I recently began thinking about my job and what I learned from my brief career as a fast food cashier. http://www.macon.com/139/story/542120.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/542120.html Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:02 EST Holiday stress is the fact. That romanticized version of holiday fun and fuzzy frolic is the fantasy. You know your family isn’t a Hallmark Card. But the truth is, no one’s is. http://www.macon.com/139/story/542135.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/542135.html Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:02 EST SEATTLE — The University of Washington has been awarded a five-year, $4.5 million grant to research specific challenges related to aging with a disability. http://www.macon.com/139/story/540398.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/540398.html Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:27 EST We are at the beginning of Advent. Advent is a term derived from the Latin word “adventus,” which means “arrival.” It is a time of waiting for the arrival of Christmas. During Advent we look with anticipation and celebration toward the Christ event when Jesus came to Earth as a baby in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago. http://www.macon.com/139/story/540399.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/540399.html Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:27 EST QUESTION: It seems to me that children are far too familiar — too informal — with adults today. When I was a kid, we always addressed grown-ups by “Mr.” or “Mrs.” Or if they were in the family, we called them “uncle” or “aunt,” or “Grandpa” or “Grandma”. We would never have referred to an adult as Sam or Alice. But today’s parents don’t teach that courtesy to their children. Some of them introduce 4-year-olds to adults by their first names. http://www.macon.com/139/story/540405.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/540405.html Fri, 28 Nov 2008 22:42 EST These reader questions were answered at the 2008 West Indies Veterinary Conference Nov. 9-14, hosted by Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. Ross graduates are eligible to practice veterinary medicine in all 50 states, 10 provinces of Canada and Puerto Rico upon completion of the requisite licensing requirements (which include a final year at one of the over 20 stateside vet schools that partner with Ross). http://www.macon.com/139/story/539288.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/539288.html Thu, 27 Nov 2008 23:34 EST You judge restaurants for what they are. http://www.macon.com/139/story/538680.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/538680.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:37 EST The Centerpiece. The words weigh heavily this time of year. For months you can go without thinking about The Centerpiece or worrying about The Centerpiece but, come the holidays, The Centerpiece becomes important. http://www.macon.com/139/story/538674.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/538674.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:37 EST You may have heard the term “black gold” in your lifetime. While it is most often associated with oil, gardeners worth their salt will associate the phrase with compost. Compost is that dark, crumbly, organic material that is often a prerequisite for the green thumb. http://www.macon.com/139/story/538673.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/538673.html Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:37 EST ‘Can you please help me load all of this into the car?” Mother would ask. There, in the kitchen of our home, was a whole collection of tried-and-true recipes sealed with everything from clear plastic wrap to shiny tin foil to colorful lids on Tupperware. Each of the scents slightly escaped from their confinements to tease our noses and make our mouths water. http://www.macon.com/139/story/538672.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/538672.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:36 EST As we gather together with friends and family today, we reflect on the things we are thankful for. This week I am thankful that my family has continued its annual tradition of syrup making. Through the years this has been an event that has drawn family and friends together. As times change, this is also a time that we can relive our agricultural heritage http://www.macon.com/139/story/538675.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/538675.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:40 EST QUESTION: When I turn on the hot water in my bathroom sink, the water comes out in spurts. I also feel knocking and shaking in the hot-water pipes in the basement. What’s wrong? http://www.macon.com/139/story/537413.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/537413.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:36 EST In today’s economy, people are looking for ways to cut corners. That includes food costs, and Thanksgiving is no exception. http://www.macon.com/139/story/537415.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/537415.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:29 EST QUESTION: I am looking for a Cranberry Fluff dessert recipe. I believe it had a graham cracker crust. I first saw the recipe in a Women’s Circle Home Cooking magazine from the late 1970s or early 1980s. It would be nice to have for Thanksgiving and Christmas. http://www.macon.com/139/story/537412.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/537412.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:30 EST The key to choosing the right wine or wines to serve at Thanksgiving is to not only select something you like but also bottles you think everyone at the table will enjoy. http://www.macon.com/139/story/537416.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/537416.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:31 EST Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it fills me with memories. I remember that as a child there would be hustle and bustle in the kitchen at least three or four days before the feast. http://www.macon.com/139/story/537417.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/537417.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:31 EST Pot pies can put leftover turkey to good use, but they’re often packed with extra calories and fat grams. http://www.macon.com/139/story/537411.html http://www.macon.com/139/story/537411.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:35 EST FRUGAL RECIPES
