Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[Tink & Goofy]

I know Manitou Springs very well! If you haven't already, eat at The Loop. Very tasty Mexican food.

That town has more witches than anyplace around. Very active Wicken culture there. And lots of greasy hair!

Hippies and Wiccans and margaritas, oh my!

If you ever get a chance to go to Lakewood, CO, eat at Casa Bonita's. Yumyumyum!
You'll get to meet Chiquita the Angry Gorilla!

Hello everyone! Looks like the CB is vicious tonight. I'm not going out there again tonight. Need to keep myself sane.

Welcome MKingdomLvr! Hope you'll enjoy your new home here!

Oh Casa Bonita is a Denver institution! I haven't been there in years, its not your typical Colorado style Mexican but I can honestly say, I do like it. Which all of my native Coloradoan friends cringe at when I tell them!

Meghansmommy: When isn't the CB vicious anymore?

They used to have one in Tulsa, OK but I guess not anymore. It is good mexican food, even if it's not typical.

You're having brats on the grill? I know kids can be a pain but there's got to be a better way to punish them... I'm just kidding. Well I get to WDW in 40 days to start the CP so I am about meeting you!!!

[MeghansMommy]

I'm repricing my inventory. Came upstairs for a break but I need to get back down there. I want it all gone on Saturday.

Wow! That's a long commute.

I grew up going to the one in Tulsa, but it doesn't hold a candle to the one in Denver. When did the one in Tulsa close? When I was really little, I used to think it was always nighttime when we went in there because I couldn't see the ceiling

What do you sell?? Perhaps I need to buy.......

Manitou Springs--I usually end up there at least once whenever I go visit my mom. There is an old time candy shop right near the center of town "square" where the old church and one of the springs entrances are. I always get their taffy and various stuff from my childhood there. There's a really good fudge shop too. Other than that most places are just a little too "hippy-ish" for my liking. The Penny arcade is kinda neat for the kids though.

I like Estes Park better. But then again they have quilt shops

What all is there at the North Pole place? Oddly enough I haven't ever ventured there in all my visits over the years.

 

[JB111107]

Teresa your books are awesome! I'm so jealous!!! Whenever I get around to actually working on learning that I'm gonna hit you up for help

Hi all. Will respond to some posts later, but wanted to give an update on what's going on here.

Thanks for all of the prayers. She continues to need them. And I do too because I feel like I'm going to have a meltdown before this is all said and done. In short, they have to do two biopsies in two weeks. They found something else they want tested besides the first thing. Probably won't know the answers until after Christmas.

I just don't know what to do. I guess praying is all I can do, but I cannot remember being so scared before in my life. She's fairly calm, but I'm wigging out. I did not get the "Calm in an emergency" gene.

Please pray hard. Thank you.

I like the one in the Better Homes and Gardens Baking book. It's really easy!

1 cup butter
1.5 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar (for holidays I use red and green!)

in a large mixing bowl beat the butter on high speed for 30 secs. Add the 1.5 cups sugar and beat until combined. Beat in eggs, cream of tartar, baking soda, vanilla and salt until combined. beat as much of the flour in as you can with the mixer (if you have a kitchen aid you can just mix it all in, the motor is tough enough!) Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hrs

Shape dough into 1 inch balls and roll in the 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar, place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.

Bake in 375 degree oven for 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool

Thank you ever so much for that recipe!

I made a batch for dessert, and they were a big hit with the family. I let the kids decorate them, and they had so much fun!

Your family will be in my prayers tonight. Thinking good thoughts!

I'm sorry you are so sad and scared. Remember worrying doesn't solve problems. Take care of what you can and leave the rest to God.

You are in my prayers.

JB - I sell scrapbook supplies - well, until the end of the month. I've been doing this for 8 years and it's time to get out. I can't keep up with my own albums.

I need to get back downstairs - wasting time here.

Oh SD - I am so sorry. I'll definitely pray.

I don't know. I haven't lived in OK since '99 and I think it was open then. It's sad that they closed it.

Hoping for the best outcome. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I know this is hard to deal with at any time, yet even moreso around the holidays. Remember, you get to be there for them in their time of need. Time is a gift from G_d. Use it.


In a good hearted kind of "share the misery" way......

We have very close family friends who have been trying for years to have a child of their own (they have 2 adopted children). They finally were successful through in-vitro fertilization this year. They were due to have twins in March 09. Unfortunately, they lost the babies last night due to complications.

Nathan and Noelle.

The funeral is on Monday. We helped pick out the caskets today. I could carry one in each arm if I needed to. We are simply bereft........(and they do not make an emoticon for this feeling).

Following these wonderful people through all the challenges and pitfalls they have gone through in fruitless efforts to have children

simply sets. me. on. FIRE!!

When I think of all the people who could have had children......yet chose to terminate their pregnancy.

I realize it is an emotional response. Yet, I would feel less than human if I did not think this way.

It is a casually cruel and unthinking world we live in.....and I wanted to let somebody know that we lost two wonderful people with boundless potential yesterday.....

Sorry for steering the thread negative, but it felt good to say this out loud.
