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...

Have you ever been in a physical fight?

Amber @AmbiePam (92711) • United States 14 Sep 09

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.

I'm playing in a concert tomorrow night!

Loen210 @Loen210 (1540) • United States 7 Mar 08

Hi Friends, Just wanted to let you know that I am playing in a symphony orchestra tomorrow night. Very big hall, which fits a few thousand. And it is a very challenging, but great program. We also have a very talented piano...

KarenO52 I haven't had a chance to go to a classical concert, but I've been to a few rock concerts. This weekend I'll be going to Columbus Ohio for Comfest, which is a free community event in a park. There will be stages set up all over the park with different kinds of...

Are many of your night dreams, reflections of childhood?

Loen210 @Loen210 (1540) • United States 12 May 09

If I was more obedient and good (with lots of time!), I'd keep track and write down all the dreams that I remember. But do you find that many of your dreams (when you remember that), are playbacks or reminders or reflections...

KarenO52 Thanks for best response! I just had a dream the other night that I was with my future grand-nephew who is due to be born in September. In the dream he is about 18 months old, and he's got blond hair and brown eyes. My nephew and his wife had a sonogram, but...

We are getting ready to head to the community garden spot. We started a few plants from seed about 3 weeks ago and they are ready to plant. Not to sure how soggy the area will be though as it rained last night. The only good thing...

KarenO52 We now have a timer on the soaker hose to make things even easier. It's great! Last night it went down into the 20's, but we did have the plants covered, and only a few had a touch of frost.

Language Help

KarenO52 @KarenO52 (2950) • United States 26 Jul 08

I'm helping take care of an elderly lady who keeps saying "yoy, ishtanem", and "dobrayati". Does anyone know what this means? She has no idea, and doesn't even know what language it is, but thinks it may be Hungarian. I promised...

KarenO52 She passed on in December, just a week after her 80th birthday. She had been very ill for a long time. I think that those things she used to say were just some sort of exclamation, and she had fun saying them, and got a kick out of me saying them too.

One of my trees buds

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 10 Apr 09

This is a shot of one of my apple trees budding already. Last year we had a cold spring so the bees and butterflies weren't around early enough to pollinate them as well as prior. I am hoping the spring warms up faster than last...

KarenO52 The two Steve's are not the best dancers, but they did give their best. I was just thrilled that Woz was on the show at all,something I would never have imagned. I've been a fan of his for a long time.

Sit or Squat

KarenO52 @KarenO52 (2950) • United States 25 Mar 09

I just heard about this website called Sit or Squat, started by Proctor and Gamble, that shows you where to find a toilet anywhere in the world. I believe you can even search via a GPS through the site. When you go to the site,...

KarenO52 I hope this helps. I want to go to New York for a little vacation someday. I would hate to be at a loss for a decent toilet close by.

KarenO52 I'm not sure, but I would bet that it was a woman who came up with the idea, probably one like me who has a husband who can go halfway across the country without making a stop at a restroom, and when they do stop, they manage to find a gas station that looks...

Ice Cream made from Bre*st Milk---Mooooooo!

What will people think of next?!!!! PETA suggested to Ben&Jerry, the ice cream company, that they use breast milk in their ice cream. This does not sound healthy. What do you think? Obama, breast milk ice cream, gay barbie...

KarenO52 I like to use the dried chickpeas, and I cook them until they are done to make the falafel. The canned ones work all right too. I've tried those mixes for falafel, and i don't like them either. They don't taste authentic.

Who do you think can take the Republican Party back in four years? I am not sure about this. I know who I like but I cannot say that person would lead our party back.

KarenO52 I like Palin too. It's too bad she's getting so much unfair criticism lately. She was in my area campaigning, and I was talking to some people who saw her, and they said she was a really nice, down-to-earth person. I would like to see her do more.

Grocery stores, gas stations, but what else should B open when we have insomnia?

Amber @AmbiePam (92711) • United States 5 Nov 08
