The Jacksons, Week 12: The Adventures of Cooking for a Choosy Eater (ParentDish)

Dec 31st 2010 1:52AM The problem with most of those cookbooks is they are too fancy. They try to hide the "healthy tastes" beneath sauces and fancy spices. For picky eaters, most of us want plain and simple. We don't want tons of sauces or fancy veggies. It's not that I'm a meat and potatoes person. I'm a plain person. People call that picky because when I look at these diet foods, my appetite disappears. they're nasty. Really,, they try to blend too many tastes together and it just turns my stomach.

Now find me a diet WITHOUT all thoat fancy stuff, without all the gravies and sauces poured over something that tastes like cardboard, and I'm all for it!

But I also agree with the others. If you allow your child to contine ruling how you cook, you are CREATING a more picky eater. When I was a kid, I ate what was fixed. If I didn't like the "main dish", I put just a little on my plate, and then added more of something else. But I ate a little of EVERYTHING. I hate a heck of alot of foods I didn't like as a kid.

As an adult I have the pleasure of not eating foods I don't like. I'm picky. VERY picky. But you know what, I feel I earned my picky eating by having chicken caccitore as a kid, or the wierdest casseroles my mom could create. I ate foods that make me cringe now as an adult. Without complaint.

If you're going to cater to picky then go simple. If not, then you're just doing the fancy stuff for your own reasons, not because your child is picky.

Every time I see one of those commercials how their kids won't eat vegetables, I roll my eyes. If brought up correctly they certainly will. Just as they will learn that when they visit another's home, they can eat and pretend to like something out of courtesy.


Secret Regrets -- Men Share the Things They'd Most Like to Do Over (Lemondrop)

Oct 8th 2010 10:37AM Gee, Doug, selfish much? I mean, come on. She's bedridden and in pain. You are "wishing you'd never married her". Somehow I think her pain is alot worse than yours. And if she'd been 21 when you married and you 23 and she ended up bedridden and in pain, would you be saying "Dang I should have married someone else"? Your wife is young. She has alot of years of said pain to go. Age has nothing to do with it.

You are way more selfish than any of those young men in that article. Seven years is NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. And I doubt you could be "young enough to have a second chance" because no woman wants a man who blames his wife's illness on age and then wants out. Especially someone that young. Grow up.

As to the article, I found every one of those young men had one common thread - they all refused to share their feelings when it mattered the most. Maybe we should teach men how to share their REAL feelings, unlike Doug up here, who lies to himself and blames her age.

TRANSLOGIC 17: Nissan Leaf (AOL Autos - Translogic)

Aug 3rd 2010 10:24AM can't believe the charging station doesn't come WITH that $32,000 price tag. I don't know where they got the idea that the average person can afford a $32,000 car so easily. PLUS the charging station, putting it closer to $35,000 to have it!

One day they will be affordable, and maybe this is a step in that direction, but while this is a great tooling around the town car, it's not a car I could afford to get to just "Tool around town".

8-Year-Old Removed From Class for Using Olive Oil Hair Product (BV Black Spin)

Jun 7th 2010 8:35PM as someone who suffers from allergies from a multitude of "women's perfumes", I feel for the teacher. While it could have been handled better, it's not fair to torture the teacher because of an allergy. The teacher and principal should have called in the child's mother and explained the situation. Course, it's possible they did, and it's not reported here, because often those little details get left out of news articles.

Then the mother got all bent out of shape, thinking of her child's "Right" to wear what she wants, and therefore, forcing the teacher to have to put the child out of school.

I once taught a class (of adults) in which I was in the bathroom barfing due to a perfume allergy within minutes of the "new arrivals" coming into the room. TWICE I made the general request to minimize perfume because there was no circulation in the room and I suffer from asthma and allergies, before the woman in question got the point.

Sans Wedding Ring: Restless Finger Syndrome (BV on Love)

Jan 30th 2010 10:16PM My husband doens't wear a ring. His reason is that he outgrew the one we had when we got married. So I bought him a new one. He said no, it wasn't the SAME as the one he had before and made me take it back. Then, when I outgrew mine (Ok, we're both fat and sassy), he got very upset that I wasn't wearing the original ring. Yet, I didn't go ringless like he did. I wear another ring in it's place - one which is designed as a wedding ring in other countries.

Oddly enough, now he accepts that one as my wedding ring, but still wont' wear one himself. He loves jewelry, especially rings, and moans how he doesn't have one for different fingers other than his ring finger. Yet he won't let me buy him a new wedding ring.

He's not having an affair - he's not capable of that. He can't keep secrets. LOL. It's been 15 years since he was able to wear his wedding ring.

So what's his motivation for NOT accepting a new ring?

SuperZoo's Creative Grooming Competition (Pawnation OLD)

Oct 5th 2009 11:29AM You guys have no clue about these grooming techniques and how they work, much less what "chemicals" are used.

These dogs do not sit there for hours all on one day to get this done. They sit for their normal grooming time, then are off to play. You can't tell by a picture if a dog is happy or not. You can't see their tail wag! True, some dogs "Smile" at the camera, but not when on a stand stay, for pete's sake.

These dogs spend alot of time being handled by their owners, and love their owners Why is that such a bad thing? It's probably more attention than the average dog gets who isn't trained, or who never gets groomed.

I'm no groomer, but even I know these dogs get extra care just for being patient. When was the last time YOU spent hours with your dog in a week's time? Something more than "Here's your food, dumb mutt"?

GPS Satellites Could Break Down by 2010 (Switched)

May 20th 2009 1:45PM You're right, those are software issues - because I had those with mapquest long before we started using GPS itself. I've had Mapquest take me in circles that never end, and both mapquest and GPS told me to take a circle onto a main interstate, get off, get back on, then go back to the original road I was on. The software they use is very similar.

Common sense is important at any time you use something like this.

ANd the AF hasn't upgraded the satellites cause they have to have money to do that. They've been busy fighting wars with spare change. Makes it a little tough to replace satellite systems. ANd how come tomtom and the others aren't sharing - give a little money to use the systems they are hooked into?

Satisfied flyers? Not in these friendly skies (WalletPop)

May 19th 2009 4:09PM US AirWays loses it's pilots and steward/stewardesses too. And makes sure the public KNOWS that's the problem. Seems a bit unprofessional to me, but then again, in today's world, people are adamant to know every tiny detail of the delays and making people pay for them.

Danny Gokey Must Be Stopped (AOL TV: American Idol)

May 13th 2009 11:10AM Interesting. I'm over 30, and I hate Kris, dislike Danny, and think Adam rocks the house! Age has nothing to do with talent. Adam wasn't "Discovered" In LA. He's been doing theater, which is as much about acting as it is singing. Oh wait, AI is all about singing. Oh, and did you notice Adam is on the SMALL stage in LA? No, he hasn't been "discovered".

$250 checks sent to seniors on Thursday (WalletPop)

May 11th 2009 10:38AM This stimulous will be painful. They will send me $250 for being a disabled vet, then because I got the regular stimulus check, they will take it OUT when I pay my taxes. How fair is that? All because I'm disabled, but still have to work to make ends meet!
