I'd be Eames on Criminal Intent so I could jump Bobby on one long surveillance nights. Yum!

1. One place you volunteer (or would like to)? They have a program here at Children's Hospital where you can go and rock the crack babies. There's a special dark, quiet room with donated rocking chairs. I always wanted to do that, but for some reason have not. 2. One book you'd like to see made into a movie? The Secret Life of Bees. If it was done right, it could be very powerful. I loved that book. 3. One creature (living, extinct, or mythical) you'd like for a pet? I'm with Beth, a horse. (LMAO @ Sharon's "cute little" dragon!) 4. One place on Earth you'd like to visit? Rome, Italy 5. One talent or skill you'd like to develop? I'd love to be able to play the piano.

^ Exactly what I was thinking!! :icon_neutral:

^ Yes! Our wonderful Carol, too!! Love you ladies!

Aww, what a sweet article, and a very worthy cause. Yes, our Sharon and those like her are angels on earth.

If I'm comfortable enough with them to be in their home, I'd be comfortable enough to point out the tilted picture. I wouldn't just fix it, tho. With my luck it would fall off the wall and break or something. LOL

Oh dear, Marleen! Hey, I wonder if the postal service allows the mailing of things like that? Packaged goods? I could mail you the ingredients. I think Andrea works at the post office. I'll send her a PM and ask her! (you're on your own for that metric conversion, tho. LOL I'm clueless when it comes to that.)

I'll do about half online.

Here's a recipe that my hair girl told me about. It's on Paula Deen's website. My friend made it for Thanksgiving and said it was incredible! I'm gonna give it a go for Christmas. Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake Ingredients 1 package yellow cake mix 1 egg 8 tablespoons butter, melted Filling 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin 3 eggs 1 tesspoon vanilla 8 tablespoons butter, melted 1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg Directions Preheat oven to 350.F Combine the cake mix, 1 egg, 8 tablespoons butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Filling In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth add 3 eggs, vanilla,and 8 teaspoons butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar,cinnamon, nutmeg, and mixwell. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey. Serve with whipped topping.

Oops! :icon_redface: On my way to the recipe thread right now! Let me know if you try it. I think I'll make it for Christmas. It looks SOOO good!

Smarties Red Hots Crackers Ha Ha Ha! 3 favorite "oldies" songs? (Oldies means different things to different people, but I'm thinking 50s, early 60s type of stuff)

EEEKK! Yes, her teeth are hideous, but what about his? Ick!! Surely they make enough money to go to a dentist?? :icon_eek:

^ It would be a blast to do NYC with you, Beth!

^ That's awesome, Beth! You're lucky you get to go so often. I :heart: NYC!

be reaching for....

Ha Ha Ha! I love it. "What Would Jesus Buy", LOL

^ Marleen, I'll bet Toni can. She's the gourmet around here. The lady that does my hair did give me a recipe she saw on Food Network for a pumpkin butter cake that sounds too good to be true. She said she made it for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it. After work, I'll post it in the recipe thread. Yum!

Ha Ha, I like "hit" list. LOL! I'd agree that Hey Joe needs to be on there. Preferably done by the Knobs. : )

^ I like all of your answers! Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum Lady In Red - Chris De Burgh Pink Cadillac - Springsteen (stole Nancy's, but I love the song)

Ames, I love Amy's brand. I often buy that brand of frozen dinners. They have it in my regular supermarket, in the "gourmet" section, which really means "expensive". LOL The food is well worth the extra money though!

^ Those both sound like good books. I'm gonna check them out!

Oooo! Good one! I just made up the new ancient tradition "holiday BMW"! :045:

^ what time is the Petty Party?

Ha Ha Ha! Those were SO cute! Thanks Teresa!
