We had a very traumatizing experience this afternoon. Shortly after returning home, my 9 year old daughter let out our 18 week old Labradoodle, Charlie, as she does almost everyday. But, today Charlie decided to leave the yard and...

bsantora When I was 10 years old and my "baby" brother was 5, I had a mini poodle (about 2 lbs) name Beau who rode in the basket of my bicycle all the time. One day I was going to visit a friend and my brother, of course, was tagging along. All of a sudden and for the...

bsantora I considered tomatoes a veggie until an herbologist I knew told me they are a fruit...something about the seeds. But lots of veggies have seeds, so I'm not sure why they aren't ALL fruits! Also, red wine is considered an essential part of a meal in Italy, and...

How did you learn cooking?

itsonlyndream @itsonlyndream (377) • Philippines 5 May 09

I don't know how to cook but I want to study. Do you have any tips on that? It is really very expensive to study at culinary school... I am thinking of reading the cooking dictionary where you read all the terminologies about...

bsantora I love to cook and have been cooking since I was a little girl, standing on a chair next to my Nonna, making dinner. Pasta, sauce, sausage, meatballs, eggplant, on and on and on! I encourage people who are new to cooking to use their intuition and don't be...

Do you enjoy camping?

wmfhed @wmfhed (121) • Canada 26 Jun 09

Hi, dear myLot friends. How many of you here have ever been camping before? If you haven't, I highly recommend it. Camping is a great way to get outside and enjoy nature. Camping is also peaceful and relaxing. Sadly, some people...

sharone74 @sharone74 (4837) • United States 26 Jun 09

We all know that the cost for the wear and tear that we put on our bodies during our younger years is paid in our later years, with aches and pains, illnesses, high cholesterol, obesity, heart or degenarative diseases etcetera. Do...

bsantora Unfortunately, Sharone, it sometimes comes due sooner than you may think! Back in the day, I was the ultimate party animal; alcohol, drugs, you name it. I am a product of the '70's, all the bad parts of it, anyway, and it started to catch up with me at the...

bsantora That was a very thoughtful and practical gift! The last gift I bought my Mom is a Heart-Shaped Bamboo plant in a TerraCotta box. She just moved into a "senior" home, (not a nursing home), and she has the best plant windows in her apartment. Bamboo is for "Good...

bsantora Were it High School, I would definitely say that you needed to go. Given your circumstances, I would just skip it were it me and give her a card and maybe a special gift. Good luck!

bsantora I'm very sorry for your troubles, but you're very lucky to not have children or personal property! I've been through 2 (ugly) divorces involving children AND property, and I know that things would not have gotten so bad had those factors not been in play. I...

bsantora I agree that this is an absolute awesome CD, but I still love Americaan Idiot just as much. I think I burned through 3 or 4 American Idiot CD's before I stopped playing it 10+ times a day, and I think I'm probably going to do the same thing with 21st Century...

Hey guys what are your thoughts on the age that it is legal for people to drink? In Germany it's 16. In Australia it's 18. In america it is 21. Do you think 21 is to old? Or do you think 16 is to young? Should there be a law? What...

bsantora When I was 18, the drinking age in the US was still 18. When my brother turned 18, the drinking age went up to 21, which was a bummer for him. I was already drinking by the time I was 15 or so and had no trouble getting alcohol. My brother's experience was the...
