I had them as a young adult in 1989 and was not offered anything other than pain and sleeping pills. I had them so bad that there was not a spot on my entire body not covered. I had pox on top of pox. It was truly horrible. I stayed doped up for weeks because I could not sit or lay without severe pain without the pills.

I also have horrible shingles episodes 23 years later. They only pop up once or twice a year when I am extremely stressed. And like your neighbors I had them in my mouth, throat, vaginally etc.

Interesting. I wonder if this could be the cause of my random nose bleeds. I had a serious amount of pox in both nostrils (and other internal regions). It was in approx. 1989, I was in my early 20's.

I agree that I wouldn't join in, but can maybe understand why others do. I had chicken pox as an adult and it was horrible. I was on sick leave from work over 6 weeks. Had an emergency room visit, was on pain pills all day long and sleeping pills at night. On my FACE ALONE I had 90 some odd pox. I also had them internally and my body was completely covered. I have many many scars all over from them. I'd truly not wish them on anybody.

:iagree:

Yes sounds like stop with a 'b'.

Here in Ky. they call that a (hmmm not sure how to spell it) a stab. The 'a' is pronounced aw. Not something you do with a knife, but what you say when you see something cute awww. So you could stump your toe on a stab (stawb??).

Around here 'stove' as in 'stove up' is the condition of ones body when you wake up on a cold morning or worked a lot of physical labor the day before.

Stump (I'm in Eastern Ky.).

Absolutely!

Don't feel bad. I know where you are coming from. My dh's grandmother left her farm to dh & his 3 siblings. Dh's father was living in the home at the time of her death. He asked his 4 children to sign the home over to him so that the property taxes wouldn't be as much (he was over 65). He promised to have a will drawn up immediately leaving the home (and land) back to dh & his siblings. My husband & one brother didn't want to do it because grandma left it to the grandkids for a good reason (fil was an alcoholic). Two siblings made life miserable until we agreed. Long story short he didn't have the will drawn up. He left everything to a drug addicted grandchild who was living with him (and off him) at the time. Dh & his siblings lost a working farm (that we worked).

The sprinkling of flour does not resemble cream of _____ soup. Nor does it turn into a gummy mess fwiw. Its just a light dusting between layers. Approx 2 -3 T per 9 x 13 pan.

I'm with you:)

Agreeing:001_smile:

This is how I make scalloped potatoes except I use butter in the layers and no onion. I like to use canned milk or half cream/half whole milk. I pour the milk to the top of the potatoes (not covering them just even with the potato).

This. My oldest is 16 and we have always hs'ed. I've never once had a random stranger say anything negative (my mother on the other hand...).

Our health insurance always sends out a questionaire after we receive medical treatment asking very pointed questions about where the accident happened. Last year I needed stitches in my foot (pyrex pan exploded in my kitchen) and dd needed stitches (fell off bike in our driveway). Both times we received the questionaire to fill out and return. The insurance companies don't want to pay.

I'd love to see your new look. I recently turned 45 yo and went out and cut my long hair super super short (Halle Berry style) and invested in new make up. Going for new glasses/contacts tomorrow. I'm trying to find a clothing style to suit me because I need new everything.

:iagree: I love these pans. They bake the best bread.

This.

After a week with dh's sister I'd say it.

:iagree:

I met my dh when I was 19 & he was 20. In getting to know each other we discovered we had a childhood friend in common. As we talked more I asked if he had known Rich when his family lived on "C" Street because I had really great memories as playing there as a child. As I was reminiscing about playing hide-n-seek and tag with Rich and his neighbors my dh (then boyfriend) told me it was he and his brothers we were playing with. He had been Rich's neighbor on "C" Street for years.

Queen Bee's also turn on their daughters like mine did. My mother loved nothing more than to get a group of people agreeing with her about how horrible I was. I hated who I was when I had any contact with my mother.
