golden87 Hi, I actually hate sleep overs. I feel it gives the kids an excuse to act silly and obnoxious. They stay up way too late, and they are loud, rude and inconsiderate. Then the next day they are useless because they are tired and crabby. My rule is 2 sleep overs...

golden87 Sounds yummy. I'll try your recipe. I try to use my crockpot at least once per week. I love it. Sometimes if I am low on time, I'll even use the Stouffer's crockpot meals in a bag. They are pretty good.

Zebrochka @Zebrochka (333) • Brazil 3 Feb 07

Dear all, have you noticed that most of the people don't rate the replies that they get in their discussions? And most probably that rating would give more points to the ones who reply, right? Sometimes it is difficult to rate...
