Lucky12 @Lucky12 (767) • United States 26 Jan 12

Alright I decided to try this game and now I am like huh? How do you play it and what are you actually doing? Can someone help me here. I have read the site and everything, but still a little confused on it.

Raven1 I'm really lucky to live in a country where recycling is heavily encouraged. We're paid 10 cents for cans and bottles, so everyone I know collects them and cashes them in regularly. It really adds up to a nice bit of extra pocket money and it helps the...

Raven1 I won't eat macaroni cheese, but my daughter only ever eats it with sauteed chopped spinach, ham and mushrooms cooked through it. She won't eat it plain. She says it tastes disgusting plain.

brucemcclendon @brucemcclendon (56) • United States 2 Jan 12

Raven1 This is a tricky question, but I believe that any parent who allows a child to eat food that damages their health or results in gross obesity really needs to re-assess their own parenting style. These things aren't in the best interests of the child and so...
