JoJosMom Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I got a grab bag of end of date produce from the grocery store. In them was a ton of habanero peppers which I mistakenly thought were sweet peppers. I cut them up and got the juice in some scrapes on my finger. Then I licked it when it burned. Because I hate myself. :huh: I think my finger is burning off now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 My porch tree smells nice. I went out to pet it and... Look! A Booyah! A Happy Booyah, Everyone! Deck the halls with booya, hooyah! Falalalala! This the season to be Booyah! Falalalala! All alfalfa! We had a small potted Christmas tree one year. We named it Tiny Piney. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Whipped cream, I used the standard recipe in the Betty Crocker(or Better Homes & Garden) cookbook. 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk in a chilled bowl with a chilled whisk. The stand mixer done all the work, and it was fabulous. Except I don't have anymore. However, if I make more, I will eat it. With pumpkin pie. Because delicious. I really think it may have been the best thing I have ever ate. :drool: I am dying to try the honey and maple syrup though. :drool5: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Just so y'all know, my finger is red and burning like it is on fire. I do not exaggerate. It is getting worse. I looked up remedies, and there are none for stupidity. However, there were several for pepper oil. So now I have oil on my finger and am wearing a surgical glove. Next is bleach and a baking soda paste. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I would ignore the bleach ( :huh: , me too) and would go for a baking soda paste. But Alton Brown said it. I think you are supposed to do the bleach thing while you are cutting. Also, I cooked the "sweet peppers" with seeds along with my other veggies. Fortunately, I did not use too many. However, my sauteed veggie medley is still hot as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have heard milk works. It is supposed to neutralize the oil, maybe, I think? I was going to suggest milk, although I'd never heard of it, except to drink it when when se enchila. Dh said ice, but then said he really doesn't know. He just kind of goes with it, sweating and with nose running. But, that's when he eats it, not rubs it on finger cuts like cat pee lotion. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 There's something in the works here. ;) How's Dancer's eye? Good. She says it's like there is a white veil over the eye and can't see anything. She wants to patch it so she can at least see out of the other eye. I'm not sure if she should or not. There was very little reaction to light tests when at the eye doctor the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It is due to my texting. There is more than one. Geometry project (tesselation) due tomorrow. This one is not hard and is worth an entire test grade. Jann will give feedback if you don't know that you are doing it correctly. I understand your texting. Yeah, I know. I did ask which war and she didn't know. I knew she didn't know when I asked her, so it was no surprise. She says it is not easy. And she doesn't know what supposed to go on the flashcards. She doesn't ask either. When this happened last year in algebra, she just gave up and stopped doing the work. This is unacceptable behavior. I don't know how she expects to pass. I have half a mind to take her off even the minimum college path and redo algebra (again) and go through business math or something. She won't even accept my help. This is getting ridiculous.

Susan in TN Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 PSA: if you are an advertiser (particularly for a very large national company) and want to feature a cute little girl playing the violin on your advertisement, please find someone to assist you who has at least some experience with violins. It is clear that the little girl you have in your photo has never held a violin before, and you have given her a violin that is at least twice as big as what she should be holding. All that would be excusable if the photo caption was not indicating a Christmas violin recital. I am willing, for a very reasonable fee, to assist you in your advertising endeavors so you can avoid future embarrassment. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't know if the check cashing places are gone. I would sooner sell nearly all my clothes than go there (and I've done that). Are you avoiding overdraft fees, or looking for cash for food? If food, then free food time, go to the food bank. Also... are you on WIC? I'd go there immediately. How can you be $400 short and no mortgage and not qualify? If it's bills, then call them and explain the situation and ask if you can make a reduced payment for two weeks and then they add to next months. Ask all of them. Then write a check for that amount. Beg. Cry. In my experience this is much more cost-effective than getting cash in a hurry which comes with interest. There might be a small fee on some bills, like a car payment, but if you can avoid a bounced check and then pay in full next time, that could help. ETA: And yes by all means go to the church. Even if you don't go to church. If those were my kids and I was pregnant I'd go to the church and offer to work washing dishes. I know you're pregnant but at least offer to do anything they need so long as your kids can stay nearby. Doesn't matter. Any church worth their salt will at the very least find you envelopes to lick, nativity scene stuff to dust. And if they say "no" don't worry. Most likely they'll give you the money but if not, they might advance it for very light work. Many Catholic churches have a Society of St. Vincent de Paul conference. That's what they do: help people with money and food and utilities and stuff. You can search on this page to see if there's one near you. You don't have to be Catholic or promise to become one. :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ducks like wine, certs, bread, and cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. They are also partial to lattes and margaritas. In fact, anything alcoholic works for them, especially when Mr. Mallard gleefully informs Mrs. Mallard that he signed her up to feed 20 teenagers during a December progressive dinner. (Really? Really????? Did he not read my last post here???????) The only good thing is that we have three events occurring simultaneously that night already, so Mr. Mallard will have to make some tough choices. He is lucky he is cute. Mrs. Mallard, meanwhile, hopes all is well at the ITT and longs to catch up as soon as possible. That is all. :hat: (BTW - I like this emoticon; it reminds me of Queen Ellie, and Queen Ellie reminds me of the Container Store... peaceful, calm, orderly, and dignified. I will be using this emoticon often this month in an attempt to maintain sanity.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
