    Pot luck ideas

    At my last pot luck, I bought a $7 rotisserie chicken. I know you can get them cheaper if you shop around or cook them yourself, but I didn't have time.

    Enchanted

    I saw trailers for this in the theater a few months ago and I was laughing out loud. I'd like to see it.

    Drunk at the Christmas Party Warning!

    Another thing that isn't attractive, but not as bad as getting drunk, is gorging yourself at the buffet. Work celebrations aren't for you to satiate yourself. They are for gentle, grown-up enjoyment. They are also a chance for managers and officers to evaluate the social skills and...

    Drunk at the Christmas Party Warning!

    I doubt if the company decided to cancel bonuses because of one woman's boneheaded remark. If they were scaling back, the company might have been in financial straits. Still, getting drunk at the Xmas party must have made the woman look like an insignificant other.

    What happened to growing your own chow?

    What makes me scratch my head is when people of modest means will buy pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns, and then throw them out instead of eating them. It goes to show the old saying: waste not, want not.

    Clotheslines

    Some things should be line dried. Dry heat is the death of elastic.

    Sex and the College Girl - 1957

    What I read in the article is that it was really easy for a young woman to get into a marital rut. Ol' Steady Joe was probably fine with going to work, coming home, seeing the kids for five minutes, having dinner and watching TV. But what about Susie? She could end up a bored housewife, or...

    Sex and the College Girl - 1957

    My parents got married young and had several kids in their teens and early 20s. Without going into detail, I think waiting to have more money and more maturity might have helped them. My brother said the same thing about his own situation: he wouldn't have gotten married so young. My aunt...

    The birth of the ranch house.

    My parents and I moved out of a practical, if kind of bland, little house in the 70s to a sprawling ranch house with a huge yard. You have to shout at the top of your lungs to be heard from room to room in that house. Now that my mother is almost 80, she cannot get into the sunken living room. I...

    OT:Thanksgiving Divorce!

    The dog ate the brown sugar the night before Thanksgiving. No joke. And as God is my witness, I thought I had a stick of butter in the house. [huh]

    Facebook?Privacy?

    Facebook and Myspace remind me of a phrase used by Emily Post: "tearing down the walls of your house." I'll keep mine up, thank you.

    Anything wrong with wearing Red to a Job Interview?

    Ditto. I'd add that I would avoid big fake nails, regardless of color, for any job in a professional office or that required a college education.

    OT:Thanksgiving Divorce!

    Some people would rather be working than spending the day with their families.

    I think you meant to write "fourth Thursday."

    How You Gonna Cook That Bird?

    Stop! Get a small pumpkin (if you can find one for sale), stab it in the top a few times, and bake it at 350 for about an hour until it's spongy. Cut it open and use the flesh in place of canned pumpkin. It's a whole different animal.

    How You Gonna Cook That Bird?

    I'm making the pumpkin pie with a fresh pumpkin. I don't like the canned goop.

    How You Gonna Cook That Bird?

    I brine the turkey overnight and then cook it in an oven bag. No dry turkey at my house!

    love sick :(

    Whether you should rely on friends and family depends on the friends and family. My mother thought my ex-boyfriend and I were a great couple, and she encouraged me to go back to him. :eusa_doh:

    What made you fall in love with retro beauty?

    I was a kid in the 70s: think Dorothy Hamill haircuts, hip huggers and hideous patterns. I liked the pretty hairdos and dresses women wore from the 40s back that I saw in old and historic movies.

    love sick :(

    Not only stay busy, but stop thinking about it. (At least, for me, a big problem was overanalyzing the situation.) If you keep your mind on it, you won't get enough perspective to understand what went wrong. And don't contact him.
