Hi you mean people

I won't let you ignore me.

Hi Myrna, what a great idea for a pool. You never know what they're going to come up with next.

You'll have to report back to Amanda and I after you try the raisin bread recipes. I've been trying to cut back on sweets but I could divide it into portions and freeze it.

Hi Evelyn and Amanda,

I copied your recipes for Raisin Bread. I guess I will have to try both, so not to make any enemies on here..:).

By the way kelp is wonderful for the thyroid My Chiropractor told me to take it, it brought back my thyroid working better. Didn't need any meds then. It is great stuff.

Hi Mike, no it makes absolutely no sense at all. If we're going to be influenced enough by what we see on TV to go do some of those things, just think, the possibilities or impossibilities are endless. :)

Hi Evelyn,
Yes, I had to wait until midnight to be able to get into forums. Shirley said that MySpace was unaffected and I belong to Tagged where they put up a blog to explain what is going on. It kind of takes away from the emotional recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance because evidently we do not have a say in what Big Brother decides to do after all. I guess it has to do with piracy by censoring what you can and cannot display. This makes as much sense as it did a few years back when the censors decided that T.V. programs could not display real money on their shows because someone watching could take a picture and counterfeit the money. When I heard that reason I was on the floor laughing. It was a lot easier to take a bill out of your pocket, put it in your copier and print it. Turn the bill over, run the paper back through and copy again. A lot of tax payers money is being wasted on stupid laws that do not make sense.

GOD BLESS YOU
~Mike~

Mike you'll have to share your recipe for pumpkin bread. Pumpkin is another food that has a lot of good things in it.

Thank you all for your recipes. Shirley has about four cookbooks and not one of them had a recipe for raisin bread. As for the Kelp powder, although kelp is very beneficial if I put it in anything and Shirley found out, she would not eat it. I might try it sometime when she's not looking however. If we had a bigger kitchen with more counter-top space, I would be doing a lot more baking then I do now. For pies I basically have to buy frozen pie shells because I don't have the room to roll out the dough. I have a recipe for pumpkin bread that requires four eggs, so if I can get by with one egg instead that will be a big help. I used to make soups with dumplings, but it has been so long that I have forgotten how to make the dumplings. Awhile back when we were talking about the stock pots, I began making a small one. Each night after the evening meal I would put the left over veges in one and the meat in the other. When I combined them together I realized that I needed a tomotoe base, but had run out of tomatoes. I remember that I had a jar of tomato bullion. It was not in cubes like chicken or beef, but rather in a loose powder form. Shirley reluctantly tried some. She had a second bowl. Back to the stock pot.
GOD BLESS YOU
~Mike~

Hello Mark and welcome to my forum. More and more good friends keep popping in. :) I LOVE the graphic. Do you think I might be able to copy it and put it on the opening page? That would certainly add to it in a big way. Again, thanks for joining us and please drop in often.

Good Morning,

Just stopping by to say high and to

drop off a couple of images for your forum.

If you want something special for this as your

header to all post or just one that when this thread

is opened, that could have a little graphics added to it,

feel free to ask. I had a few minutes this morning,

so I could not help myself to start with something.
