What was the last concert you went to? It doesn't even have to be a professional one. Perhaps your child's spring music program in elementary school? I have been gone since Friday morning, and I got back home yesterday evening (I...

KarenO52 I went to a blues festival in Jax Beach in April. There was a band called Toots Lorraine and the Traffic. They were so good that we followed them from the main stage to catch them do their second set. That was a great time. There's nothing like seeing a live...

I wonder sometimes how they (the correctors) can enjoy things around them. You know, people who seem to run around with a rule book, waiting to correct someone if they get even close to "coloring outside the lines"? Now don't...

KarenO52 That lady must be a fun Nazi. Those types come out of the woodwork and stick their nose in, trying to spoil it whenever anyone is having fun, or just having a pleasant time. She's probably one of those people that no one really wants to be around, and a very...

I'm going to have my 6th back procedure in 7 months in about 2 weeks. This will be my second 'official' back surgery, although it isn't one where they cut you open all the way and stuff like that. This is kind of to prevent...

KarenO52 I found the recipe in my old computer files. It's 12 almonds, freshly blanched (but I just used any almonds I could find), 1 small banana, 3/4 cup water, 4 ice cubes, dash of vanilla and nutmeg. Combine and liquefy in blender. I found this years ago, and it's...

KarenO52 I feel bad for you having to go through so much surgery and pain. That's got to be very hard to deal with, and I wish you a speedy recovery. If you have a blender, you can make some healthy fruit smoothies, and use fresh or frozen fruit and milk, or yogurt....

On the occasion that my parents would be going somewhere to get ice cream (growing up) and they asked me what kind I preferred, I would say get me something weird. At our local Braum's they had an awful lot of ice cream and...

KarenO52 I must have been 3 or 4, but I do remember going to an ice cream place that had a huge fake ice cream cone on the roof as a decoration. It must have been at least 8 foot tall. When they asked me what I wanted, I would point to that one. I was always...

For whatever reason (and they do vary), have you ever been in a physical fight? Was it a punching fight, or maybe just a shoving match...? I have never been in a fight, although I guess my sister and I did "scuffle" when we were...

KarenO52 I just remembered, I even had my own boxing gloves. They were one of my favorite things when I was young. My dad used to take me to see the boxing matches, and at first he thought I would be scared, but I loved it.

KarenO52 I had three brothers, and I grew up fighting with them, but mostly just for fun. I also used to fight with my friends for fun. I did have a few real fights, but nothing real brutal.

I'm talking about change. Money that you scrounge around for, trying to find a few cents. At my parent's home, if you want a few bucks in change, all you have to do is dig in the sides of their couch and chairs. Change falls out...

KarenO52 I deliberately throw all my change into my purse, and then forget about it. When it gets too heavy, I clean it out, and find all the change, and end up with a nice little sum.

KarenO52 I've got a good garden this year, and I've got so much squash and tomatoes. I like a lot of variety, so I looked up some recipes from the food network for zucchini, and I've been making it a different way almost every day. One new favorite find is for...

KarenO52 It wouldn't bother me if it was someone I loved very much. I think it might even be comforting, and help to feel closer to them during the hard part of the grieving process. Of course, it also depends on the circumstances of how they died. Certainly, if they...

KarenO52 I was pretty busy last week, and so missed that Today Show story. That is amazing how the tiger cubs get along so well with the puppy too. They all look cute playing together. That dog mom did a good job.

KarenO52 I agree with you. I just saw something on tv about a family who's beloved dog was killed by a neighbor. The guy poisoned some meat with antifreeze and tossed it over the fence into the yard where the dog was out playing. The poor dog was 10 years old, and the...

KarenO52 It's good you're able to see a doctor and hopefully find out whether or not you have it. Then you can start the treatments, and do what you have to do to keep as healthy as possible. I have a niece who has been diagnosed with MS. I think we live in an area...
