There are alot of busy mom's and this recipe is so easy to make and is very good. I made it in the morning so I just had to pop it in the oven last night.

When you get ready to put the egg noodles in the pot; take the aluminum foil off the cake pans to let the meatballs brown some on top. Serve meatballs over egg noodles.

At a Senior Citizen's luncheon, an elderly gentleman and an elderly lady struck up a conversation and discovered that they both loved to fish. Since both of them were widowed, they decided to go fishing together the next day. The gentleman picked the lady up, and they headed to the river to his fishing boat and started out on their adventure. They were riding down the river when there was a fork in the river, and the gentleman asked the lady, "Do you want to go up or down?" All of a sudden the lady stripped off her shirt and pants and made mad passionate love to the man right there in the boat! When they finished, the man couldn't believe what had just happened, but he had just experienced the best sex that he'd had in years. They fished for a while and continued on down the river, when soon they came upon another fork in the river. He again asked the lady, "Up or down?" There she went again, stripped off her clothes, and made wild passionate love to him again. This really impressed the elderly gentleman, so he asked her to go fishing again the next day.. She said yes, and there they were the next day, riding in the boat when they came upon the fork in river, and the elderly gentleman asked, "Up or down?" The woman replied, "Down." A little puzzled and disappointed, the gentleman guided the boat down the river when he came upon another fork in the river and he asked the lady, "Up or down?" She replied, "Up." This really confused the gentleman so he asked, "What's the deal? Yesterday, every time I asked you if you wanted to go up or down you made mad passionate love to me. Now today, nothing!" She replied, "Well, yesterday I wasn't wearing my hearing aid and I thought the choices were f**k or drown."

Sorry that happened to you..bummer. I am happy that you had good luck on craps:) I love blackjack myself:) I know that alot of people study the horses..but..I am the kind that just sees what the weather is like...what the track is like, how the long the race is, what post position they have and who the jockey is...look at the horses before the race and go from there:) I may look at the odds..but I don't really go by the odds..just go by intuition:) I miss going to the track. I used to go just for fun once in awhile when I lived in Nebraska. I miss riding horses.

I found my mom's pie crust recipe in a church cookbook:) I made this apple pie this morning and it looks decilous. If I can make this pie ctust..anyone can:) **When making a double crust pie, pour 1/8 cup milk over top crust and sprinkle sugar over.

Put dough disks in a food storage bag and refrigerte for at least a half hour. You want the dough disks to be cold before rolling out. Put a piece of wax paper on a cutting board; put one of the dough disks on wax paper, lightly flour on top of dough disk and rolling pin; roll out dough to fit your pie pan. Once the dough is rolled out; flip the wax paper over onto pie plate. Pinch any loose dough together if broken; fit dough in pie plate. Roll out second dough disk. Apple Pie Filling: Sprinkle Brown Sugar over bottom crust of pie crust. Slice 7 Apples and put in large bowl. Add 3/4 cup sugar, sprinkle cinnamon in to your taste; 1/4 cup flour and 2 T. Blue Bonnet Margarine; mix well. Put apple mixture over the brown sugar and spread evenly over the bottom crust. Flip second pie dough disk over apple filling; crimp pie edges. Pour 1/8 cup milk over top crust and sprinkle sugar over. Make slits on top crust using a sharp knife. Bake apple pie in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour.

Thanks for making me laugh:) When players go off on me while we are playing...I don't say anything..I just let them rant and focus on the match. The more they rant..the more I want to beat them lol They usually get so busy ranting that they don't focus on the match and lose to me:) then I get the last laugh lol However...when they call me every name in the book and threaten me in the room where all the players can see it..now that is a different story! I have nothing to be ashamed of..but..that player is a true whacko head and they will hunt me down and bother me when I am playing. I can't block them out of my games..can only block them from playing me or messaging me. I don't want them coming into my games and hassling me. That would really P_SS Me OFF!

Thanks..will check back off and on today to see what name you came up with for me and if other members have too. Some players need to grow up big time. I did play one match after that and played a very nice player..she is from Iowa she said..so that helped my mood. I don't like to talk alot hardly when I play but she asked me if I was from Nebraska and that is how we started talking. Wish more players were like her and don't get an attitude lol

Well..played a match last night and played a player who called me every name in the book almost..I don't want to play them again...blocked them out so they can't play me anymore, but, I don't want to hear B_S from them in the room when I play tonight..and I know they will go off on me again in the room if they are playing and see me come in. I am a fair and an honest player. I knew I was going to lose the match so I resigned the right amount of points to them. They have a choice to accept or refuse my resignation for the match and I waited a long time for them to respond. I finally got tired of waiting and x'd out the game...so they went on a rampage about me in the room so all players could see. I replied to them in the room that I did resign the right amount of points to them and waited forever for them to accept my resignation..but..they didn't respond to my resign button. I also said alot of players just leave when they are loosing a match and at least I resigned...but did that stop them from running their mouth---NO!! I go in to play and have fun and don't want to hear crap from them tonight when I go in to play, So now I am in the search for a new name again. The name can't be long though because they only allow so many letters in a name when you register...any ideas????

Thank you for pointing out my mistake:) You don't peel the potatoes...I edited it and it is complete now:)
