It is better to remain silent and thought dimwitted than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Would you rather lose weight by diet and exercise or by surgery?

pilbara @pilbara (1436) • Australia 4 May 07

I admit that I am overweight so I decided to do something about it. I have joined weight watchers and am going to a gym doing cirucit training. In the last 5 weeks I have lost 4.5 kilos (10 pounds). I know someone else who...

Kellrae I think it's a pride thing as well. I'm proud of the way I have worked to get slimmer. Surgery wouldn't afford me that. I would just be paying someone else to do it for me. Besides, there are risks in every surgery. Unless your dr. says otherwise, I think it...

Kellrae Lose the weight by diet and exercise, definately!! I've lost over 50 lbs. this way. I don't count points or calories. I just try to eat as much natural whole foods as possible. And I make most our meals from scratch. Colas are very rare and sweet tea, as...

Kellrae Don't feed your kids lunchroom food! Pack healthy lunches instead. Feed kids whole, natural foods as much as possible. Start being active yourself. Kids see what you eat and how active you are. Do these things and your kids will, too (eventually.). Don't give...

In Search of a Low-fat, Low-sodium, Sugar-free Asian Sauce

Hart57 @Hart57 (359) • United States 4 May 07

For a quick and convenient meal, I like to microwave frozen stir-fry-type veggies and put them on top of a heap of brown rice (I'll add chicken or tofu for some protein). I want to add a little flavor. Do you have some...

Kellrae Try Bragg's liquid aminos. It's like soy sauce, but a bit stronger. It has very little sodium, which occurs naturally. There's like 16 or so amino acids in it. Good stuff. I bought mine at a health food store, but it's available online as well. My family...

when you sneeze!

aaa0126 @aaa0126 (205) • Philippines 15 Mar 07

i've read this one nice fact, people say "God Bless you!" when u sneeze because when u sneeze your heart stops for a milisecond, if u sneeze too hard, u can fracture a rib, if u try to suppress a sneeze, u can rupture a blood...

Kellrae I don't know about the blood vessel thing, but the heart stopping is true. The actual reason people say God blees you is this... In the fiftenth century (if I recall correctly) people thought that when you sneezed, you were expelling evil spirits. The pope...

Leftover Mashed Potatoes

jeweledbluerose @jeweledbluerose (3061) • United States 13 Mar 07

I have always been one to use leftovers in some form or fashion that is good, and tastes different from the meal we had the day before, but for the life of me I cannot think of a way to reuse leftover mashed potatoes. I don't like...

Kellrae Make potato patties. Add an egg, beaten, then flour till it's thick, like a soft dough. Add seasonings to taste, also. Now press into patties about half the size of a hamburger pattie. Fry in hot oil (only a little) until both sides are browned. You may die...

Would You Watch A Sub-titled Movie?

randomosity_prevails @randomosity_prevails (1110) 11 Mar 07

Most of my favourite films are foreign, so personally I have no problem with sub-titles. I know some people, however, who don't enjoy watching sub-titled films because they feel there is extra effort involved in reading them....

Kellrae The one subtitled film that I enjoyed was the Passion of the Christ. I'm a fast reader, but others in my household aren't. We could all read that because the text stayed on the screen awhile. I hope to be able to expand my film selections one day.

Do you ever order from Collectionsetc.com?

MaxsMom @MaxsMom (250) • United States 12 Mar 07

I love their items. I just got my order today. I got the big laundry mat and a bathroom magazine holder. I also got some laundry pictures. Do you ever order from them?

1 response

Kellrae I ordered from them once. They took so long, that I had to call them to track my order. My hubby's bday had passed, and his present never arrived. I called again, and the lady said there was a mix up. Finally, two weeks later, I got a check in the mail and the...

Kellrae I once spent 16 hours on the job as a corrections officer. Then I had a 20 minute drive home on backwoods winding roads. I dozed off and woke just as I was hitting the edge of the shoulder of the road several times. Scary. Plus, my job entailed climbing stairs...

Kellrae I bought the turbo cooker when it came Walmart. It worked, but not at a reduced rate of time like on the tv infomercial. You had to keep moving the rack of food to add more water and figure out when to tun the vents. On the upside, it's an awesomely useful...

Thrift stores and tag sale shopping

teagsmom @teagsmom (91) • United States 15 Feb 07

Thrift stores - love them or hate them? I tend to lean towards loving them. I think that it's amazing sometimes that people will turn their noses up at thrift stores, but will gladly pay 2, 3 and 4 times as much for a used...

Kellrae I love thrift stores! I buy my husband's work pants there for $2(think mechanic). A couple of weeks ago I had to testify in court, so I bought two new dresses (on sale,of course). That's the first new clothes I've bought in about three years. Almost all my...

Decorations

I have a minimalist style in my home. We do not have alot of decorations. We have some artwork, some photos of kids we know, and plants. How is your home decorated?

Kellrae I have a hodge podge of things people have given me over the years. No theme, really. I like sayings, so I have a few of them hanging on my walls. Things like "A day hemmed in prayer never unravels" and "The best things in life...aren't things".

Are You an Optimist or a Pessimist?

Kellrae I'm an optimist,too. Even when I'm going through bad times, I still wear my rose colored glasses. I think my optimism comes from the joy I have in Christ. I've been around people that are always feeling bad,someone's out to get them,etc. They make me leave...
