No Flour Peanut Butter Cookies Posted: 11/8/2009 7:05:09 PM
I tried this recipe and the cookies are great! I'm gluten intolerant and thought I would never be able to enjoy some of my favorite cookies again. But this gluten free recipe is wonderful.

What's the upside to being over 50 and single Posted: 11/1/2009 8:26:26 AM
Op, I would much rather be in a relationship than alone. But there are some pluses to being single. I think the main one has been mentioned by several people already-the complete freedom to choose all the things you want to do or how you want to live. But you need to use that freedom to enjoy it. If you simply work, come home, do nothing, you're going to be bored and lonely. And if you were married for a long time you may be out of practice with trying new things, I know I was. So you've got to step outside of your comfort zone and do something different, try something new. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, buy a can of paint and change the color of a room to something new, something you would love. Stop to eat on the way home from work at a new restaurant, someplace you've never been before with cuisine you've never tried. Check out some new hobbies, take a class, find places to hear live music. Whatever you can find, do it. You may find it's not for you but you'll start to understand that you do have choices and how to act on them.

Approaching a group Posted: 9/27/2009 10:14:12 AM
aww rocker it's not that hard. Just walk up and ask her to dance or start a conversation about the band or whatever and then introduce yourself extending your hand for a handshake. Just don't do what one guy did....I was out with a couple of friends awhile back and a man kept staring at me. He was doing it all night and even when I nodded an acknowledgement across the room, he never responded. My friends also noticed and were keeping an eye on things as it was rather unnerving. Near the end of the evening he finally approached and said, " The bone structure of your face intrigues me." That was it, nothing else, then he just walked off and out the door.

Is it possible for men to flirt Posted: 9/25/2009 3:19:46 AM
Marco, I was not serious lol. It was a tongue in cheek response to the OP's question. I would imagine everyone has received at least a few rude messages if they've been here for awhile, especially if they were here when the IM was active. But I've found that the majority of people who contact me are very nice and many know how to flirt very well!

Woodstock! Posted: 9/13/2009 7:57:20 PM
I was talking with a friend last week about Woodstock. I helped in the cover-up for a friend's older brother's attendance. He must have been a junior in high school at the time. He took off without his parents knowing where he was. He got in soooo much trouble when he returned home and I felt so bad. But he just smiled this silly grin and said it was worth it! He got the albums later on and kept them hidden only playing them when his parents were out (lol it was a sore subject for a long time.) I remember everytime he played them seeing that same grin. lol

SO???? Just how modern are you old farts????? LOL Posted: 9/13/2009 7:09:15 PM
I've only had a cell phone for 4 years. Until this year it was a prepaid that my son gave me for my birthday as an emergency phone and it was seldom used. I can finally get high speed internet out here in the sticks so I got one of those AT&T package deals. Now I'm using my new cell so much that my land line is never used. And ohhh do I love high speed internet! Miss and episode of a favorite TV program-find it the next day online. You-tube music is fantastic and I love Pandora. Everything that dial-up couldn't handle I can now enjoy. I honestly thought I would hate texting, but have found out that I love it. I can take personal calls at work any time I like, but am usually too busy. But a text message only takes a minute. I's so easy for all those quick replies. I've used IM for personal use for about 10 years and at work for about 5. Again, it's easy, convienient, and quick. I went to buy a new computer a year or so ago and wasn't really taken seriously by the sales clerk until I saw an Acer computer and asked if this was the same company that built the Acer Rack way back when. Ahhh those wild midi tunes lol My music is rather mixed. I love country, all our old rock, and some of the newer stuff learned when my youngest programed my car radio, but I also go crazy over Irish rock which borders on punk. I like My Space. I can keep in touch with a lot of friends and family all in one spot. I know what's going on this weekend, whose birthday it is, etc. I'm not any where near geekness, but what I know about I really enjoy. And I look forward to what may come next. Edit Post: Forgot values. The basics have remained the same. But how I interact with some has evolved. Thirty years ago I never thought I would ever 'get to know someone through E-mail ' before actually meeting them or plan group get-togethers through an internet service such as Meet up.

My 34 yr old daughter and I have never set anything up for each other, but we do let each other know of anyone we think the other may find interesting and pass on any details we may know. I'd say you probably have a very good adult relationship with your daughter. Which is why she sees you not only as her mother, but also as another adult. Without any parent/child issues she just wants to see you happy. Go and have fun!

Awww you guys are making me homesick. Growing up I spent summers on Loon Lake outside of Florence. You know, just up the road from Fence & Fern on Hwy 101. So many memories. I went back to WI this summer for a visit. It was the first time in 18 years. I really miss it. I've lived in Texas for over 30 years now, but my heart is still out water sking on Keys Lake!

Have you tried a work/travel combination? Posted: 8/29/2009 6:41:28 AM
Some friends of mine did this for several years after their last child left home. He was a master plumber and would take jobs all over the country. They started out traveling by motorcyle and eventually bought a travel trailer. Wherever the next job was they found a park for the trailer and enjoyed the local area for a few to several months before traveling on to the next job. They really enjoyed those years, but started missing the grandkids and so settled down again in order to be a part of the kid's lives. Now they're both retired and recently bought a camper. They take off for shorter trips throughout the south whenever the urge hits.

How important is sameness to you at this stage of the game? Posted: 8/20/2009 6:09:53 PM
As long as core values are the same it doesn't matter to me if interests are varied. Of course repecting others interests is one of the core values. I love a wide variety of music. Lately I've been listening to everything from Leanard Cohen to Flogging Molly. My daughter took me to see the band Blaggards for my birthday and I had a fantastic time-I love that band! I haven't heard from a man I'm dating most of this week, I know he's out with his friends watching games at a sports bar. I'm not into sports at all. At this time in my life it doesn't matter as much to me that we have a lot of varied interests. I've been happily on my own for a number of years, I don't need someone 24/7 involved in everything I do. I won't drag him to listen to Irish punk/rock and he doesn't expect me to enjoy sitting through a televised sports game. Works for me.

Phoebe, they don't have to be costly. First meets don't have to be in expensive coffee shops or restaurants. I did a meetup at a flea market and we had a great time. NO cost. Last weekend one date was a free concert in a park. We had a great time. He brought bottled water (from wallys,) I brought lawn chairs. And the most memorable date I ever had was an evening spent strolling along a harbour. Talking, laughing, holding hands, getting to know each other. It's not the cost - it's the person and the conversation that matter.

Nothing much has changed for me. Perhaps one area. I've always felt uncomfortable having my dates pay for everything yet they usually do and so have always suggested moderately priced or free things for us to do, choose lower priced items on a menu, etc. But the economy being what it is, I'm now even more aware and try even harder.

discomfort dating son's friend Posted: 8/18/2009 6:30:49 PM
lol jackal thats the only thing in this that never gave me pause. I have good friends in a wide age group. Add to that, my kids grew up in a small community where you became friends with a wide age group of people out of necessity. They all have friends both older and younger. Demon DB, thanks, I think I understand what's going on better after I read your post. I didn't feel I was being selfish in persuing a relationship, but at the same time I don't think I realized all the dynamics involved and how it could hurt their friendship. Or at very least, change it.

discomfort dating son's friend Posted: 8/18/2009 5:22:27 PM
I'm hoping to better understand a dificulty in a new relationship. Last month I met a very good friend of my 31 yr old son and we hit it off. He's my age and we have a lot in common, but the two of them are uncomfortable at times. They've known each other for eight years and have a pretty close friendship. When I first told my son that his friend had asked me out he started laughing and said it was just too weird. He laughed for days after, but seems adjusted to the idea. However, my date seems to still be uncomfortable around my son. He is very careful to avoid absolutely all physical contact if my son is present. Won't even hold my hand. And I don't think it would be possible to go any slower in a relationship than this! He seems perfectly at ease when his own adult boys are around. And at times when we have all been out together, he and my son slip into their old comfortable relationship and start joking around. Then they seem to back off a bit. Is this just going to take some time for him to adjust? I'm not sure if I should discuss it with him or give him time to work it out on his own. When he picked me up at my son's house last week, we got to the car and I teased him a bit saying, 'I don't get a kiss in front of my son?' And he answered a curt 'Nope, not yet' and changed the subject.

Car brake question Posted: 7/27/2009 6:04:24 PM
After reading all of this, and doubting myself how and why both locked up right after they worked on them.... I know it's possible that I did get ripped off. My friend had talked to the mechanic and looked at the parts, and he agreed with what they were telling him. So I went with his opinion. And we didn't get the parts. But I have definately lost confidence in the shop.

Car brake question Posted: 7/27/2009 7:39:35 AM
Thank you everyone. I just got back from the shop. Didn't get it towed. A friend drove it into town for me using the emergency brake. Both calipers had locked up and had to be replaced. So it turns out it wasn't the mechanics fault-other than that when/if he test drove it I think he should have noticed it wasn't right-I had noticed it was a little funky as I drove out, but not knowing any better I thought it was just because the pads were new and needed to be pumped. One good thing, the guy that worked on it this morning was one of the old mechanics who has been there for years and I know he's good. Thanks again all! wist

Thanks everyone for all the advise and information. I do feel better prepared to deal with the shop tomorrow! Its a mechanic shop and so I'm going to call them and have the car towed in. I was lucky yesterday, there was no one in front of me and a parking lot that I could turn into to get off the road. I may not be so lucky tomorrow. I've been dealing with this shop for years, but just heard that several of the mechanics he has working for him now have a bad reputation around town. Wish I had known before I agreed to the work!

Car brake question Posted: 7/26/2009 5:52:47 AM
Gent, I have no problem spending the money to fix a problem. Especially such a vital one as BRAKES! I just don't want to get ripped off because of my ignorance on the subject so wanted to learn more. I've had the car 4 1/2 years and haven't had any problems. Only maintainance costs, tires, brakes, oil changes, etc. However, it has over 130,000 miles on it and could be running into problems soon. And no slamming on brakes often. I think the tires were almost two years old and weren't worn so bad that any thread was showing. Since I drive approx 2,000 miles a month, they held up quite well. And no, I didn't tell him anything about money when he brought up the need for brakes. Hmm master cylinder, huh? lol have no clue what that is. I think I am confusing the issue. He said I needed brake PADS, not brakes.

Car brake question Posted: 7/26/2009 5:07:39 AM
Hey fellow fishies I need some help in understanding how my brakes work. Yesterday morning I had new brake pads put on the front of my car. I went to drive the car in the afternoon and had no brakes. They slowed me down, but I had the pedal all the way to the floor as I went through a red light. The shop was already closed for the day so will need to bring it back to them on Monday. I'm afraid he's going to try to avoid taking responsibility for the problem so I wanted to find out all I can about how the brakes work and how they could fail so I'll know if he's just telling me a bunch of BS. I didn't actually have any problems with my brakes, I went to the shop for tires and he told me my brakes were very worn and would only last a week so I went ahead and had them changed. I have a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am. I beleive there are drum brakes in the rear.

Teenagers and older kids causing problems Posted: 7/21/2009 6:36:40 PM
Op, I live in a small community, everyone knows each other so dating someone here and breaking up with them can cause a lot of problems. Everyone is someone's friend or relative. I've found that it's a matter of just letting things go. You have to here. I would suggest you be the adult who has it all together and realise that things didn't work out for the two of you, but that doesn't and shouldn't affect other's relationships. It can be hard, believe me I know from personal experience and also watching my daughter go through the exact same thing, but sometimes it's the best you can do in a difficult situation. Last night I oohed and ahhed over the most beautiful baby, the grandchild of a man who dumped me lol. I KNOW what you are going through. Let it go and move on.

Hard physical work seems to help me the most. The ice cream, the bottle of wine, the pedicures, never worked. I got through the night, but was down the next day. But if I make myself go work in the yard I feel great after a short time and fantastic the next day. Sore, but fantastic. I have a couple of wild acres so my yard work is serious labor. The physical workout coupled with the beauty of what I've acomplished always seems to help the most.

The N Word Still Used in 2009! Posted: 6/5/2009 9:22:41 PM
Op, sadly it lives on. I live in a small town in the South and I'm happy to say that I raised my kids to be better than this. Watching my children, I love seeing them cringe or offer a smart alec retort in anger when they hear people around them use derogatory terms. But I also know many who have perpetuated ignorance in their children and grandchildren. Sadly, the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. And so ignorance lives on.

What do men vs women consider to be RED FLAGS?. Posted: 6/5/2009 8:22:43 PM
Everyone has listed so many red flags that I agree with, but the one that will turn me off the quickest are people who do not show respect for others. They are more than a red flag to me, more like a jet black one- they've killed any thought of wanting to spend any more time with them. Whether it's racial, economic, physical attributes, nationality, or anything else, I can not stand being with someone who puts others down. It grates against my nature.

Share your Poor Man's Breakfast dishes here Posted: 5/29/2009 9:20:51 PM
One my kids favorite breakfasts was bread pudding. I would add whatever I had on hand. Raisons, chopped apples, and cinnamon were favorites. When the pears from the back yard were ripe I used chopped pears, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Sometimes I made it with cinnamon and no fruit and would top each serving with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Kids go absolutely nuts over ice cream at breakfast! I never used an exact recipe, but fill a 1 1/2 quart cassorole dish with cut up stale bread layered with any fruit you're using. In a separate bowl whisk together 1 or 2 eggs, cinnamon or other spices if using, about a 1/4 cup of sugar, and about a cup of milk. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and add enough milk to not quite cover the top of the bread. Squoosh the bread down into the milk slightly, it has a tendancy to float, and sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar. Bake 350 degrees until the top is nicely browned. (I can't remember how long this takes lol) Serve warm. A wonderful treat on a cold morning! Living in Texas I have come to love breakfast tacos. Choriso, eggs and cheese. Or refried beans, eggs, fried potatoes, bacon, and cheese. Or potatoes, eggs and cheese, or sausage, egg, and cheese. ohhhh the list goes on and on. And of course a good salsa on all of them!

I picked wild mushrooms with my dad growing up and before using them he would heat them to boiling in a large kettle with a silver dollar in it. He claimed the silver would turn black if any of the mushrooms were poisonous. I have wild blackberry and dew berry all through the woods in my yard and I love it! Wild blackberry syrup was a favorite of my kids growing up.

I see this is an older post, but wanted to add a good resource I found this morning. The Kroger grocery chain's online site has a list of their private label foods that are gluten-free. Just go to kroger.com and do a search for gluten free. A few less labels to decipher! Sweet!

Greg, I believe the self-proclaimed nice guys who woobytoodsday is referring to are the type of guys who are like the one I met for a meet and greet. We had little in common, there were no sparks, we weren't a match. I was polite, I also tried to pay for my drink; however when I told him sorry we just weren't a match, he went off on me. I received several scathing, hateful e-mails each rant containing variations of how I and all women on this site are only playing games, after money, saying we want a good guy but are continually turning him down. Self proclaimed good guys like the one I met are VERY different from the truely good and decent men out there.

I feel uncomfortable with someone in their mid 40's, but flattered. Any one younger than that and it's weird. If I have shoes older than they are-it's definately weird. On the other hand I have a good friend in her 40's who last year married her long time boyfriend who is in his mid 20's. And they are happy. Very happy. They've been together since he was 19. I don't understand it, but they are happy and I'm happy for them. It works for them, but I still crack up when one of her grandkids calls him papaw.

Has Busy consumed our lives? Posted: 4/26/2009 7:57:55 AM
I was thinking about this yesterday. Seven months ago my personal life was turned upside down by Hurricane Ike and I had my workload at my job increase and my pay decrease. And of course I needed both time and money to get my personal life back in order. Life has been busy, hectic, and stressful. I still managed to find time to go out, but I know in one instance with a really nice guy, I didn't put the time or effort into getting to know him that I otherwise would have. I still have a lot of work to do here at home, but the worst is over. I realized yesterday that I needed to relax and enjoy how far I've come and quit looking at how much more there was to do. It may take a few years to accomplish it all, but I don't want to spend the next two years working day and night stressing over it.

Hey Kickn, I've always wanted to visit Washington state, and I understand you have an empty room...

3 chores you dislike doing as a single person Posted: 4/22/2009 8:01:49 PM
#1. Car repairs- I just KNOW I'm being ripped off. #2. Household repairs. I moved two months ago, but I still don't have my washer and dryer hooked up. And a cable runs from the tv, around the fireplace, along the living room wall, sneaks through the dining room, down the hall to my bedroom to the antenna that's propped up on my dresser. My nightly mantra is, "I WILL get a ladder this weekend and install the damn thing outside." #3. Removing snakes. One was in my mower last week. We argued, we fought, I ranted, I raved, I chased him with a stick, he flicked his little forked tongue at me and slithered up under the dash. He won.

Interesting Egg Salad Posted: 4/22/2009 6:45:08 PM
Not sure if its Atkins compatible but choriso and eggs are great on their own or made into a breakfast burrito with cheese and salsa. Choriso is a spicy Mexican sausage. Remove the choriso from it's casing and cook in a frying pan breaking it apart and drain off the grease. Add beaten eggs and scramble them in, cooking until set but not dry. I use an 8 to 10 inch link of sausage with 6 eggs. Depending on how spicy the sausage is you may need to add salt.
