where did the term "make it" come from? and what exactly does it mean? what exactly is it that is endeavored to be made? eg. she "made it" through the blizzard or he didn't think he'd make it past the first stage of auditions. Not really sure, Jas. I suppose it's better than NOT making it, though. |

Yes. Yes it is. But ya know what?? You talked yourself out of wanting it...but the job, it would seem, wants YOU. Apparently you were all knowing and wise once again, JAG...the job wants me! I've been told a Board member will contact me no later than Tuesday to offer for me and negotiate my contract. I am still a little overwhelmed by the way this transpired...it has all been very surreal. I'm excited but still in a state of shock, I think! Wow... Thank you for your support and friendship, everyone! This is what happens when good things happen to good people. :-) Congrats. |

I think perhaps I'll sleep really, really well for the first time in months now that I know where my path is heading... Again, thanks for your friendship, advice, and for always having a ready ear... |

GEEZ... JAG? What's a girl to do??? I can believe that...lmao Eat healthy, work out...yer still gonna wind up having something wrong that you'll have to fix. See, the thing is....you lost the 33#...but those pounds were hiding the cholesterol. Now that you've lost the pounds, your cholesterol came out of hiding just to mess with you. |

Anybody in the cold states thawing out this weekend? Nope. 10 degrees and snowing to beat hell outside. Along with the wind, it " feels like " -8. |

SOooooo....
my son and his friend have had an hour of kitchen chemistry under the guise of finding food. Guess what happens when you dip the following in pancake batter and fry them: Orange slices? Apples? Bananas? Blueberries? (Your answer clue: One of these doesn't work!) |

Apples? Bananas? Blueberries? (Your answer clue: One of these doesn't work!) I would imagine it would be the orange slices because of the acid in the juice. That, added to the fact that the orange slices release the juice far more easily than any of the other items would tend to lead to, not only a funky taste, but also to a VERY runny pancake batter. |

Actually (they made me come taste, acknowledge my wrong-ness and bow in humble admiration) the oranges worked okay - I thought they'd be a disaster but they were actually tasty. The BLUEBERRIES just grew, and grew, and threatened messy explosion! WHO KNEW?? |

I knew, the difference is the berry is whole with a skin & steam builds up. I don't like making blueberry pancakes.

Hmmm...never would have seen that one coming. I didn't see it coming either...I'd been smart and LEFT THE KITCHEN so I didn't have to witness whatever madness they cooked up! Sanity prevailed! Woo-hoo! |

Nothing wrong with that, I just happen to love baking & cooking. I am looking at a restaurant next weekend with a good friend.
