RE: If you have to buy for a hard to buy for person.....
for the hard to buy people who already have EVERYTHING...I find that either the gift of time or something edible is the best way to go.
This year, for my parents, I will be giving them a gift certificate for one garage cleaning. When Grandpa died, all his stuff got moved into their garage and there is sits - 5 years later. Mom and Dad have health problems, so I will take my boys over there and go thru all of it.

RE: Iraq What to send a young guy
my boss and his wife are the "team parents" for their son in laws unit. We regularly send packages to the unit. Some of the things we have sent:
Afghanistan is very cold right now....
warm sleeping bags
warm jackets - the military does not provide warm enough clothing
hand warmers
gloves
canned foods - chili, soup, anything that they can heat and eat
snacks - cookies, candy, granola bars
beef jerky
hot sauces - tapatio is a big hit
gum
baby wipes
magazines
newspapers
deodorant
disposable razors
AA batteries
over the counter medicines - cold meds, advil / tylenol - when you are out in the middle of nowhere - it's nice to have some cold meds.
band aids

RE: Dutch Oven Shake N Bake Chicken
that looks yummy! My son loves breaded chicken, but doesn't like stuffing - wonder if he will like this. I'm going to make it and not tell him, see if he notices the difference!

RE: Cabover curtains
I have the sliding type too, but want to take those down.
I am looking for an alternative - has someone ever put up home curtain rods in the cabover?

Cabover curtains
Has anyone replaced them with regular curtains? How did you hang them?
I don't want to replace with the ugly replacement curtains. I will make my own, but am trying to figure out the best way to hang them.

RE: Need help with my dog- barks while on the leash- UPDATE
Also, dogs don't understand English and don't know their names.
I totally disagree with this statement. While I agree, I cannot hold a conversation with my dogs, they do know their names and know basic commands.

RE: Bedding
sorry but this made me laugh....
We moved last month. We have a microsuede down comforter on our bed. I knew it shed feathers a bit - what I did not realize until after we picked the bed up was how much it shed - it looked like we had been plucking chickens in our bedroom!! There was a layer of feathers under the bed where the vacuum cleaner did not reach!!

RE: Grocery Store Savings -- your personal best?
our grocery store stopped doing the savings on the gasoline. We once had enough credits for $2.00 per gallon...
If you go online to the various coupon sites, you can prints coupons for things other than makeup and cleaning products.

RE: IS WalMart topic still allowed? A little long
why would you try to go into a store that had 5 police vehicles in front of it to begin with???? I would have avoided that store until the police had time to complete their business.

RE: Cats
my dogs started doing that - when we left, they refused to eat for days. we would come home and the dog sitter would tell us that they never touched the food. the minute we would get home, I had to monitor their eating so they did not overeat and get sick. Now our college age son comes and stays with them. they are ok with that. We have camped with them, but they are not always good camping dogs.

RE: Tootsie's weekend adventure in eating....
that would have been interesting.....
"Jim, do you smell peanut butter?"
"Cat, I'm sleeping, go back to sleep"
"But I really smell peanut butter..."
Cat, puzzled, turns on the light (while Jim, annoyed, gives her a look and just turns over), Cat looks around room, spies a lump in the pillow and then her hand reaches into pillow case....
ok -that's how it would go in my house.....

RE: No oven, no microwave: ideas about what can we cook?
When camping, I try to make a couple meals at once - cook a little extra, then use the leftovers for a different type meal the next day.
I like to make extra baked potatoes and then slice and fry them up the next day for either breakfast or dinner (with onions, peppers and kielbasa).
Bake chicken one night - use the leftovers for chicken tacos/burritos - just throw some salsa or seasoning in the meat - instant tacos or burritos. Chicken soup would also work here.
Steak or tri tip one night - use leftovers for a stew, soup, tacos or burritos.
Brown extra ground beef and have tacos one night, sloppy joes another.
My family loves breakfast burritos (can you tell we eat alot of mexican food!) so I throw in leftover meat from the night before into the burrito, scramble some eggs, add cheese and salsa, wrap it up in a tortilla.

RE: Chicken on the Hook
smoked meat always looks delicious - but for me personally, I don't like the smoky flavor - but like I said, it is a pretty presentation.

RE: How Level is Level
I like to level with the stove, like my eggs and cooking to stay in the center of the pan, makes for easier cooking. If that level, then everything else if fine.

that is what we have always done as well

RE: How many have posted more than 500 times
In my case, a very slow job with lots of extra time on my hands that my boss wants filled with me looking like I am working on the computer (I asked if I could bring a book - he said no, but I could play on the computer). It's his dime....

RE: "Bluehair"... sign of disrespect???
I hope you remember that the next time you look at some kids walking down the street and think of them as punks, hippies, etc.
Respect works both ways....
