I like to add some frozen petite English peas to the hot mixture a minute or two before serving, usually over rice. If I am in a hurry, I slice the chicken breast into 1/2 to 3/4 inch medallions across the grain and cook them on the stove top (medium heat) in undiluted mushroom soup just until...

If you order progressive lenses, I'd like to know how that works out. I'm thinking that my new glasses will cost about $1,000...from Sams Club. That was the approximate cost for my last pair a couple of years ago. They are Nikon frameless progressive lenses.

I like W2R's suggestion

We recently visited the doctor and had blood work done. Both DH and I have low Vit D levels, but DH is unusually low...mmm 18, I think. The RX for each of us was 1,000 units of Vit D daily, and an RX for 8 pills 50,000 units Vit D to be taken 1/wk for 8 wks for DH. DH spends a lot of time...

Several years ago I got a notice from IRS that I had an error on my taxes that resulted in a penalty and interest...and counting until they received payment. I was traveling in Alaska and their letter took well over a month to be forwarded to me. I called them and asked for the exact amount I...

Good luck, Brat. Glad to see that you have such a positive attitude. Have all of my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Ahhh! Life is good.

Are you sure you are not my husband?! Same problem, here. DH will wave and say hi, then walk on. Sometimes I get stuck "visiting" with neighbors...well, sometimes it's stuck, other times it's a nice little visit. When I catch up to DH, he's usually miffed that I stopped. I have learned to...

Posts are pretty civil, so far!

I treat it as an expense, too.

+1, but no pension.

The following reference describes the post tax 401k (what ever you may have) dilema. I had a very small dollar amount (~$1K) of post-tax 401k compared to the "big pot" of all of my IRA funds. I recently did a rollover from an old 401k and the administrator cut me a check for the after tax...

Nortel...enough said.

That was my first introduction to olive oil, too. Dr. called it sweet olive oil. Good pie crust is wonderful and there's not much worse than bad pie crust. I'm the world's worst pie crust maker. This thread has inspired me to buy some lard and give it another try.

+1...actually, plus a whole bunch!

Thanks, will try that. I did tell the ipad2 to forget the BT device, then did a fresh "pair". Worked yesterday, not today. Do you have to do a reboot of the ipad every time you want to use a BT feature?

I received an ipad2 for Christmas. Thank you DS! I am new to the apple world and have a question. I have a plantronics pro-hd headset (which is also new to me). The bluetooth headset works fine with my phone(s) and I can use it to listen to music on the ipad2. My problem is with skype. Sometimes...

Merry Christmas to all of you, and a happy new year!

I am so sorry for your loss. There are very few dreams I remember, but from time to time, I seem to be in the presence of loved ones who have passed. It is unsettling, yet comforting. Dad appears as a young man and is always smiling but never speaks. Mom has yet to appear but she seems to be...

I've read enough of your posts to know how very generous you are. I'm glad you posted this response. :flowers:

Most enjoyable! Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!

This too shall pass. Keeps you humble when times are good and gives you hope when times are bad.

End of the month will be 15 years. Didn't retire, just said I'd had all of the fun I could handle.

I have all of my fingers and toes crossed for you!!
