Pat, this is your fault.. should't have gotten me going!

"start with a quart of water in a glass pan. Add a half bottle of dish detergent. Gently stir. Put in microwave on high for about 45 minutes. Then you may add the macaroni."

I keep praying for money, but I don't know if it is getting saved..

We should include quick microwave recipes, unless they threw them all out after mogs rant about them. I will have to do some research..

Or old fashioned macaroni bratton like grandma used to make..

Well.... if they can afford a gas or electric range.. the possibilities are endless!

For example:

Filet Migaroon

toasted macaroni and cheese sauce

Parboiled macaroni

macaroni salad, the salad is only made with macaroni

macaroni steaks, rare, medium or well done

Macaroni fricassee

macaroni stew (unless they only have a license for hunting fricasseing macaroni)

I am sure that recipes that include the cardboard box would be equally welcome..

heh heh heh.

Yep Belle, there is nothing like new and improved kool aid.. the trick is to change the recipe and not tell anyone!

Glad you liked it Kathy. You might say that squirrels are my hobby..

Actually, I'm not too upset about the B-. It was a pretty tough course. I think about 1/4 of the poor kids there were in their second time through the course.

As for me: an A+ in Physics 211, a B- in Organic Chemistry I.

In a way, I hope they make that guy one of the next bots. I would have more fun here than I am having already!

"three servings of bread a day starting to make you feel run down? drink water.."

Pat: I wonder if you thought about: De Vey cookbook. Every recipe could guarantee that you get three meals a day, and do not mix bread and vegetables. Of course, meat is prohibited- not because of belief though, but because it just plain costs too much.

Or Physics 101 for the new wayfer: why drinking water miraculously gives you more energy. Have to replace the meat with something, you know..

I think its funny- every once in a while they stick their head up out of the hole, wondering if ex-wayfers are still watching. You just can't purposely be that mean to so many folk and not expect a few consequences. Of course, they can always chalk it up to the debil. A more logical approach would be a SINCERE apology, and perhaps some form of restitution. Any other path, and their little cornfield outfit is doomed.

But then there's always this place. They will have to wait for the demise of the internet (ha!) or for us folks to die off or forget how to use the computer. Not likely to happen for quite a while. Rosie and crew will be long gone by then..

Even a prophet can speak presumptiously..

I don't know about anybody else, but my "snake-oil" alarm went off pretty loudly when I heard that. Too bad I ignored it as many times as I did.

I leave about half a pound of walnuts out for him in the morning. Good thing I don't put out any pot for him..

Hey! That looks just like my squirrel! (kind of, anyway).

I resolve to not call the BOTs or minions a**es this new year. Should last the most of five minutes..

But I am not so sure about the plots.. seems they still think that they have the power of God Almighty over those that are outside the "walls of Zion". Witness the recent lawsuits and legal wrangling. How dare anyone question the obvious fact that THEIRS is THE way!

Uncle H., I think you are absolutely correct. But with the current trend, in about five years or so, Rosie will ask Donna, "how are the follwers doing?" "Which ones?" "Whadya mean which ones?? There are only a dozen left!!!"

They probably keep her around to discourage lawsuits. I could not imagine what it would be like, as a lawyer, to have to sit in a small room with her as she gives her deposition.

Maybe Wal Mart or another big place like that could hire her- put her in customer complaints department. Their store would instantly go to the top in the organization as far as customer complaints are concerned.. "no more complaints here!"
