You should always leave loved ones with loving words.  It may be the last time you see them.

Looking Thinner I was shopping for art supplies at my friend's craft store. As she was checking me out, my friend asked, "Have you gotten thinner?" Flattered, I replied, "Why, yes. I've been on this diet for a couple of weeks now and I've lost a few pounds."

 

1. Prevent Fogged Goggles Whether you’re woodworking or going skiing or scuba diving, nothing is more frustrating (and sometimes dangerous) than fogged goggles. Prevent the problem by coating the goggles with toothpaste and then wiping them off.

1. Keep Insects Out of the Kitchen You don’t need insecticides or ant traps to ant-proof your kitchen. Just give it the lemon treatment. First squirt some lemon juice on door thresholds and window-sills. Then squeeze lemon juice into any holes or cracks where the ants are getting in. Finally, scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance. The ants will get the message that they aren’t welcome. Lemons are also effective against cockroaches and fleas.

Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a cup of water. Put the mixture into a bowl (microwave safe, of course) and heat it until it's boiling (a minute or so). Let it sit for another minute. The lemon and water mixture will loosen the food on the walls and roof of your microwave, making it a lot easier to clean. And as a bonus, your microwave will smell like lemons (without using a cleaning solution)!

What is everyone doing this weekend. I am working.

I have had a cold/flu for three weeks and once it was going away I got it again, but now it's like in my chest. It's also doubled cause of my asthma, does anyone know what I can take for it cause the stuff i'm taking just isn't working. I'm also a diabetic so been taking diabetic cough meds and maximum strength flu relief for high blood pressure, but don't think it's working at all. Been drinking warm tea too, and lots of liquids.  So if anyone can help please do so.   Thank You

Think of brown rice as the emperor with his clothes on. You see, brown rice isn’t its own variety of rice, as is often thought. Instead, every variety of rice starts off brown because brown rice is just unmilled rice, rice with all its ‘clothing’ layers still intact. Once those ‘clothes’ are polished away, inside every grain of brown rice is a white, starchy and yes, naked, kernel stripped of flavor, fiber and nutrition.

Is your Mother In - Law one to be dreaded when seen or do you get along? My mother in law has never cared for me because I am related my aunt, LOL! They use to be best friends, then had a falling out and so My mother in law does not like anyone related o her. It is rough but we try to manage.

I am 31, amost 32, and I have always done what my mother said to do, up until a year ago. Now that I am getting older, I am too crancky to follow orders, LOL! I love my mom but she is just going to have to take up a hobby to fill up her time.

For the last few days I have been ill. I would usually fight through this and continue with my regular work schedule, in the past, but have decided to blow everything off this time and just rest. It is nice.

So we were driving down the autobahn when I glanced at the car we were passing. The man turned to look at me ,also, and in the process was picking his nose. He did not seem embaressed for getting caught, nor did he stop.

Did you like this movie or were you disappointed?

My daughter turned 9 and for her party she had a sleep over with 9 girls. OMG! The drama was intense. LOL! I am so tiered right now that I have not even attempted to clean up the mess the girls left. Thank goodness my oldest daughter is asking for an amusement park party versus the slumber party this month because I don't tink I will survive another one .

What is your favorite? I am a blue person. My husbad likes MANLY purple, LOL. My oldest daughter is with me, blue. My youngets daughter loves pink, and my son won't say because he is afraid the color he picks will be a girls color. He used to like purple.

What shape is your head? I personally have a rounded face. I wish it was more oval. They say that oval shaped faces are supposed to be the nicest shape for our heads. What do you think?

My 9 year old daughter has began learning about poverty. She ased me a week ago if we were poor. I said well, we are not rich but I wouldn't say we are poor. So later on in the day her and I went to the store and she asked if she could buy a toy. I sad no and she stared singing as loud as she could, "were poor, were poor!" over and over again. I was embaressed!

I am afraid of toilets, LOL! They freak me out even on the cleanest days. I clean mine every day and dread if I have to use someone elses. I assume "the stance" 5 feet away from the seat when I have to use a public restroom and pray that the muscles i my legs do not give out, LOL! What about you?

I am pretty sure that my cat needs some type of pill to control her mood swings. One minute she loves you and the next she is hissing, bitting, and attacking you. I have never seen such an angry cat before . Have you?
