I've read Memoirs of a Geisha. I thought it was a good, well told story enlightening of other cultures. For me it was one of those books where I couldn't get emotionally attached to any of the characters though. (Just for discussion, please don't take my opinion as criticism of anyone's...

Clare's post: "You might also like Jodi Picoult. Her best is her most recent, but the name escapes me. She deals with tough moral issues in close- knit relationships." My Sisters Keeper? About parents *engineering* a sibling donor for their child with Lukemia? The moral question was if you...

I'm interested in people's experiences too. I have terrible varicose veins and had a few surgically removed several years ago. The problem is that the veins came back. Then I went in and had them saltwater injected, but they came back again.. in the same place. I don't know how a removed vein...

I loved both the Time Travelers Wife and Kiterunner, and also highly recommend the Outlander Series. (Ivory: Did you see that a 6th book in the series is due out soon. I read "Lord John and the Private Matter" which is called book 6 but it didn't have anything to do with the series). The...

Your recipe sounds good to me too KC. I love sweet potatoes too. I started making *chips* in the oven when I made regular potato chips (baked thin slices). I have been using this recipe a lot and like the spice mix...

>5. I notice people over the age of 50 wearing jeans and >sneakers. Again, never see this in the UK so it strikes me as >totally outlandish! !! What do people over 50 in the UK wear? I'm coming up on 50 and I always wear jeans and sneakers... tee shirt too. I never dreamed that would look...

I have never had a pair of pointy toe shoes. My size 10 wide would need to add a couple more inches to get to a point and my shoes are pretty much ski's anyway. I never saw any appeal in the look of them either. Feet are not shaped like that, and I always thought they looked ridiculous. But I'm...

oh my gosh he is getting big! I haven't checked his pics for a while. And I love Clyde, what a sweetie. It is such a special time to have a baby in the family. Take lots and lots of pics! They grow so fast. Joey is adorable, the big smiley one with the adorable dimples just makes me feel all...

I don't understand it either. It seems like a lot of parents are going overboard with so many things these days. If you rent the park and hire the band for a 5yr old birthday what are you going to do when that kid turns 10? or 14? It gets to where there is nothing special anymore. These parents...

""A leprechaun I am not. Cathe and her crew look so graceful. I'm afraid I look like a giraffe caught in a blender."" I'm 5' 9" and I feel like a giraffe (LOL) I constantly run out of room and feel like I have arms and legs flailing everywhere compared to those little people with...

As disgusting as it is it is very normal for puppies to do this. It's called coprophagia and they usually outgrow it.

hehe, I am really nasty I guess but I shower once a day, period. And some days I barely have time for that. I work from home and have 2 kids at home so I too just squeeze in a workout when there is a good break. I shower at the end of my day, sometimes that's at 3:00 or 4:00am. It seems I'm...

Someone gave me some 6 packs of pie pumpkins this year so I plugged them in the mounds with my others. I didn't know what pie pumpkins were and now I have a pumpkin jungle with a bazillion little cantalope sized ripe pumpkins. I guess I found out what pie pumpkins are :) I have a few...

My first step tapes were Cathe's Step n' Motion 1 and 2. Cathe has come a long way since then.

I'm about to be buried in zucchini so I've bee putting it up lots of ways. This week I started drying *chips* in the dehydrator and found that they are really good. My first couple attempts didn't come out so good, I just sliced them (using a slicer to get the thickness uniform) and sprinkled...

Ok Icklemoley, I'm trying to figure out how much coconut oil to use in a day. You posted all of these: ""For weight loss, try taking two teaspoons in a little hot water or apple juice, 30 minutes before meals (3x a day). 30 minutes before each meal (three times aday) put two tablespoons...

"""Coconut oil, (for us humans) has the nutrition value of lard.""" It's funny how popular opinion/perception can swing like a pendulum. I was taught (by my college chemistry professor and others) that oils that are solid at room temperature (butter, lard, crisco etc) were saturated fats and...

I like most protien bars, because they have so much sugar in them. I could eat detour or balance bars all day. Someone recommended Greens+ to me thought and I have to admit the ingredients look great. http://greensplus.com/index.php/cPath/34_43 I asked how they taste and was told they...

I'm with oldfirmie, I just don't like to wear a ring. The symbolism of the wedding ring is great, and if you can wear and like jewelry that's great too. But if wearing a ring is unsafe or bothersome to you (which I think is why most people choose not to) I don't think it means anything about the...

Mine's 11/9/58 Mar's got me beat, but carol and elaine come in third in the cathe *pink hat* group. Where's candi?, I thinks she's a red hat graduate. We should be proud of ourselves for being here! Pam
