i am a recipe person i am puerto rican and can't even make rice and beans without looking at a recipe. It is a generic recipe then i add to it and make it my own but i am so stict about measuring liquids and stuff like that. Spices i go to my taste. I can't do like my gradmother "that looks like enough water for the rice'
So how do you cook from the book or the heart or a combination

Combo of reasons:

1. He has a terrible short-term memory.
2. He CONSTANTLY mispronounces words and has a difficult time translating thoughts into words.
3. He also has a reading problem.
4. He constantly appears to be over-whelmed, flustered and disoriented

I realize that it is normal for ANYONE to experience any of these problems every now and then. However, I feel that he has a HISTORY of struggling with these problems and it has become apart of his character and image.

(I am not trying to "defame" those who have a learning disability, but I was just curious if that could also be his diagnoses)

This an honest question and I would love your thoughtful and honest feedback!

You can see how well this coujntry will care for its own, when they will bail out foreign owned finacial institutions, rebuild other countries,and even give foreigners entering our country more benefits than they do it;s own tax paying citizens, and they get the money from you and me every payday. are we that selfish of a nation?

I have been in Spain for the past summer. Returning home this Friday, after seeing the mimosa plants there I would really like to add some to my garden in the San Joaquin Valley... Does anyone know if these plants will thrive in the area?

My husband and I are thinking about setting up our own haulage business and need to find out how the jobs are priced, whether it be £ per mile or on weight etc. He has worked in the industry for many years but always for someone else and is trying to get a business plan together, but we need to know what income we would be generating.
Many thanks in advance

Hot off the press: Me and my friends have started a new web slang word. It's similar to rotfl (roll on the floor laughing)

But I want to know if anyone can get it without being told.

ROTFFLBR

All I can say is that carrots are a big clue. tee-hee

I think all that involve emotions are illusions. I mean all relationships are illusion. I personally think love is the biggest illusion? Can anyone there disprove it?

Im 15. my best friend is the same age but thinks i need to "relax" and "chill" when im out doing things im not honestly confertable with. Her idea of having a good time is drinking on the streets and smoking but im quite happy to have fun but not break the rules. Just because i have the confidence to say no and stand away so im not "typecasted" the same as them apparently makes me "boring". it really hurts that she thinks that. i don't know what to do because i no she should accept me for who i am but i feel like im not "living" enough and should be prepared to take risks to join in and "have a good time". is it just me? or am i too responsible for my age? if any thing did happen like i got taken home in a police car my parents would be devestated but then again is that a good thing for experience to learn from, then again surely those kind of things should come naturally? im so confussed what do you think?

On Dec. 24,Sirius (Star in the East) is aligned with the 3 brightest stars in Orion Belt, also referred to as the 3 Kings. On Dec. 25 the Sun rises and is in perfect alignment with all 4 stars. Could this be the origination of the story of the Birth of Christ? The 3 Kings follow the Star in the East to witness the Birth of the Son of God.

The Consellation Virgo (Virgin in Latin) is represented with the ancient glyph symbolizing the letter "M." Virgo is also referred to as the House of Bread because it rules the months of Havests Aug-Sept., and Bethlehem happens to translates to the same-House of Bread. Similar to the story of the Son of God being born of a Virgin named "M"ary in Bethlehem?

I have a 14 yo foster daughter. One night she had friends over - I went to bed around 11 but when I got up at 6am they were still here. I got angry and I threw them out.

They evidently hit my neighbor's car when they were leaving (neighbors called policee to take report - police questioned me & my kid and that was it. I don't know anything about the boys nor does my kid. So it's not like we can find them.

Am I responsible? The neighbors have approached me for the $500 deductible.

I am inclined to pay them the money and tell them to stay away from me & mine for the duration of their tenancy. (I own my home, they rent next door.) It pisses me off that they left a handwritten note on my front door to say they needed the names & any other info or they will have to go about it the "legal way" - my initial reaction was "So sue me, dummy!" But I'm trying to be grown-up and fair - besides I don't need the $ as much as they obviously do - or they would have come to me face-to-face!

(Optional)--any anecdotes.
..joys...regrets?

In 6th grade, I was in a band called "The Hard Times."
I played tambourine, was lead singer, and wore a long sleeved orange turtle-neck shirt onstage with a gold medallion,
and lots of Hai Karate...or was it BRUT?...BRUT!!
All I can remember from our playlist is "Dirty Water", 'Little Bit O' Soul" and "Louie Louie".

The actual Hard Times hit when I was watching "Shindig"
and ANOTHER band appeared on the show calling themselves THE HARD TIMES..thus shattering our
grade school pipe dream...ahhh..me!
