I have been snoring lately,Northstar. I hate winter,the heater blocks my nose up at night. I can tell I've been snoring,because I wake up with a sore throat.
Squared,I saw a report on TV about some companies are actually encouraging their employees to take a half hour power nap in the afternoon. They have a quiet room set up for naps,and schedule it in half hour increments. The companies report that they have better productivity in the afternoons since starting this.I think it's a great idea!

Do you have too many carbs at breakfast and lunch?
Add some protein for energy.. (at least that's what this lady said on TV the other day.)

I have been wondering something for awhile. In the member's area, I have noticed someone having 100+ messages and then the next day they have 60. What's the deal with that?? It has been driving me nuts!

Bakerygirl - we routinely delete old messages in the members folders, in order to help keep the number of posts down on the board. If the number of posts on the board grows too large, the board slows down, and we have all kinds of other problems. So anytime a member folder gets over 85 messages, we delete the oldest archived folders. Hope that helps! (K)

Cooking question....or maybe baking. I want to make heart shaped chocolate chip cookies for the kids classes next week, but I've never rolled out chocolate chip cookie dough. Can I? Or should I just stick with the round ones?

Bakery, you can save those messages if you want. Not sure if you're near the limit, but if you are, its pretty easy to save the archived folders. Just right click on the archive you want to save, a pop up appears, and says something like "save target as." Click that, name it, and it'll save to your desktop. Hubby created a folder for me for the archives, and I drag them to that when I save them.

War.. I think you could roll out the dough and use the cutters... Just don't make them to thin or too thick.. Good Luck!

War, I'd say find a small heart cookie cutter (heart shaped) and buy the dough in a tube. Because the cookies expand as they cook, a small heart woudl turn into a bigger one. (or cut out shape with a knife using tube cookie dough)

Thanks guys! I make my own dough, believe it or not, lol. I've done sugar cookies before and done the cut outs, just wasn't sure about doing it with chocolate chips.

What happens if you forget to show up for jury duty?

Failure to report for jury service carries a penalty of up to a $1000 fine, and in some instances, the judge can hold you in contempt of court and confine you to jail. Payment of a fine will not discharge you from jury service. You can still be required to serve even if you are fined.

War, my suggestion for the purchased dough was out of ease only. Figured it would be easier to deal with than the home made dough, if your objective was to get heart shapes at the end.

Wargod! You are giving techie computer advice! Yay!!! I did not know that about saving the archives. I nominate you for geek of the day. (Draheid doesn't read over here, does he?)

LOL, do I get a trophy or a ribbon for that?

War, I only have 12 messages so I don't think I'll have to worry about saving messages for awhile. Just curious about the other's who had alot of messages.
I should know the answer to your baking questions since I have been baking everyday for 7 years.. But I have never done that so I'm not sure if it will work or not.. I would try it out first before you need them next week. I don't know why it would not work, except it would be hard to roll out with the chips, I would try the smallest chips possible.

OK, here's a truly silly DQ...

I was watching TV tonight, and someone picked a banana from one of those wire "tree" things, that they make specifically to hang bananas on. I was having one of those things were I thought "I wonder if they keep bananas fresher longer" type moments." Then I went beyond that moment and wondered, what happens with the last banana? I mean, I'm assuming you hang the banana bunch on the tree at the point where the bananas attach to each other. Once you get to the last banana, and there is no longer a second one to help hold it on the tree, what do you do? Just lay the last banana on the counter?

You see, I have this stupid habit of thinking things out way too far in advance!

This makes me laugh. OK, I have a banana tree, and yes I think it helps prolong freshness. In order to save that last banana's dignity, I simply take a knife and cut off the second to the last banana leaving the stem attached to the last banana's stem. This "V" stem then helps hold the last banana on the tree.

Can you say orange?

I can't seem to locate one of my favorite threads since the moves. Can anyone direct me to the thread of fun questions...where the person who answered the question....asks the next question?

Thanks I just can't seem to "see" it.

THANK YOU Conejo! I couldn't find it and thought it would be lost forever if someone didn't go and rescue it.

What does heezy mean?

Heezy is a Fluffism that began in chat one night. It can mean anything from great to disgusting. Fluff uses it in place of just about any word and the only way to know what it means it to see it in context.
