Barb42 I haven't had a cup of coffee in about 3 years. It started bothering me in my throat and I decided I could live without coffee. I drink hot tea in the morning and any time I need warming up. I do miss coffee when we have cake or pie, and especially out in a...

Left wing scum, Alan Colmes, mocks the death of Rick Santorum's son

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 4 Jan 12

I have said over and over again that children should be off limits. I never imagined though, that ANYONE, no matter how scummy, would stoop to attacking a candidate over a child that died tragically after living for only two...

Barb42 I could not believe that Alan Colmes was so hard hearted. To attack a father for taking his child home to introduce it to the family was terrible. We all make our decisions according to our feelings, not those of other people Alan Colmes had no business even...

We visited with Grandpa Bob in Minnesota

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160933) • United States 7 Oct 11

Last night we met Bob and his wife Deb at a Casino and enjoyed eating at the buffet. We were also joined by another Dri Wash n Guard distributor, who has fished some of the same fishing holes as Grandpa Bob. He is quite a talker,...

Barb42 That was so neat you getting to meet Grandpa Bob! I talk to him on Facebook some. And he does put pictures of his vegetable out of his garden on there. Nice looking bunch of veggies. AND he also has fruit. He's made lots of jellies. I kidded him about sending...

I'm a tattletale!

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 5 Oct 11

Yep, I am. I haven't tattled on anyone in decades. I mean, since I was little and usually tattled on my sister. But, I just did it again a few minutes ago. My husband just got home on Sunday from being in the hospital for 5...

Barb42 I see nothing wrong with what you did. You are, in effect, trying to save your husband's life!! One thing you could have done was search the house while he was in the hospital for his stashes and done away with them! It would have made him...

Oldies Are Real Goldies

sukumar794 @sukumar794 (5040) • Thiruvananthapuram, India 6 Aug 11

When it comes to listening to one's favorite music, it is old songs that fill the heart with sweet memories of the yesteryear. One might even go to the extent of feeling that the musical spell associated with listening to such...

Barb42 I love to listen to the older music/songs. Some of the new music is nice, but not all, for sure. Even my grandkids like a lots of the older music. We are listening to music now on RFD-TV. We listen to lots of programs on there and they do have lots of the...

Barb42 I think it's best to pack right at the last minute. I always packed the night before we left the next morning. I figure, when you do last minute packing, you are less likely to pack way too much. Even when packing at the last minute, I always packed more than...

My boss said I am stupid

wongchoiyee @wongchoiyee (7413) • Malaysia 3 Aug 11

She said I am stupid. When she delegates work to me, she seems like talking to herself. I don't quite understand what a word she wants to tell me. She is fast and not accurate talking too many things which one thing she did not...

Barb42 I may be different than most. But, if my boss called me stupid, I'd be hunting the EXIT door quickly. I believe a boss is to respect his/her employees just like the employee is to respect his/her boss. When that disappears, it isn't a very healthy working...

Humbug25 @Humbug25 (12540) 3 Aug 11

I was just in the shower and I don't know why I do it, but I always do it twice. I am sure that I have read something or heard something somewhere that guys don't see why people do it twice so most of them only usually do it the...

Barb42 If I wash my hair in the shower, it would be two times before I got out. I like it to be squeaky clean! My beautician always washes everyone's hair (men and women alike) twice! Makes your head feel so good!

Which is better for sore body - heat or ice?

Oneironaut @_sketch_ (5742) • United States 22 Jul 11

When your body is sore, do you like to apply heat or ice? I tend to put ice, but I am not sure if this is really best at relieving pain. When I was in physical therapy for my knee, the therapists would first apply heat to loosen...

Barb42 I would suggest ice. I have a pain in my back sort of near the hip on the right side - went from the left to the right this week. A friend at the beautician's this afternoon said use ice. She had gone to the DR with pain and he said always use ice for pain,...

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 2 Jun 11

Barb42 The big deal is the fact he is a government employee. It is against the law to hack someone's account, but worse to hack a government employee's account. But it is sort of fishy to me. He can't deny it's him in the photo. Please tell me WHY he had that picture...

Don't sleep while your hair is still wet!!.....?

whengcat @whengcat (1457) • Philippines 3 May 11

I usually take a shower at night due to the hot summer season in our place. This way, I can somehow comfortably get myself to sleep. One time, my mother-in-law reminded me to first let my hair dry before going to sleep. She said...

Barb42 This is just an old wives' tale! I could not count on my hands and feet how many times I went to bed with a wet head in curlers when I was young and at home! It isn't going to make you blind or kill you or endanger your health.

Do you yell or talk back to the television screen?

keshia2007r @keshia2007r (2880) • United States 1 May 11

Barb42 I find myself talking back to television all the time. When someone isn't telling the truth and I know it, I talk to them specifically. And, when our favorite football teams are playing, I talk to them all the time! You know, we do the same time in person at...

Barb42 I see nothing wrong with women nursing their babies in public. I think they should cover up their breast, not to just completely expose themselves. But nursing is a natural part of life, if the Mother wants to nurse. God gave us the possibility of doing so....

Barb42 Here in AL where we normally buy gas, it was $3.64/$3.65(two places)yesterday. But it has been higher. Seems it's up one day, down the other. But we expect it is going to keep going up until it is $4 or over by the summer. It is bad since I stay with my Mother...

Barb42 He may say that, but it is going to be only 'empty words' coming from his mouth. I've learned you don't pay one bit attention to anything he says! He has promised so many things that he's fallen back on. It is his way of getting people to vote for him and many...
