congratulations on retiring WW, new chapters are always exciting!
is this close? Ingredients 1 egg 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix 1/2 cup butter, softened 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar, sifted 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan. Beat together 1 egg, cake mix, and butter for 5 minutes. Mix and pour into prepared pan. Cream together cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, 2 eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour this on top of the cake base. Bake 35-40 minutes until browned. Cool 15 minutes and cut into squares. It was listed under "Philadelphia Style Butter Cake" but it sounds to me more like a gooey butter cake. I have a bakery @10 miles from me that does a butter cake with fruit that has a hard crust on it. maybe that's what you're looking for?

Good luck to both of you Windwalker and Wildkat!!!!
Lucky you for getting out of this mess that the trucking idustry has become. I would love nothing more than to sell my trucks and do something local, the shape of this industry has made me sick, the price of fuel and everything and these low rates has made it hard to make a decent living, we have one truck paid for and still can't bring in enough money lately to run the business. I have had enough, I think the days of owner operators is going to be a thing of the past with these rates now, who can afford to own trucks unless you are a bigger company. I am looking into selling and getting a local job hauling fuel where at least I am going to be paid for everything I do. These new drivers can deal with this OTR crap, I will just have fond memories of the days when this job used to be fun.

:lol: :lol:
Thank you so much! Actually WW... I think I DO know what you're talking about...or at least a close approximation of same... I totally agree with you...ONE is simply NOT enough...I did plan on making some cakes...not the decorated kind...I have no talent or imagination for such thing...BUT I DID plan on making those things...just in a single serving variety...that way you can take home 6...eat 3 on the way home & still say you have "some" when you get there! :lol2: :lol2:

Windy, I still question your math.
 How about 2+2=4 ? Basic assumption...yet false, as 2+2 can not be universally true to be 4. Maybe in the abstract world of arithmetic, but in our real world, it can not be universally true. Two tires and two more tires, will not equal four tires. Each tire is slightly different from the next. How about taking it to a more precise level? Two precisely engineered objects, will not equal the sum of two other precisely engineered objects, because of differences at the nano-level. Math can not be applied to a physical relationship, as it is abstract. It is more philosophy. The laws of math have been imposed on our reality, in which we base our belief in, yet there are deeper realities, and truths. We have to separate the analytical truth that 2+2=4 with the empirical process of calculation. The inductive observation that 2+2=4 does not require anyone to observe it to be true. It is true independently of our existence and the existence of space-time and matter. But further, how do you perceive true laws of mathematics? Do you base it on physical life? or artificial intelligence? A computer would fry itself on such a simple assumption, where as a human will intuit certain truths. We simply apply a false rule that 2+2=4. Whenever someone asks the question, we simply always answer 4. To that we have to ask ourselves, is our application for physical relationship? or philosophy? Pure math? or applied math? 2+2=4......only because we believe it to be so. Truth is...2+2 does not equal 4. Un=Un-1+Un-2, or the Fibonacci Recurrence of Whole Numbers, is one example of math formula which can rule the outcome and manifestation of the universe. Plainly put...the lowest common denominator, can rule the outcome of both man and nature. Man exists and experiences this universe from the 10 to the zero power perspective. One must convert the electromagnetic power that causes the ionization and polarization that drives the evolution of all things in this universe to a proportion relative to mans perspective. One must first quantify the "now" in order to mathematically formulate values of the "before now" or "subsequent now". To do this, we measure or quantify. That is how we base our reality. We measure everything within time and space, according to our perspectives upon a physical existence. A second is to the building of mans subjective reality as an atom is to the construction of matter. The second by second choices made within mans subjective reality which causes it to be as it is in any moment or second. 2+2=4 is only subjective. It is illogical.... Live Long and Prosper. (yer gonna need your first trillion for the lawsuits) :lol:  Ok. Let's broaden your bloody math. How about X=2X+Y, and all are positive numbers. Yes, that's what I said. X is equal to 2 times X plus Y. If either X or Y is a negative number, then it can work. But the fact is that they are doing it everyday, and have been for the last 30 years. Mathematically impossible, but in the world of Physics, as you approach the speed of light... I've always had kind thoughts for you. Why are you trying to confuse me??? MOM.... Hey MOM.... I need to sit in your lap for while....
