    Do you tip your mail carrier for the holidays?

    Nope, I don't tip our mail person, but I DO tip our paper delivery guy. He is the best! He brings our local paper everyday, along with our NY Times on Sunday. He has never missed a morning, and every single day, the paper is so close to the door that I don't even have to step on the porch to...

    Anyone had a cortisone injection?

    I had it done twice for a frozen shoulder a few years back. If I recall, it did ease the pain some, but only temporary. And it also caused breakthrough bleeding that scared the hell out of me! I have a frozen shoulder AGAIN, on the other side. I'm not doing it this time, even though my...

    Let's talk Perfume

    Jil Sander #4 is my fave, but can be a little heavy, so I don't wear it in the summer. I also wear Clinique's Simply, Chanel's Chance, and Dior's J'adore.

    Since when do we not require our change??

    I was in a restaurant recently that had a tip jar for the cashier!!! Seriously. This was a sit-down restaurant. We left our tip on the table, went to pay at the register, and there was a jar with a sign asking for tips for the cashier. Huh? I had just tipped my server 20% and then I'm...

    As the World Turns

    Therese, I used to watch with my grandmother, too! She had a daily schedule: housework in the am, lunch, read the newspaper, take a nap, up at 1:30 to watch "her story!" I remember drinking leftover breakfast coffee with lots of milk and some sugar while we watched together. Of course, this...

    Favorite Christmas special?

    Love TBS' all-day "Christmas Story" marathon on Christmas day! I love "Meet Me In St. Louis," too. Judy Garland is heartbreaking when she sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Xmas." And, "Scrooged" is usually on at some point, and I have to watch it!

    real or fake tree?

    The year I have to have a fake tree is the year I don't put up a tree!:p Because our tree is real, we put it up two weeks before Christmas, and take it down New Years day (or the day after, if it falls on a weekend like it does this year.) By that time, I'm ready to be done with it. We use...

    My 20-year old Calphalon. Oh, and there's one non-brand kick-ass cast iron skillet that I love!

    Need some advice

    Well, because they could. It's not like they aren't aware that many of the people who sign these contracts will stop using the services/facilities. This is money in their pockets, and they have every right to do it. It's not like they forced a four-year old to sign it. Sounds like it's a...

    Popcorn suggestions?

    Amy, thanks for saying it so nicely. I'll refrain. And, Nancy, as a guy told a friend of mine when he came to pick her up and she apologized that her house wasn't all that tidy: "You are much too interesting a person to be worried about housework!"

    Popcorn suggestions?

    I use spray, too. Not much, and it only takes about three minutes. I've never had a fire.

    Popcorn suggestions?

    I sometimes tape, most of the times I don't because I don't have it right there! Oh, and, since the staples are metal, I would never use them in a microwave! Great, now I want popcorn!:p

    Popcorn suggestions?

    I take regular Orville Redenbacher popcorn (comes in a jar), put it in a brown paper bag, fold it, tape it, and microwave it. Then, there's the old-fashion way: popcorn, oil, large pot, over the stove, make sure the top's on! When it's done, I put my own salt/butter on it!
