I just ponder why people would return gift cards? Really -you can pass this along to someone who likes that particular store or a needy person.
....well that's just plain goofy!....

I didn't think it was possible to return gift cards. When I get a gift card I won't use, I donate it to a non-profit organization to raffle off.
I didn't think it was possible, either. Stores usually tell you when you purchase it that it's non-refundable except for store credit (which is, basically, just using the card, lol).

A moment ago I was cutting a loaf of banana bread with one of those baker bread knives and cut open my thumb. The soft pad on the end flushed with red and the meat flipped back like the flesh of an apple. I think the bleeding has stopped. It hurt for a minute or two but no more...is that normal?
Yes..or you may be some kind of weird mutant who heals spontaneously due to banana bread residue on blades..my advice,keep a loaf of banana bread handy...
BTW,I love me some banana bread,and haven't had any in about a year or so..I must search some out,and that,right soon..

I just tagged you in a Holiday Treats thread from 2013 where peanut butter fudge is discussed.


Thanks! I'll look.....can't hurt

Yeah.....I clear the history daily.....OCD that way

Keeps the porn viruses to a minimum as well...............

Did it use marshmallow fluff? I have one that my mom made when I was growing up and is the only one I use when I make it.
Tagging and recipes and porn viruses - oh my!

[marshmallow fluff - mmmmmmmm]:chew::drool:

....it is indeed, because you severed some tiny nerve endings....you will have a small dead spot at the site after it heals, until the "circuitry" re-routes itself......

I just checked it, you're absolutely right. It is a white spot of dead skin, sealed with dried blood like black sap...sorry, but this is a SK site, lol. Were you a medic once? It seems like I remember you talking about your working in a hospital.

I spent most of my Christmas cash & gift cards on gym clothes/sneakers.
I gained 10 lbs. since October :/ and since I'm rather short, the weight shows more.
I'm by no means overweight, but I've been the same size since I lost the baby weight after my son was born (2003) and my clothes are rather tight now.
Another reason I dislike cold weather is I become so much less active and just feel sluggish.

Has anyone had a lychee before? I recently learned of them and apparently they are grown in Florida (among other tropical locales). I do remember, as a kid, things like kumquats and purple yams, and drinking the sweet water from green coconuts. Our neighborhood was filled with interesting flora and fauna but a lychee tree was not one of them. Spideyman fljoe0

What do they taste like, I wonder?
