Rest in Peace, Lisa Marie Presley. Far too young, 54.

She left children behind. She looks so much like her dad.

I knew Lisa back in the 90s and she was a sweet, soft spoken, lovely lady. I hope her son committing suicide broke her heart and she wasn't another statistic of the covid jab fiasco.

ITRR,

I am not sure exactly what the cause of death was. So sad, though.

Pam, I worked there for a year 2005 -2006. My oldest grandson was born at Frederick in 2005. The drive was terrible. I worked at City 2006-2007. I was taking grad classes at WVU part-time. I moved to Charlottesville, VA and worked at UVA medical school. I worked as a medical transcriptionist the entire time I was getting my grad degrees.

MY DIL is from Shepardstown. My son and DIL lived up on Blue Ridge mountain above the river until she got transferred for work. Her whole family lives in the area. Her brother owns one of the big rafting companies.

Send. golden, glad, ITRR and 97yroldmom: Thank you so much!
Need: Don't really have a favorite cake, but I am a tiramisu lover. No cake today as DD is quite sick. Had to postpone her December 4 and holiday celebrations yet again.
BOJ: DH got me a salmon dinner from Outback. Not busy eating cake.

Need: I've never had chantilly cake. How nice that it's your fav. What is it like?
Edit: Tiramisu can be considered a cake. I made it for DD's '06 bridal shower. Since I was the host, I made it all Italian because my idea started with her fav, which is my stuffed shells and built on that. A cousin said she had never been to a bridal shower like it.

Llama, happy belated birthday!!!

ITRR, the CDC just announced that their system just flagged a possible link between COVID vaccines and strokes in people 65 years and older. A Congressional committee is demanding an investigation. CDC however continues to recommend the vaccines. Pfizer continues to claim no cause and no connection between its vaccines and the strokes and heart attacks and other serious injuries.

I guess more deaths have to happen before they are willing to connect the dots.

Polar Bear dont you find it interesting that no mention of strokes and sudden deaths in those under 65 being investigated? There have been so many celebrities, athletes and young people and children all dropping dead unexpectedly or if strokes and heart attacks. It's criminal how many the vaccine has killed. Especially the children.

Stuffed shells and tiramisu. That's every celebration in my family. That's the Italian side.
We're having stuffed shells tonight for dinner. I made the ricotta last night in fact.
No tiramisu (which is my all-time favorite cake) because I'm dieting.

Sp, yes there have been so many young / younger people who died suddenly, and athletes who died during exercise or games.

What I noticed is that the ads for covid vaccines no longer say "safe and effective", nstead they say the vaccines provide the "best" protection. Well, "best" is very subjective. with little legal implication. Who's going to tell me that I don't make the best carrot cake?

That was just some of the bridal shower. I had lasagne, salads, cake with frosting that DD could consume and a lot more.

Burnt: Delicious sounding!

PB: Thank you so much!

Llama,

Chantilly cake is a white cake with a whipped cream icing and fruit, different berries. It’s very good.

I love tiramisu!

Need, I looked them up when you first mentioned them and it looked delicious.

My sister use to make a strawberry cake that looked the same, there was never any leftovers. Unfortunately, I never got her recipe and I couldn't find anything that made me go, ah that looks like it, until now.

Love, love, love a good tiramisu and a tres leche cake. Oh, and Texas sheet cake and hummingbird cake and, wait, I just like cake:-)

Llama,

I wish you had gotten her recipe!

I find that it is a lighter cake. The icing isn’t super sweet which I don’t like.

I saw the recipe for Texas sheet cake on a few of the food blogs that I read. They look delicious.

Here we go again! Winter Storm Warning, no doubt it will become a blizzard warning before the snow ❄ is to start tomorrow. This time 8-15 inches anticipated. Got advice from the weather team to go to the store as soon as you can, travel will be dicey for a couple of days. Wonder what impact that will have on the National Western Stock Show.😲😲

And my phone is blowing up from the various weather notifications that I get. I should get chili out of the freezer or some Hoppin John.

Ahhh, I used to make a cake filled with fruit and covered with whipped cream. It is the traditional Norwegian birthday cake, very light and delicious - no fat just eggs, sugar, flour. baking powder and water. I'll post the recipe later. You bake it in an angel food tin or in two round layers. Very simple, not too sweet and very delicious. If you are inclined you can sprinkle the layers with a little sherry as well as the juice of the fruit - typically strawberries. I'll have to try it again with non gluten flour. It makes great cupcakes too.

Tiramisu is wonderful!

glad - we just has a decent snowfall but other than that we are doing well. Stay warm!!!!

I filled in a 4 hour shift at the state mental institution today. I was doing intakes from the court. I had a man who killed his mother by running over her with his car. Asked the usual questions. He said he loved his mother and it was an accident. I said why did you back up and hit her again. Without blinking an eye, he said "I had to make sure she was dead." I was at a loss for words. I used to be used to the hospital and nothing surprised me; I've heard kind of thing before.. I'm out of practice, but it was good to go to work today.

My word, Bridget.

That comment would be enough to leave me speechless! Wow, killing his mom.

The only justified reason for killing somebody is self defense.

My friend who is single owns a gun. She continually does target practice. We live in a high crime city.

Every time we turn around in New Orleans there is another murder and carjackings are rampant here.

I told my friend that I was afraid of guns. She told me never to get one then, because a criminal would take the gun away from me and kill me with my own weapon.

She says that she was taught that if you can’t pull the trigger and know how to properly use a gun to protect yourself, then you shouldn’t own one.

I guess that I am a wuss! I don’t know if I could ever kill someone.

Your story reminds me of two elderly women who did volunteer work with the homeless in New York. They lived in a very expensive area.

They were taking advantage of the homeless by pretending to care. They took them into their homes and then took out insurance policies on them and killed them for the money. One of the old women ran over a person with her car. That’s insane!

Can you imagine two old ladies killing off people for the insurance money? Geeeeeez.

Wasn’t there a woman who killed her husband (rolled over him) with her Mercedes Benz for having an affair? I remember hearing about that case too. She made sure that he was dead too!

In my tiramisu, my recipe opted out of using mascarpone cheese and used an alternative. I also made it for a coworker and fortunately the kahlua wasn't noticed for some reason.

I hope everyone has seen the post made yesterday by RealyReal pertaining to the recent death of her dear friend and the hospitalization of her own Mom with a perforated bowel. Things are very touch and go and she is asking for prayers from those who pray. A note of support for her will keep her post at the top of our threads here. I almost missed it as it was buried in the threads.
All take care.
