Hi I'm Taz An alcoholic. LOL Lets see I started this thread in hopes of posters coming to chat, talk about their ailments, how they day is,ect.. All in fun. A place where everybody can meet and get to know each other.
"NO FIGHTING PLEASE"
Please take off your shoes when you come in.

OH If there is fighting NovaKitty will send you home without supper.

Taz

My shoes are off Taz. When I lived in Japan it was just assumed that one would remove their shoes

I am Rain and am - prior shoppaholic, wasabi addict, and anything else you can think of. LOL. I do not do things in moderation and I am proud of it lol. I have moderated now. Now that I am limping along.

Well, the girls want their pool up. Off I go.

Good for you. I wish I was a shopaholic. I would be broke LOL

This is most fabulous! I think we can have fun and relax with this thread. Today I tried to saw down a camilea bush that's become an eyesore. Those trunks are hard. I will have to do it in shifts. I took Rowdy for a walk and had to defend myself & him from the neighbors 2 very large rotties. They run at us to attack, but I had a big stick & when I raised it, they ran the other way. I really resent it when people don't keep an eye on their dogs, especially when they are so big they can do damage.

Can we call ourselves Tazerites?

Wait, Tazonians!

Hi Everyone,

I have been working hard today too.

I despise people who let their dogs run loose. That is a danger to everyone and to the dogs too.

This is good. We can all chat here. I will be back.

hey everybody I'm still fresh and new here, I see this thread has a lot of members whose posts i like to read. So today I had to take my cat to get neutered and i felt so bad dropping him off, just knowing that tomorrow when i pick him up he won't be the same.

Poor kitty cat. Yes, Tazonians!

Kris welcome.

No your cat will be better. He will be happier and live longer.

It is awful for cats to remain intact. You did a good thing and your cat will be just fine . Trust me I have a house full of cats and a dog and every one is spayed and neutered and they are very happy.

I hope so. He is still a kitty, and I enjoy how playful and energetic he is. He definitely keeps me entertained. I just didn't want him to get into the habit of spraying all over the place. Hopefully he'll come out being just as lively and spunky as he went in lol.

PNWRain Musician and TAZ (and all the rest). Yep, I can see myself hanging out here. Not much input on my end tho...

But hey, if you want a recipe or help with the computer, I can do that. (a better cook that a sys admin, maybe)

Two dogs, and am looking for a kitty (dogs are the wife's, the kitty is going to be mine).

Tell you what, I will just kind of read everything, and pop up every now and then when someone needs a pat on the back, or someone needs someone to say "Awwww..."

Me? I have worked around computers forever it feels like, but never liked the idea of "sharing" on "boards".

But I like this website, and even though I do not like how sometimes folks get a bit "mean" (as folks do everywhere), I like it here.

Not an alchoholic, just tired...

Id like to say hello I am new here and have noticed there is some tremendous spirit here! lol

Although I can see that many here are skeptical of newcomers, I am thankful to those who are open to us... I have already derived great benefit from your stories, comments & advice.

Anyways, thanks for having me as part of your community ~~<~@

PS: TAZ is my initials I always had little stuffed animals of him around

Much love <3

Well let me say welcome to both of you.

Hey, Groucho! I'm all about recipes! Frugal is what's on my mind these days. Any good frugal recipes? I also do freeze-ahead-cooking. Share those too if you have some good ones!

I'm so rude...Welcome everyone!

We're still doing the pictures aren't we? I'll be so sad if we stop that... Here for chat, there for pics?

Just for you I will go over and post a picture.

Then I must be moving along.

How fun.

Can I play? I wanna play.

Reminds me of the good old days.

Sure, anybody can. As long as it's all in fun and good chat.
I have 3 dogs. A bassett, Scotty and a Westie. All girls. Had to over power the males in the house. LOL

Taz, you still need to post pics of your pets.

I know I know. They need a bath. They go next week for their haircuts. Is everybody behaving? No spankings tonight.
I had to stay in the other room and watch "House MD" on TV tonight. It was 2 hours long. I came back and seen all of these posts. Glad everybody likes it.

OK I went to the store today and got the best ice cream I ever had. I'm eating right now. Breyers waffle cone Overload. I can't quit eating it. Gonna be a porker. I don't care. It's too good. YUMMY LOL

I have two cats. Madison and Tipsy Flower. Tipsy got her 2nd name after I was traumatized watching Meerkat Manor. When the old matriarch Flower died I actually cried! Thus Tipsy Flower.

I was going to name my Westie (Madison), but once I saw her I changed it to Bitsy. She was so little and sweet. She still is the sweetest out of all of them. I usually just call her baby girl now. She is a mama's girl.

My Madison is the typical moody cat. Every once in awhile she'll purr and love on you as you pet her. Then a nip and a swipe at you and she's done with your butt!

LOL Too funny.

Well I am friendly and pleasant but the only animal I have is a hamster.

But I LOVE HOUSE!!! I can't wait to watch it as I taped it last night.

Good morning all. it's a bright and sunny one here. i received a call last night from a friend of mine in Canton, GA and she was telling me about the storms up there. they've had over 20 inches of rain in the past 3 days!!! over 200 roads and all the schools are closed due to flooding and she said it was supposed to keep raining through this friday. which is totally wild to me, as I'm in the next state over and it's pretty as could be and I can't remember the last time it rained here. mother nature is a unpredictable as always. just thought i'd share.

Cheap food?

Stuffed cabbage! Everyone loves stuffed cabbage! And a great recipe to just whip up with few ingredients AND you mix and match as you like...

Get a head of cabbage. I like savoy. Snap off the outer leaves (cut around the root end, the leaves will just fall off) and steam them for five ten minutes.

Make a cup of rice al dente. Only cook the rice for about five minutes.

Cook until just clear, some onions with salt, pepper, and some chopped up cabbage.

Drain the rice. Mix it with a lb. of ground beef (cheaper the better) and a half lb of ground pork.

Mix up the raw pork, hamburger, vegentables, rice, and two eggs in a bowl.

Take each individual leaf of cabbage, take a 1/4 handful of the meat and veg mixture you just made, and place it in one end of the cabbage leaf. Roll it up like a burrito. as you roll it, overlap the end pieces over the middle. You should end up with something that looks like a small, fat, burrito.

Place them one layer deep in a glass cassarole dish. Throw in a 1/2 cup of water. Or, some tomatoe sauce. Cover tightly with foil (or the lid to the cassarole dish, unless you lost the lid or broke it).

Bake it for an hour at 350 degrees F.

Let it sit. I like it without the sauce. Just take them out and fry in a skillet with some butter and onions and cabbage, and serve with sour cream. Ukranian method.

Or, (if you used sauce) just eat them. Italian method.

Great with mashed potatoes.

And cheap, and filling, and from start to finish, less than two hours total prep and cleanup time.

Mmmm. Tell the truth, how gassy does it make you?
