I grew up in Michigan, a beautiful state and wonderful place to live April through mid-October. But man, I could not take those winters any more.

Does anyone else get irritated when they make a really good dinner, and the spouse/significant other/kids don't eat it or don't like it? I bragged here about the chicken cacciatore I made a couple days ago. IMHO, it turned out delicious - just like Nonna used to make. The crock pot makes...

Ooh, that's the good stuff! That's what my mom always used as a base for turkey soup with barley, made a day or two after Thanksgiving. Slice up the giblets, boil everything up, pull the meat off the neckbones, and then toss all the meat, plus celery, carrots and barley into a big pot of...

I cannot imagine Obama not being the Democratic nominee. The unions might not be thrilled with him; Democrats might be disillusioned that he has not done as well as expected; and there might not be the same huge wave of enthusiasm for him this time as there was 4 years ago. But for any party...

It's your life. What did you like about wearing them? What do you like about not wearing them? What are your communication strategies if you don't use them? What are your communication strategies if you do? I would definitely check back in with that hospital, though. HAs are expensive...

Probably less awkward than if one had won and the other lost, though. At least this way, they can both cry on each other's shoulders, and say "Better luck next year." Both games were good games, with the outcomes in doubt until the last seconds. That, to me, makes for good championship games.

You handled it in a way similar to what my mother did. My older brother and I started to get mad at each other and fight a lot when we were about 11 and 13 years old, respectively. My mom started putting old t-shirts, worn-out pillowcases, and things like that in a big box in our back room...

I confess that I gave my husband a Nook Tablet for Christmas, yet oddly enough, when it is in use in this household, 90% of the time it is in my hands. Do I owe him another Christmas present?

Can you try a different hearing aid? I tried a loaner Oticon Chili this past summer, and was so excited about it based on so many people here really liking it. I HATED it! I don't know if it was the adjustment, or what, but it made noises uncomfortably loud yet not at all clear. Listening...

Well, so much for THAT plan! I'm happy, and looking forward to the Brady-Manning match-up.

"Wonderful" is the word you are looking for. :lol: (Pats fan here.)

Hmm... maybe so, maybe so. Pats won by the skin of their teeth today, so I'm hoping for a Giants win, because a Tom Brady vs Eli Manning game would be fun to watch. But I don't have any serious rooting interest there. Good game so far.

How do you like the sound quality?

I posted in the other topic, guess it really should be here. I made chicken cacciatore in my new crockpot. It was delicious - tasted just like the dinners Nonna used to make. I think there is enough for two more dinners out of it. Those crockpots make huge amounts.

I am giving my new crockpot a workout. Made chicken cacciatore today. So good! I really do like this plan of preparing things at mid- day and then letting the slow cooker do the rest of the work all afternoon.

Totally with you on all that.

It was a joke, Jiro. Didn't you notice the rolling eyes? I haven't eaten at BK since - well, just about forever. Wendy's is my fast-food outlet of choice. My favorites are their excellent salads and in winter especially, I love their chili.

I'm just so glad that BK is delivering now, because like many people, I have a real problem getting enough fat, salt and sugar in my diet. :roll:

I am a late-deafened adult. My hearing is down around the 80 - 90 db range, and hearing aids work very well for me. I am currently using the Phonak Savia Artes. They are a few years old and have since been discontinued by Phonak, but the new Naidas also work down to that range. I don't know...

My cynical guess: she had some financial assets that he now wants to claim as her widowed husband. It seems very, very strange, and creepy.
