Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

SOFTEN:
  • Lumpy brown or white sugar:  Heat in microwave with a cup of boiling water. 
  • Cream cheese:  Remove foil; heat 8-ounce package 2 minutes on LOW.
  • Butter or Margarine:  Remove foil; heat 1 stick for 1 minutes on LOW.
  • Raisins in hot water:  Heat 2 to 3 minutes on HIGH: let stand 2 minutes.
  • Acorn squash:  Cook 1½ minutes on HIGH to cut in half easier.
  • Citrus fruit:  Heat 15 to 20 seconds before squeezing to get more juice.
  • Honey that has sugared.
  • Almond bark:  Heat 1 pound for 2 minutes on MEDIUM; stir, then cook 30 to 60 seconds more, stirring.
  • Chocolate:  Heat 1-ounce square for 2 to 3 minutes on LOW.
 
THAW:
  • Whipped topping, small carton:  Heat 1 minute on LOW.  (Center should still be slightly firm but will blend in.)  Don't overheat!
  • Frozen orange juice:  Remove top metal lid; heat 6-ounce can 30 seconds; 12-ounce can 45 seconds on HIGH.
  • To toast coconut:  Spread ½ cup in pie plate; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds after 2 minutes.  Watch closely, as it browns quickly once it starts turning brown.
  • One cup herbs on a paper towel will dry in about 4 minutes.  Crush and store in airtight container.
  • When warming rolls, place a cup of water in a corner of the microwave.
  • Scald milk 2 minutes per cup, stirring once each minute.
  • Heat water directly in teapot for tea.
  • Don't use recycled paper products in microwave; they might ignite.
  • Use a round dish instead of a square one to assure even cooking.
  • Cook meat loaf in a ring.  Place custard cup upside down in center and grease will come up into glass.
  • Bake potatoes quicker in a ring mold, covered.
  • T.V. dinners can be heated in microwave by popping out frozen portions and heating them separately.
  • To thaw ½ package frozen vegetables, wrap foil on portion not to be thawed.  Heat, removing thawed portion.
  • To shorten cooking time for soups, precook vegetables in microwave.
  • Do not salt meats and vegetables on the surface before cooking.
  • When baking cakes, fill only half full; place a juice glass in center of baking dish to prevent soggy middle; place cake dish on another dish or rack for bottom of cake to bake quicker.  Square cakes need foil on corners; remove during final baking.
  • For raising bread dough:  Put dough in proper container, cover with plastic wrap and damp cloth.  Heat on lowest power for 2 to 3 minutes.  May repeat.  Leave bread in microwave to rise.
