What will the future hold? WHo knows. I have a desire to go back to teaching, but also to do something in radio.
[quote]There's also a Crock Menu Mailer on SavingDinner.com... There are a lot of really good recipes on that. [/quote] Thanks, will have to check that site out, never heard of it...I normally go to allrecipes.com for my stuff. Actually, one of my chili recipes comes from there...Michelles Blond Chicken Chili...wow. My other two are from the fam. My mom also has a great recipe for Boiled Dinner but it actually makes so much soup that it wont fit in a crock pot, lol.&n
[quote who="Tova7" comment="32"]Diabetics also tend to have cholesterol problems. Who cares if you have your glucose under control if you die from hardened arteries? The meals that you are posting about do not sound very healthy or low calorie, both things that you should consider for your overall health, especially if you plan to have kids.This is true. I prepare boiled eggs and keep them in a bowl in the frig for snacks...but we eat them without the yolks.I find the less sauces you use, the
[quote]Pardon me, Zig, but the phrase 'it never fails' led me to believe this was a regular occurrence. If Marcie exaggerated, your issue is with her, not me. I can only comment on what's actually posted. [/quote] OK I admit...Im confused...you made a comment about how I 'insisted Id be home every single night' and your recollection seemed to come from a previous blog I had written (mainly because you said "I seem to recall"). My above reply was a comment towards yo
[quote]I know it sucks, but I do seem to recall Ziggy vehemently insisting that with *this* particular trucking job he'd be getting home every! single! night! I also remember Mason and myself telling him not to count on it, and being told we were the fools. Hahaha.[/quote] I know Marcie already touched on this, but I figured I'd chime in. You guys and others all seemed to agree in unison that my job was not as 'easy' as I claimed it to be. That
[quote]I guess you wanted more info, but honestly, the best way to do that would be to go online. You can look on Blue Book and find all the info about any vehicle you might be considering and then from there look around online to find out prices.[/quote] Right and when the conversation turned towards that, it didn't work too well, in her favor I figure. She kept telling us we were getting the best price guaranteed, and was insistant we buy that day. When I mentioned going
[quote]Sighs...In the first place, the quote goes like this, (and it changes the meaning considerably) "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." It's from the Bible, 1 Timothy 6:10.[/quote] Well considering the fact that money runs our lives for the most part, it is the root. Her desire to sell us a car and not listen to us was a ma
which also brings to mind another quote that money is the root of all evil. Sort of makes me wonder if Gene Roddenbery (sp) thought of that issue as he created the Star Trek series. In his future, people didn't earn money, if I remember correctly. They just worked for the good of each other. Lol yeah like that would actually work in todays world.
Sunday is one of my days off (as well as Monday) and really is the only day Marcie and I get to spend together. This morning we decided to go out and just get out of the apartment and putz around. We went to a local restaurant that she has been to previously, but I havent, to get some breakfast. I got some homemade chicken fried steak and eggs and lemme tell ya, it was a lot of steak. Or whatever they make it with...hamburger or whatever. It was interesti
note to developers...my reply window is the size of a postage stamp, lol. I think the rich can get to that point in a number of different ways like Cacto mentioned, often times its just being born (or married) into it. I certainly don't think the rich work harder than the less rich. On the contrary, I believe many poor Americans really bust their butt for their paycheck each week instead of just letting the paycheck come rolling on in no matter what. Yes, Im sure we could
Wouldn't it do more good to hold off on the 18 and a half cent federal tax on fuel for a while? Its too bad they are thinking about upping the fuel tax quite a bit.
Two things that have been brought up that I haven't seen others mention: 1. Due to the economic state right now, people will more than likely use the rebates to pay down debt on something they already purchased, so the economy won't get a boost from that. IE...Bob is a tad behind on his car payment, gets a rebate and forks it over to make his payment. The car has already been bought so the rebate wont help. 2. Will we have to repay t
Ziggy has been my nickname since I was a baby. Not sure when I got it but I believe i was fairly young because, according to my mom, I acted like the Ziggy cartoon character...just sittin and watchin the world go by. My dad and brother still call me Zig or Ziggy compared to Ryan and some of my college buds do as well, but nobody else does. I used that as my radio name as well. Ziggystyles came up somehow when I was in college...not sure totally how
Well actually, I didn't flatten the breasts at all...don't have a tenderizer hammer (or even a regular hammer at the moment, lol). I just cooked them a bit longer on each side over medium heat in that one Tbsp of oil. Also, I ran out of the spices quickly as a total of one tsp of spices doesnt last long when you try to cover both sides of 4 breasts. I ended up just taking a spoon and mixing a half and half mixure of cumin and the red (cayenne) pep
When I was going to college for my Ed degree, one of the books we had to read had a chapter on Sesame Street. I don't remember much about it now, but I do remember it had talked about how lots of children who watch it are sort of parked there by their parents for the TV to be the babysitter. If you watch the show, youll notice lots of mini-scenes and no skits (or whatever they are called) that are that long...so lots of constant short skits...they sa
Gave me some motivation to try and get some additional endorsements on my CDL.
Today one of my many...superiors came to see me today. Mind you, Im quite a bit away from the offices and the shipping dock, I never see my boss or anybody else, only communicate via messages or the phone. This morning on my drive as I was going towards my first stops, I found out that I was to meet him later on in the day at another stop. We met up and h
I was actually rather happy to see him throw his name in the ring because he had some good points, and he seemed to be a good 'competitor' for lack of better words, for the other prez wannabes. However, he entered late, didn't seem to try that hard, had a make shift crew, didn't meet with the public that much and seemed to be lacking anything resmebling an oomph of energy. Plus that and he actually said he wasn't interested in running for p
You don't learn very fast, do you.Gonna try it again next week? Well I had two choices that I see: 1. Try again 2. Don't try again. It's clear which one you would have chosen.
although, its amazing the night and day difference between Utah and Wyoming as far as road maintenance. I had to drive 30 miles an hour last night to the border. As SOON as I crossed that line, I was able to bring it back up to 65. The roads couldn't be any more opposite. Wyoming was just terrible with packed snow and ice on the roads and their plows seemed to tickle the ground. Utah had absolutely no ice whatsoever along the entire route I took
Im trying to think when this last happened. I think it was after Turkey Day and my load was light, tonight its not even funny. Well maybe, depending on your sense of humor. As I've mentioned before, my freight is brought to me each night from Denver; from there I take it and make stops along the way going into Utah. I ran late last night and got back this
BTW, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and all.
Argh, Im going to pos this even if it kills me. Driving me nuts. I don't know how many versions of this I have made, only to close them, shut the browswer on accident...argh. And fooey and all that. Well I havent posted a thing since I started my new job basically. As a quick wrap up, I did training in CA, then training on the road in CO before going t
For me, the sort of stayed the same up until a few years back. We'd always go to Fargo where my moms fam lived, for Turkey day. Then we would spend Christmas back in northern MN where my dad also lived (divorced fam). We'd spend Christmas eve at my moms, and then Christmas day at my Uncles where he would make some sort of Italian dish. Thats the way it has been for a long time. The fam still has Christmas day at my Uncles and thi
You're not very good at problem solving, are you? I don't fail. I just succeed at finding out what doesn't work. I used the cooler which was more true to the recipe because I would need to turn it over and thats what it called for, so the total submersion thing that I did last year just all
