I tell them, "No it doesn't, it means 'hurry up! the light's about to turn red!' " ;^)Reminds me of "Starman"; "Red means Stop, Green means GO, and Yellow means Go Very Fast."

I cannnot access Yahoo on my Earthlink browser, but have no problems when I use Internet Explorer.
But, I think Hair might be more helpful, I'm always slightly surprised and gratified when I successfully reach our spot there.

Must go for now. Have to go stand out in my field, then show up (late) for a rehearsal.
May be on later, or may just go to bed. Got up at 5:00 a.m. today to take Jr. to a 7:00 a.m. "30-minute" orthodontist appointment that took an hour and 15 minutes...sigh...
See y'all later. ;-)

I made those lemon cookies...man oh man! They turned out great. I altered the recipe a tad, though... Here's what I did.
Kim's Lemon Cookies
1C Butter, softened
1½C Sugar
Cream these together, then add,
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla
3tbsp reconstituted lemon juice
Mix together well.
In a separate bowl, mix together,
2½C Flour
2tsp Baking powder
¼tsp salt
Add a little at a time to butter mixture.
Chill slightly till a little firm, then roll into 1" balls and roll around in colored sugar if you want to.
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until very slightly brown.
I made a dozen cookies and then dropped the rest of the dough onto some plastic wrap and rolled it into a tube like the frozen cookies you buy in the store, and stuck them in the freezer. The idea is I'll be able to cut off the amount I want to use.
I'm thinking of adding more lemon, for a stronger lemon taste, using a coarse ground sugar to roll the cookies in, and adding a little yellow food coloring in the butter mixture, for fun!
Any questions?

Why can't you access yahoo... Trouble making an account? - Or Our site in particular?
To: ksen
You are so full of it! - I have never tried to get a precious!
To: Overtaxed
To: 2Jedismom
You know, it's collectors like you who jack up prices for the rest of us! :)
To: 2Jedismom
Any questions? Can I use a different flavor?
To: Overtaxed
LOL Do I sound clear? I mean, does what I say make sense? I don't want to raise the price up and then not even get it...you know?
But he didn't bid until I posted asking about it and I think he feels a little bad about it...he's even sent me a private message about it.
To: Overtaxed
Anise, maybe? I would think so, but of course you'd have to fiddle with the ammount.
To: HairOfTheDog
You are so full of it! - I have never tried to get a precious!May I direct your attention to post #'s:

1300: First I have to get 1300

Hehehe...you just remind me of my sister complaining about the prices of violins and bows. The reason the prices are so high are because of collectors!
To: ksen
Well, I may have stumbled on them.... But I never spammed to get them.... [smug!]
To: 2Jedismom
I'm just being an ornery hobbit! Lemon cookies aren't exactly my favorite. Lemon belongs in pound cake.
To: Overtaxed
Lemon belongs in tea... or dishwashing soap! :~D
