How about this - Meredith Baxter (fka Meredith Baxter Birney), who played the mom on "Family Ties" came out on the Today show today.

I'm so surprised you kids arent talking about Grady Sizemore!  I mean the boy was naked!  However, I must say Grady, if you're going to take nudies, lower the toilet bowl seat and clean up the damn bathroom!  Who, other than ProkNo5 or Atlas, wants to see you in your gray undies if there is toothpastes spray on the mirror?! If you're going to show your whole body, do it the right way.  If your "bat" can be covered up with coffee cup, your girl might want to upgrade or need toys.  What a shame.  Poor girl.

 

I say go all out nude or nothing.  Why the poorly planned "teased" photos.  Do it right damn it!

I haven't seen the photos myself but I was talking to my friend about it and he said most of the pictures looked like they were taken in a hotel room. He felt vindicated because when he travels he gets his coffee in the lobby and refuses to use any of the mugs/glasses in the hotel room because you never know which professional athlete has been hiding his bat in there.

They were in his bathroom.  The toothbrush spray on the mirror and the master closet behind him tell me it was in his house.  I saw all nine pictures.  Grady need a lil help with his sex swagger!  I'm so not a size queen, I'm not interested with whats up front, but if you're going to grab your bat, at least have a major league bat, not one from Little League.  But I have to say, he does have a cute culo.

 

Grady call Tiger......Well Tiger needs to call someone to get help on his playa game.  You dont leave messages Tiger.  It's obvious you're not a playa.  Stick to golf boo!

Well I am still not using any cup or mug in a hotel room that isn't wrapped in plastic, and those little paper discs that they put on the top of the glasses don't count.

 

MTS, where have you been? it looks like you got caught up on UO this morning though.

Honey you should never use anything in a hotel room that isn't wrapped.  If you have an issue, make the service request for you to get glasses or go down to the bar/restaurant and get them.

 

My family went to LA for Thanksgiving.  Then more family members showed up.  It was a hot mess.

... and I feel vindicated about staying in cheap motels (mostly Super 8 ) because (1) Disposable cups in sealed bags and (2) It's pretty unlikely I'll run into any professional athletes (or other uppity folks) there.

this is too funny

I miss those days when there were so many skyscraper proposals and we would all just make fun of them. Remember the Jenga tower in Louisville (The Museum Plaza)? It was insane how popular that thread was.

I made coquito.  My grandfather made about 10 batches "special blend" last weekend and it was so good.  I haven't had one in three days, had a lil craving for one and since.

 

I rarely drink, I thought I would experiment. 

 

I think I put in a bit to much rum.  It would taste better if I had some Don Q!

 

:drunk:

I wish I had money for rum. I haven't hung out with The Captain in a long time  :-o

 

Don Q sounds bland. Light rum usually has less flavor and is only good for mixing. I prefer amber and spice rum but I still end up mixing it with coke.

Don Q is the best rum in PR. It far outsells Bacardi and Palo Viejo.

I didn't know about coquito, so I just looked up a recipe. It sounds wonderful for the upcoming Christmas Holidays.

 

Likewise Don Q. I'll have to shop around the local liquor stores; usually I buy my rum at the supermarket, and I haven't seen it there. Bacardi Gold has been my choice so far for special times of year, but the rest of the time I buy some cheap-ass stuff labeled "Prestige." Compared with Bacardi it's about half the price, but it's harsh and its aroma reminds me of the smell of an old-time doctor's office - rubbing alcohol. I only drink it mixed with sweet hot chocolate, so it's bearable and it makes good rum more special by comparison on special occasions.

 

Something else I like in cold weather is a mug of Bigelow Constant Comment tea fortified with honey, just a touch of fresh lemon juice, and a shot of Christian Brothers brandy. It's a good warm-up after shoveling snow, and it works great for clearing up congestion and easing cold misery.

Coquito is basically eggnog with PR flare.  But every family has their own special "sauce".  My grand father makes various version it with one with spices, one with chocolate, one with Bacardi 151 & Don Q, one with pineapple and one with maraschino cherry juice.  Although none of us know the exact recipes.  He's been making it for 60 years.  He has one that even my father cant handle that has burboun, rum, whiskey.  It's like a coquito wiskey sour.  One sip and your highly flammable!

 

Just make sure to label it if you're making a non alcoholic version for the kiddies.  You don't want them to accidentally drink the adult version.

 

We had people come to our house and our neighbors were so drunk, luckily they one had to stumble across the driveway.  Then the younger kids accidently drank some.  They thought it was egg nog.

I like the way you think.

I have to admit hard liquors do the trick in this cold weather. 

Where is global warming when you need it.  :(

Snow on everything this morning, and the side streets are slick. The traffic at my bird feeders has picked up markedly. I just refilled them.

 

It's an appropriate time of year to share my hot chocolate recipe. I avoid the commercial hot chocolate mixes because of the chemical non-food additives. I'm not a purist on food because it's difficult enough for me to maintain enough calorie intake to keep my weight from dropping, but I don't seem to tolerate some of the additives very well.

 

I start with a regular-sized (8-ounces or thereabout) mug of strong coffee, leaving a little room for the other ingredients. This week's coffee is Starbucks Sumatra, fresh-ground from whole beans.

 

To that, add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and stir until it's thoroughly dissolved, with no lumps. This isn't a prepared, packaged sweet cocoa mix; it's the stuff you use in baking, and it's not at all sweet by itself. I've tried both Hershey's and Kroger store brand, and I can't tell any difference between them.

 

Next, stir in 2 tablespoons sugar and 3 tablespoons non-fat dry milk solids. Again, I use Kroger store brand with perfectly satisfactory results.

 

Last of all, add rum or brandy to taste. For rum, my choice so far has been Bacardi Gold, and for brandy, Christian Brothers. I add between 1 tablespoon and 1 shot, depending on my druthers at the moment.

 

Sometimes I make up the dry mixture in a batch and store it in a canister for convenience. As above, the proportions are 1 part cocoa powder, 2 parts sugar, and 3 parts non-fat dry milk. Sifting the ingredients together breaks up the lumps that sometimes occur in the cocoa powder, and avoids the forming of lumps when mixing with the coffee. If you do this, start by adding a heaping 1/3 cup of the mixture to the mug before adding the coffee.

 

Mmmm! I'm getting the urge to bake a chocolate layer cake with thick butter-creme frosting!

 

And sugar cookies!

 

And cinnamon-swirl bread with raisins!

 

Gotta get the Christmas cards done first.

Robert, I started forming my response in my head before reading your entire post, but I'll address it anyway!  Mixing the dry ingredients together first will help "wet out" the difficult to dissolve cocoa powder.  The sugar and dry milk will act as surfactants and allow the less soluble cocoa to be easily distributed in the coffee.

 

I think we will have a nice hot chocolate tonight!

Thanks for that info.  I knew it worked better that way but I didn't know why, and I like to know how/why things work.

Ugh, so the doctor gave me some new medication to "figure out" what I have and this new stuff is making my dizzy and nauseous.  I'm getting really sick (haha, literally) of blood tests. 

 

On a good note though, LOTS AN LOTS OF SNOW!!!!!  I LOVE SHOVELING!!!

Someone I got into an argument with on another board (and many other people had the same POV as I did) has stalked me to where he googled various things to try to find out my real name, found it, found my city and found my home phone number, and just called and left me a scary message. 

 

I am so frustrated and mad I cannot tell you. I think I will ask one of my legal colleagues tomorrow if there is a way to force the website's moderators to give me the person's personal information so I can have a lawyer write them a letter.  Hey, we have moderators here, do you guys know?  Can I compel this information based on behavior like this?

Did you answer or was it a voicemail?  Im assuming you dont have caller id or the number was blocked/private.  I would call the phone company, call the police and file a report and ask for a restraining order.

 

Lawd...does this stalker know who he's messin' with? 

mr. RNR answered the phone, they asked for me, but pronounced my first name wrong, so he knew it wasn't someone I knew, thought maybe it was a solicitor or something and asked to take a message.  The person said, "the message is..." and then said something that was re-stating his specific point from the argument on this board.  To use an upthread example, it would be like if I called and said "the message is call the dominant male puppy, I need a guard dog."  Then he hung up.  Mr. RNR conveyed the message to me and I was really confused and had no idea what it was about at first, and kept repeating it and trying to figure out what it meant, and then it hit me. Then I got really mad, now I'm just creeped out.

 

We do not have caller ID, we got rid of all the xtras on our home phone awhile ago to cut costs. 

 

I thought about trying to get the phone company involved, but don't they have to run a trace, and isn't that like $75 (or more), and requires a police report?  And I'm not sure I can get a police report with a relatively benign statement the equivalent of "tell her I need a guard dog."

Is there someone on that board you can report him too?

His IP address is logged on the website.  With that, you can find out his Internet Service Provider. The ISP can match the IP address to the customer's information but you would have to get the police involved becuase the ISP won't give just anybody that kind of personal information.

 

If you have information like his first or last name, date of birth, corporate email address, age, neighborhood, employer, relatives,

previous employers/ organizations, etc. it gets really easy for investigators to narrow a search. If you can find out the number that called you it would probably be a done deal.

 

 

If he found you, maybe you can find him.  We can get a group of UO heavys to pay him a visit!  Better yet, I'll get Uncle Guido to drop in on him!

I did report him to the moderators of the site, I even called the site manager out in California, she called me back and was very nice and I explained the whole thing to her, they are researching and said they'd keep me posted.  I have been posting on this particular site for years.  This person is really new to the site and has very few posts, nothing in their profile, and a nickname that is just a common word so searching the internet wouldn't yield anything, it would be like looking up someone with a nickname "football."  It's unfortunately relatively easy to find my personal information online due to the screenname I use on that site.  And no, it's not my name, suffice to say that I tried to "find" myself after this happened, and with a few short clicks and then a people/number lookup, I found my own telephone number out there.

 

I will call the phone company tomorrow to see what's involved with getting the number, but I imagine it will be costly.  I have zero information on this person other than their screenname.

And yeah, Uncle Guido would be great.  If I find this asshole, send him over, and tell him to bring the garrotte.

Let us know the associated costs.

Simply put, if the Admins of that forum had a brain in their head, they'd readily cooperate with any sort of subpoena - including one demanding information such as IP addresses, etc. I can tell you that if *we* (Admins of UrbanOhio) were in that situation, we wouldn't hesitate to provide the perp's info.

If he found you, maybe you can find him.  We can get a group of UO heavys to pay him a visit!  Better yet, I'll get Uncle Guido to drop in on him!

 

And I'll call my cousin Rico and ask him to sneak back into the country for a "favor"!

lol you guys are nuts

Hey, we took care of your roommate, didn't we?

lol you guys are nuts

 

Honey, I'm dead serious.  My cousin has been "sent" away for a reason.  He's an untrustworthy, misogynistic, homophobic, ignorant jackass who has been a complete embarrassment to our family. [he'll steal the clothes of your back...while you're still in them] However....if you f*ck with his family.......

 

Remember those punks b*tches that I told I would beat them if they sat on my steps again??  Put this way...my steps have never been cleaner.

My family is the same way. Me and my brothers don't get along but we come together when its important. My mom got beat and robbed in Weinland Park the day before thanksgiving. My brothers came from across town and we searched the neighborhood that whole night. I can't talk about what ended up happening though, on a public forum but I can say a lot less people hang out in front of Sammys Carryout and the abandoned crackhouse across the street. Sometimes you can't rely on the police.
