Escapee, just because your car is newer doesn't mean that you wouldn't find a mate at the Junk Yard. Newer autos get into accidents too. If you stop by one, perhaps they have some sort of buddy system set up with other junkyards to help you find one that might have what you're looking for. Or give you advice on how to go about it.

Escapee my friend just wrecked one same year same model. Just exterior/structural damage. Course you'd have to go to Kentucky to get parts for it.

Pancakes made/cut cut into shapes? No need for syrup if you put cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar on them.

Breakfast-in-a-Baggie --Select a handful of whole grain low-sugar cereal. Mix with nuts and chopped dried fruit. Place in a snack-size zip-lock bag. Whole grain English muffin-- (Stay away from brands with high fructose corn syrup). Spread with all-natural peanut butter and sliced bananas. Pancake cookie. Add wholesome ingredients such as flax seed, protein powder, and wheat germ to one cup of pancake mix. Add ½ cup water, ½ cup of yogurt, ½ cup of sweet potato puree and one egg. Mix ingredients (adding water for desired consistency) and make pancakes. Instead of serving in a stack over melted butter and sticky syrup, allow your child to pick up the pancake like a cookie. She won’t need syrup because the sweet potatoes will enhance the flavor naturally. http://recipes.kaboose.com/29766.html

These sound good and easy. Get Up and Go Breakfast Cookies For busy mornings on the run, these bite-size breakfast treats combine the goodness of orange juice and grainy breakfast cereal for a yummy good start to your day. Ingredients 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 1 tablespoon orange zest 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (eg. Grapenuts TM) Cooking Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, orange juice concentrate, and orange zest. Combine the flour and baking powder; mix into the fluffy mixture until blended. Stir in cereal. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove from cookie sheet for cooling.

Does anybody know what this means? After the big storms here a few weeks ago, the insurance has decided we get a new roof for house and shed, and $107 for refrigerator spoilage for the 36 hour power outage. The roofer guy just left after measuring and configuring everything. He was outside with DH for about an hour. Anyway, DH came in and said we are getting rid of the turbines on the roof and getting some kind of new fangled tunnel system to cool the attic that is supposed to work better than the turbines with our attic fan. Does anybody know what the heck he is talking about? A tunnel system? I should have gone out there but I had to stay inside to keep the dogs calm.

Ridge vent, maybe? It is sort of like a little roof that sits in the middle of the center of your roof where it meets. It vents the attic heat all along the roof seam. http://www.airvent.com/homeowner/products/ridgeVents.shtml

Naja, it sounds like a flexible tube-like area in the peak of the attic with a built in ventilation system, to regulate heat loss or gain at different times of the year. Or maybe through, if you have any, skylights?

Ya ha! You guys are great! After seeing your posts just now I called the guy to ask the actual name of the system and he said "Ridge Vent" Wow, My roof is going to look so different. I am going to go take some before and after pics for the heck of it.

Anyone know what eBay Countdown is? (or have ever used it?) Now I know there is a huge explanation on ebay of what it is exactly but it is sooooo long. Can anyone give me a nice short and sweet version of it? THANKS!!!

Never heard of it, Julieboo, but I broke down and bought a three year subscription to Auction Sentry (for about $10 a year), after I did a ten day free trial, and I really love it. I thought I bought it for its sniping ability, but I am ending up really liking it for other reasons. Ebay Countdown sounds like a bit of the same thing, except free from Ebay.

I think I may have a DQ that just might stump the TVCH Think Tank..... I have no idea why I remembered this all of a sudden, but.... Wayyyyy back when I was in grade school, I remember a science class I had. One of the projects for the science class was a school-wide thing. Every science class had to do this project at some point (can't remember what grade it was). It was sort of a rite of passage to do this project in science class at the school. And, each class was sworn to secrecy to never reveal the solution to the problem presented us. If we failed the project, we would just never know how its done..... The project? Well, we were each assigned our very own earthworm. And the assignment was to turn this earthworm blue; without killing it. Our team never found a solution. And I can't remember now if anyone in our class ever did. But classes ahead of us always said they did find the solution. But of course they were sworn to secrecy. Did anyone ever have to do this? Is there really a solution? Or is the solution that it can't be done? I Googled various search phrases about turning a worm blue. But I got hits that had nothing to do with science. So, I figured if there really is a solution, maybe someone out there knows. Or maybe, I just went to a very weird school!

Who, do you think it's a pun? As in if you upset someone you can say they are feeling blue, so you could poke the worm and it would be blue? I kind of think it must be a school joke as there's all the secrecy involved. I couldn't see anything on the web about blue worms either. Weird!

LOL Twinkie! Could be! Kitt, I kinda wonder if the solution is that it can't be done. That could be why the preceding classes were sworn to secrecy, so the upcoming classes wouldn't just throw in the towel right off the bat before giving it a try.
