of us who actually crave solitude have truly evolved. op doesn't strike me as a loner at all, but rather as someone who went through a breakup and now has to adjust to the single life as opposed to playing a role as half of a couple. op, if you look at the 'broken hearts' forum, you'll find some great information about how others have handled this. good luck.

my mother, her anger and my father Posted: 11/10/2012 4:34:23 PM
my mother has always had anger management issues. of course, she would never admit having any isues at all, but screaming and yelling come as naturally to her as breathing. now that i live 3 hours away and my brother lives 10 hours away (lucky him!), she has turned her rage on my father. they both retired years ago and my father, at 73, substitute teaches in the public schools. she worked as an o.r. nurse. therefore, she knows everything and thinks any problem can be corrected with surgery. she actually had my father in for an operation on a hammer toe that really didn't bother him. this put him in a position of not being able to help around to farm, which drove him nuts. anyway, she constantly complains that he can't do anything right. he screws up the laundry, misreads timers in the kitchen and so on. once she said to me, 'i can't think of anything he does right.' i replied, 'well he brings home a paycheck.' she couldn't argue with that. you can't really talk to her about anything that involves pointing out her flaws. she refuses to admit that she has any. she actually did screw up pretty badly driving my father home from the hospital. coming around a bend, she hit the gas instead of the brake and damaged the tire and the rim. if my father had done that, she'd have raised holy hell! anyway, with the holidays coming up, she will certainly find loads of things to **** at him for. i plan to go down there for thanksgiving, but i just can't do christmas with her. has anyone else had a family situation like this? how do you handle it? my brother completely agrees with me and he has more of a spine than i do when it comes to dealing with her. i love my father (i'm a total daddy's girl), and it upsets me to see him treated this way. if anyone has suggestions, please feel free to offer them.

Home Made Cold and Flu Remedies Posted: 11/8/2012 6:25:18 AM
well, you asked for it: disclaimer: this remedy isn't for the weak, the timid, the faint of heart or the innocent. you boil about 2 cups of water, to which you add about a tablespoon each of thyme and sage. let that steep for 15 minutes or so, the stir in a tablespoon (at least) of apple cider vinegar, a teaspoon of the hottest cayenne you can get your pretty little hands on, a tablespoon of lime juice and a few tablespoons of honey. drink as much as you can as hot as you can stand it. i intend this recipe only for those serious about kicking *ss in the head/chest cold department.

Friendzone? Why do you men hate it that much? Posted: 11/8/2012 5:24:50 AM
because so many men want to have sex with someone. if they become your friend, they can't have sex with you because no one wants to have sex with a friend. it would trash the friendship and, typically, both parties know this. i have the good fortune to have several men who know i won't sleep with them and have remained my friends anyway. i've known all of them for years and have met their various girlfriends and grieve with them when a relationship ends. you have to know how to maintain a friendship.

Are you surprised on any of the election results? Why? What are they? What do you feel are the main Posted: 11/8/2012 5:10:18 AM
the election results reflect the changing demographic in the nation. the population has changed and will no longer tolerate the failed policies installed and supported by ignorant, wealthy white men. thanks to the hooligans calling themselves the 'tea party,' minority voters turned out in droves. the best way to get people to do something is to try to keep them from doing it. mittiots from rednecks to millionaires are in for a rude awakening. they can no longer bully the rest of us. our numbers have grown and strengthened. on a personal level, katherine kane's election to state attorney general will help investigate those truly responsible for allowing jerry sandusky's continued molestation of young boys. i can envision a certain statesman shaking in his shoes right about now.

i had mentioned earlier that the storm would blow in rarely-seen shorebirds. it certainly did that! but some kind soul brought a bird to a rehabilitator that i know. the bird was suffering with severe malnutrition and dehydration. not knowing what it was, she posted a picture of it and sent it out for an identification. come to find out, it was a herald petrel, rarely seen above the equator. the storm had blow this bird in from brazil! the poor thing must have been in that storm for over a week. unfortunately, she couldn't save him. but i bet she's one of the few people in the county who have ever seen this particular species. i hope all the other petrels, jaegers, gannets and so on find their way back to sea.

Ex-Friend-Ex/Friend and Stabbed in the back? Posted: 11/4/2012 9:40:37 AM
ok, i read this through a few times, and still don't get the 'stabbed in the back' part. seems to me, you got rid of a man with whom you had nothing real. and you got rid of a woman who serves no purpose in your life. i once had a 'friend' who suffers with mental illness. once i discovered the severity of the person's condition, it had deteriorated to the point where i couldn't tolerate the abuse and the tantrums. so i had to terminate the friendship. i suggest that you do the same, both with the friend and the ex-boyfriend. unless, of course, you enjoy the drama. in which case, carry on.

American should check out cat 5's in asia. no wait, with the way they panic at cat 1's and crumble to a cat 3, they'll probably launch all their nukes at a cat 5. i wondered when the one-upsmanship would start. ok...first of all, no one panicked. secondly, this storm collided with a nor'easter. and a front coming in from the midwest. not to mention the lake-effect crap off lake erie. look at the radar. just the hurricane wouldn't have caused this much concern or havoc. you have to understand what happens when something like that joins forces with 2 other dangerous systems. please check out facts before making comparisons so inane. on the bright side, systems like this tend to blow in some interesting shorebirds. we should have some good birds by the weekend.

my parents, still cleaning up after irene, live in a spot to take a direct hit from this storm. i spoke with them this morning. they still had power at that time. their creek is high, but it hasn't breached. they live in a home over 200 years old. i worry about them trying to bail out their basement because they're both over 70 years old. so i'll probably head down there to help them out once the storm breaks. where i live, the temperature has started to drop and we have 30 mph wind now. i dread losing electricity, but i have several battery-operated lanterns, batteries, flashlights, non-perishable food, a cooler and loads of ice packs. i filled the bathtub as well, and i have plenty of fresh water on hand. and extra cat food and litter. as an aside, sugar ray leonard is speaking on campus this evening, and i wish i could go see him! damn storm. the storm will hit my area tomorrow morning.

Ghost adventures Posted: 9/30/2012 6:11:45 PM
I also heard that a lot of people that have gone to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania report seeing a lot of ghost in and around area. I wouldn't doubt it if 54,356 men lost their lives in that area in one day. Running across one of the battlefields at night would be freaky though. Something i should do next time i'm up in Pennsylvania and see if i see any ghost in the battlefield like the locals claim to see. That would spook the hell out of me for sure if I seen any it would be the ultimate halloween scare that's for sure. lol you can take a guided ghost tour of gettysburg, as well as a trail ride through the battlefield. which sounds like total awesomeness to me.

Careers that Drain Your Energy Posted: 9/18/2012 5:26:19 AM
with three jobs, a relationship is the farthest thing from my mind. i work full-time for a law firm, i have a gardening business and i write for a weekly paper. stress? you bet. i get stress-induced migraines and skin rashes. i never get to go directly home after a day at the office. i pull weeds and chase leads. i spend weekends getting caught up in the garden, after submitting articles. sometimes i feel as though i've neglected my friends. but, you see, the people closest to me have so much going on in their own lives that they don't resent the time i put into work. like they say, those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter. so if you're really hell-bent on having a relationship and a career, find someone as motivated as yourself. the moments you manage to squeeze each other in will more than compensate for not getting to spend hours watching tv and eating pizza together.

This extreame heat Posted: 7/5/2012 4:56:08 AM
we have 90-95 degrees and about 65% humidity. since i work as a gardener, i spend hours outdoors. and my client doesn't have many shady spots. we had a rainy spring, followed by extreme heat, so i have to battle mold, mildew and slug infestations. plus, in all the heat, the gardens dry out quickly and needs heavy doses of water. but, happily, the pansies haven't wilted and continue to bloom and they look gorgeous! the lilies love this weather, too. i thought i'd lost his buttefly weed, but it came back, showing plenty of color. the bee balm looks beautiful too! water, water, water! i guess i'm lucky to live in close proximity to many creeks, streams and rivers. yeah, people survived for centuries without air conditioning, but they didn't have asphalt either. i avoid town like the plague when it gets this hot.

So, what does that make sweet little Dottie? a bible-thumping, ignorant, wacko fundamentalist who, like most of her ilk, prefers a good story to fact. the valley got a little bit happier with this verdict. we all feel relief that a serious danger to our community will no longer present a threat. we also owe a huge debt of gratitude to the victims whose courage in coming forward and testifying allowed the judicial process to work. a few weeks ago, one of our attorneys referred to cleland as 'a good man.' and i knew he gave the jury strict instructions and apparently they followed them to the letter. my heart goes out to the victims, though, and i hope this decision helps their healing.

That the "community" has supported allowing one of these college officials to simply "retire" and is not holding others accountable in the "cover up" is appalling, but not necessarily "criminal". Where the line is drawn between criminal behavior and unethical behavior....is for the Grand Jury to decide. so, what would you have the community do? stake out spanier's house and lynch him? beat the tar out of schultz? burn curley at the stake? communities no longer work that way. and the community had absolutely no say in who retires and who gets fired. Rather than meekly stating that "it's hurt all of us", folks in this community should be even more vocal and pro-active in shunning those who engage in these kinds of unethical behavior obviously you missed the televised candlelight vigils for the victims. and reports of the dozens of organizations that have stepped up to the plate to collect funds for prevention. no one is meekly stating anything. i merely reported what's really going on here. well, i'm off to monitor the lash building showers.

since i live in bellefonte, about 1/2 mile from the courthouse, i can see firsthand what this nightmare has done to the community. That area is so partial to local celebrities and such a old boys club its almost unbelievable. actually, we (the community) feel total disgust. we want to see justice carried out. and we find it offensive when people paint us all with the same brush. he hurt us all. we have a tight-knit community here. when you hurt one child, you hurt us all. unless one lives here and experiences the pain and anger sandusky's actions have created, please refrain from including all of us in allegations of cronyism.
