Hand Sanitizer and Kids
Comments (4)You'd have to be using a TON. I've used Purell, and a bunch of other hand sanitizers, in and around working with sick people and animals. I get drunk on half a glass of wine or beer and I never got tipsy! They must be swimming in it!PJ...See MoreThis angers me...DUI's and Public Intoxication
Comments (19)Oh good grief Tina! I shouldn't have to explain my life to you but I will. Just this once. Trust me, I am FAR from bored. LOL I woke up at 4am ready to start the day and have FUN. Which I was doing until I read your reply. By the way, I read your "apology" but since you do this to me on a constant basis, I take it with a grain of salt. I sat at the computer with my morning coffee and I answer emails, go to various boards, read the "real" news, and this morning I went to TMZ to see what the latest was on Charlie Sheen. Oh, in case you're interested, most if not all News programs, including CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX and ABC quote TMZ on a regular basis. So I'm in good company. :) I do NOT read gossip mags nor watch gossip shows and I don't sit at the computer 24/7 like you always seem to be doing. Never did I say I was at a loss or bored with my kids grown! I've said I miss them terribly even though they live close by. I still have Empty Nest Syndrome because of the sheer happiness I experienced. That doesn't mean I fill my brain with hollywood gossip all day! Maybe you should lighten up a bit regarding TV and magazines. Sounds to me like you need to LAUGH because you take life soooo darn serious on that high horse you ride. Sorry, but it had to be said. Hey, maybe you should watch some TV yourself instead of judging other's for doing so. You make TV watching sound like only dunce's watch it, and you're far too superior to loosen up and watch television yourself. That's what I perceive from past threads. :) Natal, I do believe TMZ. I've been reading it for years now and they always get their stories right. On the AOL main page, almost every day in the news section it says, "TMZ is reporting..." After the Super Bowl we couldn't escape all the talk about Xtina, either online, newspapers or magazines. Even Time and Newsweek. They reported, along with TMZ that after her very recent divorce she started drinking and is hanging out with the "wrong" crowd, including this guy she's dating. That's why I said it explains the Super Bowl. Natal, we need to do a TV topic and talk about our favorite shows! Jay or David? I like them both but mostly watch Jay. :)...See MoreNot one but two KT'ers are coming for lunch!
Comments (9)whistle, this is my version of the caramel apple cocktail: butterscotch schnapps 3/4 jigger 1/2 wine goblet glass filled with sparkling apple cider rim glasses with cinnamon sugar *I put the sugar rimmed glasses in freezer until ready to serve Overnight french cheese toast **My son is 48 and I've been making this since he was 8. 4 slices bread or french toast and cut to fit in a grease pyrex dish *Make sure they fit side by side. 2 eggs beaten with 1/2 cup milk 1/4 tsp dry mustard 1/2 tsp salt 2 cups grated cheese Mix all of the above and pour over the bread. Cover, refrigerate overnight. Let sit on counter to remove some of the chill before baking. Bake 400 for 10 minutes.

Comments (14)I disagree very strongly. I think everyone has the capability of 1.making mistakes 2. Making bad choices 3. being vulnerable. No one is totally safe or totally incapable of being involved outside their marriage- however, there are some circumstances which make some people more vulnerable. Hanging out in a singles environment, or hanging out where people are intoxicated and judgment impaired, increases the vulnerablilty variable. I perform music in bars, and though I've never tasted alcohol, I do realize that the bar environment invites a type of behavior that wouldn't be expected or even accepted somewhere else. I've received more compliments, more gifts (soda), more uninvited attention in bars than anywhere else. There is a basic assumption that if you show up in a bar, you're there to socialize, let your hair down, push the regular boundaries of life a bit further, and for some, get some action. People have to figure out what category you fall into when they see you at a bar - I would prefer never to go to another bar in my life. However, I'd have to give up the 2nd most important thing to me, that is my music life. But, since my first most important thing is my family, I set major boundaries around me - I don't flirt, I make it clear I'm not drinking, I always surround myself with respectable people, I dress appropriately, and I never involve myself in a one on one conversation with the opposite sex. I've known gobs of people, who are really really good people, who under unfortunate circumstances (stress, job loss, vulnerability, whathaveyou) have made decisions that slowly lead to affairs, sometimes sexual sometimes emotional. Most of them would never have predicted such a thing, and most people around them haven't a clue. It's foolish to think "it would never happen to me" because such a stance is what allows the watch guards to sleep. I'd much rather be married to someone who admitted vulnerability than someone who foolishly denied that it could ever happen and therefore allowed themselves to be put in vulnerable positions....See Moregrapefruit1_ar
