    Days of Our Lives Watchers Part Two....

    I've quit taping the show & if I'm home I'll watch. However, I don't make it as much of a "must" anymore. I'll catch it on soapnet but usually I'm not paying that much attention. I can't stand having John & Marlena back although...if the writers would see fit to pair him with someone else...

    Looking for a new men's fragrance

    I'd like to know if, in the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books, the fragrance "Ranger" wears is actually a product or a made-up name. I think I'll do as suggested & go to Macy's & sniff my way through their choices. Thanks!

    Ideas for gifts or things to do for my daughter turning 21

    I love all the good suggestions here but if you're also looking for something silly, how about 21 of, say, her favorite candy? Halloween candy will be on sale soon so you can get bags of the mini bars. Or 21 stamps; 21 bottles of her favorite bottled whatever--water, soda, etc; 21 stickers if...

    if you know Joe Morelli, Stephanie Plum and Lula, I want to talk to you!

    I love the Plum series & the other Janet Evanovich books. I only wish I had a close friend to talk with about them. The only friend who would have been interested passed away several years ago. My DD might not like the naughty humor & I know my aunt wouldn't so I'm by myself. I discovered the...

    "He ONLY wants to be an auto mechanic..."

    I wouldn't put a kid down for what they said they wanted to do either. However, I did suggest to my DGD age 18 that she choose classes in college that will enable her to earn a living when she's out of school. Her dad has a degree but it didn't lead to a job in the field. this is for...

    Days of Our Lives Watchers Part Two....

    Oh gosh, no! I can't imagine Maggie & Victor acting like John & Marlena. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! I do think they're cute though, in this dating/engagement phase. However, I hope it doesn't end in a wedding.

    Days of Our Lives Watchers Part Two....

    I thought Nathan was Maggie's grandson by Melissa? SIGH.........I'm ready to quit watching DOOL altogether & switch to Bold & the Beautiful..although I'd get sick of the Ridge/Brooke/Taylor triangle as much as I'm sick of John & Marlena.

    Macaroni and Cheese from scratch

    This is my favorite mac & cheese recipe: http://www.mrfood.com/Pastas/Homestyle-Macaroni-and-Cheese Hubby's not too fond of it I believe; he likes to have browned hamburger in it & I don't. So if I remember, I'll have a small saucepan with some in it for him to add to his portion of mac &...

    "Hoarders"

    The hoarders shows make me sit up & notice too! I can see myself there if I'm not careful. My aunt is a hoarder. She doesn't keep trash but she finds it difficult to get all her assorted bags of trash from each room down to take out to the trash bin. There are pathways through the house; even...

    AG experts, collectors (ANOTHER QUESTION :)

    I wouldn't wait too much longer either. GOTY stuff tends to go quickly the closer it gets to the holidays. I've heard Kanani & her collection are selling very well. Let your DD see the other item you found, as a pp suggested. Then see which she prefers. If you get the shave ice stand & end...

    Chicken soup recipe?

    My grandma, who died 18 years ago at age 101, used to buy chicken backs & necks to put in her soup. Those items weren't all that expensive back then & she had 5 kids to feed. I imagine she put more meat in besides what was on the backs/necks, but the meat from those parts is just so sweet &...

    How to peel a banana.. the right way

    I'd heard that peeling a banana from the bottom helped for "strings" but no matter how I peel them I have strings. I'm going to try this way & see how it works for me. Sure does appear easier! Guess we can learn new things every day!!

    Days of Our Lives Watchers Part Two....

    I was anxiously awaiting this past week myself. Should have known better. I was sick of John & Marlena & was glad they were gone; am sad to see them back. Still tired of his flinty eyed expressions & her sappy expressions too although I haven't heard her whine "oh John" much yet. It was great...

    Great weekend for Wisconsin sports fans!

    More TV's and/or more sports stations would be nice so the networks don't have to be taken over by so much of this stuff. There's already sports stations so it's beyond me why the networks have to air this. Oh well; I have a book to read plus I can catch up with NBC shows I missed during the...

    When you die....

    Oh, Andtototoo, my heart goes out to you for what you needed to deal with when your mom died. I commend you for doing what you felt was best & not feeling guilty. You absolutely should NOT feel guilty! You did what worked best for you & I feel during that process you healed somewhat by talking...

    I'm watching "Kate Plus Eight"....

    I quit watching soon after their vow renewal. Gosh, what a waste of money!! Lovely setting & heavenly dress...all a waste!! A lie too I suspect because rumors of their troubles surfaced soon after that, didn't they? It was wonderful news to hear the show was cancelled but I have to admit I...

    Advice from anyone who's quit smoking cold turkey -Update

    Hang in there, OP, because I believe it will get better for you mainly, I think, BECAUSE you're ready to quit. Bring on the ice water to help flush your system. Isn't it nice to have fresher clothing, fresher mouth, fresher hair & a fresher house??? I also quit smoking; 1986 for me. My new...

    Cure for teenager's STINKY feet

    I agree, you'll most likely have to get rid of all shoes because they're already smelly. I also heard the bit about crumpled newspaper; it supposedly absorbs moisture in the shoes & that's what helps cause odors. Shoes are actually supposed to be worn every other day to allow for drying out...

    Anyone else having AT&T Wireless problems? I made a discovery.

    We have trouble with them all the time. Our DD has a family plan for her & the kids & it also allowed her to add me & DH. We're always having dropped calls & garbled voice connection. Drives me crazy. Then there's times when all's fine so who knows what's going on. Seems to me a company...
