BudgetingDiva Oh, my gosh. I am constantly thinking about money. Paying the bills, saving, how to make more. I wish I had no worries but that has not happened yet. I mean, I have enough to pay my bills and everything. Mostly I worry about saving for the future and paying...

Chicken Soup - Not just for Colds

Amber @AmbiePam (92838) • United States 13 Jul 07

So I don't feel like going to the grocery store, so I go to the nearby Walgreens. I needed a few things, and I didn't want to get fast food for dinner, so I looked around for something at Walgreens. All of the stuff looked greasy...

BudgetingDiva I love chicken soup. Campbell's is my favorite brand but I buy Dollar General brand a lot too. It is cheaper. We eat chicken soup when we are in need of a quick meal or when I need some comfort food. I also love Campbell's bean with bacon and I love cream of...

Does it taste better to drink soda/pop from a metal can, or a plastic bottle?

Amber @AmbiePam (92838) • United States 6 Jul 07

First off, for everyone who wants to tell us that an oocasional soda is not good for our health, please don't. This is not a discussion to tell us what we are doing wrong. But if you have anything relevant to this topic, please do...

BudgetingDiva I, too, prefer cans. I do think it does taster colder. Now, when I was growing up we could get soda in glass bottles and that tastes the best of all. I can still find glass bottles occasionally and alway buy them when I can.

BudgetingDiva What I have noticed is that I am having a harder and harder time finding discussions I want to respond to. It seems that the subjects repeat themselves over and over. Or, everything is those infamous one-liners. I like myLot so I will just keep browsing for...

Origin of family name

Sherry12 @Sherry12 (2472) • United States 21 Jun 07

I'm working on my family tree and have hit a stumbling block with my great-grandfather. Can anybody tell me what country they think the name Zillebuehler, Zillabuehler, Zillebuihler, and any spelling close to that is from? I had...

BudgetingDiva At first glance, I just assumed it was a German name. It sounds very German. Since you have confirmed it is not, my next guess would be Dutch. Failing that, I would try something like Austrian. It almost has to have some sort of Germanic origin.

Vulcan (Iron Man)

SheliaLee @SheliaLee (2736) • United States 28 Jun 07

Do you play games for money?

Sherry12 @Sherry12 (2472) • United States 21 May 07

Are there any games that you play for prizes or money? I've played on pogo, but I don't think I have a very good chance of winning anything on there. I belong to worldwinner, which is fun but to win money you have to pay. Do you...

BudgetingDiva I don't play any games online for money. I just play for fun. A few sites do let you earn points and trade them in for gift cards. I have not made it even close to cashing in any points. But, it just just fun to play for entertainment.

Cheese Puffs or Cheese Curls?

jdoriot @jdoriot (32) • United States 23 Jun 07

Which do you prefer and why? Puffs or Curls? I prefer the curls because of the crunchiness and because my fingers are not extra orange after eating the curls! I also prefer cheeto brand...I guess I'm a cheese curl snob! lol!

emeraldisle @emeraldisle (13139) • United States 23 Jun 07
