I'm the fretter in our family. Hubby is Man-of-Action! While I fretted, he pulled out my crafting gun, heated up some glue in it, and viola! Had to ask him which of the two boys I broke! All is well for our little Teddy Bear Trio again! LOL If it doesn't work, I now know a couple of other types of glues to use. Thanks. and whew!

I was in the same situation as you for child number two, and had taken number one into our old family doc for a well-baby checkup and told him I just wasn't snapping back from pregnancy as quickly as I thought I should be. He put me on the table and told me I was six months along. No not obese, in fact not even chubby. He asked couldn't I feel the kicking? No, I thought it was gas. LOL. I don't know how much further along I would have gotten before I noticed. I suspect about month seven, as that is when the belly started. I knew what pregnancy felt like, but I was a first-time postpartum and that I wasn't so sure about. Yes, I have watched that TLC series when I was insomniac and I also know of a couple of local cases when I was working with moms/babies. I think part of my not noticing was that I had gained a lot in pregnancy number one, and was having some personal problems in pregnancy number two and was actually losing weight in that pregnancy, not gaining it. You know how distorted body image can get.

Lol, just wait for your turn Kristi! The first ten or twenty times you go up and back to Orlando, you will be wiped out. By the time the other one gets to Tally and you do that ONCE you will actually look forward to having to go to Orlando! It came out to 920 miles round trip, not couting the driving around Tally. Kate, I am a plant addict...so far I've been through Brugs, Bananas, Palms, Tropicals, Fragrant, Tropical Fruit, Begonias...you name it. My latest obessions are Broms and Hoyas so I know exactly how you feel! Many interests are a good thing with plants :) I only noticed that GW keeps switching my favorite forums cause I use my trade list as my master list, lol. Otherwise I would be totally oblivious (as usual!)

spudmom - I worked at the Twin Dragon restaurant for years. Right behind The Torch. Before it was a "gentlemen's club" (as Cathy do delicately put it. LOL). The opened one up here a few years ago. Lots of beatings and stabbings surrounding that block now. Here's how I make mine, sounds a little denser than the method lilliepad uses: Batter for deep fried chicken or finger steaks 2 egg whites 4 tablespoons cornstarch 4 tablespoons soy sauce Mix well and add chicken strips (boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1" strips) or beef strips (cube steak cut into 1" strips). Set aside. 1 cup of bisquick 2/3 cup of water 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (if using for almond chicken or sweet&sour chicken) Mix well and add to chic or beef mixture. Mix together well (coating all meat) and deep fry until golden. Serve with cocktail sauce or Bloomin' Onion Dip: Bloominâ Onion Dipping Sauce 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 teaspoons ketchup 2 tablespoons cream-style horseradish 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano Dash ground black pepper Dash cayenne pepper
