Off-Topic / Re: share what you did on the 4th

« on: July 06, 2014, 04:48:20 pm »Message ID: 897144

I stayed at home and barbecued ribs in the oven.  I like my meat to cook in its own juices, so I seasoned them after I cleaned them and put them in aluminum foil.  I cooked them in the oven at 350 degrees for 5 and a half hours.  They were delicious.  I then walked down to my sister in-law's trailer and visited a friend of mine.  We have something in common, since my aunt was married to her father for 35 years.  She passed away October 17, 2007, 6 days before her 62nd birthday on October 23, and her funeral was the next day.  Her husband passed away July 11, 2008, exactly 8 months, 3 weeks after she passed.  My cousin (their daughter) was celebrating her 36th birthday.  My friend brought her son, and the last time I saw him, he was 4; he is now 16 going on 17.  My brother in-law's girlfriend's grandchildren were also here.

I get the messages a lot so I  rarely do surveys on here.  I think it is based on my age, and I find it discriminatory as well.

That is why I bought a shredder.  I got so much junk mail that I became sick of it myself.  I don't want to be a victim of identity theft, so I shred anything with my name on it.

Off-Topic / Re: why is it that take all the good shows off

« on: July 05, 2014, 05:05:00 pm »Message ID: 896806

When a show is put on, the ratings game determines whether the show stays on or goes off.  I have seen shows be on because of high ratings (based on how many people watch the show), and I have seen them go off the air because of low ratings (which is determined by poor ratings).  I try to catch all shows I watch during the fall, because at this time of year, the reruns game occurs.

Off-Topic / Re: What Do you Do With Leftovers?

« on: July 05, 2014, 06:52:25 am »Message ID: 896655

There are times when I have leftovers; generally I eat them.  My hubby has this issue that he thinks I am supposed to cook something different everyday.  I have leftover chicken and ribs in the box today, two bratwursts left and a pack of deli ham in the fridge.  I cooked the chicken on Thursday, and yesterday barbecued the ribs in the oven.  I like to let my meat cook in its own juices, so I seasoned them and wrapped them in aluminum foil.  I cooked them at 350 degrees for 4 and a half hours.  They are delicious.  More likely than not, he will eat the ribs.

I used incense when I lived in Chicago.  I have tried a lot of varieties; it does not work unless you get the larger sticks, which burn about three hours.  I like some fragrances, not all.

I have earned $29.44 and am trying to earn at least $60.  If I earn less, I still plan to cash out by the 31st of the month.  I plan to earn the money because I have to update my photo ID picture for the next 4 years and it is going to cost me $15 plus I need to get someone to take me to the place since the place moved from West Point to Columbus, MS.  I wish you luck in your endeavors and have a great time in Hawaii.

I get up in the morning when my grandson is in school to do FC.  I am doing my posts right now and I am behind because I can't open up FC in my Yahoo! account and have been trying to do so for the last three days.  I am doing it in my g-mail account.

I grew up eating french fries.  I like a loaded baked potato too.  I rarely eat them, but eat onion rings when I get a taste for them.

Off-Topic / I had to set my grandson's father straight for once.

« on: July 04, 2014, 09:09:47 pm »Message ID: 896566

We have had run-ins with my grandson's father at the grocery store.  My husband was there and I gave him the phone number to appease my husband.  He called my grandson and asked him if he wanted to come to his house.  I told my daughter of his latest idea and gave her the phone number where he called from.  He was upset because she called him and went off.  He had the nerve to call me and ask me why I told her when I know how she is.  I told him that I told her because he wants to go behind her back and try to be in his life without giving up a dime of support.  I then went off on him myself.  I told him he sees his son and the only thing I observe is that he wants a hug and a picture, but he don't reach in his pockets and give him a penny.  He then said my husband told him he could come out here and pick him up anytime, which is an outright lie because I was there; what my hubby said was that he was welcome to come out here and visit him, but as far as picking him up, he don't have any intentions, now or ever, of allowing that.  I told him that my husband is doing more for his son than he is, and I think it is a darned shame that he can't give his son a dollar in the event that he wants to  buy something.  His excuse is that he wants to be in his life, but he has bills to pay, which pissed me off and I told him that I didn't lay down and get him; he and my daughter laid down and conceived him.  He is married now, and so he has an extended family to take care of.  It does not excuse the fact that he has three children and my hubby and me are taking care of his second youngest son.  I love my grandson, and it hurts me to no end that he does not feel any responsibility in his care.  What do you think?

Off-Topic / Re: firewroks may be cancelled

« on: July 04, 2014, 08:53:51 pm »Message ID: 896562

My hubby bought fireworks for him and my grandson.  I wanted sparklers, and they no longer sell them.  He bought me two; I lit up one last night while he and my grandson lit fireworks.  We had visitors in the manner of children today, so he gave some to them to pop.  He held back some and he and my grandson popped more fireworks he saved to the side.  My reason for not liking fireworks that much is because my cousin, I recall, liked to light up and let the firecrackers burst in his hands; he would have these big red blisters.  I don't like damaging my hands like that.

Off-Topic / Re: hotdogs or burgers

« on: July 04, 2014, 08:47:56 pm »Message ID: 896560

I love hamburgers.  There are some hot dogs that are too small, in my opinion; it takes three or more to fill a person up, versus one or two when they are larger.  I am used to eating footlong polishes or sausages.  I turned to bratwursts and Italian sausages to fill me up.  It was easier for me to get polishes when I lived in Chicago, versus having to eat three hot dogs or more since I moved back to Mississippi.
