cmorgan21 says "For everyone who wanted to talk back to boss or coworkers" about House - Season One

cmorgan21 — Thu, 29 May 2008 05:29:06 GMT

House, Season One, is great watching for a long weekend or a short convalesence. It has been on Fox television for two seasons. If you haven't been a fan, the dvd will convert you and prepare you for season 3 in the Fall.

House is a great diagostician and a lousy human being. Every episode follows the same format: some patient has some unknown disease that will likely kill him or her. House and his team of doctors race the clock to figure out the disease and cure the patient.

House is uniformly mean to his subordinates and to his boss, the hospital administrator. Even his best friend, a cancer doctor, gets more insults than compliments. I find his brand of sarcasm laugh out loud funny. Most of the episodes have upbeat endings which reinforces what we all hope: a trip to the hospital will effect a cure. There are just enough downbeat endings to maintain reality and add suspense.

The medicine is well researched and riveting, as well.

cmorgan21 says "Save time and money" about Cuisinart Food Processor - DLC-2011

Cuisinart Food Processor is worth its space on the counter. If you have never used a food processor before, try all the recipes that come with the model. Then look online for more or watch The Food Network where chefs use their food processors constantly. I use mine for soups, stews, and salsa. I mix cake mixes with it for 30 seconds. It beats a mixer, and it is lots easier to clean. Surprise: you can also make great butter cream frosting from scratch. You can make it faster than you can unzip canned frosting and stir it to spreading consistency, and food processor frosting tastes better. Expect lots of compliments if you take a cake to a potluck.

I make salsa with mine and save $1.00 to $3.00 weekly over the price of premade salsa from the grocery store. By making my salsa, I control the salt. I also make mine by more bits and less tomato sauce: none, in fact.

I have had my Cuisinart for almost 10 years. It was the third I purchased after its two predecessors...

cmorgan21 says "The seam over the instep always rubbed even after broken in." about Easy Spirit - shoes

I bought Easy Spirit walking shoes because they felt okay when I tried them on at the store. After I wore them for more than 10 minutes, I realized that the shoes were hurting my feet. So, I wore them around the house for short periods or when running short errands. After two weeks the shoes still hurt. After one month, I realized that the red marks on my feet corresponded to the seam at the end of the tongue. Finally, I gave them to a thrift store.

My feet are wide. I have had trouble finding well fitting shoes in the past with other brands. Maybe my problems are my feet, not the shoes.
