Mom had only one edible dish...yours? Posted: 3/7/2008 11:44:52 PM
Like many posted, my mom had to be the worst cook ever. Her idea of spagetti and meatballs, was using 4 large cans of tomato juice and one small can of tomato paste, with huge chunks of onion and meatballs that were burnt on the outside. She would always over cook the noodles. Our plates always looked like spagetti mush with orange water at the bottom of the plate. Her idea of chicken noodle soup was 1 package of lipton soup mix and 2 cups of water for each kid, (we were 6 kids)...lol The best is yet to come. My children will never forget her cherry pies. For some reason, my mother thought it was best to keep the pits in the cherries and bake it all in the pie. Our dentist use to freak out on her....lol but to this date, she still make it the same way. Her cooking has improved some over the years, but with her record no one in the family wants her to bring a dish for potluck, we always suggest that she brings the dinner rolls. God forbid if she decided to bake her own bread....lol

So what do you do with sauerkraut? Posted: 3/7/2008 10:37:54 PM
My dad use to make this dish and it was the best when I was growing up. Take one jar of Sauerkraut and drain. Put into greased casserole dish. Layer with thick slices of Kielbassa, (the real stuff), and layer thick sliced potatoes and onions ontop. Cover with bacon and bake at 350 for 45 to 1 hour and serve with thick sliced homeade bread. The easiest best one dish meal ever. This is what I call comfort food.......hmmmmm!

Twice her age?! Posted: 2/22/2008 8:56:32 PM
It's not morally wrong, but just thinking about the wrinkles might make a difference....If she can work through that, then what is the problem. If she can get along with his kids (grown children with kids of their own) then good for her. If she can accept being called either Dad's new play toy or grandma, then good for her... Who are you to judge!!!! Go girl....

Lets talk addiction...not sweep it under a rug... Posted: 2/22/2008 8:52:35 PM
I have a roomate who has a gambling addiction. Being an addict counsellor I find myself at wits end because I cannot counsel her myself. I know my boundaries. I know now I have to move to separate myself from work and roomates to allow me some sense of piece when I get home. Work is stressful enough and I do not need to counsel roomate to make life liveable at home. I began staying in my room more often and now she states that because I am in my room so much she feels the need to gamble....Like I am going to take responsibility for that...Not!! But it does make life miserable when your roomate thinks you should be entertaining them when past roomate who had no life used to. My question is how many other roomates are out there feeling the same way? How do you deal with it other than moving out?

My neighbours.... Posted: 2/3/2008 5:09:51 PM
For mb728, buy the guy flowers and attach a card without your name on it of course telling him that he is such a nice person to be so concerned about the neighbourhood, ensuring that you and others who live in the vicinity has parking so close to your homes, wished we all had our dream jobs but have to settle for now for the one we have, as for when I do it, usually first thing in the morning with my natural BM, could be after coffee, (one never knows how body functions after late night of rock n' roll music), as for the kids, sorry electric collar on the blizt but am looking into replacements, and for the last but not least....(sob) had to flush roomates goldfish down toilet today, hope the noise was not too much, it died cause I put it on a quiet diet, and because it took me 1 hour to find a parking spot, after watching my neighboour and his wife do it in the car with AC/DC Thunderstruck on full blast just to drown out the noisy neighbourhood kids from hearing each other scream at the top of their lungs, if forgot to feed the damn fish.

Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all? Posted: 1/25/2008 11:45:43 PM
I'm wondering...are you still seeing him? Has all day date turned into long term relationship, or is the wife and kids with him when he is not privately flying his plane. Sounds to me that you gave him the 80% answer and he came up with the 20%. Glad you had a good time...but just curious is all as to where it went from there. Call me skeptic...lol

life altering books Posted: 1/25/2008 11:15:51 PM
If you like life altering books, then read "Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. Truly amazing book on how we manifest our own lives. Negative versus negative, to, Positive versus positive. We all determine our lives path by what we put out to the universe. You can skip the book and watch the video. Makes you think about what you want in life and the energy you put into getting it. Ever wonder why the rich always gets richer? It doesn't necessarily mean monetary value, just happiness and richness of life. We all want to be happy, but do we put out the right vibes to get what we want. Not always......

It's a sad day when......... Posted: 9/16/2006 10:50:08 PM
Weekly and monthly check this site and am hoping for some interesting topics and to this date have not found one. Oh! don't get me wrong have found some topics to respond too, but they don't interest me in waiting for an answer. The topics are the similar and people just think of something to say to see if anyone will respond. It's sad cuz u don't need anyones imput on some things that are personal and that you are going through at the time of posting your thoughts. It is a real sad world when we depend on others to give us the answers that we already know the answers to. We are all intelligent people and the only reason we hook up on places like this is cuz we are lonely people looking for human cyber contact!! I for one will be leaving this site for those who think they need it. For those who have made friendships from this site, the better for you and something on me!! I may piss some people off but you know it's a free world with free speech and I have just used my free speach!! The best to you all who are looking for someone, you ain't gonna find it here or anywhere onlin, it takes human contact to make something happen!!

Hello!! My name is Sweets and I'm a reality show junkie. Been one now for past 6 years and I need help....... I realized that I had a problem when I started planning my evenings to suite reality show programming. I take no calls, don't go online until they are over. In the process of looking for a sponser to help kick this addiction! P.S. Would like to hear from any "Reality Show" recoverers and hear how they over came their addiction!

Paid back or pay back? Posted: 8/10/2006 10:23:56 PM
Not to be picky I think the movie was called "Pay it Forward" But rule number one: Never lend money to friends, family or anyone that says "you can trust me".....

To Believe or Not to Believe Gossip Posted: 8/10/2006 10:15:50 PM
What's to believe? Gossip is usually from small minded people with no life!! I truly dislike it when someone puts someone else down to make themselves feel better! Gossipers need a hobby maybe something that includes using their mouths!!

job dilemma Posted: 7/22/2006 12:16:20 AM
Not looking for an answer but some feedback!! I currently work full-time at a job that I no longer find challenging. The pay is not the best but it is regular as I am on salary. I interviewed today for a job that is more challenging and on salary as well. The thing is I am used to working 40 hrs per week and the new job (which is challenging, have I said that?) is salary as well but only 20 hrs per week. The pay increase is good but I will lose about a thousand a month and my benefits. What to do, what to do???? I would love thre challenge but at my age, (getting older) do I want to start over? Do I want to lose my benefits? This job will give me opportunities to go back to school, but do not have the money to do so. Please don't say gov grant, still paying off student loan from the past. The new job however limited in salary and hours would give me the education to pursue higher paying jobs but not until I've worked it and proved myself capable of doing the job. I've spent 6 yrs establishing myself for a promotion and so far this is the best I can do. I guess I'm looking for a sounding board and hoping that someone can give me some feedback on this. I do have to do what is right for me. In a dilemma!!

Pet Peeve....... Posted: 7/16/2006 3:20:11 PM
Is it just me or many? You put an age preference and people ignore it. You also post photo, please!! Getting tired of replying to those who are not in age preference and no photos. Will not give out email address to those with no photos or not in age preference. Tired of the game and may be leaving site for good! Sorry just venting! May get backlash for this, but Oh! Well! Know what I want and looking for. Got a problem with this, talk to the hand!!!! Will only be deleting from now on!!

Is it still expected that men pay for everything Posted: 7/15/2006 6:31:30 PM
I didn't know they served wine at McDonald's? Which one did you go to?? Did it have a screw top or cork?? Please let me know before I invite someone out for dinner!! I'm over 45 yrs and if I'm invited I expect the guy to pay, if however I do the inviting, I will pay, including wine, no screw top. I do prefer to have meal cooked for me as spent most of life cooking for others. Not objective to cooking, just depends on the person of interest.

When to break off the F buddy Posted: 6/18/2006 10:17:15 PM
What's to break off?? You both already agreed that this was a non-commital enjoyment right from the begining right?? If not you were not FB's. Both parties know that when things change they change. FB's are someone to fill the time with. You don't go out on dates, you don't go to the movies or have dinner together, you just F__k. If you have more than that then your not FB's. Don't get me wrong you do have some things in common or at least should have some sort of conversation, then it's down to business. How did we as society forget the terminology of FB meant!! When you start putting expectations and hope to it, move on he/she is no longer a FB but a boyfriend or girlfriend in the hoping.

When you go to sleep at night... Posted: 6/10/2006 3:01:42 AM
My favorite position is with a feather pillow beneath my head in the middle of the bed and 2 on each side of me! When the right person comes just 2 pillows, one for him and one for me unless he wants to share!!

He has been married 4 times.........a danger sign or what... Posted: 6/10/2006 2:34:41 AM
Head for the hills girl!!! 4 times married before, what makes you think that No5 is the charm?? Please don't be desparate enough to fall for this guy!! We all want someone to love but this guy has it down to a science when it comes to marriage. RED FLAG!!!!! Get with the program girl, he is a 4 time loser, obviously he may not think he is in the wrong. It takes two to tango and two to make a bad marriage. What is wrong with this guy? He hasn't learned how to play house right. Get real and quit being desparate, your making the rest of us look desparate too. Not 50 yet, he's got a lot of soul searching to do. He can't keep thinking that another relationship will work, he hasn't worked on the first 4 yet!! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!!! Don't be naive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a glass of wine, bubble bath before you even consider this. Bath and drink will allow you time to think what a big mistake this relationship would be!!!!!!!!!!1 Your not a stupid person but someone who is behaving stupidly!!

Making someone feel at ease before you meet for the first time Posted: 6/4/2006 7:48:42 PM
Sorry to say but it sounds like he was looking for an easy way out. You deserve so much better than his cheap cop-out. He may have been playing the field with others and used that as an excuse to call it off. Maybe he's the one with the 200lb attitude and couldn't face up to it. Better off without him now before first date than after a few like me!!

I guess after all I wasn't that into him. I called a couple of friends over and we enjoyed the seafood dinner with a couple of bottles of wine. I did learn something from this experience and that is "Only eat out at restaurants from now on" and cooking dinners are left for true friends who appreciate my company and cooking!! Thanks y'all

You are better off without the dip!! My daughter has a pit and she is the most loving pet ever especially around my grandson. She gets along with other breeds of dogs as well. So poo to those ignorant people who condemn pits.

Topics of Conversation that End a Date Rather Quickly Posted: 6/3/2006 12:14:08 PM
Hate it when someone asks me what I do for a living. I'm not embarassed by my work but when you say you are a counsellor, they start looking for a free session and tell you all their problems. This is definitly a date killer!!!

How you reacted to a break up..... Posted: 6/3/2006 11:39:43 AM
Scenario: good looking man, fifth date, dinner at home... I had planned a dinner at home with this guy I was dating and before dinner we took a walk to a nearby park. During our conversation he was making plans for future dates and we agreed to go horseback riding the next weekend. When we arrived back at my place he told me he couldn't do this anymore. And I asked him what he was talking about? He said he couldn't see me anymore. Stunned, I said O.K. and went inside while he drove off. Half hour later he calls and says he did not like my response. I asked him what kind of response was he looking for? He hung up and called again, a total of 4 times before I shut my phone off. If it's over, it's over, what the hell was he looking for? Anyone else with this kind of experience??
