  • And thank you, Chari, for sharing your wisdom. You will be missed.
  • DO NOT spend $2,000 to have a few lousy rooms painted only to have your wife leave eggs boiling on the stove, which was not realized until she got to work, got coffee, and saw another co-worker eating a hard-boiled egg. This happened ONE month ago.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-31-05 AT 02:04PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Oh man, I'm making this thing ASAP. This looks fantastic.
  • I saw this episode, but it was the roasted new potatoes with rosemary I was interested in....they turned out great by the way. On the way to Florida last year my wife and I stopped in at Paula's restaurant in Savannah. Yummmmm. I recommend it hig…
  • I've often wondered how in God's name my sister...who can't boil an egg...wound up with the set of iron skillets bought new by my great-great-grandmother around 1875, and passed down by my mother. Life just ain't fair sometimes. If you like fried …
  • I checked with my Dad and he does the same thing: lay them in the oil flat-side down and when they're golden brown they're ready. Keep in mind that the chicken is already cooked when they go into the oil, so doneness is not an issue. You'd think t…
  • I'm trying to recall....I haven't made these is a while. I sort of plop them into the hot oil flat-side down. I don't think they float like fish...I always look at the color to determine doneness. They should be golden brown....even if you're gon…
  • The absolute best is the chicken/pheasant mixture. I remember once when I was about 17 I came home with 4 nice cockbirds. My Dad went out, bought 4 roasters and made DOZENS of croquets, which he then froze. I have no idea where the bell shape com…
  • I just looked at yout tater tot dish and man, I'm gonna try that tonight!

  • Yet another hat HR has to wear: getting James hooked up.
  • Sure, I'd get married again. As I always say, there's nothing wrong with the occasional marriage.
  • I don't know. Having worked "in the field," so to speak, I think some people just get to a point where their pain is so profound that suicide makes perfect sense...to them. One of the common misperceptions therapists make is when they see a patien…
  • The first thing I thought was: suicide by Air Marshall. I actually feel more sorry for the Marshalls.
  • Just to clarify: I said that I stand by my prediction that Bush will pull out a substantial number of troops in order to salvage the 2006 Congressional elections for the Republicans....NOT because conditions on the ground dictate that the troops ca…
  • You're in the company of 36% of the population that is choosing to hang on to a fantasy rather than giving the evidence a rational hearing. I suppose in your world Nixon wasn't guilty either. It certainly is your right to keep your head buried in …

  • The troops are there because they were ordered to go there. Yes, it is my opinion that if we do not accomplish the mission their sacrifice and the sacrifice of so many families would have been in vain. You speak of "vast majorities," but how do yo…
  • Hey, this former Marine doesn't cut and run...only politicians who lambast other former Marines about their cutting and running....er...uh....this name-calling stuff gets so confusing. Anyway, I thought Bush's speech was politically rather brillian…
  • The other day I thought of a solution to this whole problem. Everyone is hung up on the word "torture," so the Bush administration just start calling it "hazing." Atorney General Gonzalez did NOT write a "torture memo." He wrote a "hazing memo." …
  • I held my Mom in my arms for the last 40 minutes of her life while she was drowning in her own lung fluid. She was reaching out to me, as a drowning person might, as she tried in vain to breath in the air that was all around her. All I could do wa…
  • I guess that would be "freedom FROM speech," no?
  • No, I haven't done that, but that doesn't mean I would never consider it. I guess it's another little window into who that person really is, which is how we judge how well they'll do on the job. I don't think I'd make a judgement based on how "pro…
  • I wouldn't call this web site part of the main stream press, unless your definition of "press" includes anything out on the internet....which would mean all of us here on the Forum are "press" as well. You quite correctly identified it as propagand…
  • This is off the top of my head, so you might have to look up the date, but... Who starred in 1954's "The Werewolf" than went on to become a major television star? Michael Landon Which television lawyer starred in the first Godzilla movie? Raym…
  • No one ever said you had to be real bright to get elected...as we all know so well.
  • Oh! The guy who played football for my alma mater, Kutztown.
  • I was hoping that someone would share my ignorance and ask what the heck this story is about, but since that apparently is not the case I must ask: Who is Angel Smith?
  • And what's so bad about being under indictment? It's not like he can't be re-elected. And if he's convicted the House Republicans can/will simply change the ethics rules as they did last year. Another example of how the two-party system with its …
  • In keeping with the highest standards and traditions of Texas politicians. The best was LBJ's first Senate campaign, when a couple thousand votes were "found," which gave the election to Johnson. They were in a box, every single one in alphabetica…
