Comments: Did this format change by itself? Yuck. Has anyone heard what happened to Valley View Mall this morning? I know it was supposed to be auctioned off at 9:00 a.m., but I haven't seen any thing else about it. How sad. I work nearby and for years have been able to run there on my lunch hour to pick up gifts, etc. It has really been sad to see it go downhill. That just leaves the Galleria in this area, and I refuse to go there. Trying to park at that place is a nightmare. Valley View is 39 years old. North Park is older, but it seems to be thriving.
Comments: My old hotmail account -- grannybunny@hotmail.com -- that I've had ever since email was invented, was hacked again, sending out spam messages randomly to people in my contacts list. This is the 3rd time -- over many years -- that it's happened. Some of you may have received weird messages in the past week, purporting to be from me. I sincerely apologize. If you have received any, but not yet opened them, please delete without doing so. I will not be reactivating that account, even though it is the one to which most of my personal messages go. The email address I am using here is OK. Thanks!
Comments: Barry: I heard about AARP and the other one last week. I joined the new one (too early a member to even remember the name) and will drop AARP when it is 'dues time.' I've had all my insurance with State Farm for a zillion years and for that reason I'd likely not change. Thanks a lot for the financial information though.
Comments: The good people at Network Toolbox are looking into this issue with the weird formatting. I hope they fix it soon. I tried and had no luck.
Comments: I brought my lunch 'most of the time', but I bought it enough to remember the green booger burgers as Danny and Kimballites.. called them.. We had all those 'kiddie' lunch boxes in HS. Mine was a Disney Yellow School Bus with all the characters hanging out the windows..
Comments: I can't speak for Charlotte, of course, but I never bought my lunch. Cost too much, for one thing. And I've always detested standing in line.
Comments: Charlotte..did you go into the lunchroom with your eyes closed..? Those were a part of our lives for most of those 12 years.. You saw and probably ate a Booger Burger...!
Comments: Aaargh! This wide screen formatting is driving me nutty! 
Comments: Oh My Goodness! I have NEVER heard of or seen those green burgers...sounds gross...stop yourselves!!
Comments: That's Kimball HS..Just saw my mistake...
Comments: Danny Smith/ Kimbal HS and head of the Oak Cliff Boomers on FB...said they called those Booger Burgers.. Kinda fits, doesn't it..? They were good even though they were green.. Danny posted the recipe too..Think it was a year ago...  Booger Burgers..Yep, I like it...
Comments: Gee. I thought it was my Ipad screwing with the format. [B][/B]
Comments: I personally am not buying that it's the relish that turned those buns green. Wonder what happened to our formatting here? I'll e-mail the guestbook provider and see if they can fix it. This format is icky.
Comments: Thanks Martha, So it is the pickle relish that turns the school burgers green. You can read the recipe if you just keep pulling the column across. I always wondered what part of the chicken the chicken rings came from. LOL
Comments: I am not sure what happened on that last post but you can look up school burger's for Dallas schools and get the recipe.
Comments: Okay, here is the school burger story and recipe one more time... Response: You called it a School Burger, but its official name is Hot Meat Bun, Sandwich 13. DISD shared with us versions of the recipe that make 50, 100, 125 and 175 servings. I don't think you really want to make it, but you'll probably find the method.....well, interesting. For 50 servings, soak 6 ounces of stale bread in 2 cups of beef stock until soft. Mash until no pieces of bread remain. Add 1 cup water to 6 ounces of dehydrated frozen potatoes; bring mixture to a boil and set aside for 10 minutes. Then drain the potatoes and chop fine. Have you noticed there's no meat yet? Well, here it comes. Combine bread, potatoes, 2 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper with 9 pounds of ground beef. Place in large shallow baking pan and bake at 425 F until well done. Stir often and keep meat broken up with potato masher. Do not let lumps of meat form. Pour off excess fat. When not lump busting, chop 1 pound of onions and combine with 1 cup pickle relish (hence the aforementioned greenish cast), 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 cup mustard. Add relish mixture with meat and mix well. Moisten with additional beef broth (up to 2 cups) as needed. Spread meat mixture between halves of hamburger buns. Stack filled buns two layers deep in shallow baking pans. Cover and heat well just before serving. This is a true recipe; I could not make this up e is the school burger story and recipe one more time...
Comments: "School burgers"?
Comments: Does anyone remember the green hamburgers we used to eat for lunch when we purchased our school lunches. My question is what was in those hamburgers that turned them green?
Comments: Ginger, I don't know about the rest of you, but I agree most of us have paid in over the years and receiving out Social Security checks at a time when we are no longer able to work really makes a difference in our golden years. Seniors are the one group who seem to be doing well economically compared to other age groups and that is because of Social Security. I, personally, like Obamacare. I like not being turned down for insurance coverage because of a predisposed health condition. We also need a strong honest government to keep up the infrastruture of our country (ex.bridges, roads, water,and other needs). It isn't Socialism but common sense.
Comments: You can definitely 'Live on Less'.. It helps to have some degree of intelligence...to do so.. I had a house that we renovated, and I designed a new kitchen.. We were moving on up..as the song said. Bad marriage, bad situation. I miss that house, but I wouldn't trade the peace of mind and ownership of my 'own mind' that I have now.. There are ways you can do this. Remember most of us have paid into the system...for many, many years. We deserve to get some of this back.. Realize your priorities, and figure it out..
Comments: one of the few freedoms we have left in US is we can still get the hell out if we don't like it. exactly what i plan to do in 2 yrs. let them try to find me or any $ i have in Tweed Heads, Australia or Flamingo Beach, Costa rica.All i need is shack on the beach w? hot plate & hammock, 3 tank tops, 2 pair sandals,small boat & fishing gear.old jeep 2 go to town for salt, pepper, rum & medicine & rest of world can take entitlements to hell with them--mike
Comments:
Not saying that you suggested it Kathleen..sorry..didn't mean to anyway. I was just commenting on the subject..But, see,even the Golden Acres was telling folks how to milk the system. I''m just sayin....
Comments: Charlotte, I wasn't telling anyone to pretend to be destitute. I was just remembering a meeting I went to at Golden Acres where they discussed the various ways to pay for Senior care. They also discussed setting up trusts and other possibilities.
Comments: You might want to check this out. I was a member of AARP for several years and dropped my membership when they supported Obamacare. I never did get any benefits from them. I tried to get cheaper insurance, cheaper hotel rooms, etc with no benefit. So, I had heard several radio ads for AMAC and I decided to join. I checked out their home and auto insurance and even though the home insurance was just a little less than I was paying with Farmers, my auto insurance premium is almost 50% less. My homeowners insurance and car insurance combined is only about $10 a month more than my car insurance was before switching. Your results might vary. Their insurance is with Travelers.
Comments: Lynell: You have your facts all wrong. The father does not go to work everyday. He's just fathering more children with more women so he can increase his income. It's the American way. It started with FDR and the CCC, grew under LBJ as the Great Society and has continued with every administration since then. The Land of Entitlements!
Comments: If there are any really wealthy women out there, I am available for adoption! I'm sure Joan would be OK with it. Well, maybe not. Nevermind......
Comments: People...they 'hide' their money.. I do know that.. My money's visible and it's not much. I live in very nice subsidized (I'm sorry to say) Baptist Senior Housing.. There are people that give their property to their children or I have a friend that gave her house to her Methodist Church.. She said it was too hard to sell, in a questionable neighborhood(actually all of Memphis is a questionable neighborhood) so she signed it over.. It brought her rent down here, which is based on SS, retirement and assets.. There's a 93 yr old former nurse here, and they just found her CD and IRA..I guess she thought they were hidden...? 1st Baptist Memphis has an ordained Female Junior Pastor and female deacons.. I'm amazed, but of course, they're not in the Southern Baptist Convention.. It's a miracle that I found a church with Baptist not SBC, in the title that is recognizing women as equals.. There is a God..! 
Comments: Another scam is for a mother of young children to claim she doesn't know who the baby daddy is, so they can get on the dole. Meanwhile, the father lives in the house with the mother and kids, and goes to work every day. .
Comments: Oh, so one is really not destitute, but pretends one is destitute by "giving" ones $ away so that our taxes can pay for their care? I believe that is the entitlement called Medicaid. I suppose that is some of the fraud that I have read about and why Medicaid is making it harder to get it.....even for those who really need it. That is, unless one is an illegal immigrant.
Comments: In my former post it should read...at first I THOUGHT you were saying ........hahahaha. It was late!! |
