Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.

I tried cooking in the toaster oven set on Broil. I thought 10 minutes (no preheating) would be fine, but that overcooked the thick-cut slices. I'll adjust the timing plus maybe baking at lower temp is better. "Low and slow" is always a better way for fatty meat (and most dishes in general)... isn't it? It splattered grease on the inside of the toaster oven. I guess there's no way to get around having bacon grease getting on things when you cook bacon...?
I'll can use foil to cover the pan, and that will help with clean up. Any other prep and clean up tips you have, I'm all ears. :-)
The chorus of redemption goes - the sun will shine on my back door again someday
I just called the hotel California to see how mom is - despite her being under the weather she was singing God bless America with the others for Veterans Day
Mom and her best childhood friend loved to go to Long Beach for naval day and visit the sailors during the war
How many buttons on a pair of navy pants?
The full moon of November 14, 2016 is not only the biggest, closest and brightest supermoon of this year. It’s the closest supermoon since January 26, 1948. Should you watch for this full moon on the night of November 14? Sure, and, if you do, it’ll be beautiful. But, for us in the Americas the moon is closer to full on the night of November 13.
The moon turns precisely full on November 14, 2016 at 1352 UTC. This full moon instant will happen in the morning hours before sunrise November 14 in western North America and on many Pacific islands, east of the International Date Line.
In Asia and Australia, the moon turns precisely full during the evening hours of November 14. In New Zealand, it actually happens after midnight November 15. Around the longitudes of Europe or Africa, look both nights.
Better yet … everyone, look both nights!
The moon will look plenty full and bright all night long on both nights – November 13 and 14 – as it rises in the east around sunset, climbs highest up around midnight, and then sets in the west at or near sunrise.
The moon won’t come this close to Earth again until November 25, 2034.
We will not be overtaken,
We will not be overcome!
Not as Americans,
Not as Christians,
Not as Women,
Not as Caregivers,
Not as anyone else, either...
I am surprised today after looking at the calendar, how fast Thanksgiving is creeping up on us. One of my neighbors has her Christmas tree up already. For several years now, seeing trees in people's windows has made me feel so alone and sad, and this year could be worse as my Mom died last January. Maybe this year I have to stay indoors at night and not look at the holiday lights I used to love so much. Keep busy with other things, that will help.
I have contacted AC staff-but if I am missing-just want you all to know this:
It could be either they went ahead and deleted me, OR
it is possible that I was raptured, and a few of you were left behind.
Ali, I believe you have the right to defend yourself and set limits (boundaries) which are not being respected. I also see the other person playing a cat and mouse game. Ignoring is the best way to deal with it, hard to do some times and some times we just have to go forth with both barrels.
In defense of the DYS thread, I want to say that some people get overlooked, it is not intentional. It happens to me also. One person who is very good at acknowledging everyone, does not post daily. If another poster is having a really hard time with something, everything is focused on that poster. This is normal. I have posted on the whine thread and have never been acknowledged. We do try to focus on new posters to the site who post on the Dsy thread too. A lot of attention is on welcoming new posters to the site. It is really hard to get to everyone and sometimes it may be a few days before a response is given. Hang in there everyone, I am sure the Whine thread will return in time. I am sad that Sendmetohelp is asking to have her account deleted. I hope she changes her mind and asks admin not to do it.
CM yes I have felt ignored on Dysfunction thread. There have been a few times where I posted a long, heartfelt post and received no acknowledgment at all. Not that I expect an "Oh, poor Gershun" cause I really don't but when you read all the other posts and everyone says something back and I don't even hear crickets..............well it kind of says something.
Just stressed lately.... more than I realized... And then Cap says something Cappy and he's a good target for me to be p!ssed off at...
It was back, I saw your post CW. The next post was by Cap, and it was a trifecta of Cap-iness: a denigrating comment about black people, something about "feminist skanks," and "welfare grabbing foreigners"... in a single post. lol I think he was going for a personal record of how much he could offend in one comment...?
I happened to be on the site right when he posted, reported the post, and mods took the thread back down.
That's basically what happened.
I'm going to take this opportunity to say - I'm not some "my way or the highway" Pollyanna who gets offended at anything/everything. I wish that member had more sense than to make THAT kind of comment as his first comment back on Whine thread, but clearly he believes he's been given a pass to make those comments... why else would he keep doing it, knowing it violates the site's rules... especially after those comments keep getting deleted...? This has been going on for years, and I know that. I've been on this site since before Cap's mom passed. I don't know what's going on with him lately, and I do have sympathy for him, but I personally do not want to see that type of crap every other comment from him. I have bantered with him before about our personal differences - and it was not a problem until recently. He's now to the point that he's vicious with me and I... was vicious with him... but I won't be anymore because that's just petty. I'm sorry for all the disruption I've contributed to. I'm not a freakin Pollyanna or a {insert your favorite slur for liberals here}, I just don't want to read that stuff from him all the time.
Maybe MY mind is slipping and he was always that bad and I just... had too much to deal with with my dad before and didn't notice, I don't know. What's been happening lately is too much for me, especially the blatant sexism against women at times.
Blah.
:-)
I think they'll put Whine back. Hold tight. Hopefully Cap's first comment won't be similar to the Cap-fecta he posted 2 hours ago.
Happy Thursday!
Or was it a figment of our imagination or our memory slipping :P
Wouldn't it be more professional of the admins to tell us what's happened?

Or offer them a bacon sandwich?
Cooking bacon in the woods sounds like a good way to attract some bears 🐻
I'm sick now mom is sick and her new roommate screamed all night last night
Cooking bacon with bears sounds pretty good
