Reply to Domesticated in Cooking JoeUser Forums

I made pulled pork in my crockpot last week, and I'm making a beef stew in it today. I highly recommend the pulled pork - you take a relatively cheap pork roast (I paid $4 for the one I used) throw in in the crockpot with a bit of water and some slices of onion, set it on low and then leave it alone. An hour or so before you want to eat it you take it out, pull it apart with a couple of forks so it's really nicely shredded, then put it back in to crockpot with a bottle (perha

Rawkin' that phony pony! in Misc JoeUser Forums

My hair grew! See: I wish! The long ponytail isn't mine, it's a phony pony that I bought from the beauty supply store. I have enough of my own hair to tie back into a wee little single ponytail, but it just wasn't quite the look I wanted to go to last night's squadron Christmas party with. So, I got the p

This isn't funny. Not even slightly. It's sad, and I feel sorry for you. Yeah, Santa is after our souls. He doesn't leave presents under the tree, he steals little kids souls. Please. I had a self-imposed blacklist, and yours was the only blog on it. I violated that by coming here - what you said was so outrageous that I simply couldn't let it go without making a comment. However, the blacklist is back in effect now, and I think that'

Since when was Davey Jones famous for carols?! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I was talking to my mum in the UK earlier this afternoon. She told me some things that literally boggled my mind and left me gobsmacked (that's 'speechless' for those not familiar with Brit-speak). For instance, she said that you'd be hard pressed to find a Christmas card that had a religious scene on the front of it. No Nativity scenes, no three wise men, no shepherds watching their flocks, no angels. Nothing that mentions the reason for the season. When the

That is what our press has come to today. Johnson who? Oh, wait, will that change the senate? Yeah, I find it particularly gruesome that before he's even diagnosed properly people are talking about the 'what if's'. He's just a sack of flesh, a warm body to be chewed up and spit out by the government machine. They don't care if TIM

Johnson in critical condition in Current Events JoeUser Forums

When I lived in South Dakota we had a fair amount of politicians come to the base to do a 'grab and grin' session and make a speech or two. The annual Air Show also drew a fair number of dignitaries and VIP's. Because I was the French-English translator with the base translator bank, I had occasion to go to one such Air Show (with a Hungarian politician. We didn't have a Hungarian translator and his second language was French, so I got called to trail around with him for t

Reply to Duplicate articles in Blogging JoeUser Forums

When I posted duplicate articles yesterday, it was because I got an error message after I had clicked 'submit'. Once the articles were posted, I couldn't get the 'edit/delete' feature to appear on the articles despite my logging out and logging back in numerous times. It wasn't until last night that it mysteriously appeared and I could delete the duplicated article.

I meant to add that us JU-ers are a good looking bunch! San Chon, if I were single and 10 years younger....... Zoo, you look NOTHING like I had imagined. Xythe, you're a Tom Selleck lookalike and I imagine that you get hit on a LOT. Nic just gets more gorgeous every time I see her, and her Kole is just beautiful. Forever is beautiful, and much like Nic gets better looking every time I see her. Man, we're a good looking bunch!

A French press and an 'aha!' moment. in Misc JoeUser Forums

Until Sunday, I had 2 methods of making coffee in my home: instant and a carafe-less pot. I'd been using the instant because my pot had developed a leak, but I was yearning for the taste of real brewed coffee. Whilst browsing the BX on Sunday I came across a French press for a very reasonable amount. For the folks who don't know what I'm talking about, a French press looks like this:

I have decided if he does it again for no real reason I will let it be and just forget about his blog entirely. This is my opinion and has nothing to do with your beef with gid, or gids beef with you. Oh, I know, Elie. I'm not asking anyone to take sides, just so's we're clear. He's done this before, and I apologize

Reply to How a 4 year old potty trains a 2 year old. in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Aww! They're TOO darn CUTE! Our Shea was the hardest to potty train, and I think that was in part because she didn't have anyone to look up to. We got her clean and dry during the day by getting her some pink and purple panties with Barbies and My Little Ponies on them. We made a big deal out of how pretty they were and asked her if she wanted to mess them up by going potty in them. She said no, and that was it; she never had to wear a siaper or pull-up again. Davey had turne

Reply to Blacklisted - again in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Gid, get lost. Coming here after you've banned me from your blog is incedibly bad taste. I'm sick to fucking death of your constant narcissistic "I am!!!" attitude and your incessant need to turn ANYTHING and EVERYTHING into a political statement. I'm dismayed that you drag your family into it, especially your children. You seem to have bad luck following you, don't you? Perhaps you should think about whether it's really bad luck - or simply bad decision making on your part.

Reply to Blacklisted - again in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Apparently I'm on the blacklist because I "added gasoline to the fire" and "piled it on at a very bad time". He's also saying that if he listened to my advice he'd be talking to his children via letters because CPS would have taken them away. Again, all I suggested was that it might be more prudent to acquiesce and give DCFS access to the family home than make a stand and a statement and run the risk of losing his children. I've had my own experiences with meddling neighbors and DCF

Blacklisted - again in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I'm blacklisted from a certain wanna-be politician's blog. Again. The last time was because I suggested that he might want to let CPS into his home to see that everything is as it should be rather than risk losing his family to make a statement. He took offence to that and went off saying how my husband was fighting to protect the constitution yet I was sullying it here at home. So what did I do to get blacklisted this time? I merely affirmed another bloggers
