Miracle Whip Scrubs Scales
Newspaper Columns, Herb & Home Remedy Q&A June 29, 2007

Q. For several months now I have had a problem with a scaly flaky scalp. A friend suggested I try Miracle Whip. I rub it into my scalp and leave it in a couple of hours. It has worked wonders and I now have a flake-free scalp. Any idea why?

A. We checked the ingredients in Miracle Whip. They are: water, soybean oil, vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, modified food starch, egg yolks, salt, mustard flour, artificial color, potassium sorbate, spice, paprika, natural flavor and dried garlic. We can't imagine why any of these compounds would clear the flakes from your scalp but others have praised Miracle Whip as a good hair conditioner.

can anybody suggest a dish that would be really cheap to make?

Corn Cassarole

1/4 cup butter or margerine, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 (8.5 ounce) package dry corn bread mix  (about 80¢)
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained (about 70¢)
1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn (about 70¢)
1 cup sour cream (about $1.30)
salt & pepper to taste
(optional add-ins: canned chili's, chopped onions, shredded cheese, etc)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
In a bowl, combine butter, eggs, corn bread mix, whole & creamed corn, sour cream, salt & pepper & any add-ins. Spoon mixture into prepared dish.
Bake for about an hour in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown.

Peanut butter, pickle, lettuce, and mayonnaise sandwiches. 

Well, I don't know about the PB, pickle & lettuce, but mayo on a nice sub roll is yummy. Just slather it on real think.. wait, make that Miracle Whip - even better. Makes a great breakfast while driving to work.

Moroccan Stuffed Acorn Squash

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 large acorn squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 cup garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 cup raisins
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14 ounce) can chicken or veggie broth
1 cup uncooked couscous

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Put squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, or until tender. Dissolve the sugar in the melted butter. Brush squash with the butter mixture, and keep squash warm while preparing the stuffing.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Stir in the garlic, celery, and carrots, and cook 5 minutes or so. Mix in the garbanzo beans and raisins. Season to taste with cumin, salt, and pepper, and continue to cook and stir until vegetables are tender.

Pour the broth into the skillet, and mix in the couscous. Cover skillet, and turn off heat. Allow couscous to absorb liquid for 5 minutes. Stuff squash halves with the skillet mixture. Reheat if necessary.

While these are good, you stuck them in the current restroom posting thread, some other non-related thread, and now have made a new thread for some reason....

please x-post to postergasm thread!

Well, I was following Cramulus' suggestion to cross post. I removed the one from the 'other non-related thread'... I was on a phone call at that time & wasn't paying full attention when I hit Post. Damn multi-tasking!

I was looking in the PosterGASM thread, but I thought a new one may be more appropriate. Hey, what can I say - I'm still figuring out the disorganizational systems around this place!

Restrooms are great places to mess with peoples heads... they get a good amount of traffic and people are able to notice things without too much outside distraction.

Here's the next one:

Public restrooms are great places to put up stickers. I made a few & ran them out on uncut pressure sensitive label material. They are 5" x 3", so 4 will fit fine on a standard sheet. I keep some in a jacket pocket to put up whenever possible. I'll typically stick them right above the toilet. Here's the first one, which was based on a post by Iptuous in the Restroom Postings thread. See that thread for more ideas...

I like to leave this one in doctors waiting rooms... especially mental health practitioners. Just slip it in with the pamphlets on alcoholism & suicide...

Countless theologians, philosophers, and lay thinkers have been and continue to be obsessed with what is often considered the ultimate question: "Why are we here?"
Alternate forms of the question include, "What is our purpose?", "Why are things the way they are?", and "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

I was just reading from Dr. Hyatt's The Black Book, Vol III Pt. II. The essay On Horns: Man in the World has something interesting to say on this subject.

"Man is born into an indifferent universe which means a universe without supernatural order. This means a world without otherworldly purpose, order. meaning or value."

<scrolling down a bit>

"Man inherently, automatically, involuntarily and continually creates meaning - he is genetically programmed to do so. But man also has the capacity to recognize that such meaning IS his own invention and not reality. Unfortunately, most men can not and will not reconstruct their primal constructions"

Some people do prefer to not have direct hand-to-hand interaction,

Very true! I have a guy here at work who doesn't like to be touched or to touch other people. He won't eat in front of other people, and never uses a pubic restroom, even here at work. He is very aware of 'personal space' and won't get near others unless specifically asked to. Very odd.

Nevertheless, rude people piss me off. Like those who are rude to 'underlings' while being civil to 'equals'.

And especially people who continue to talk on their fvkng Bluetooth headsets while also talking with me. I just want to slap that headset right off  and kick their ass!

You know who I'm talking about.  I'm talking about those sarcastic, obnoxious 14-17 year olds who come to your door, dressed in no costume except the vague and fruitless guise of a misguided Abercrombie and Fitch poser.  Wearing no costume at all, these little punks hold out their pillow case/bag/whatever, NOT SAYING "TRICK OR TREAT," and simply expect you to dump a handful of candy into their already bulging cache of sweets.  Then, they turn around without saying thank you and they walk off.

I pick the green and/or spoiled tomatoes from my garden and reserve them for these kidz. Oh, I don't just dump the tomatoes into their bag, rather I tell them something like "Here you go guys, have some fun, but not around here".  Actually, I'm hoping they'll throw them at the wrong person & get their ass kicked!
