Act2, I'm not the gourmet cook around here but I can tell you this... I've cooked my turkeys in one of those Reynold's turkey bags for over 20 years. The turkey will always come out juicy and there's plenty of juices in the bottom of the bag to use on the dressing and for gravy. I rub the turkey down first with slightly melted butter (please.. not margarine), salt and pepper and then a little poultry seasoning. It's easy and everyone seems to love it. I remember my mother cooking turkeys in the oven... basting every 20 minutes... taking hours to cook. And they were always so DRY. But boy the house smelled great all Thanksgiving day long. sudo

Dr. Joe, eh?? I think I need to go get that dunce hat Krys used to wear all the time :blink: sudo P.S. Good tunes, Kathy.. Flipper is particularly nostalgic for me. Liked Kung Fu too!! :D

Mark, I don't get around on this forum as much as I would like, so I offer that as a way of explanation... Geeze, you're a real dyed-in-the-wool Catholic, huh? And I've been so impressed by your intellect on many issues, too. Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed but I've known all my life that I can't predict peoples' religious beliefs based on limited information. So... you believe little babies go to purgatory?? Can we still commit adultry, get drunk and screw, and generally act debauched but get ourselves an indulgance or two? A get-out-of-Hell card for the right price? Or what was good for Catholics in the 15th century no longer good today? You see, Mark.. I'm picking at you a bit because it seems strange to me that a sharp guy like yourself would still believe in ANY of that hokem pokem. But alas... lots of folks believe in lots of hokem pokem. We seem to have no end to the number of Islamic fundies who'll blow themselves up for "the cause". As long as you're happy dude. A good long life to you. sudo (disappointed)

Rick, I'm posting this while also downloading a HUGE file on one of my e-mail accounts. I wonder what it could be??? Re:"The one I posted also has a medical theme." Aw, C'mon and help me OUT here! That may be a good enough clue for Hiway29 but I'm a little dense. I need more help so tell me.. was I at all close on my perceptions?? I was out in left field on it being a private-eye, police drama thingee but.... it still has that B-2 Hammond organ..... is it a 70's show??? sudo P.S. Just got the file downloaded. Looks like there's a black moon on the rise.

Mooney, Sad to say 'tis true... Click HERE! to check it out :( . What's that saying about all the good ones being gay?? Well, there are plenty of average guys like ME (and needless to say... Ted) around to make up for it!! sudo

Rick, I'm gonna need hints here because yours doesn't even sound familiar. Could that be because it's been in the last 20 years? I don't think so.. I hear that B-2 Hammond organ and it sounds 1970's-ish. It also sounds like private-eye, police/action genré kind of stuff. Just not ringing a bell for me, though. And for you Dr. Kildare A.K.A. Richard Chamberlain ladies.... here's a pic but since he was gay... he's probably looking at the Best Boy on the set. Hee-hee! sudo

Kathy, I know you sing but do you read music? Here's the opening few bars and make note... it's in the original key.. two sharps. *I* know what key two sharps is because I was a French horn player in high school and college. I also play a little piano. I'd say MOST folks wouldn't know, though. Still, its a pretty good hint, huh?? Click HERE! sudo

Kathy, Well done. Well done. Now.. something I listen to when I need to calm the heck down. Click HERE! sudo

Greasy, You're a good guy but you don't understand what parents of rebellious teenagers go through. We have one such problem child who is 16 but thinks she's a mature adult. We've spent a small fortune trying to deal with her rebelliousness, selfishness and ungrateful ways. She was like this a a baby believe it or not. I first realized there was a real problem when she was still crawling and her big sister tried to help her walk. I saw her make a fist, I'm not lying, and hit her sister in the face because she wanted to do it HER way! Nothing we could do would make this child happy as she was growing up. We've had her in psychological therapy for years but all they say is wrong with her is that she is headstrong, determined and get this... angry. Yes she's angry though no one seems to know why. We've tried to love this child like we have our other two who are just fine. We spent $10,000 3 Summers ago to put her through one of those boot camps for rebellious teens and let me tell you.. that was the best money we've ever spent. Man, there was a big improvement after that but it didn't last because this is a very intelligent child and she knows we can't do that during the school year. So what do we do when she's found drinking? We ground her. But she sneaks out at night and we can't stay up all night every night. What do we do when she curses us and tells us to shut the f**k up? Why we ground her, restrict privileges . Now Greasy... any time you have a better idea here, just jump right in and let us know. We had her at the psychologist just today as a matter of fact but could be you have some inside information on how to deal with an insolent child. We've called the police and had them take her out to the patrol car in handcuffs when she wouldn't obey us and go to her room when ordered. But you know, Greasy... these kids KNOW that there's really nothing that's going to be done to them. The police take them down to Juvenile Hall and they are just released. The kids know this. And THIS child knows all offenses as a juvenile are expunged when they turn 18. So what are we to do when she doesn't come straight home after school? We know she's sexually active, too. Is that what she's been doing? In short, Greasy... this has been hell dealing with this child and we're not done yet. So yes, it DID rather disturb me when I saw your post and how you thought the mother's actions were disgusting. And what were YOUR suggestions for the mother?? That she help her child with homework? Did you even read that the child wasn't doing her homework? Was tardy?? Was sassing?? And this was the mother's fault? Yes, Greasy, now that I think about it.. you can spare me any more of your helpful ideas on how to raise children. And just a suggestion to you... before you start calling a parent's actions "disgusting" you might want to talk to a parent like me who has tried everything legal first. sudo

Kathy, Bravo, girl. Now I have one little question... could you give me a hint?? I think I have the right decade and genré but need a teensy bit more.. Man.. its been really hopping around here hasn't it??? sudo

Frank, Thank you. Still, You you ought to post more often so folks know what's going on. In many ways, my life spent in TWI is like a dream. I find it hard knowing I used to believe the TWI doctrines hook line and sinker. At least it makes it easier for me to understand things like the suicide bombers in Iraq. sudo

Mother Superior called all the Nuns together one evening and said to them "I must tell you all something.... We have a case of Gonorrhea in the convent." "Thank God," said an elderly Nun at the back. "I'm so sick of Chardonnay." sudo :P

Kathy, Re:"As those close to me realize all too well I work diligently at self-esteem issues. But one thing that just struck me here in my work environment was how these folks seem very willing to share their observations of my abilities openly with me and others that would have any interest in knowing.." I'm glad you brought this up yourself as I have been hesitant to bring up my concerns with your performance on this thread. You need to post more tunes, Kathy, plain and simple. You know. And we ALL know. That you've posted very very few songs since demonstrating that you can indeed post them. Some folks don't know how. You do. All we've been getting posted lately is the dull drivel that I have been throwing up at the last minute. If it weren't for Bluzeman's tunes, we'd have nothing interesting at all which brings me back to YOU!! It's about time you get cracking and post some tunes so I don't drive everyone away. Chop chop Kathy. Let's see some tunes or you'll single-handedly kill this thread. Yes. It'll be YOUR fault if the thread dies because you didn't do more posting of tunes. You don't believe me? Huh? You want PROOF or something?? OK.. You asked for it.. Here's an example of all you're getting out of me ... Click HERE! and name the performer and tune. It's bona-fide Nostalgia® material, I tell ya', because its over 20 years old. And... it's kinda' bluzey. kinda'... but is THIS what we want on this thread I ask you??? sudo

It's been a while but I gotsa' me one today. I'll submit it for ya'll's approval but it appears to me that the quality is going down a bit, you think?? It's a nice touch addressing concerns about e-mails from Africa, I think. When I see these things I can't help but think of how folks fall for scams. Me? Id'a never fallen for something this obvious but take my religious upbringing and a desire to know The Truth©... and you get a TWI cult member. sudo Mr.Ibrahim Duru ChairmanTender Board Of Independent National Electoral Commission plot 5,wusa building Abuja Dear Friend, I guess this letter may come to you as a surprise since I had no previous correspondence with you. I the chairman tender board of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).I got your contact in my search for a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction involving the transfer of US$20.5million. The above fund is not connected with arms, drugs or Money laundering.It is the product of an over invoiced Contract awarded in 2001 by INEC to a foreign company for the construction of high rise estate in the federal capital territory.

Kathy, Isn't that a little white-out on your glasses?? sudo (whose kids have never HEARD of white-out)

Frank, Re:"My wife still goes to their meetings." Ooooooooooo... Good info on your end!!! She should know all about what the innies are thinking about things. You oughta' post more on the 'About The Way' forum, Frank. Most of us have no idea how far out the innies are from reality now-a-days. I would assume almost no innies are using the internet, huh? Very interesting. sudo

Rick, You can apologize all you want to but the fact of the matter is that you've posted from a great movie, IMO. In fact.. I think you've brought to light something we ALL are interested in... movie songs.. and how they were produced, dubbed and generally became so much a part of our culture. I've gone out and found a tune from another fine movie that is a part of our culture that we all know had some songs dubbed. Heck... that's part of the movie isn't it? Click HERE! and have at it! Who's the singer? What's the movie?? Who were the actors? Whatever.. One of these fine days, and it could be when we are all retired so we have the time.. I'd love to have a Nostalgia get-together somewhere so that we could watch some classic movies and TV shows and such on a big screen. Pop up a ton of popcorn and have "I remember when" discussions. If all goes to plan, I'll be retired in about 15 years . sudo

Cowgirl, That sounded like Julie Andrews to me, too. Nahh... MUSTA' been Deborah whats-her-name, huh? sudo

Hey guys!! It's been a good weekend hasn't it? I was off yesterday because I was down at Oxford, MS seeing Arkansas beat us in football. But I had a great time partying in the Ole Miss Grove . OK.. I'll give it out.. the TV show was The Jeffersons but nearly everyone knew it, didn't they? It was a great show wasn't it? Anyone remember the line, "You want ME to get that?". Good help and all that.. hee-hee! I liked the way they made the Jeffersons wealthy after having them working class during All In The Family. It worked. It didn't work for Roseanne did it? After she won the lottery? Now for the theme song we all REMEMBER... click HERE! In case ya'll been clicking on previous links... they're not working today because Rick's server is down. So he wanted me to post a question for everyone.. Remember that Layla link he posted from Goodfellas?? It was done by a band called Dereck and the Dominoes. It was a one album wonder but question is... who was playing the slide guitar?? Hint: He met a tragic fate. sudo

David, Well, *I* appreciated your posting this even if nobody responded :unsure:. I was talking to Wasway this afternoon and primarily fussing at him for not posting as of late on the Nostalgia thread. Seems he's busy at work :blink:. Uh, huh.. but we got to talking (he's a temp history teacher) and the heck if he didn't have the Gordon Lightfoot song! So I edited it for those with dial-up (I can post or send the good MP3 version on request) and posting it. Good tune, huh? Click HERE! and go back to the '70's! sudo

Hey guys.. I'm not from Michigan so maybe I'm trespassing a bit but I've gots a question... I'm wondering how folks here have any idea what's going on in TWI in their area. Me? I've been out for years. I know nobody "in" so I have no idea what TWI is doing in my area. If I don't see a bumper sticker (and I haven't seen one for years... do innies still put 'em on their car bumpers?) then I don't know HOW many folks are still going to twig. Do some of you keep up with folks still in? Have family in? Just curious. sudo

Hey Cowgirl!! Welcome Cowgirl!!! We're sure glad to have you here, girl! You're pretty good, too, because *I* didn't know that movie was Goodfellas. Maybe you'll be good luck and bring the Weenie Roast Southeners here a bit of snow this year. We're crazy like that.. we LOVE snow. My main thing has always been old TV themes. And I mean pretty old because I haven't watched much TV in the last 20 years. So here's a theme song just for you, Cowgirl. And since this was such a popular show, I'm posting the theme that came on at the END rather than the opening theme. Click HERE! and give clues or ask for some. Sushi... YOU GO!!! Yeah!! We're "The One True Thread®" :P sudo

Geo, 'Ya ever wonder why the most important thing to the gods is that you BELIEVE in them? One might think that they wanted you to do good works, help the poor, fight oppressors even build altars to all the gods. Heck SOMETHING like that but no.. Jehova, Isis and Osiris that I can think of right off demanded belief in their existance as being paramount in importance. You doubted their existance?? You got sent to the nether regions. Didn't matter diddly squat what good stuff you did. Or for that matter... how much BAD stuff you did as long as you said you were good and sorry about it. Just believe and all was forgiven. It's almost like the gods' priests were setting the rules just to keep the adherents in lock step, huh? As long as the suckers believed, they could be controlled, no? But naw... that's just cynicism talking. Men of the gods wouldn't do anything like that. sudo

Pat Robertson's at it again. Click HERE! to see how God may afflict Dover, Pennsylvania because they voted out their school board members. I have to ask everyone... did not our time in a cult make us aware of leaders in OTHER religious outfits who act like cult leaders? So... anyone here agree with Pat??? sudo

Shell, Pop by my office. I'll pull that sucker for you meds or not. Hmmmph.. what kind of wimps need meds anyhow? Heck.. don't even need any numbing either.. just rip that sucker out with some channel locks. Cheaper that way. And who doesn't want to save a buck now-a-days?? Kathy... that picture you posted of a young Robert Johnson... Don't you see the resemblance?? It's so obvious! Here I am serving you "Truth On A Silver Platter ©" and you doubt me? Man, that hurts. Give me a minute to get over it.... OK.. bettter now. I'm telling 'ya that dude was multi-talented. Started up Johnson and Johnson and played the blues like a madman. Of course, he did have to sell his soul to the Devil at that intersection but what the hey... sometimes you have to make hard choices on short notice. He was probably made a trustee down in Hell so its unlikely he's suffering too much. Oh.. I got the link back up .. just click HERE! but gots to tell you... most folks don't love that tune like you and I do, girl. Yeah.. it rocks after the first minute, huh? And while I'm posting tunes that ROCK.. click HERE! for another tune we both like but for some reason... isn't that popular. Go figure :unsure: sudo
