Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY, canoegirl! And welcome to JSH! How sweet of you to drop in!!!

I'll have a funnel cake with powdered sugar and some Krispy Kremes, please.........

OK, so I have a sugar thing going on this morning

Who here is an October baby? Let's light the candles and bring out the ice cream!

Subject too deep for my shallow waters, bro

Dear Diary: It's Monday....again. I guess I should be thankful for the thunderstorm last night, and the fact that it didn't blow up my computer so I could make this entry. OK...can you say run-on sentence ???

I'll have the cream with a little coffee added. Gotta love the flavored creamers~~~~~~~~~~~~

For whatever reason, you have been equiped with ONE super power of your choosing. What would it be?

I would like to be able to become invisible...think of the possibilities....

Hi, Guys and Gals............

Nice blades, there, Tom

Snuggles: I made these for Christmas gifts one year and got rave reviews. I think everyone appreciates homemade gifts.

I would also suggest putting bean soup ingredients as well as your favorite cookie/bar ingredients along with the recipe in a jar. By doing this, it allows the recipient to make the treat at his/her convenience. Happy Cooking :-)

Glazed And Salted Pecans

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 quart pecan halves
Salt
2 or 3 generous Tablespoons light corn syrup

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat the oil and syrup in a heavy iron skillet, stirring to combine as well as possible. Add the pecan halves and stir to coat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until nuts are crisp, for a total of about 1 hour. Turn nuts out onto waxed paper, separate them and sprinkle generously with salt. Store in a tightly closed container.

Fancy Toasted Pecans

Beat white of 1 egg until stiff; add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup brown sugar; beat well. Add 2 cups pecan halves. Stir until well coated. Place each half separately on greased cookie sheet. (Put small pieces in cluster.) Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees. Bake until light brown (approx. 25-30 minutes).

2 1/4 cup sugar
2 cups Tang (or like powdered drink)
3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons instant tea
1 teaspoon powdered cloves

You will be missed!

I got a (what I considered to be) hateful email from a guy who told me I needed professional intervention if I was looking for some guy 20 years old! I had NO idea what he was talking about until he responded to my reply stating that my profile said that. I pointed out to him that it says, Gender: Any, too. I put it that way, because in the past ppl have let me know that they wanted to email me, but because of my settings, they couldn't. It is a bit misleading, but as far as I know, that's the only way you won't block/prevent ppl from contacting you via email. I'm here to make friends, any age, any sex...I am NOT, and repeat...NOT looking for a 20-year old partner!!! Ewwwww....that's just SICK...I have children much older than that!

Don't know what idiot deleted your topic, but whatever...thank you for bouncing back and "threading" again!

Welcome!

Welcome, JettRyder!

Your cynicism won't be the only cynicism noted in the threads, trust me on this one!

Sorry to hear about your seperation, but while you are healing, you are doing the right thing by hanging around this joint. Just roll with the punches and be yourself.

My needing a fan MAY be an issue...Tom likes it quiet and I've got to have "background" noise. Hmmmm...... He squeezes the toothpaste in the right way, though.....

Night, all~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks, sweetums.........

I'll take 'em all three and then I wonder if I should crawl between the sheets for a while............

I'm wondering if there are a couple of good-ole-boys who'd buy a girl a drink~~~~~~~~

I wonder if you had the whisperer if you could handle her....

Oh, that's in another thread, isn't it?

Oh, don't you worry~~~~~~~~I've got specific plans for it!
I'm wondering why you're such a QTPie and not taken....
