Netflix


When it became obvious we needed to cut back, the first thing to go was DISH. $94.00 a month for satellite tv was an extravagance even in a working world. With no dish and no digital antennas, our television screens went black.

Thank goodness for Netflix. At $9.99 a month, we had unlimited streaming on two tvs and One movie shipping. Of course, Netflix has since changed its service so we no longer receive any movies by mail. Still, At$7.00 a month, now, the unlimited streaming of movies and TV series has made the lack of live TV relatively painless.

Breakeven



I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no

What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no

What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/s/script-lyrics/breakeven-lyrics.html]
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break
No it don't break, no it don't breakeven, no

What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)

Oh, it don't breakeven, no
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
Oh, it don't breakeven, no

Key Lime Pie

In honor of Job interview in Florida


SNEAKYKITCHEN There is only one real authentic recipe for Key Lime Pie, a long-time staple in Key West, although there's many yummy variations. "Conchs", as Key West residents are known, have made this pie since long before refrigeration. There were no cows in Key West, so canned milk was the only dairy product available, originally brought in by ship, later by Flagler's train, and finally by highway.

Authentic Key Lime pie uses tiny yellow Key limes, which are bursting with juice, have more acid and a stronger lime flavor than large limes. Most Key lime trees have wicked thorns, but thornless ones are available. We had a thornless one for many years, but the Florida Department of Agriculture's Canker eradication just cut ours down, so we will have to make do with Persian limes from the grocery from now on. As for the pie, here's the real thing, and it's yellow like Key limes, never green. It's a very rich pie and a little goes a long way. Use a Graham Cracker Crust for low calories and fat, or a Stir and Roll Pie Crust. Or use My Cheating Pie Crust. For more information, go to A Complete Guide to Key Lime Pie with video instructions. Variations on the theme of Key Lime Pie follow.

Authentic Key Lime Pie

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup Key Lime Juice
1 9-inch baked pie shell

Whisk the egg yolks into the condensed milk. Add the lime juice little by little, stirring until mixture starts to thicken. Scrape into the pie shell and let it chill and set up.

Some people make meringue with the remaining whites and dress the top of the pie. Some people prefer it with whipped cream or whipped topping, definitely a later invention.

Be aware that non-pasteurized eggs, served raw as is the case with this pie, could carry dangerous salmonella germs.

Twin Cities non-profit plays fairy godmother

by Marianne Combs, Minnesota Public Radio
May 4, 2007

Saturday night is prom night for Richfield Senior High School students. Among the young women attending the party will be several who wear dresses they got for free. A local charity is working to take the financial stress out of a teenage rite of passage.

Ever After Gowns is a Minnesota based 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to supporting Twin Cities-area young women by providing them with new and gently used formal gowns, shoes, and accessories to be worn to their high school prom. Our clients receive all the attire and accessories
free of charge.
