anderpipe It is really unbealivable what a good artist can do with unlimited funds and resources. This was by far one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Now we can only hope that the rest of the games can live up to an opening of that magnitude.

anderpipe They really do look happy. What makes me happy is everytime I walk into the house after work my daughters run up to me screaming daddys home and wrap me up. Theres no easier way to put a smile on my face than for my little girls to say I love you daddy.

Milk..would you change to soy?

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 3 Aug 08

They have it in different flavors. Chocolate is good. I can take that. The vanilla isn't bad. Would you consider a change?

11 responses

anderpipe Soy is great. My family changed over years ago the only times we miss it is when it comes time to cook. Real milk is always better for cooking because it has so much more fat wich could also be a reason not to use it.
