Yep, Jess's words of wisdom and poetic expression continue to amaze, and from a scientist too What a dichotomy to find it all wrapped up in one package What's left for the rest of us poor mugs?

You guys is sweet :wub: I just try to translate how someone's words make me feel, into sentences. I'm glad I seem to feel the way others do.

Y'know, Bun, my boss stopped talking to me when I started wearing low cut tops and push-up bras. Kind of a good thing, so don't waste that sort of power on an interview...

Hee! My interview's with women. And it's at a company that does auto salvage and auctions. So if I need future leverage over a male muckety-muck at the company, I'd like to hold my cleavage in reserve! Besides, I've had enough co-workers think that glasses + cleavage equal sexy librarian tiger woman! Rar! Down boys, glasses just mean I'm nearsighted and lazy.... Cleavage means I need to do the laundry...

Pfff not at my old job it didn't! My MANAGER's tattooed breast was on display quite often, in fact!

You can't fill a hole in someone else's soul. Your job is to enhance his life, not complete it, that's up to him to do. You are a vibrant, intelligent, loving woman and you are more than enough for someone who isn't hiding from themselves. You can't fix him. You can't make him see you for who you are. You CAN be the most amazing you that you are. Stop waiting for his approval, just be quietly awesome, as you already are. He will, or he won't, realize what he may be losing, but what he realizes is up to him, not you.

You are welcome to come up to Bainbridge for a weekend, if you don't mind construction and no kitchen. We can drink heavily and you can scream all you want.

Wow! You's amazin'! Very insightful! I flipped out on him yesterday afternoon. I told him he couldn't ask things of me and when I give him 100% of what I have, then complain that it's not enough. It's not fair. I told him it's his problem, not mine and if he's not happy with who I am, then MOVE THE F*CK ON!!! I don't deserve to be with someone who's always looking for something more. If I'm not enough, he needs to find someone who is. Oh yeah, and this really makes me want to jump in the sack with him.....give me a flippin' break!

Bainbridge sounds like a blast!! Wodka, fresh air and most importantly--amazing company!!

Aint it the pitts? Just gonna have to do a multiquote on every post and then delete the whole blooming lot

That's what I do. Then my computer does this wierd thing--whenever I stop talking, it automatically shoots to the top of the reply page and I can't even see what I was doing unless I start typing again. It's epecially a pain since I'm not a fast typer

.. .. ..And that you are young.. . . ......

And that you haven't nursed 2 kids to the point that you have to pull them out of your pants just to hoist them into a bra

[jerseyangel]

Good for you, Rah-shell! Giving is all well and good but I'm so glad that you stood up for yourself--it has to go both ways.

NOW you're talkin'!!

Do you all remember the wonderful bib that I painted for my mom as a birthday gift a couple of years ago? She has always been a spiller -- while she's eating, drinking, preparing food - -always getting stains on her bustline, as that's where it all fell and stopped. So, I made her a HUGE bib that she could really use at the hospital now as she is getting into her clothes (great sign!). A big bikini-clad torso.... . . .I know it will be a hit there. Think I'll post a pic of it on Da Book. .. . . .. . ..

Maybe you've shocked him in the right direction. If not, maybe you can shock him in the right direction. They do those electic shock treatments at your hospital?

My computer jumps & makes it near impossible to babble on. I don't let it stop me!

Must see a pic of this! My mom always dribbles on herself. I don't think she would wear a bikini painting tho. Your mom has a much better sense of humor then mine.

Need some cooking advice:

I want to make a gluten-free dessert to take to the Robotics Banquet but I haven't really baked anything yet. Needs to be something teens will like & not to hard to make. Need to make lots because the kids will all want to try it. I can bake with gluten, just have to figure out how to without it.

The kids were quite matter of fact when I said I had to eat gluten free. Almost no questions because they are so used to all these different restrictions thier friends or they have. Mostly they just want to eat my Crunchmasters crackers or chocolate.

[jerseyangel]

Kharreign,

If you want something simple, why not do gluten-free brownies? You can frost them and sprinkle nuts or something on top. Betty Crocker is good, Gluten Free Pantry is even better if you can find it. There are also tons of recipes for them on here in the cooking and baking phorum.

Did try the BC with added choc chips & they were good. Maybe I will try gluten-free Pantry.

You wanna bake from scratch? I would give you my chocolate cake recipe if you want it---cookbook preview It's pretty much no fail!

[JNBunnie1]

I'm pre-interview self-medicating with the almond butter brownies I made from Elana's Pantry website. They're pretty darn good, not for the normal baker though. I'll be frosting the lion's share for my 'birthday cake' later today, hopefully it will also be 'new job cake'! Or at least, 'interview went great' cake! We is goin to the club tonight, woohoo! My mum also sent me some mysterious birthday present project in the mail, very curious to see what it is, should get here later today.

TITLE: Darkest Chocolate Cake

INGREDIENTS

2c gluten-free flour (I use my own blend)

1 scant tsp xanthan gum

3/4c unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4c oil

2c sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2c espresso (or 2 heaping TBS instant coffee mixed into 1 1/2 cups hot water)

DIRECTIONS

-Preheat oven to 350. Prepare 2 9" cake pans, 1 9x13 pan or 12 muffin tins by spraying with cooking spray. Line cake pans with parchment or line tins with liners

-Fold dry ingredients together with a large spoon, then sift with a whisk until well combined

-With an electric mixer, mix oil and sugar until well combined, scraping the bowl a few times

-Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between

-Add vanilla

-Alternating dry ingredients with espresso, add to the wet ingredients, mixing well with each addition and scraping the bowl in between.

-Pour into prepared pans and bake until the center of the cake is set and a toothpick comes out clean 35+ minutes for 9" pans, 40+ minutes for 9x13 pan or 20-25 minutes for cupcakes
