Dear Sendhelp,

Its so true. The thing I was most afraid of was the death of one of my parents. It happened to me and I wished I could have put it off just a bit longer. The facts are the facts and I can't avoid the pain and sorrow.

Thank you for your reply. I will try my friend. I hope I can do some good during this difficult time. I am eternally grateful to all my friends here on this forum and their replies to me during my grief journey. Their answers hold me up, when I want to fall down.

cdnreader,
Don't know what to say, now that the thing you didn't want to happen has happened. But there are others, who I see that you are supporting, even though your loss was recent. Reaching out, so you won't be alone during this difficult time, is one good thing you can do for yourself and others.

You are not alone, there are others. Stick around.

Dear Sendhelp,

Thank you for sharing these quotes. You've Got Mail is one of my favorite movies as well. Thank you for picking the quote that expresses so well how I feel tonight. That's how I feel right now, no one can ever make it right since my daddy died. No one.

One of my favorite movies: YOU'VE GOT MAIL
Kathleen Kelly: [writing to "NY152"] People are always telling you that change is a good thing. But all they're really saying is that something you didn't want to happen at all... has happened. My store is closing this week. I own a store, did I ever tell you that? It's a lovely store, and in a week it will be something really depressing, like a Baby Gap. Soon, it'll just be a memory. In fact, someone, some foolish person, will probably think it's a tribute to this city, the way it keeps changing on you, the way you can never count on it, or something. I know because that's the sort of thing I'm always saying. But the truth is... I'm heartbroken. I feel as if a part of me has died, and my mother has died all over again, and no one can ever make it right.

It's personal- movie quote: You've Got Mail
Joe Fox: It wasn't... personal.
Kathleen Kelly: What is that supposed to mean? I am so sick of that. All that means is that it wasn't personal to you. But it was personal to me. It's *personal* to a lot of people. And what's so wrong with being personal, anyway?
Joe Fox: Uh, nothing.
Kathleen Kelly: Whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal.

Thanks Sharyn. I am familiar with the real Durkees and have an easy sauce recipe for parties, adding miniature coctail weiners. 1 Bottle of Durkees, and one can of cranberry sauce in crockpot.
It must be famous if people are trying to copy it?

We are real mayo people. I went through a phase around age 12 where I used MW, switched back after a year. We have Best Foods mayo/hellmans same thing.

Ham today. Bean soup tomorrow. :-)

Beans are soaking already, and I'll get them into the pot with the remainder of the ham & bone tomorrow to cook all day. DD is happy - she loves the stuff. I'll eat a little of it and freeze the rest, and she can take it with her when she moves. It's not exactly low-carb friendly. I love it, but don't need to go haywire with it. She wasn't too happy to find out I had sent most of the high-carb leftovers home with my brother. LOL

My parents were Miracle Whip fans, and I grew up eating it, too. Once I moved to the south, I was introduced to real mayo, and have been eating it ever since. Now when I try to eat Miracle Whip, I find it sickeningly sweet. I'm also trying to limit sugar in my diet, so the MW is out. My favorite mayo is Duke's, which is a southern product. When I moved back to Michigan, Duke's wasn't widely available up here, so when I would make trips to the south, I'd pick up several jars and spirit them across state lines back here with me. LOL I know it wasn't illegal or anything, but it sure felt shady.

Not often, Lu, but Durkees is the best! I prefer plain mayo on my specialty turkey sandwiches, but would like Durkees too. It makes a great sauce for chicken, mixed with a little cranberry sauce.
Some people love Miracle Whip. My great aunt used to use it for potato salad, her speciality.

Lu,

Nearly the same recipe here - hellmans is best foods out west and we add a little sweet pickle too

Mom isn't a fan of paprika so pimento instead and olives

Happy Easter

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

I've found I can make deviled eggs the day before...I put the yolk mixture in a ziplock like cwillie does. The halves of the egg whites have moisture so you put paper towel in the storage container, then put the halves upside down in a single layer on the paper towel and cover the container. The next day, the excess moisture is in the paper towel, the whites are fine and you can just fill them with yolk mixture.

Hi MsMadge, I have to bring the deviled eggs tomarrow too but I don't follow a recipe.I make 'em like cwillie except she has a great idea about putting the mix in a sturdy bag and snipping off the corner to fill the eggs.But this is how I was taught to make the eggs
Ist,Boil the amount of eggs you want.For 24,boil 12 eggs.
Then scoop out all the yolks into a mixing bowl.
Then add mayonese.I use Hellmans.About half to three fourths cup full depending on how much yolk stuff you have.Then I add alittle mustard.You can always add more but easy does it on the mustard at first.Then whip it in the mixing bowl all together and Taste until it tastes liikke you like or it's right.
Then I usually use a teaspoon and I fill each egg(but I like cwillie's way).Then sprinkle with a little paprika and top with a green olive.And That's it.How I make 'em.
Good Luck on yours.I'll be thinking about you....Lu

After fiddling with various recipes I've realized I like my devilled eggs plain and simple - miracle whip type salad dressing, mustard (not too much), salt and pepper. Maybe a little onion powder. Mix it all up in a sturdy plastic bag, then snip off a corner and pipe onto the whites, no messy clean up. Sprinkle with paprika or your favorite herbs.

Found my eggs on the internet, MsMadge. Cyber eggs.

Stopping by your favorite store, they come prepared now, very nice party trays.

Luckylu makes deviled eggs though. She told me, but did not share the recipe.
