RE: Looking For Recipes Using Dried Beans
Smoochie
I have read and re-read your recipe---am I getting this correct
1. don't pre-soak the beans
2. put two whole heads of garlic, which contain several cloves of garlic, with the skins on in with the beans?
3. what amt. of cooking time does it take?
I do the quick soak--boil 2 min and let set for 1 hr with a lid--then usually put in my pressure cooker---thanx for clarifying Annie ... View related article.

RE: Looking For Good, Inexpensive Internet Service Provider
HOW ABOUT FREE ISP! In the state of Michigan, there is a new FREE dial-up and here is where you go
http://www.dialinfree.net They are wonderful and I haven't had a prob--for the entire state of Michigan

Juno is great---they have a special going rite now for dial-up unlimited--$4.97 for the first three months and then only $9.99 a mo. thereafter. Never had one prob with them. If you go for the special--say I referred you and it would be nice to get some cash from them for a referral
my juno username is theoannie AT juno.com Appreciate it.

I tried peoplepc.com -horrid- The software was so messed up--will never go to them again. OK--most people don't realize this about Callwave but it's there, ya just don't notice it.

CALLWAVE ALERT It's so much cheaper than regular callwave
$17.95 per YEAR! YUP, YEAR plus a one-time fee of $10--that's it. It will still notify you when someone is calling in, but you won't be able to stop and talk to them until you go offline and call them back yourself--but it's soo cheap.l
http://www.buzzme.com used to have a service just like CAllwave---but believe it's now $14.95 per YR. for the same plan I just told you about at CAllwave. Check it out! There are cheaper ways around everything if ya hunt!

One last thing---go to http://www.freedomlist.com
To find cheap, or maybe free ISP's--it's a great list
One other ISP I nearly forgot about--they allowed me to be a test person for it when it was free http://www.dialup.cc.com I think it's .com
It's now only like $4.97 for unlimited and all the time I was a tester, it was awesome and I could always get in.

NONE OF THESE ABOVE REQUIRE SPECIAL SOFTWARE--JUST DO A DIAL-UP FOR THEM IN SETTINGS Annie ... View related article.

RE: Recipes Using Canned Corned Beef
The way my hubby has always done it for years---cut up taters, onions, and cabbage and chunk up the corned beef and put it in with the rest of stuff--season it--we throw it in the pressure cooker--yum--about 15 min. later it is all done and we put it on our plates--mash it and add butter and s&p, and we are "good to go!" Makes me hungry just writing about it!! ... View related article.

RE: How Can Santa Come If I Have No Money?
If a person is having financial probs, they may be on assistance from their state. The FIA agency here in MI has a gift giving big deal for the kids, but I think you need to be letting them know like maybe in Oct. or Nov---check with your local social services,welfare etc office and see. There is always a way to get things for the kids. Call local churches too and see if they have anything going on for disadvantaged kids at christmas time and if you know someone who is in this situation, call for them and get the info--alot of times a person can be so "loaded down" depression-wise, they just can't handle the searching aspect of this to help their kids. Hope this helps. Annie ... View related article.

RE: One Day Only Sale
This is a very novel idea---one you don't hear much of anymore. It's too late for my kids---they are all grown, but boy do I have the grandkids---18, at this point. It's a thought that I might just do something with! Thanks for sharing the idea! Annie ... View related article.

RE: Do Disabilty Checks Need To Be Paid Back After Retirement?
Wow
I am not sure about this ssi disability, but I know what the government did to my friend.
She and her fiancee' were both getting SSI disability--too young for retirement disability---about $1100 together and went to the same address. The day they got legally married, they took most of each of their SSI disabilities--they now have about $430 total for the two of them to live on, because they legally married---what a gov't system that penalizes being married versus living together!
