Air Pop Popcorn!

Apparently,  most of you REALLY LIKE FOOD. So, for those that REALLY LIKE FOOD this one is for you! :D
Last night I went to the movies and saw The Hobbit with my family. I think it was fabulous movie, but my sibling says that there was a few parts added here and there that really weren't there in the first place. My sibling also said "Quit poking me every five seconds asking me if this was in the book or not!" Touchy!
Anyways, I got home and had a craving for popcorn. Not the day old stuff from the theatre (I only know this because I worked there for a summer) but really good scrumptious popcorn!
So, here is the following recipe for the best popcorn for the microwave without all the added junk in it.

Directions:
1. Get a brown paper bag.
2. Pour 1/4 cup off unpopped popcorn kernels into it.
3. Roll the bag over twice
4. Place in microwave for 2 minutes
* If the popping is finished before the 2 minutes TAKE OUT before it burns!
5. Pour into a large bowl and enjoy!

If you would like to add butter, or salt, the best time to do so is when the popcorn is warm!

Enjoy!

Middle School by James Patterson

A really, unexpected plan that no one will ever expect out of good old Rafe.  And who better to start him off in this amazing plan than his best friend Silent Leo?  Leo has decided that it’s time for Rafe to step it up and pull off the most amazing adventures in school… wait, is that even possible?

Characters: Rafe, Leo, Rafe’s mother and sister and the school teachers

Setting: Rafe’s middle school

Plot: Rafe has decided to start of middle school the right way, the unexpected way, by being someone completely different.  He had decided to do something that has never been done before… break all of the rules to his middle school. And how is he going to do that?  Armed with the school book of rules and the comics of his best friend Leo, what could possibly go wrong?

Recipts Warning

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR RECEIPTS - THIS IS IMPORTANT

 

 

W ITH THE CHRISTMAS SEASON COMING UP THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG!!!!!

CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING   ANY   CASHIER'S STATION!!!!!

THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE.

It happened at Wal-Mart (Supercenter Store #1279),

10411 N Freeway 45, Houston, TX 77037 a month ago.

I bought a bunch of stuff, over $150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of $40. I told her I didn't   request a cash back & to delete it.

She said I'd have to take the $40   because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a supervisor.

Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it! I said NO! Taking the $40 would be a cash advance against my Discover & I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order.

So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything!

The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it.  

The total came out right. The cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be defective. (yeah, right!)

Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad wasn't defective because she NEVER offered me the $40 at the beginning.  

Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?

Just to alert everyone. My coworker went to Milford , DE Wal-Mart last week.  

She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt.  

She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her.

My coworker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for $20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!

My coworker called Wal-Mart who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece   told her This is a new scam.   The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in line.

Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!  

This is NOT limited to Wal-Mart, although they are the largest retailer so they have the most incidents.

I am adding to this....My husband and I were in Wal-Mart North Salisbury and paying with a credit card. When my husband went to sign the credit card signer, he just happened to notice there was a $20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she canceled it.

We didn't think anything of it until we read this message that has been going around.

I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????

THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!

BEFORE LEAVING THE CASHIER'S STATION!!!!!

CHECK YOUR RECEIPT

BEFORE LEAVING THE STAND. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT. NOW I'LL START!

PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS, KIDS, LOVED ONES

Whoops

I've slowly been giving away all my treasures
Small knick knacks and half hearted attempts
And things that needed a prayer
Pictures are Saved
Momentos are too
Pretty soon I realize
I'm right back where I started!

American Horror Fans?

  You will love this! Enjoy! ☺

Dominique, nique, nique, over the land he plods
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
At a time when Johnny Lackland
Over England was the King
Dominique was in the backland
Fighting sin like anything
Now a heretic, one day
Among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominique with just one prayer
Made him hear the good Lord's call
Without horse or fancy wagon
He crossed Europe up and down
Poverty was his companion
As he walked from town to town
To bring back the straying liars
And the lost sheep to the fold
He brought forth the Preaching Friars
Heaven's soldier's, brave and bold
One day, in the budding Order
There was nothing left to eat
Suddenly two angels walked in
With a loaf of bread and meat
Dominique once, in his slumber
Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over Frairs without number
Preaching all around the world
Grant us now, oh Dominique
The grace of love and simple mirth
That we all may help to quicken
Godly life and truth on earth

Italian Meatballs

Who doesn't love a meat ball sub? I can't think of anyone! Well, I know that I have posted how to make a mean meatball sandwich, but how about Italian meatballs? *Nom*

If you would like to make just plain meatballs, check out this link .... and enjoy!
http://helpimalmostanadult.blogspot.com/2012/04/meatball-grinders.html .

I would post a picture of the Italian Meatballs, but my internet connection is being a bit suckish, so you'll just have to make do by making them yourself! ☺

Ingrediants:
14 oz of Chili Sauce
12 oz of Jellied Cranberry Sauce
1 bag of Italian Meatballs
1 bag of Rolls
Shredded Cheese (Your choice!)

Directions:

- Combine the Chili Sauce and the Jellied Cranberry Sauce in a large pot on low heat. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the mixture is pretty much lump-less.
- Add in the meatballs. If you meatballs are frozen, it might be a good idea to put them in the microwave for about a minute or so just to melt off the ice. If you didn't no problem, they'll cook the same in the pot.
- Let everything simmer for another 10 minutes, Do Not Boil.
- Remove from the pot and serve! Not bad right?

Best served with vegetables. Enjoy! ☺

Hmm... I'm actually thinking of making this for my date next week... Think he'll like it?

The End

The END is coming my dear Zachary
Of this I knew
And you did too
That you are history

Our occassional little hidey - holes
And endless wars
And locked doors
Makes me wonder if you had moles

What if she really was your spy
Hiding as a friend
An ear to you she'd lend
And then to my face you would lie

You are a despicable fellow
With perfect  hair
And not a single care
Even when it was dyed yellow

Our relationship today must die
You need to leave now
Before I actually have a cow
Have you ever heard me, to you, lie?

This relationship really was the pits
You never respected me
That was plain to see
Last minute gifts? Really are the s****!

I've tossed the stuffed toys and the jewelry too
Actually, those I gave to my neighbor,
Someday she'll owe me a favor
That fake rose? Oh that, I lost in the loo

I'm not really this mean as you already know
But you cheated on me
You disgusting flea
But now it is time for you to just GO!

Oh and Zachary? That's not really your name
But before I tell your mom and dad
How you're really not that smart of a lad
Let me just tell you better be doing the walk of shame!
