How Do You Fry Your Cabbage?

singlemommy @singlemommy (2955) • United States 3 Jan 09

I love fried cabbage. I fried some earlier for lunch. I normally just chop up my cabbage and fry it in a little vegetable oil. I like to add a little salt and pepper too. You can tell by the picture that I like my cabbage almost...

CherylsPearls I love cabbage, too. You cook it the way I really love it. Bubble and Squeak is good, also. A Scottish friend taught me how to make it. This recipe is most like I make it: http://www.anenglishmaninamerica.co.uk/british-bubble-and-squeak-recipe.php I also...

CherylsPearls Personally, I think it should be made legal. If it was, it would clear out some space in jailhouses and prisons all over the world. Then maybe they would have room for some real criminals. I haven't smoked pot in years (like 25 or 30), but I don't see...

Christian and Muslim heavens and hells - are they the same places?

positiveminded1977 @positiveminded1977 (7072) • India 31 Dec 08

Well? I will refrain from adding Jews to the list though I would be happy to know about the Jewish idea of the afterlife. So, my friends Jews, what happens after you die? Do you go to heaven if you are good boys...

CherylsPearls This girl does not believe in a literal hell at all. So what kind of Christian does that make me? Do I have a label? (Your other discussion inspired that question...lol). If I say that I wish someone would go to hell, I always say that I wish they would go...

John Travolta's Son Dies At 16

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 2 Jan 09

I just heard the end of this on the news and had to look it up; John Travolta and Kelly Preston's sixteen year old son, Jett died today while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas. He apparently suffered a seizure at the...

CherylsPearls I saw that on the news. It is sad. John Travolta is definitely not one of my favorite actors, but I really do feel for him. It must be the cruelest thing to lose a child. I wondered, since he and his wife belong to the Scientology church, if the child was...

fwidman @fwidman (11514) • United States 2 Jan 09

We are in the new house, and it has been an experience, that's for sure. Shelly has a brand new refrigerator and stove so that's nice. Had a devil of a time with the stove, since the pipe coming into the house isn't the same size...

CherylsPearls It's been a while (like 23 years or so), but when I moved from my nice cozy apartment where everything was taken care of by management while I was at work...to my own house, where nobody takes care of anything for me (lol), we ran into all sorts of problems....

Have you ever known someone who finishes all your sentences for you?

sharra1 @sharra1 (6340) • Australia 3 Jan 09

Well I do. I am not talking about someone who just interrupts and never lets you finish but someone who knows you so well that he knows what you are going to say. I never get to finish a sentence any more as my partner always...

CherylsPearls Yes, I have and do. My Mom, my daughter and I do this all the time. It is weird, but good weird. The really freaky thing is that, sometimes when one of us is thinking about something, one of the others will say something about it. I guess we're really, really...

Soylent Green - If You Haven't Seen It Since 1973, Watch It Again!

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 3 Jan 09

Since this is an old movie, released in 1973, I'm going to assume most of you who are reading this haven't seen it, in fact many of you weren't even born when it came out...lol! It was made in 1973 but set "in the future" - the...

CherylsPearls I saw it at the movies when it came out and I've seen it on TV since. We were just talking about this movie a few weeks ago. I can't remember what started the conversation, but my daughter was saying that she would like to see it. She was born in 1973! lol She...

CherylsPearls If a man can actually grow a nice mustache, I love them. My ex-husband was American Indian...it took him a good two years to grow in a nice mustache! lol I definitely don't like "boyish" looks. A nice, trimmed beard is great, too, although I see that so...

Ignorant Voters

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 19 Nov 08

CherylsPearls People choose who to vote for for a myriad of reasons. Some actually know where their politicians stand on the issues; some just remember the name. Some vote straight tickets. Some get a list from their party. Some are told who to vote for by their...

CherylsPearls That is so wrong. I am a liberal (and you can chuck me in the bucket with Obama and all the other names he is frequently called); however, I think to even try such a stupid thing is wrong. Putting myself there (in that environment), I would probably start...

CherylsPearls My first question would be, who cares what Chuck Norris has to say about anything? At best, he is a cheesy actor. If we are going to listen to one actor, shouldn't we listen to all of them? It's funny to me that the Republican party was the one trying to...

South Carolina Priest Says No Communion For Obama Supporters

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 13 Nov 08

CherylsPearls It's just another way that the church has of trying to rule over everything. One would think that if the church has that much interest in politics, it would pay taxes, huh? I think it is hypocritical of the church, any church, to involve itself in any type...

I Guess Public School Is Just Too Good For The Obama Girls

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 13 Nov 08

Public schools, according to Obama are good enough for poor and middle-class families, but not for rich families like the Obamas. In July, when he addressed the NAACP's annual convention, Sen. Barack Obama expressed his devotion...

CherylsPearls First of all, even though some may think it's not the point, Obama hasn't even taken office yet. He has expressed a desire to improve public schools, but he can't do that until he does take office. Second, I am against school vouchers, too. School vouchers...
