What kind of spices do you add to the pork to make breakfast sausage or Italian sausage? Thanks! ~Holly

It's all good! I just got off the phone with the SS teacher...and, we are in complete agreement on the topic. I worry for naught! Smiles! ~Holly

Thanks! Actually, I prefer to do it the other way around. Introduce it at home so my kiddos can ask ME questions first before they hear it in SS. No, we do not "cover up" topics like that...but, I am very careful as to how I present material to my children...age approriate language, etc. Smiles! ~Holly

Let me clarify...I guess I wasn't clear. Smiles! With my children learning about the Ten Commandments...one of the topics will be adultery...with terms like "s*xually pure" being used in the Catechism. I'll just address this with the Sunday School teacher to ask how they will be covering the topic with such young children. Thanks! ~Holly

Do your children learn the Westminster Catechism questions in their Sunday School classes? If so, which "versions" do that use at each age? I'm asking because two of my children (7yo and 9yo) are moving up into the 3rd through 5th grade classes...and, they will be studying the Ten Commandments...along with the Catechisms that go along with the Commandments. They will be using the Shorter Catechism in Modern English. Does anyone else use this "version" for children in that age group. In my opinion...some of the language used to cover the topics is a bit "advanced" for children as young as mine. Thanks! ~Holly

Oh my...I didn't mean to stir such emotion from everyone. Smiles! My son took it all in stride. Thanks for all the info and comments! I've enjoyed the responses. Smiles! ~Holly

Thanks, everyone! My son was just playing chess with a friend from down the street...and, the young boy never called "check"...and, in the next move physically took my son's king. My son immediately said, "You never said 'check." And, the other child continued to argue that he didn't have to say it and he won. He told me that's the way he plays all the time. I thought it might be some kind of rule I had never learned. I tried to explain to him that he was not correct...but, to no avail. HA!! Smiles! ~Holly

To win chess...do you "corner" the king or literally TAKE the king? Thanks! ~Holly

Here is a link to one of the reviews I read: http://www.homeracingworld.com/firstrack.htm ~Holly

I've done some research...and, you can rest easy in knowing Carrera is a good product. I found a few reviews from hobby fanatics and Carrera was mentioned as one of the top three for slot cars...with Carrera a favorite for beginner and children sets. Smiles! ~Holly

Thanks, Amy! My children are very careful with their things...so, that shouldn't be an issue. Smiles! ~Holly

Quiver...I'm wondering if you need a support group. I have a friend from college days that was over weight...very over weight. She tried every diet...even a liquid diet...and, would lose weight just to gain it back plus more. She finally joined Over Eaters Anonomous. I bet she lost 150 pounds and has kept it off! ?? Just a suggestion... Take care! ~Holly

Yes...yes...yes! I taught myself by using the KnittingHelp.com videos. I could never figure out what the books were telling me to do. One other piece of advice is to use wooden needles as a beginner. I started out using my grandmother's aluminum needles and the yarn kept slipping off. I think it was someone here that suggested I use wood because they are not as slick and provide just a tiny bit of resistance. Smiles! ~Holly

I was on Armour...but, it was not being made the last time I went to renew my Rx. I went back on Levothyroxin. I'll have to ask about the Natural product you mentioned. Thanks! ~Holly

Amy...which one did you get? Is it easy to take apart and put back together? The huge space some of them take up was one complaint I read about on-line. I do not have the space to leave up something that takes up a 7x4 foot space! Smiles! Thanks! ~Holly

Thanks for that info. Smiles! ~Holly

When I had my biopsy...I was told by my endrocinologist that when results come back negative...it is highly unlikely that it will ever become cancerous. But, I'll ask next time I'm at the doc. The memory of 15 needles stuck in my neck is not a pleasant one....but, better than cancer. Smiles! ~Holly

Thank you, Mandy. That's helpful. ~Holly

Did you read that I wrote "can?" I don't think that's spewing misinformation. No big deal... Smiles! ~Holly

My son has wanted this race car set for a few years, now...but, I've read mixed reviews about the Carrera sets. Anyone have this "brand?" Opinions? Pros...cons? Thanks! ~Holly

The little critters can carry leprosy! I just learned that this year. ~Holly

Yes...it's a nodular goiter that started out as just a few nodules. I discovered a cyst on my throat about 10 years ago...had it aspirated...had the nodules biopsied...have ultrasounds every few years. My doc is on top of it...it's just been bothering me more lately. I suppose I should see my doc. Sigh... Thanks! ~Holly

It's not reflux...but, thanks. ~Holly

I certainly haven't decided to have it done...but, I will surely do more research. Do you or your mom ever have the "got a golf ball stuck in my throat" feeling? If not, you're lucky. Smiles! Thanks! ~Holly

Thank you! This is helpful. I do have nodules...in fact, it's a nodular goiter. i've been through the biopsy and had a cyst aspirated years ago. The nodule has grown into a goiter even with Synthroid. Maybe the doc needs to up the dose. ?? ~Holly
