WD,

Well, well, well, good to see you again my friend. Your brought it here, you get the credit. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> So how are things going and what are you really up to these days.

This thread is sort of like "old home week". Lots of the oldies coming back. It is really nice to see/hear from everyone.

I guess it is a good thing NB is a "crusty" old **** <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I sure glad I am not <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Good to hear from you WD.

God Bless,

JL

Wow... WhoDat! Cool. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

JL, you're as crusty as they come... my advice: Don't pick at it!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

HD, JL's crustiness is contagious - be warned!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

AW! NB,

HD and I are in touch with our feminine side, right HD? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

At my age I am NOT crusty, I am mellow. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Well, most of the time...OK some of the time...OK occasionally. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I have a great recipe called EASY DUMP CAKE that my family loves....Think I've worked all day on it.

A big can of Cherry pie filling...a large can of crushed pineapple...yellow cake mix..and butter....

DUMP the fruit in the bottom of a 9X13 Pan..Sprinkle the cake mix on top...top this with slices of butter..bake on 350 (hope the oven's working) for 45 minutes...

VOILA!!! CAKE!!!!

Was just thinking of surprising my H with this when he returns from his trip....

I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

Thank you for that moving post. It brought tears to my eyes. Not that I'm not already an emotional wreck on the verge of constant bawling, but still...thank you. A ray of hope. I hope one day I can offer the same to others.

JL -- your feminine side is on your backside. (I don't know what that means, but it sounded funny! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />)

mimi -- that cake tastes great using pumpkin pie filling, too!!! I'm a dump cake QUEEN!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Silver -- Welcome to MB! I'm sorry you're in such pain... I hope you will write your story and get the support you need in your struggle! (Neat name, by the way - what's it mean?)

Ooooo, I'm glad Orchid brought up "Jello"---my wife just had four wisdom teeth out, and that's on the list to buy on the way home...

Hi all you "Krusty Burgers"...

K,

I had all four of mine pulled when I was 18. (NOT Fun - as you can probably tell...)

Jello is good - along with soup (if it's not too hot where you live right now)! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey Orchid -- Oh yeah, it *is* too hot to bake anyway... jello is good... but it doesn't have the necessary CARBS that I crave! LOL I could buy a cake and throw the jello on top of it, I s'pose! LOL LOL LOL

Hey Knewjie -- <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm so glad you can post now!! Yay!!

Hey K -- Your poor wife! Yikes!!! In the heat, too... DOUBLE YUCK.

ETA: I asked something and decided to begin another thread.

Angel food cake, frozen strawberries (sliced), large box of strawberry jello (2 cups hot water), a large container of coolwhip.....break the angel food cake into chunks, mix jello and hot water, pour over cake, mix in cool whip and strawberries. Put in a non-stick bundt pan (could rub or spray a teeny bit of oil in the pan) and let set overnight. YUM!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Cool cake....no oven!

Thanks for the welcome, I already feel this is a healing place to be. The nick has no special meaning, just popped to mind when I was trying to think of a unique handle that hadn't already been taken...funny thing, this one was still up for grabs <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My story to date is pretty much summarized under General Questions II ["Sending a Letter to the OW"] and folks here have been *wonderful* about offering advice and encouragement.
