This is Paula Deen's latest kitchen tool. It's used for cutting huge slabs of butter...mmm, butter!... for her recipes and then 'shaving' off just a tad so the other tv chefs will quit crabbing about her high fat cooking.

Quite a few elderly people can't afford the high costs of health insurance and/or insurance companies won't even consider them because of pre-existing conditions. The fees for prescription medicines can run into the thousands, per person, each month. Many elderly people have to choose - food, heating or meds - which will it be this month?

And, yet, here you are begrudging the elderly a 5% discount for a purchase. That meal at a restaurant might have been the one highlight of the month for them. sheesh

This is used for making/dipping multiple candles the old fashioned way. 'Starter' candles are placed on each 'thorn', the wick is notched under the hook to the side of the thorn. Then the entire load of candles are lowered into the melted wax, pulled up to air dry and when hardened they are submerged again and again until the candles are long and tapered.

I was and still am a big fan of the 3 stooges. Curly was always my favorite and when Shemp came on board I couldn't stand him. I didn't know why Curly was gone, just that Shemp had taken Curly's place. How dare he? It was sacrilege to me. I didn't know Curly had suffered from such bad health problems.

So, in retrospect, Shemp? I apologize for not liking you. You were just trying to keep the 3 stooges going.

Sorry, Shemp.

Miss you, Curly.

"Because the pope was a villain figure among Scotch reformers,"

There is no such thing as a "Scotch reformer". Scotch is a drink.

The correct term is "Scottish reformer". sheesh

I read a bit of trivia years ago about how you can also boil water in a leather bag. The native American Indians would use an animal skin pouch to hold water and hang it over a fire to heat the water. The moisture from the water kept the pouch from burning.

I have to argue one point. Brown recluse spider do hang out in outhouses. A doctor I knew who worked in ORs said the most brown recluse spider bites they treat are on men's scrotums who got bit by sitting on outhouse seats. Outhouses attract flies which the spiders like but the are aggressive and will bite other things that come into their territory. Be careful, guys! Those bites are seriously bad.

I took a self defense class a long time ago and the man who taught the class had a lot of wisdom in his words.

"At all times, be aware of your surroundings."

"If possible run for your life."

"Throw your wallet or purse far away from the direction you plan to run."

"Never, ever get into a car - even if someone is pointing a gun at you - because once you give up control you are at their mercy. And you will NOT get any mercy."

"Scream, yell, kick, at all costs resist your attacker. If they plan on killing you then the least you can do is make as much damage as possible first. It might make the difference in escaping from them. Attackers do not want attention from other people."

He also said that if you ever get the upper-hand on someone, say you knock the person to the ground "Give him the icing on the cake". In other words, don't give the guy a reason to get back up because then he's really going to be angry.

Best class I ever took.

My husband has a doctorate in chemical engineering and his constant complaints in his math and science classes in college were:
1) the teachers (professors) who were incapable of teaching the subjects.
2) They couldn't explain formulas or explain theorems.
3) Some could barely pronounce English words - many teachers were immigrants,
4) Some just didn't even show up to teach,
5) Some taped lectures so you couldn't ask for explanations or further information and, worst of all
6) Some teachers were not even qualified to teach the subjects.

All these things caused many problems for the students and the drop out rate was very high. A lot of unnecessary work went into researching and deciphering what the teachers should have explained in class.
