PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 9 Mar 09

Last time I went to London, it took my body 5 days to get straightened out in terms of sleeping at night. My body was all messed up! I wanted to sleep in the day and was wide awake and reading all night. Can someone tell me what I...

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 9 Mar 09

Do you have recommendations on what I should do and see in Scotland? I'll be in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Inverness, each for just a couple of days. I want to see some castles and some of the countryside as it looks gorgeous in all...

I will soon be visiting London for the second time. What sights are "must see?"

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 9 Mar 09

I was last in London about 15 years ago. I've been to the Tower of London and seen the crowned Jewels, the Museum of History, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. I've shopped in Harrod's although I do want to go there again. I've even...

What do you enjoy most about travelling to new places?

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 9 Mar 09

We are getting ready to take a trip and I'm so excited I could die. We are going to England and Scotland. When you go to a new place, what do you like the most--hanging out and resting in the hotel, hunkering down with a good...

Packing Tips for Vacation, Please.

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 9 Mar 09

I am just starting to pack for an upcoming trip. I am trying to pack light. My husband wants us to be able to just take carryon luggage so we don't have to check anything. That is what I prefer also, but I don't think I can get...

I'm already getting bored with sitting all the time since I injured my ankle.

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 28 Nov 08

This week, I got the x-ray on my ankle and found out that it was NOT broken! I was so thrilled. The doctor said it was a "really bad sprain" and that I had to wear my boot cast (left over from prior broken ankles) for 3 weeks. The...

Have you heard the theme song to the new James Bond movie?

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 28 Nov 08

It's sang by Alicia Keys and Jack White. This song is the first theme song for a 007 movie that is a duet (i.e. has 2 people singing it). Have you heard it? I think it's called, "Another Way to Die." If you've heard it, what do...

We just saw the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. Have you seen it?

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 28 Nov 08

This movie is definitely for adrenalin junkies. The chase scenes were unbelievable! Plus all the crashing, falling, and fighting was quite suspenseful. This 007 movie had the new guy, I think his name is Daniel Craig. He brings a...

Do you keep your craft supplies organized or are they scattered about?

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 21 Nov 08

I have recently tried to organized my knitting supplies. My method was pretty crude: I got 2 boxes--into one I placed all purse handles (I knit alot of purses) and all purse lining materials. I also placed left-over beads and yarn...

Went to Sear's the other evening and they had some nice short pajamas.

My husband is bugging me about what he can give me for my birthday. I couldn't think of one thing I wanted. We were walking for exercise at the mall and he wanted to look for a tool in the Sears store. I went to the lingerie...

Do you ever just feel "blah?"

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 10 Oct 08

I find myself wanting to stay home and surf the internet, knit, or watch tv rather than going out to dinner or shopping or whatever. I even get annoyed when I feel I have to go out. Just in case you may ask, no, I'm not depressed...

I was surprised that one of our best restaurants in town wasn't even crowded tonight, and it's Friday night. I just couldn't believe it, this restaurant is usually packed with people who are willing to wait an hour or more for...

Have you ever eaten out at a Carrabba's Italian Restaurant?

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 10 Oct 08

Tonight, we went out to dinner to Carrabba's. It's one of my favorite places to eat. I had the grilled salmon with a side order of fettucini alfredo. Yeah, I know, that's pretty fattening, but at least it was a side order. I also...
