This family/friend sure does. These two are about as well-matched as two folks can get. (We sort of adore the Q too, but don't tell him...don't want him getting too big for his britches!)

Yes...my pomeranian...just not in so many words!

My grandchild makes me feel my youngest (believe it or not). Everything is so new and fresh and exciting to him, and he helps me see the world through his young eyes. His youth and vibrancy are quite catching.

This recipe was my sister's. I posted it on another site, and it was a huge hit. It's really simple to make, and it is delicious!

You will need:
1 loaf pan, lined with foil
1 pint whipping cream
1 can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
4 drops green food coloring
1 cup (six ounces) miniature chocolate chips
additional piece of foil

Prepare whipping cream per package directions and put in fridge

Mix together the condensed milk, water, peppermint extract and food coloring

Fold this mixture into the whipped cream

Stir in the miniature chocolate chips

Pour into the prepared pan

Cover with piece of foil

Freeze at least six hours

Remove foil and invert onto plate


Note: I slice this ice cream rather than scooping. It's yummy if you take a slice of the ice cream and then put a piece of cake on top.


Warning: This recipe will make you wanna slap your Momma!!!!

Thankya Q! Glad to see your smiling face as well!

The show Kung Fu really influenced a lot of folks when I was in high school. They were all taking martial arts lessons, etc.

Toilet-paper researchers create 3-ply tissue

Quilted Northern to market it to those looking for ‘quality’ bathroom time

NEENAH, Wis. - If two-ply toilet paper is good, then three-ply tissue must be better. At least that's what toilet-paper researchers in northeastern Wisconsin hope.

Yes, there is such a thing as a toilet-paper researcher. And a team of them at Georgia Pacific's Innovation Institute in Neenah has come up with a three-ply version of its Quilted Northern product.

The new product will be launched Monday. The company touts the toilet tissue as "ultra-soft" and says it plans to market the product to women 45 and older who view their bathroom as a "sanctuary for quality time."

Industry analyst Bill Schmitz is skeptical. He said extra layers make toilet paper stronger, not softer, although he said Georgia Pacific may have added extra fibers for softness.

I can just see Phil doing a happy dance now (with three-ply stuck to his shoe).

The State of Arkansas (where this occurred) is only ONE OF FOUR STATES in which this type of crime is not a felony. It is still only a misdemeanor!

Good to see there are still numerous folks who have a heart and can also see beyond the single incident.

As for the rest of you, I pray you are not enlightened by a first-hand experience, and I pray you don't have pets.

This thread just proves the old saying:

The more things change...the more they stay the same.

Hey Kiddo! Took your time getting here! But better late than never, as they say. Now when I blow the whistle, let the games begin!!!


(Tweeeeeeet)

Hey Kid! Glad to see your smiling face. Love, good thoughts and prayers to both of you while Steph's going through the surgery and healing time. (Hint for Matt: Try not to make her laugh too much until she's all well. If she has to laugh, tell her to put a pillow across her tummy!)

With regard to G: Oh yes! We do need G in these parts! I think of him often.

Serial killers usually start out by maiming and killing animals. Besides punishment, the person/people that did this need serious treatment.

And why post this? Because the mistreatment of animals is something that often gets overlooked or brushed aside. There is currently a movement to make the punishments for animal abuse much more severe, and this is the type of incident that shows the need for that.

Or then again, maybe they should be locked in a cage with some angry dogs.

SPRINGDALE : 10 kittens killed after facility break-in
BY ADAM WALLWORTH

Posted on Friday, September 12, 2008

SPRINGDALE — Police from two cities are investigating a break-in at Springdale Animal Services that left 10 kittens dead and 10 missing.

Nothing was stolen in the break-in at 321 Randall Wobbe Road, which was discovered at 6: 20 a.m. Thursday, said Lindsey Droste, director of animal services.

Someone climbed through a window in the shelter’s cat room and released all of the cats from their cages. Four kittens were killed at the shelter, apparently by being thrown against the ground, Droste said.

Six kittens taken from Springdale were found dead, killed in the same manner, in the parking lot at 675 E. Joyce Blvd. in Fayetteville, a shopping center anchored by Home Depot.

The six dead kittens were discovered about 1: 30 a.m. by Fayetteville animal control officers responding to a call from a parking lot sweeper. A transcript of the 911 call showed the caller noting the kittens were wearing collars marked “Sept. 11.” Droste said that the shelter puts paper collars on cats with the date they will be available for adoption. Cats and kittens are held three business days before they are eligible for adoption, she said.

Some of the other cats and kittens had been placed with dogs, but those were not injured.

It’s possible some of the missing kittens escaped or hadn’t been found in the facility, Droste said. The window is about 5 feet from the floor.

All of the missing or killed kittens are 8 weeks old or younger, said Teresa Johnson, assistant manager of the Spring- dale shelter.

Five of the kittens killed were only 4 weeks old and were taken from their mother, Johnson said, adding that the mother cat was crying for them all day Thursday.

“We’ve been asking why all day,” she said. “Why ?” Droste lamented the loss of the kittens but was relieved that the financially limited shelter wasn’t damaged.

“It’s horrible they killed kittens but they didn’t smash cages, spray-paint the walls and break every window they could find,” Droste said.

Springdale police had little information other than the investigation will continue, said Lt. Kenneth Church, afternoon shift supervisor. There was no damage to the shelter’s window, but a screen was removed where the break-in occurred.

Fayetteville investigators haven’t determined if the incident is related to a break-in at the Fayetteville Animal Shelter on Aug. 9 where someone freed cats and dogs from their cages, leaving them to roam around the facility.

“They didn’t harm any of the animals at our shelter, so we aren’t sure if the two incidents are related,” said Jill Hatfield, superintendent of the Fayetteville Animal Shelter.

Animal cruelty in Arkansas is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum sentence of one year in jail. Arkansas is one of five states without a felony animal cruelty law.

“We want these folks caught,” Hatfield said.
