  • Macaronic and cheese question?!?!?

    Recently, I attended a wedding with a mac-n-cheese bar. Now, they had some over the top 'toppings' for their stuff ( truffle oil? lox , stuff like that....) and I'm wanting to do it for a special event coming up . I've come up with six more, shall we say, common? things for the toppings; chunky salsa, jalapeno peppers, bacon crumbles, ham chunks, seasoned bread crumbs and chives. IS there anything you would recommend I add to the list? I make KILLLLLER mac from scratch, seriously, so that is covered. ( I've even been requested several times to make it for covered dish dinners and stuff, so I know it isn't just me who thinks so! )

    Anyway, some input would be great, Thanks SO much for taking the time to read this!!

  • What is the deal with Baby Names? Why are people so strange when it comes to baby names??? !?

    Someone posted on here that they wanted help with unique and pretty baby names . Listed among the names was " Blanket " . Personally, I find it more than just a little disturbing that they still call Jackson's kid by that name. That child deserves the dignity of being called by a real name, not a stupid nickname given to it because of being hidden from the papparazzi!! What IS the kid's name, anyway? Poor child. a nickname like that...branded like that from birth... its tragic, to me, anyways. And for someone to see it as a 'pretty' name for a kid. Its as bad as 'apple' or 'booboo'or some of the other crazy things people are coming up with. And how about these people that take a regular name, and 'mix it up' by spelling it crazy with a dozen extra letters added? I say, just because you OWN all the scrabble letters, doesn't mean you have to USE them. LOL

    Anyway, I was just wondering what other peopel think of this...

    I have a logo that I made up a few years ago that I have kept under wraps that I would like to trademark to make t-shirts, bumperstickers,etc... of and sell. How do I go about this? I have googled it , but every answer I get wants me to pay hundreds of dollars to companies to research it for me. Is there a cheaper way to do this?

  • Extreme Makeover Home Edition... does anyone else find it a little ridiculous?

    I mean, I don't have a problem with what they do ,in principle. But its some of these virtual mansions that they give to people who have no income, and can't afford the taxes , utilities or upkeep of these places. I mean, several of the families have lost these houses for just this reason. There is one in the news right now who were crazy enough to use the house to secure a loan for almost half a million dollars and now they are losing their house. What possesses these people? I think , and have always thought, that EMHE would be better suited to build a house worth more like $100,000 instead of these half a million dollar homes that people can't afford to keep up. Its a great program, don't get me wrong!! But am I alone in thinkingg that maybe, just maybe, some moderation - especially in these really tough economical times-- could be shown? Just curious if anyone else feels the same....

  • What brand of bottled water comes in the beatuful blue glass bottles?

    I have a crafting project... I recently bought blue dishes for my husband and I , his favorite color. I also have some of the blue glass canisters, candlesticks, glasses, wine glasses.... just trying to add some blue to a very greeeeeen house. ( I was single a long time before we married, so the house reflects a lot of my favorite color so I'm working to incorporate HIS favorite color ) .

    ANYWAY! I am trying to find some of the blue glass bottled water bottles so I can make some salt and pepper shakers out of them for my kitchen. I thought I'd strip the label - if Possible, and etch a S and a P on them. What do you all think?? I love idea, as does my hubby! I like the idea of larger than usual shakers, as I have poor vision and it would be easier to find 'em. LOL I can lose annnnything, especially little shakers! LOL

    Anyway, I can't remember or think of the name brand of the water bottle that uses these bottles. ANY help would be appreciated!

    Thanks so much. Yahoo answers are the BEST!

  • Would like to ask someone of HONDURAN background a question....?

    My aunt asked me about this and I couldn't find the answer anywhere... she said that once when she was younger, some friends of hers from Honduras, showed her these 'things'...they looked like small white stones, about the size of peas cut in half. They were kept in a jar and you took one out, put it in your eye ( I know?!?! RIght?!?!? ) and it like came 'alive' and cleaned your eye!

    I'm wondering, it is some kind of mineral or something that is activated by tears ? WHAT is this?? She was curious and had no idea where to look, nor do I.. IF someone of Honduran background might know the answer, I know I would sure appreciate having this mystery solved!! Thanks so much...

  • What is it with going ALL OUT * fashion wise* for the first day of school?

    I have never understood the idea of wearing your BEST outfit, all your jewelry and every ounce of make up for the first day of school. I mean, haven't you known most of these people for years already? Who are you trying to impress? I know as an educator, I would prefer you show up clean , neat and modestly dressed but have your mind set to LEARN !

    I mean, seriously, by December we'll have seen all your fancy new little outfits ANYWAY...so what is the big deal?

    Trust me, you're not going to make any spectacular impression on your teachers by what you wear. We'd rather you show up with your brains in than your fancy jeans and expensive shoes. I would trade a hundred Fendi bags for one kid that uses her/his brains and participates in their education. Its school, not Bryant Park Fashion Week! LOL

  • I would like to find my half-brother and half-sister, but I only know their first/middle names. Any help?

    I have a half brother and half sister that I only know their first/middle names. Our father married my mom after having them, and they don't even know I exist. I would like to find them. Ava Mary Louise would be in her mid 40's and Richard Lance would be in his early 40's now.

    Does anyone know how I would go about looking for them? I thought I might as well give it a shot on here.....so many other questions have been answered on here.

  • Does anyone find the show " More to Love" insulting?

    We all know the premise... a dating show where there is one available single person and twenty or so people of the opposite sex who are competing for the person's affection/attention. Well, FOX network has topped themselves with this seasons' version in making the people on the show all people whoa re overweight, or what society sees as overweight. There is a 26 year old guy on there, Luke who is a young businessman who is looking for a woman who loves food as much as he does and then there are 20 young women ( and some not quite so young, in their late 30's) who are looking for love.

    I don't have a problem with this kind of show. What I DO have a problem with is the man slut making out with each adn every girl each week, the girls being exploited each week and shown crying into the camera ( " oh, I've never dated, I've never had a boy friend, the cutest guy in school broke my heart because he wouldn't even talk to me.....all the same sob stories of no self-esteem or self-confidence. Most of them are pathetic and whiney. And who dressed them? I want to know who ever told them that it was ok for a BIG busted woman to go out in public with big breasts in a spaghetti strap dress and no bra? Or a strapless dress, with no bra? HELLO?? Talk about tacky!! Uh... and the tops of their dresses, with their 'muffin tops' just hangin' over, talk about ' ugh'... AND I"M A BIG GIRL, I Have room to talk, I can say this! IF I was a skinny minny girl, I would feel like I couldn't say this. But I"m a big girl and I wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing stuff like that! My Mama raised me right!! LOL Sure, so me of the dresses are really pretty, but get a dress that FITS you girls, and the PROPER undergarments. One girl wore a dress that was downright see through. It was appalling. I was grossed out. I would have been if it had been on ANY girl, so don't think I'm being size-ist here, people.

    I think that the show is playing seriously on the heart strings of a group of girls that have had a lot harder time of it emotionally that most girls of their age bracket, because of their size. They have been discriminated against by guys while growing up and during their dating years. Now here is this one guy who doesn't seem to have a problem with it and they have to compete for him. Its harsh. And each week he's 'making love ' to different ones and getting hopes and emotions up. I think its cruel and terribly insulting I think any girl that would go on a show like this, just doesn't think that much of herself to put herself in a meat market like this.

  • What is the deal with Bridezillas?

    I just watched a few minutes of the show for the first ( and last!! ) time. I was shocked! I could hardly believe my eyes. WHERE do they get these women?? And how do they film these shows? Do these women act like this, get turned in by their families and then they re-inact it for the cameras? I could never even imagine doing such a thing as acting THAT horrible to my friends, family and strangers and then letting it be on tv for all the world to see what a HORRIBLE person I am!! How UGLY These women are and they see nothing wrong with it.... Rude, crude, trashy and whorish... Its so sad. And does the tv channel Pay them for this?? I certainly hope not. IT is a sad commentary on our society that there is a group of people in this world that considers that to be entertaining!

  • IS anyone else on here just a little sick of hearing about Michael Jackson?

    I mean, come on.... a few years ago, half the world was ready to make him a eunich run him out of the country for allegedly mistreating small boys and now everyone is ready to make him some kind of demigod . I just don't get it. Dying doesn't suddenly just make everything go away. . . . he was still the same man with all his eccentricities and odd behavior. He was still the same man the day he died as he was 5 years before.

    Whatever. I'm just tired of being force-fed his music everywhere I go and every time I turn on the radio. I wasn't a fan when he was alive, I am no more a fan now that he's gone. Please dint' slam me for needing to get that off of my chest!! I just was wondering if there were OTHERS out there who felt the same way??
