I still love this show. They sure costumed her in trendy clothes.

One of my favorite all-time TV shows! It was fairly cutting-edge for its time. She was really on her own, versus the earlier show of Marlo Thomas (That Girl) when Marlo had her boyfriend and father in the background more often. Both shows were fun, though! :)

I've had it it's 25 horrid way too cold degrees here! I hate the cold! It looks like I'm going to have to pull out the fleece leggings to put under my sweat pants, I'm also going to need a long sleeved T to go under my sweater and sweat jacket. Hat, gloves, scarf, coat way too many layers as I'm going to look like the Michelin guy so @MinnieM123 please take all this cold to your house. Thank you xoxo

Thank you--very gracious of you to share!! :hilarious:

From the Disney Food Blog so you can see them better:

They were better than the pizza this last visit. They are called Zeppole. Italy’s answer to doughnuts, these light and airy fried bites are made with a rich dough that includes Ricotta Cheese. They’re so delish dipped into the rich Chocolate Sauce and Whipped Cream served on the side.

Sorry but those are not Zeppole's. Cause when I think of Zeppole's, I think of this

DD went to her friend's birthday sleepover Saturday night and the friend's mom posted a bunch of pictures. DD made a silly face or gave someone bunny ears in EVERY single picture she knew was being taken. The only ones where she's not making a face are the candids and those, she's mostly turned away so all you see is her hair. What a goober!!! 12118986_1183073221719318_9190111148650536315_n.jpg

Sympathy like. Have you tried the Earth Balance olive oil or coconut spread? You might have good luck with those and no dairy
Good morning @figmentfan423. Thanks, I haven't tried either. I've seen Earth Balance olive oil spread. Putting it on my grocery list. Great idea. I don't know if you like Black Beans and rice, you can order just those two items at Pecos Bill's. But the rice does have a cilantro taste. The beans were very good, with adding the different offerings at the fixin's table. Just an idea.xoxo

Do you use any sweetener? Honey, or agave ? I'm stumped because I thought bread needed to have some sweetener to work chemically.
I use stevia or the monkfruit sweetener for most baked items or pureed raisins or dates depending on what I'm making. I use either honey or maple syrup to help bread rise. I also use applesauce or banana to replace most oil and they also give a nice sweetness to things.

Not to alarm you, have you ever had a MRI of your brain? I have a benign brain tumor at the base of my skull, I get horrible headaches if I lie on my back and it presses against the nerves. It's in the brain stem. If you haven't had one done, it might be a good idea to mention to your Doctor. They can determine if it would benefit you. I know now to always sleep on my side. The headaches weren't migraines. But, just as painful. My Doctor wanted to make sure nothing else was going on. I did the food testing too. Just glad I have an explanation for the other kind of horrible headaches.

Sounds terrible. Yes I have had several MRIs.

Oh, no! I agree with everything that you are saying, however, what I am sad about is that we got to this point. You know, I don't really feel that this is happening all that much more then it ever did, but, the 24 hour news services are taking things and running, first without really knowing what they are talking about, but, in the process are scaring the bejessus out of people, when you consider the number of people in this country, the poor shape of our health programs that allow "crazy" people to just roam the streets, buy weapons, etc. Or the brain dead parents that allow someone with issues access to guns, it's a wonder it doesn't happen more often.

In Canada, when you take into consideration the size of the population and the fact that they are spread out so much more then here in the states, I wonder if the ratio is all that different. If it is, it is probably because of the fact that they are able to get treatment regardless of their economic status that helps keep some of it at bay. I certainly do not have the answers, as I think there are many factors involved, but, I know that Canadians are allowed to purchase guns so it's not that part of it to any large degree.

It was nice for most of us, back in the old days, when we were totally unaware of probably 90% of the violence that was taking place. For example, back in 1963, two seniors from our local Catholic High School, went out one Sunday and killed a car salesman with a car jack just to take a joy ride. That happened in a very small town of Plattsburgh, N.Y., just 20 miles from the Canadian border. I'll bet no one outside of Plattsburgh ever heard about it and it was horrendous. It was a complete shock to the community, but, it affected zero others outside of that area because no one knew about it. There were no "copycat" incidents because others didn't even know it happened. Sometimes I think that today's wide open communication is a major factor in a lot of the violence, whether we want to admit it or not.

We are allowed to purchase guns but we have much stricter gun control laws and we aren't purchasing assault rifles. Canadians have way more guns than Americans per capita but much fewer instances of gun violence per capita. Have you ever seen Bowling for Columbine? It talks a lot about the comparison.

I think you might be on to something with the mental health care. Ours could be much much better but at least every single person has free access to it.

I think you are definitely right about the news coverage. The world is actually becoming a much more peaceful place but it you went by the news, you would think that it is worse than ever. That being said, I still think America has a lot of changes that it needs to make in terms of violent crime prevention and response.
