about
I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).
I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.
I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.
I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

We're having a party soon and I need some recipe ideas. Here's what we've already decided to do:
Deviled eggs(made to look like eyes), a meat loaf (made to look like corpse with "bloody"(ketchup) knife going through it), stuffed "jalapenos from hell" (stuffed with a cream cheese, garlic, pimento mixture dyed red), a mexican dip with halloween shaped tortilla chips, a pumpkin shaped and colored cheeseball and crackers, and a bread snake (like a baguette, painted striped with food coloring). Things that could go with these things would be great. We're not little kids, we're in our 20's, so gory but not hoky is good. Oh, but I HATE the cat box idea. Other stuff please! Thank you for helping me out!!!
Hey, You have some great ideas! Sounds like a fun party. Since you don't have a dessert listed, perhaps a graveyard cake would be nice. It's just a regular chocolate cake, glazed with a light coat of chocolate frosting. Build some tombstones by cutting vienna finger cookies in half, you can write RIP on the flat part of the cookie with a frosting pen, embed them into the cake to stand up. Make little dirt piles in front of the stones with crushed oreo cookies. You can also use bare twigs to build haunted looking trees. You can find decorations at the craft store such as ghosts, bats and spiders to add to the cake. Sounds like you are creative so maybe you can come up with other graveyard decorating ideas too.
(Rating: 5) Awesome idea, thanks!
