I'm sure you know what i'm talking about

everywhere i go, they'll be atleast 1 person who stares at me. but its not the kind of stare, where you look, make eye contact, and he/she looks away,

its the kind where your wondering "WTF?" because even when you make eye contact....for longer than 3 seconds (which seems short, but think about, its preety long when your staring at a stranger) and they don't look away.

this could be a bad thing, or a good thing.
-they could be staring at you/me because they like how we look? which could boost are ego and raise our confidence
-or they could be staring at you because your weird. which could make you overly self-conscious.

has anyone notice this? wtf is up with it?~

I want to do a very special breakfast tomorrow. (We've had a really bad time lately with several family members, so we just need a little extra TLC for ourselves.) Found this wonderful-sounding recipe for breakfast casserole, but I don't know what would go well on the side. (Blueberry muffins? Garlic cheddar cheese grits? Fruit?) Since all we usually do is cereal or toast, I'm not sure what would go well with this. Suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Charleston Breakfast Casserole
Submitted by: Scott M.
Rated: 5 out of 5 by 133 members Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 50 Minutes Ready In: 1 Hour 20 Minutes
Yields: 8 servings

"An easy, crowd-pleasing breakfast casserole with a crouton and Cheddar cheese base. This recipe calls for bell pepper and bacon, but you can have fun playing with the ingredients to dress it up or down, depending on the occasion."
INGREDIENTS:
12 slices bacon
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 cups croutons
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
6 eggs 1 3/4 cups milk
1 bell pepper (any color), diced
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3. Melt butter in the microwave, or in a small pan on the stove over low heat. Spray a 9x12 inch baking dish with vegetable spray. Place croutons in the bottom of the dish, and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with grated Cheddar cheese.
4. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisking to break up the yolks. Add milk, peppers, mustard, salt, and pepper, and beat until well-combined. Pour over the croutons and cheese, and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.

I will try to keep this brief...I disassociated myself several years ago. My husband was raised as a JW but was never baptised. We have a 9 year old daughter. Both of our families are JW and my husbands family would like to get together for a family portrait since they have never had one done with all of us together. Everyone is included, except me. Naturally, as a gut reaction, my husband refused for he and our daughter to be there since I was not included. My question is would this be a mandatory exclusion of me from the picture, or is this a conscience matter? I understand them not associating with me and we don't, but just standing there in a picture, is that forbidden as well? Would my in-laws be in trouble with the congregation if they did have me in the picture? Only serious answers please!

I got this cheap thing which is a microwave-safe, burrito-shaped plastic bowl where you can put mixed egg batter into and put on the microwave for 4 minutes. Last time I did it it smelled nasty.

Can I still do it, or is it not recommended?

I drew my fiance Mike's younger brother in our gift name-drawing this year. He's 19, recently married and a new dad as of this August. He and his wife are really struggling to get by financially. The gifts have a $40 limit. We really want to get them something that will help them out. They could probably use the $40 more than anything else, but we don't want to insult them.

Any ideas on something creative, really useful yet not insulting (like straight cash)? We can go over the $40 a little as long as they don't know. I was thinking maybe, like, frozen meats? Like Omaha steaks, only something less expensive where they can get more. That's all I've come up with so far. Please help! We really want to use Xmas as an opportunity to help them.

should i discard of this or write it in my journal?

welts all over my body
broken glass surrounds me as i sleep
the world fades as my dreams get deep
a feeling of temporary content
only temporary until

GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ominous voice boomed a reaction of silence filled the room going as far as to make the furniture feel uncomfortable
roaches scattered and lights flickered
oh how i wish i could hide with the roaches
how i wish i could just simply hide away with no bothers no cares no priority's or responsibilities

NOW!!!!!!!!!

fine i'm awake

COME ON
COME ON COME ON BONES DON"T BURN THEMSELVES!

no more no more i hurl my self into the fire
give me the painful loving embrace of death
i've waited so eagerly for


NO these flames not meant for you to desecrate

skeleton hands push me out out back into my room surrounded by broken glass once again

once again the day stays the same

i bought tofu on a whim. i'm a new vegetarain or fairly new if you will and i wanted something that was good for me and tasted good. so i went down the isle and there was so many different kinds and i happened to see the ready to eat tofu and i got it. it's going to expire in a week or so, so i finally got the guts to taste it. and guess what? IT WAS DELICIOUS! so i want to do know what i can do with it? i don't want to eat it plain or as a stand alone, i want to mix it with something so i can have my family try it without knowing what it is. it is smoked ready to eat tofu.
