  1. zobar on kara’s “Ancestry.com?” You may also want to try the Mormons http://familysearch.org as long as you don't mind them baptizing your dead relatives. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptism_for_the_dead#Genealogy_and_baptism If that blows your mind, remember that your …
  2. jenks on kara’s “Kara's Ridiculously Easy Rainbow Salad” that reminds me- did you ever try those dog biscuits? Did they work?
  3. kara on kara’s “Rachael Sings?” e:uncutsaniflush - thank you for clarifying that!
  4. jenks on kara’s “Rachael Sings?” mmm spritz are my favorite. So easy, but they look (and taste) so good! I make some with orange peel in them. And kara I saw a recipe for dog biscuits somewhere- seemed really easy, contained canned pumpkin. Actually sounded tasty. I can l…
  5. theecarey on kara’s “Rachael Sings?” hehe, I plan on making Kara Kanes(c) again this year too! Although I plan to aim smaller- some of my "kanes" hit 7 inches. If I come up with any interesting cookie recipes, I will certainly share. However, I am usually looking to other peo…
  6. uncutsaniflush on kara’s “Rachael Sings?” Rachael Ray doesn't actually sing on the album. It is a collection of her supposed favorite Christmas songs by Billie Holiday,Elvis, Buster Pointdexter, Doris Day, Gato Babieri, and others.
  7. joshua on kara’s “Rachael Sings?” I'll break out my grandma's spritz cookie recipe when I finally receive it. I've been trying to get her recipes from her since she basically doesn't cook much anymore... especially the Swedish recipes and my great-grandmother's recipe book…
  8. museumchick on kara’s “Holiday ideas” I think book or coffee certificates work well for many people as gifts. Maybe for your grandparents you could frame them a photo of your family? Or put together some kind of scrapbook of your memories with them? I'm always stumped what to …
  9. kara on kara’s “Pills Limbaugh” e:terry - you asked "Should MJF's demeanor really influence our decision on the facts of the situation?" I say absolutely. Not everyone has had someone in their family or circle of friends with a progressive, debilitating and ultimately te…
  10. ajay on kara’s “Pills Limbaugh” I didn't see the GooTube segment, but I can only laugh when Rush, of all the people, criticizes anybody. That crackhead lardass is a lesser man than the dirt on MJF's shoes.
  11. terry on kara’s “Pills Limbaugh” We actually saw the Katie Couric show tomight with the MJF interview. The gist, imho, was that he takes medication which helps him not to shake (among, I'm sure, other things). The medication's effects depend upon the amount in his system …
  12. chico on kara’s “Damage Control” Or, if you can afford it, a generator. Good ideas, though, e:kara.
  13. vycious on kara’s “e:strip giveaway” you still have it?
  14. mrmike on kara’s “Mr. Mike!” Just doin my job, ma'am :::tips hat::::::
  15. jenks on kara’s “e:strip giveaway” wow... I can't believe you got no takers on this. I already have that game, or else I'd be down...
  16. chico on kara’s “This is just wrong” Oh dear god. No self-respecting man can watch that entire video clip.
  17. joshua on kara’s “Kara's Perfect Pasta Salad” This is great! I needed a pasta salad recipe, actually. Happy 100th post - Josh
  18. jenks on kara’s “Miss August?” She's a springer, right? Almost looks a little Brittany in that pic. Cute, fo sho, but she ain't got nothin' on my bulldogs. bahaha! ;)
  19. jenks on kara’s “Purple food” carolinian you should have run with it- you could be rich. Since, sadly, the "rainbow diet" is now a real thing. Eat foods of every color every day and you'll lose weight! I guess veggies are what have color and eating them is good... but …
  20. carolinian on kara’s “Purple food” Right around the time the Atkins diet was really popular, a friend and I came up with our own fad diet that would sweep the world: The Purple Diet. This diet would be quite simple--you only eat foods that are purple and avoid everything el…
  21. joshua on kara’s “Snakes on a Plane” This is completely a marketing setup scheme designed to collect phone numbers and e-mail addresses. While its cool and all, I wouldn't be giving away my own number and addy, let alone my unknowing buddy.
  22. jenks on kara’s “Snakes on a Plane” omg that's awesome.
  23. olemanrunin on kara’s “Snakes on a Plane” Oh no! I sent a couple of phone messages. What a riot!
  24. vincent on kara’s “Financial Planning” I was with Morgan Stanley a few years back, they wern't too bad just rubbed me the wrong way. Although they did give me a bunch of winners through the years (JP Penny back when it was in the low 20's. If i was going with some advisor right…
  25. olemanrunin on kara’s “Financial Planning” The Only Proven Road to Investment Success: Everyone's Simple Guide to a Safe Trip (Hardcover) by Chandan Sengupta Amazon.com More Buying Choices 24 used & new from $3.95 A GREAT INVESTMENT GUIDE, February 11, 2004 Reviewer: A reader I've …
  26. jenks on kara’s “For jenks” aww. Thanks. hopefully I'll be able to change my pic back one of these days. I had to draw that one (obviously) since all the pix I have of myself are so damn smily!
  27. ladycroft on kara’s “The S.S. Muffin” ooh, i love allrecipes.com!
  28. chicoschica on kara’s “The S.S. Muffin” kara - I totally feel your pain. We don't have a window in our oven either and it's horrible. I know a watched pot never boils (or bakes), but it's really hard to keep from peeking. The SS Muffin sounds pretty damn good to me. That's a cru…
  29. kara on kara’s “Buy our Boat” Before you get into sailing, here's a little advice that J told me to remember as one makes the decision to buy a sailboat: Go into the bathroom with several handfuls of $20 bills. Stand in the shower, fully clothed. Turn the shower on, an…
  30. paul on kara’s “Buy our Boat” I want to buy your boat so bad. Unfortunately, the mansion is eating all of my money. How much are you selling it for?

  1. kara on paul’s “Tossed aside like trash” Hi Paul - I tried to email you about an opportunity to speak locally about how awesome you are (seriously). It hasn't been delivered in two days and I'm bummed. Could you email me with the best way to contact you? karamariek@gmail.com
  2. kara on paul’s “The New Refrigerator” Shiny appliances are beautiful.
  3. kara on paul’s “So much for the parking guard” Have you thought about posting a sign warning people that you're taking down their license plate numbers or something? What about putting some (heavy, weighted with stones) garbage cans in the driveway? Inconsiderate people like that are o…
  4. kara on zobar’s “london, part 2: london is weird” When I was in Ireland, I had black pudding everyday for breakfast. It's no scarier than eating something as unwholesome and unnatural as a Twinkie.
  5. kara on zobar’s “crazy busy!” Not to be nitpicky - is Membler a typo?
  6. kara on paul’s “Baby Fern” Cute overload.
  7. kara on jenks’s “more pix” I want those shoes. Where did you find them?
  8. kara on jenks’s “photo dump” Was the dog crying, or the owner?
  9. kara on joshua’s “My new trail mix” peanut butter chips, dried mango, craisins, cashews, popcorn, walnuts
  10. kara on joshua’s “Software Question” I"ve heard good things about primopdf too: http://www.primopdf.com/
  11. kara on paul’s “My House” I love weggie's gelato. They'll give you two flavors in one bowl if you ask nicely - chocolate + butter pecan = yummy.
  12. kara on zobar’s “early adopters?” I'm trying it out. It'll be competing with pandora.com though.
  13. kara on mrmike’s “Roadrunner Redux” I loved their voicemail/automessage - it basically said, we know there are problems, if you restart everything, it might work! If so, you can hang up! Thanks for playing. Our wireless router is messed up but i can connect t hrough the ethe…
  14. kara on hodown’s “Weekend Fun” Those dishes look like something out of Iron Chef, and I love Iron Chef!
  15. kara on hodown’s “Mea Culpa” You are one lucky lady - I'm jealous!
  16. kara on lilho’s “alanis covers fergie's "my humps"” brilliant.
  17. kara on jenks’s “Alice: 12/10/95 - 3/4/07” Pets should live forever. I still get sad when I think about a dog I had who passed away over two years ago. So sorry, e:jenks.
  18. kara on news’s “Artvoice Best Of Buffalo Contest” I also voted for Paul as best local blogger. Because he's awesome. Go Paul!
  19. kara on knife’s “snow ninja!” You may find these interesting: http://youtube.com/results?search_query=ask+a+ninja&search=Search Ask a Ninja!
  20. kara on hodown’s “Dinner Deliciousness” Post the recipe!!
  21. kara on paul’s “Print Designer != Web Designer” As usual, e:paul is absolutely correct.
  22. kara on paul’s “Trip To Wegmans” Oh how I love Weggies.
  23. kara on paul’s “Ninendo Wii And Opera” Whenever I see "Wii," I think of this video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2964751562925463883
  24. kara on jenks’s “creepy calls” We got a call tonight from someone (sounded like a young teenager) asking if we had any nintendo DS's left. Video games rot your brain. I felt like telling him to go buy a book instead.
  25. kara on kara’s “Rachael Sings?” e:uncutsaniflush - thank you for clarifying that!
  26. kara on joshua’s “Buffalo News protects another Democrat” I will direct you to the IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Association) rankings of congressional members based on their support of veterans' issues, including benefits and healthcare. http://iava.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=vi…
  27. kara on paul’s “When You Are Going To San Francisco” bon voyage!
  28. kara on joshua’s “WTF.” When taking into account our actual debt, that "surplus" is really nothing :(
  29. kara on kara’s “Pills Limbaugh” e:terry - you asked "Should MJF's demeanor really influence our decision on the facts of the situation?" I say absolutely. Not everyone has had someone in their family or circle of friends with a progressive, debilitating and ultimately te…
  30. kara on zobar’s “ghost stories from the fridge” We make our own yogurt. On one of the small containers we use, the top is stuck on, but it obviously let a little air into it. Now it's filled with a blue-green mass that, at some point, will take on a life of its own. Dairy does nasty thi…
