Is it good manners to fart loudly in a gathering? All of us let out wind- but most of us do it quietly, surreptitiously. In fact, if you are suppressing wind, you are creating problems for your body as it would surge upwards and...

aconner oh wow, those cherries sound really good. I found a recipe that actually tells you how to make the white gooey center like the store bought ones. I might give that a shot.

Do you have a special weekend that you put up your Christmas tree and trimmings? We usually do it the weekend nearest the 15th December. We have done this for many years and I cannot look back and say why we started to do it on...

aconner Every year since I can remember we've put it up either on Thanksgiving night or the day after Thanksgiving, it all depended on how tired we were after eating Thanksgiving dinner. This year I put my decorations and tree up before Thanksgiving. I don't know why....

aconner Yes, you and I are alike when it comes to asking for items. I'm the same exact way. However, when it comes to gifts that you give, if someone tells you off or laughs at what you got them (unless it's supposed to be funny :) I would have to say it would be...

aconner I have to disagree with you here. I don't give gifts expecting to receive something. I know people that are that way and it's a bit frustrating. There have been times I honestly couldn't give presents and when they got offended saying "I got you ____, and you...

aconner Thank you for the good wishes this season. Yes it's a bit early but since I've never done it before I wanted to do some test runs before actually making the gifts. My husband and I are enjoying the candy for now. I'll probably pick 5 of my favorites that i try...

aconner Yea, I think I may give the orange peels another shot and if I fail again I won't be messing with sugar syrup ever again. it was VERY messy. The chocolate, not so messy though, pretty easy to clean up.

aconner Wow, thanks so much for the recipes. Where can I find Paraffin at? I think I will definitely have to give the Buckeyes a shot. I love peanut butter and chocolate together. Also, what is hard tack? How would I make something like that?

aconner Why do you have to mix the condensed milk with the chocolate? Couldn't you just melt the chocolate and pour it into the molds? Does the condensed milk just make it a little softer? Just wondering.

aconner That sounds pretty simple. No, I don't have a double boiler but I did use a small pot in a larger pot last night while melting some chocolate. It turned out great. Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to give it a shot.

aconner Yes, the thermometer was one of the things that was a bit much for my budget at the moment. I was able to find some recipes on about.com. There were so many I still haven't made it through the entire list.
