Happy Winter Solstice

Some of you are probably already getting it, but here in middle Michigan, freezing rain, snow, ice. Tonight into tomorrow. We're talking maybe 10 inches. YUK! ...

Funny winter clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cCXPjS14i8 ...

So, here in the south, when ever we have winter storm forecast everyone rushes to store and stocks up on french toast infredients (milk, eggs, bread). The grocery shelves will be literally bare. Its sort of bizarre. I always thought it was strange to stock up on milk, eggs, and bread, rather than other things. What do you stock up on when winter weather is forecast? So, here in the south, when ever we have winter storm forecast everyone rushes to store and stocks up on french toast infr ...

Chuck roast 5-6 beef bullion cubes 1 pkg dry onion soup mix 1 LARGE BOTTLE V8 juice and not tomato juice 1 large package of frozen mixed vegetables 2-3 potatoes cubed/diced (optional) 1/2 head (or thereabouts of cabbage -- this depends on size of cabbage and size of pot, etc.) Brown the chuck roast with the onion soup and bullion until "fork tender" and able to shread (about 1-2 hours -- when it falls apart, when picking up with a fork, its done -- set aside and let cool. ...

disaster for the U.S., not just ecologic. Updated expectation (this article is a week old) is for a new possible crisis point in January.

The worst drought in half a century has brought water levels in the Mississippi close to historic lows and could shut down all shippi ...

I love to cook! Always have. Since I was young I have collected family recipes, changed them around (or not) and have honed my skills to the point where I have earned the title of "family cook". I can do it all! I even make homemade cakes and decorate them for family gatherings. I have index cards, ringed binders and tons and tons of recipes on random pieces of paper put away in boxes. A couple of Christmases ago I decided that since times are tough and gifts for o ...

Going to be 80 degrees today - our average on St Pats is 49 and record high from 1966 is 72 degrees - love it when we beat the record highs but kind of wishing I had bought burgers and hot dogs for dinner instead of corned beef and cabbage - maybe we will eat it outside can't say I have ever had corned beef and cabbage outside. ...

This story is one illustrates why government-controlled health care can be a dangerous thing. The doctors and the government took choice away from these parents and basically said "sorry, your child is just going to die, no tracheotomy for him." Religious organization from the US stepped in, brought him down here, US docs did the trach, and now he can spent his last days comfortably at home with his parents. One can only hope that never happens here. ...

I am still in school, and it seems like everyone on the boards is miserable and there's no future for MT. Not very much to keep anyone motivated in school. I still have about 6-9 months left. Is anyone happy, or at least content in their job? I am a future WAHM, mother of two sons, ages 7 and 2. I used to work in social services, and thought I'd do this for a while. Please give me some hope! ...

I am really happy right now and I just wanted to talk about it. I am really grateful to be working for a good company, making a decent salary. I wish all of us were. And I just feel like I need to thank God "officially". Because it can always be worse. I thank him for this opportunity, and I pray it continues. When good things happen for you, you have to thank him. Thank you God. ...

I thought this **** (yeah you guess it, a four letter word) was supposed to stop after the last time, but nooooo they are pulling this **** again. They will not be happy until they have stolen the election - ab http://washingtonexaminer.com/philly-gop-poll-inspectors-being-ousted-for-dems/article/2512714#.UJlPNmfbR5u ...

I just wanted to wish a Happy Hanukkah to all the other Members of the Tribe out there! Bring on the latkes and jelly doughnuts! ...

I know we often disagree on this board, but I hope that everyone -- liberal, conservative or in between -- has a wonderful, safe and happy Thanksgiving. If you're spending it with your relatives (as you might do every year and sometimes dread doing so), try to look at them in a new light and be grateful you still have your family. If you have no family, cook a meal and invite a neighbor or someone who also has no family to share your meal with you. It might wind up being your best Tha ...

All I need to know I learned from the Easter Bunny! Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Everyone needs a friend who is all ears. & ...

From Rasmussen... In Nebraska, just 17% approve of the Medicaid deal cut by Senator Ben Nelson to secure his vote on health care reform. Nelson is now down by 30 points in an early look at his 2012 Reelection Bid. Republicans now lead by five points on the Generic Congressional Ballot. That’s a big change from the seven-point lead enjoyed by Democrats when President Obama was inaugurated. Coincidentally, Obama's approval rating has sunk to -16. One can only hope th ...

Seems only right we should offer thanks on this board of faith. I am thankful to those in the invisible realms that watch after us and guide us throughout our lives. ...

common sense American patriot from the New England states, excluding our periennal black sheep state New Hampshire. We don't abide fool's errands and welcome the new healthcare bill. We voted for Obama and appreciate that he has fulfilled his campaign promise. The polls are starting to show approval of the bill. ...

I drug myself out of bed this morning feeling tired and mad at the world. Nothing new! I'm not really a morning person. I took a shower, felt better. I opened up the sliding glass door in my bed room and WHOOSH! A gust of fresh air blew in! It was cool and smelled green and fresh from the rain last night. I opened up the other windows and doors throughout the house and the breeze and scent swirling around my house lifted my spirits. I had a fe ...

To all mothers, young and old have a great day. ...

May your 51st bring you the best belated B-day gift ever....many happy election returns this fall, all wrapped up neat and tidy in a big shiny blue satin bow. ...

We are all Americans first and foremost ...

I think we should all call a truce today and be thankful that we have the right in this country to openly gripe and complain like we do. In a lot of places we would all be in prison by now. LOL. Enjoy the day everyone. ...

Just wondering if any woman is ever truly "happy" with her body? I have always had weight struggles and had gotten very heavy and I lost it all about five years ago. I was happy, at first, but then it went away. I am not underweight and am actually at the high end of "normal" weight, but I just cannot be happy about how I look. I decided I needed to lose 10 more pounds for this summer and worked hard and lost it, but I still look in the mirror and I think I see myself a l ...
