What is Your Favorite Way to Cook a Turkey?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (121713) • Gainesville, Florida 25 Nov 15

There are many ways to cook a turkey, but without a doubt my all-time favorite is deep-fried turkey! It is so simple to make, and it turns out (at least in my opinion) so much better than an oven-roasted turkey! And much juicier!...

Madison Ogashi We do ours in the oven.....stuffed! Then we mix up the stuffing from the turkey, with what we fix in a pan. (the turkey can't hold all the stuffing that we need to fix....lol.)

Games for Brains

ElizabethWallace @ElizabethWallace (12074) • United States 23 Nov 15

I just read another one of those articles about things we can do to keep our brains sharp as we age. I find it helpful to read these, since they remind me to do what I sometimes let slide. I have never done one of them, play video...

What's your comfort food?

anaaibachan @lizbenetua (637) • Philippines 23 Nov 15

Has anyone found a Genealogy Site where you can acquire information on ancestors?

marcyaz @Marcyaz (35316) • United States 25 Aug 15

I have tried on two different sites but have come up with a blank. Could it be because they came to the US from Europe so the records are not in the US. Just wondering if someone has good luck finding ancestors.

marcyaz @Marcyaz (35316) • United States 22 Aug 15

Jesus Christ (pbuh) is not the son of God. If you prove me that he is, then I'll leave Islam.
