Yuck???? Pecan yum! hee hee hee

My choice is the cream cheese triple chocolate pumpkin pie.

At this moment, I would love to have any ideas on making laundry detergent. I have been suffering for the past 2 weeks with a horrible allergic skin rash from Sun Tropical Breeze detergent. I have already learned of 4 more cases of this rash from the same detergent. So, any mild home-made ideas are welcome here....

I use' soap nuts' aka soap berries first into a tea & toss the soap berries tea bag into the washer, to alter the wash water Ph, you can buy, grow & harvest it yourself. if you wish. then I use vinegar as a safe & enviromentally & allergen free fabric softener. here is the link to soap berries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapindus
good health!

Being superstitious is bad luck. ;-/

IMHO, As It was explained to me & as I understand it, a cleric member of the Roman church changed the former (old) calender to the currently used Gergorian calender. the former calneder Had 13 months, and to create conversion to the Gergorian calender, 13 was denoted as "unlucky" to encourage conversion to the later calender advocated by the church. 13 the day is not unlucky, rather it was the misunderstanding-myth maintained thru the centuries

Concerning rain dances, here is a quote from Gov. William Bradford's "History of Plymouth Plantation" in which an Indian who observed God-given rain save the Pilgrims' corn crop:
"Now I see that the Englishman's God is a good God; for He hath heard you and sent you rain, and that without such tempest and thunder as we used to have with our rain; after which our Powawing for it. breaks down the corn; whereas your corn stands whole and good still; surely, your God is a good God."

Thanks Laurie, the weather definately is connected to ailments in the body!

Proudly flying my American Flag and will be attending the Veteran's Day parade in Petaluma, CA at 1pm today.

Execellent history of Veterans Day (WWI Armistice signed and hostilities ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). Thank you to all U.S. Veterans!

Homemade gifts are wonderful. Great ideas ...keep them coming.

Take time to clean out the stuff you've been storing for the kids and other family members. Wrap it up, and put the homemade goodies they always expect with it and give it to them for Christmas. You'll save money, and clean out your storage at the same time!

66 and sunny in Tucson... going to 84...

Loving the wonderful Indian Summer weather here! If only it could last all winter... But the shortness of Indian Summer is what makes it such a time to savor while it lasts.

We mix sausage in the stuffing and it is delicious! We are ready and having relatives come up from Virginia Beach.The instant mashed potatoes ideas are great. We use the garlic mashed potatoes...So goood!

Wood, when the electric goes out I can still heat the house

I'm building a house in northeast ohio. I want wood burning stove to supplement Liquid propane furnace in 2000 sq ft cape cod. Any suggestions on a brand?

......I love snow! Nothing like drinking hot chocolate and looking outside and everthing is white and sparkling. Snow really brings me joy!

No snow here....but yes it is Beautiful...especially "the first snowfall"

Is it really only the food that matters? Have we totally forgotten the part about GIVING THANKS TO GOD? So sad.

In my family, we say prayers at every holiday dinner! Even if we visit a restuarant, we pray before we eat any meal! We gives thanks to our God before we celebrate.

Imagine the turnout then ... thanks for the comments
