Margarine, except for tub and squeeze) is virtually all 4 sticks in a flat (side by side) box. Butter is usually 4 sticks to a pound, 2 sticks stacked on top of 2 but you can get a 1# block of butter also. Occasionally you can buy a 1/2# of butter or margarine (2 sticks). We talked about the milk and it's kind of funny actually. Really, how heavy is a plastic carton? I'd venture a guess that the plastic jug is lighter in weight than that pitcher you have to put the bags in! LOL Sorry Jasdip, still not convinced! :) Although the pouch for kids, kind of like a juice pouch or box, but not sure how well they stand up although I suppose if they pleated the bottom it would work, but really, what's the benefit of that over a carton? Methinks the petropromoters are at work.

Buy a store-bought pound cake (I like marble or chocolate cake) , slice it the long way into four long rectangles (once down the middle then each piece sliced in half).Line a loaf pan with a large piece of plastic wrap. Lay one piece of cake down in the loaf pan (I have Corningwear, the old blue and white), brush cake with any liquer or booze you like.( Grand Marnier works fabulously), then a layer of softened ice cream (I like coffee ice cream). Continue layering, four layers of cake and three layers of ice cream, booze on each cake layer). The top layer is cake. Completely fold up in the plastic wrap, put a weight on top(I use 2 cans of soup) . Freeze solid at least 4 hours. Remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving.Slice and enjoy.( It might be difficult to transport.Sorry,I only serve at home.)

Now this may be a total myth, but would a cat LICK the medication off their fur if it ended up there?? Many years ago, had a Dobie who had a litter of 7 pups. She was absolutely inseparable from them for about 3 weeks or so. She wouldn't even go do her thing out in the back yard. We had to walk her on leash to get her out of the house. We coulda walked her a mile from home and she would have been standing at the front door waiting to be let in. Doing all the things a momma dog does for puppies before they can start eating solid food gave her a MAJOR case of the poops! Vet suggested Kaopectate... same dosage as an adult person... something like 6-7 teaspoons a dose! Knowing a spoon would be ridiculous, I came up with a "brilliant" plan... after all I did graduate from college!!;) I measured the Kaopectate into a cup and sucked it all up with a turkey basket, slid it into the side of her mouth (whileI held it closed) and squeezed... genius, right?!? I sat and rubbed her throat a few times and figured she had swallowed. WRONG! The second I let go of her snout, she shook her head and me, the walls and most of the puppies got splattered with the stuff! BUT it worked out well... she licked it all off of them, so got most of the stuff in her. I was SO tempted to dip a few of the puppies in the stuff... but didn't!

I love dreadlocks, don't mind tattoos at all and piercings don't bother me for the most part unless they are extreme. haha they only bother me if I imagine how much pain they may have caused. I am sorry that your friends thought that you wouldn't be hired because of your hair or how you look. If my server had any of those things it would not bother me as long as the person was clean, neat and tidy. Times have changed. I don't know many young people that don't have tatts or piercings and they are all going to need jobs. When my niece was hired 20 years or so ago to work at a day care they made her cover up with a band aid a tiny sun and moon tattoo she had on her ankle. The kids asked more questions about the band aid on her foot and could not have cared less about that tattoo. I also have a nephew with sleeve tattoos on both arms, a few piercings. He was a manager in a grocery store and now a big name box store. My nephew is one the sweetest, nicest guys you would ever want to meet and would go out of his way to help any of the customers but I used to overhear some of the remarks that customers would make along the lines of why would anyone hire him, etc. There is so much more to a person than what they look like, and what decorations they wear or hair styles they have. A potential employer not hiring a person with any of these things might be losing the best employee they may have ever hired.
