Do you really think anybody cares? > Pat Well, yeah--lots of us are happy for Siobhan on the completion of building her new home. Look at it this way: It actually has something to do with food and cooking!! Here, have a piece: * Exported from MasterCook Mac * Chocolate Orgasm Recipe By : posted to r.f.c. 11-21-04 by Barb Schaller Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Desserts Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 package Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake Mix 2 packages instant chocolate pudding 1 large tub of Cool Whip 3 Heath or Skor candy bars -- (or 4) Chocolate chips (or shaved chocolate) Kahlua (to taste....<g>..) Prepare cake according to package directions. Allow to cool. When cake is fully cooled, take a fork and pierce cake liberally. Pour Kahlua over top of cake 'a la Julia Child', allowing to soak in (be careful not to drown the cake). Prepare instant pudding according to directions, chill. Chill candy bars. In a trifle bowl, crumble about half of the cake/Kahlua mixture (chunks should be about the size of golf balls, but no larger than tennis balls). Remove 1 (or 2) candy bars from refigerator, and give them several good raps on the counter (to break them up). Sprinkle over cake in trifle bowl. Spoon half of pudding mixture on top of candy bars in trifle bowl, followed by half of the Cool Whip. Repeat with another layer of cake, then candy bar(s), then pudding, and finally Cool Whip. Top with chocolate chips (or, my preference - shaved chocolate). Chill for a few hours (about 4 hours seems right, but it usually doesn't take that long for it to be "noticed" in the fridge). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving (excluding unknown items): 0 Calories; 0g Fat (0% calories from fat); 0g Protein; 0g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 0mg Sodium NOTES : (Patrick Rosenheim), November 1996, r.f.c. _____ -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> Updated 10-22-04; Popovers!.

But make sure you are around to supervise the movers! I had all my boxes labelled for the rooms they should go in. But I had the misfortune of having had to rush my suddenly very ill dog to the vet the morning of moving day. When I got to my new apartment, my phone wasn't working. (Turned out the prior tenants had hard-wired an alarm into the phone system but didn't tell anyone). So I went to the office to use their phone to check on my dog and call the phone company to beg for repair that evening; I was terrified my dog would die. While I was gone, my ever-helpful older brother Paul told the movers just to stack all the remaining boxes in the front bedroom. GRRRRR. Took me *ages* just to find towels, soap and shampoo that night! Of course that box was buried underneath boxes of hardback books. Jill |

That's why I always pack one box with just those very essentials, and hand carry it to the new place. I make sure I have in that box, all the stuff I might want for a few days, til I have unpacked some of the other boxes. I included toilet paper, paper towels, some silverware, a few dishes, a pot and a pan and a few utensils for cooking. I do the same with traveling about. I have one box that has toilet paper, blackout curtains ( I am a night worker), a pot and a pan so that I can cook, and a few other sundries that I know I will want the first day or so. This box comes out first when I get to the new apartment. Christine |

Hired a Paul Arpin company - and the driver hired his own 'helpers'. They moved the trestle in and attached it to the table and then stacked boxes on it unprotected. I too have moved *dozens* of times (you may recall that I was in the Air Force) and this is the second time that I've incurred damages. The first time was almost 4 years ago and it involved chipping a piece of wood from a chair leg. This time though... holy schmolies. It was awful. They seemed confused at simple questions... and obviously made horrible decisions as far as taking care of our items. They weren't even sure if they had any runner carpets to protect the floors... and as previously stated - were too ignorant to know not to stack boxes on a table - much less an unprotected table. Even professionals hire idiots sometimes. Rumor had it that they were relatives... Cyndi |

Rumor had it that they were >relatives... High five, Cindi, as I'm an Air Force brat (and former corporate wife) who has moved more times than I care to recall. We used to have a saying in the AF: Every 4 moves is like a fire (as far as your possesions are concerned). Every move was made with a professional mover and every move had something cherished wrecked or damaged. One exception was a certain dining room table and chairs my parents bought that was blond , ugly, had claw feet on a pedestal, but was Early Marriage Furniture. Every move we made, that table and chairs made it through without a scratch. My parents kept praying that it would be destroyed in one of the moves so they could put in a claim and buy new. For 32 years, that table and chairs made it through in pefect shape. Until they were transferred to Tinker AFB in Okla. City. Dad saw that table come off the truck (again without a scratch), picked it up and threw it across the garage. Said he'd eat off the floor rather than look at that dining room table in his house again. OB food: well, it *was* a dining room table. Terry "Squeaks" Pulliam Burd AAC(F)BV66.0748.CA "If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner." -- Duncan Hines To reply, replace "spaminator" with "cox" |

Every experience I've had with professional moving companies (Atlas, Allied, United) has resulted in serious damage to multiple items, and hundreds of dollars in claims. My guess is that the companies often underbid each other aggressively to get contracts, send out undertrained/underpaid crews that work very fast and sloppy, and just assume that a certain percentage of customers will file big claims. Those expenses are built into their business model. Federal regulations on interstate moving companies have been scaled back in recent years, and consumer horror stories are quite common. This is a nasty industry. ObFood: we gave our moving crew some tasty snacks, and big tips, and they still trashed our stuff. -- Julian Vrieslander |
