Any word on when you go back to work?

[Guenevere]

#37...Ohhhh, would that I could.

I just hope I haven't lost it.....

..I haven't made it in years....but this year, I feel nostalgic for her old recipe.

It has candied orange slices in it......you know, the sugary candy gummy things :)))
...and dates, raisins, pecans, brown sugar....and the consistency is just like fruit cake.

She use to let me help......(usually just coating the fruit with flour)....

..and it took as long to make as a regular fruitcake,....but the taste is yummy beyond belief!!!

It's also glazed with a mixture of orange juice & brown sugar to soak in.

[Neets]

ooOOoo, that does sound good...I remember helping my Nana make fruit cake..i just loved the taste of the batter before it was cooked.

[Dog]

I agree Jane.....this is a very nice bunch.

[LBKQ]

And how are YOU feeling today?

[Rivendell]

Coffee finished brewing by the time I got back from getting my breakfast..

This is usually how I am in the mornings:

Ya just gotta love it whent the coffee kicks in.

[Dog]

Not bad....:-)

[Guenevere]

#31....LOL, that's why I originally went to nursing school.....I thought I WAS Florence Nightingale....

..unti l I figured out there was more to it than propping pillows, and soothing words.

Bedpans!!!....Giving shots!!!!....Yukky stuff!!!....

I became a firm believer that nurses are BORN not made!!

They didn't tell me all this when I was a 15 yr.old Candystriper in my local hospital.

I loved the little uniform, and everyone smiled at me, and it was fun bringing magazines & flowers.

[Neets]

Oh!! Not me..I am all happy and sun shinny in the morning before the cawffee kicks in.

[Guenevere]

#49...How long did your nose just grow???...:^

[Dog]

Our friends the Aussie are in the jihadist's cross hairs it seems....

Terror Threat for Australia

[Dog]

Sun shiny........you??

LOL!

[Neets]

HAHAHA....I am so bad in the morning....I always wake up looking "angry" happy....just like I did when I was born (so sayeth my mother).

[Neets]

Yea, me!! Why?? You got a problem witdat???? Tee hee hee

[Bitwhacker]

The LAST thing I want is for this bunch to get after me.

Just NEVER tell them when your birthday is...

[Bitwhacker]

i just loved the taste of the batter before it was cooked.

That's good, 'cause it becomes a doorstop after it is cooked...

[Miss Marple]

Jonathan Foreman of the New York Post talking on "Fox and Friends". Apparently he has a column today about the FRENCH, in which he actually calls them "cheese-eating surrender monkeys." LOL!

By the way, that term first was used by the Scottish groundskeeper on "Homer Simpson," according to Foreman.

I am going to look for that column!

lysie, I will try and find out about that bill...don't know anything about it right now.

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks you Nita!

Good morning everyone.

[Molly Pitcher]

Kay, I went out last night at 11 , & stayed about 15 min..... partly cloudy and the moon was too bright....Plus, east is not a good direction to view things from our house...:-(

Did you have any luck??

[LBKQ]

I thought I wanted to be a nurse, too. My Mom said it probably wouldn't work out too well since I'd probably be crying all the time. You are right. Nurses are BORN!
