    Two of my usual browsers (Edge and Firefox) no longer connect to the MFP community. Anybody having similar issues? I'm on Opera just now. That works, but I don't want to have to switch browsers!

    I use Chrome and it's OK.

    Do any of you play Pogo Scrabble online? I am addicted to that game.

    Carol in GA

    I haven’t played that one. My top three addictive games are Candy Crush, Pet Rescue, and Words with Friends. Words with Friends is also a scrabble type game.

    the painkiller they gave him made him, well, psycho! Tramadol

    When I had the measles 18 months ago, I was so incredibly itchy and prickly/crawly that I couldn't wear clothes or lie down or sit down. Nothing could touch me, or it would set me off. I even had to wind my hip-length hair on top of my head. It was winter, but I turned on the air conditioning so the house was absolutely freezing and paced up and down and up and down the living room all night long because that was the only way I could get any comfort at all.

    When morning came, my husband took me back to the Dr (again!) ... and yes, I did put on clothes for that ... and the Dr put me on Tramadol and a super-strong allergy medication. That combination put me to sleep, and I pretty much slept for the next 3 days.

    But I did hear that a person's reaction to Tramadol can vary ... and maybe the allergy medication helped me too because its main side effect was sleep.

    Did an hour of Prevention Belly Butt and Thigh DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do the Beach Pilates Abs, Bun & Thigh DVD.

    Vince got up early to go to the gun show here. Right now I'm trying making this zebra cake. We shall see how it turns out. I would like to go up to Jess' for her birthday, but I have a feeling that Vince doesn't want to, he's hesitating too much. Her birthday is Thursday but she's always asking us to come up there. And since she'll be in St. Kitts for 2 years I thought it would be nice to go up. Plus...I may be able to go to the ceramics place. That's not a real big thing, tho

    Lanette - our development is so dark it isn't funny. But when you get to our house..... Wow! What a jean surprise, congrats

    M - congrats to you on that loss

    Becca - it's good that Lee isn't pushing the pump for pain meds. I remember when I had a hemmerhoidectomy the MD prescribed pain pills for me. I never took them but Vince kept asking me "did you take anything". It got to the point that I was afraid I was hurting myself by not taking them. I called the nurse and she told me that if I can get away with not taking them, that's great. They tend to make you constipated. Not something you want with a hemmerhoidectomy. I remeber I was taking something (mineral spirits?) to keep me loose.

    Penny - I use Chrome to get ito MFP and don't have any problem

    Went to see the Hobbit last night and I was a bit disappointed. I thought it would be longer. They had kids as the (I think it was ) gremlins and Vince couldn't understand why they used kids.

    Two of the layers of the cake just came out of the oven. I'm also trying using these fabric strips around the cake so it doesn't rise in the center. It didn't. Has anyone else ever used them?

    Someone at bowling the other night mentioned that she thought I'd enjoy pickleball. I probably would, just not sure where I can fit it in the schedule....lol

    It looks like the zebra cake came out decent. I guess we shall see when Vince cuts it open. I'm in the process of decorating it right now. Actually, I'm making a pork applesauce roast and that's in the oven.

    Have a question for any baker of cakes (Heather?). One of the layers didn't bake thru. I should have tested it when it first came out of the oven, but I didn't. Can you put that layer back in the oven and will it bake? I have it in the oven right now, just hoping that it'll bake. I'm going to try making a shell border on the bottom. But I think I'll make the icing stiffer than when that instructor told me to. When she kept wanting me to buy that nasty Wilton icing, Vince says that I should have told her that I brough home a cake with both my icing and the Wilton stuff and both my husband and daughter liked mine better (well, they did)

    Katie - I've heard so many people say that they like to play Words with Friends. I tried to figure it out and I couldn't!

    Becca - you pay $2 for soap????? We have so many bars, Vince can't get over it. I buy it when it's on sale and I have a coupon that they'll double.

    Baked that layer. It's still indented in the middle but when I tested it with a toothpick, the toothpick came out clean. The bad thing is that I took the parchment paper off, forgot to put it back on, and some of the cake stuck to the bottom. Don't know why these cake pans make the cake come out more crumbly on the sides. Could it be those things that you put on to keep it from doming (Heather???)

    Next I need to steam asparagus and then make the appetizer to take to Rummikub Tuesday.
