If I retire at 40 than I might be able to make due with this same chair. The suction is gone and my butt fits pretty good.

40 would be cool only 15 more years for you then

Yikes I lost Lyn

I was calling DH to see how DS was (went to work extra early this morning) and the school called my cell....DS wasn't feeling too hot so I shut down and hit the road. We are home now...I just got done eating lunch so now it is time to clean the house

Yikes!!!! remember the day before I bought the plane tickets w/o talking to DH first? My sister just called (they want to go this summer with their firends) and she could have gotten the same price in July as I just got but she and her friend couldn't decide on schedule. She called AA today and the price was only good for 48 hours!!!!!! It is gone already. I checked my exact flight and if I booked it today for the 4 of us at the current, "normal/decent" price, it would have been $1200 more for the four of us I have no idea what my sis will do....

Hi everybody!

Whew! What a day.

Before I forget...a couple of you asked for that hard candy recipe. Here it is:

Old Fashioned Hard Candy

Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
1 dram LorAnn flavoring oil (1tsp.*) Cinnamon, Clove and Peppermint are very strong. You may want to reduce the amount you use.
Food coloring (as desired)
Powdered sugar (optional)

use of a candy thermometer is recommended

Directions:
Use metal spoons and measuring utensils. Lightly spray cookie sheet* or the cavities of clean, dry candy molds with Pam or other cooking spray. If using molds, you may also want to spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray. If after pouring the candy into the molds you have excess candy, you can pour it onto the foil.

In a 2-quart saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Insert candy thermometer if using, making certain it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Bring mixture to a boil without stirring.
Remove from heat precisely at 300 degrees F (temperature will continue rising), or until drops of syrup form hard, brittle threads in cold water. After boiling action has ceased, add several drops of food color (if desired) and flavor. Stir to combine.

BE CAREFUL OF RISING STEAM WHEN YOU ADD THE FLAVORING!!!

If making hard candy - pour syrup onto lightly greased cookie sheet or onto a heat resistant surface covered with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

If using molds - pour candy into prepared molds.

Do not refrigerate.

Cool completely.

For hard candy - lightly dust with powdered sugar on both sides, brushing off excess. Break into small pieces. Store in airtight containers.

If using molds or making lollipops, do not dust with powdered sugar.
