How do you like your hot chocolate?

poetkelly @poetkelly (79) • United States 25 Sep 08

Do you like it with marshmallows? Just plain? I like it with a dollop of cool whip on top. My partner bought this Swiss Miss hot chocolate that came with marshmallows in it, and it's really gross. The marshmallows remind me of the...

Sparkee73 I love hot chocolate with whipped cream on top, too. The contrast between the cold of the cream and the warmth of the hot chocolate is soooo good! I don't mind the hard little marshmallows, but they melt pretty quickly.

marisriel @marisriel (1156) • Philippines 24 Sep 08

We have tried one variety of Auntie Anne's pretzels last weekend and it was delicious. I was not buying in the past because it was quite expensive but since we have some extra cash last time, I decided to buy so my husband and...

Sparkee73 Auntie Anne's is delicious. There's only one that's anywhere nearby me so I don't get it too often. I know they have a lot of different varieties, but I've only tried one and that's the plain one with salt. Even with no dipping sauce or added flavors it was...

Can I train my cat to like dogs?

candymarie @candymarie (1368) • Canada 23 Sep 08

Well? Can I? Does anybody have a cat, or knows someone with a cat that isn't scared of dogs, that will actually go up to one and just be all like, "Whatever. You're cool. Let's play." I would LOVE to teach my cat like dogs, and...

Sparkee73 I had a little cat once who LOVED our puppy. They'd wrestle and play together...it was great. That was the only dog our cat ever liked, however. I think it was probably because they were both young and kind of grew up together. I think if your sister's dog and...

A typhoon named 'higebi' (our pronounciation) is landing our city

sweetyyyyyheart @sweetyyyyyheart (106) • China 23 Sep 08

A typhoon higebi is landing our city. My house is located beside the sea, so it seems that the typhoon is quite scarey. The wind is blowing with loud noise of ’woo-woo', and raining hard. I feel the building is shaking in the...

Sparkee73 When I want chocolate chip cookies, I usually buy the dough ready-made and just bake them. I do make my own peanut butter cookies from scratch and they taste wonderful. I've used no-salt peanut butter in those cookies before since my dad has to be on a low...

coffee or tea??

shanemre @shanemre (357) • Saudi Arabia 23 Sep 08

Which one do you prefer? I like coffee... because I can play with it and make my own style of the coffee I want... I can put cream, milk... coffee as I want it. I drink also tea sometimes, but most of the time, I like coffee....

coffee

tea

6 responses

Sparkee73 I'd have to say that I like both coffee and tea, but I like coffee better. Like you said, you can add so many different things to it to make whatever flavor you want. I like creamer and a Hazelnut flavor packet in mine. Sometimes I'll put cinnamon in it, too....

lilcee @lilcee (2703) • United States 21 Sep 08

Sparkee73 I know that some pharmaceutical companies that manufacture pills will help you pay for the prescriptions depending on your income. The previous poster was right about Wal Mart's $4 prescriptions, and I know some of the other drugstores are doing that, too.

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 18 Sep 08

Has anyone done this before? We are low on cash, but due to evacuation for Gustav I think our cats may have picked up some fleas in the hotel room. I found some good auctions on ebay for sealed packs of Advantage. Wondering if...

Sparkee73 I bought Frontline Plus for both my cats and dog on eBay several months ago. It was for a very good price, they were all sealed, but for some reason the stuff just didn't work. I ordered more from a different, direct pet medicine website and paid a lot more,...

Sparkee73 Breast milk is by far the best choice, if you can manage it. That said, I know how difficult it is for a working mom to provide that for a baby. Depending on your work environment and what kind of privacy you have, a breast pump (especially a motorized one)...

Sometimes when I listen to music my mood will change, does this happen to anyone

music

3 responses

Sparkee73 I definitely think music affects mood. When I'm angry, I like to listen to really heavy rage music...it somehow makes me feel better. Though, conversely, sometimes when I'm really down I like to try and get myself out of it by listening to upbeat stuff.

Sparkee73 I agree with you completely...they DO grow up so quickly! It's bittersweet because it's wonderful to watch them grow and become their own person but you sure do miss them being small.
