Re: MfpI goofed big time. I did a cooking show to benefit a little boy who is very ill (to help his family with expenses). I set it up on the 8th, held it on the 13th, closed it today. I plan to donate my commission to the family, as opposed to a traditional fundraiser. It wasn't until I...

Sheila, I know you'll probably be on the west coast, but if you end up in NE Florida, just holler. :)

I just logged on to get this information, too...thank you so much for posting it!!!

Not sure which service you subscribed to previously, but I use Tasty Tidbits (Joy is on CS, too) and I've really enjoyed it...and I always get nice comments from my customers, too. :)

It's on RIGHT NOW. They just touched on the story of her Pampered Chef business.

I recently donated an item for a drawing to benefit the American Cancer Society. I donated the small bowl caddy with a pair of small bowls, and then made a gift certificate good for 20% off the winner's next order (basically my commission). We'll see if it gets any attention from the winner. :)

I'm jealous, but won't be for long...my folks are taking the kids for a sleepover on Saturday evening so that DH and I can go to a local ribs festival here in town and hear some live music. We haven't been able to go to this festival in years, so we're so looking forward to our date night, too...

The best news so far...today it was announced that her heart is operating at 100% capacity, instead of the 50% capacity it had been at since last Tuesday. I went to visit her in the hospital tonight for the first time. She still has a good fight ahead of her, but I really am amazed at the...

I think if the host is good with that many recipes, it's not a problem. Usually my hosts know their guests well enough to know how much time to spend on recipes, or if we should keep the show short and sweet. I usually base my recipe selection(s) on what the host has in mind, and I've...

It's MONDAY, and while I ordinarily don't like Mondays, I'm LOVING this one. I woke up and logged in to get the latest Facebook update, and my friend's husband posted that she was well enough to be taken off the breathing machines this morning!!! They removed the tubes, which will make her...

Last update for today from her husband: 9:56pm UPDATE It's been long day of tests. She is sleeping peacefully. Finally went out with the family for dinner. Good to see the world outside the hospital. Light day of tests tomorrow. Still looking for improvement with the lungs and heart. Looking...

Newest update from her husband: 4:13PM UPDATE The doctor looked at the CT from this morning next the CT from 2 days ago. The swelling is starting to come down in her brain. This will improve her motor skills as the swelling comes down. They started a new treatment for her heart this morning. We...

Two new updates from my friend's husband 10:33AM UPDATE They successfully drained the fluids from her lungs. This could be a daily thing. She is off for a CT scan of the brain. The heart remains the primary concern. They are trying a new med to get the heart going. Time is our biggest friend...

It's been an interesting day! They did a cranium angiogram and found that there's no other issues in her brain at this point. The two blood clots they removed Tuesday night appeared to be the only ones after all. Her heart is still at 50% capacity, which is not great...but the good news is...

Hello again everyone! Still in the midst of the three-day wait to see what her recovery chances are, but the good news is that the fever from the pneumonia has lessened. The doctors are still very concerned about her heart though, so prayers are still needed. We've also created a group on...
