Coffee?

CanadaGal @CanadaGal (4304) • Canada 15 Oct 09

Do you drink coffee? What are the statistics on coffee nowadays? Is it good for you? Is it bad for you? Is it another one of those things that "in moderation, it's okay"? If you drink it, how do you take it? How often do you drink...

When did you say "I love you"?

CanadaGal @CanadaGal (4304) • Canada 9 Jul 09

I'm wondering if there's an average time frame when a person "knows" that they're "in love" with someone. What do you think? Are you or have you ever been in love? Do you remember how long it was before you knew you truly loved...

I have 8 year old twins, and twin A has some fine motor and gross motor issues. He's been to see some paediatricians and various doctors and agencies here in town. He's brilliant, and it's so sad to see how frustrated he gets when...

How does the smell of freshly cut grass affect you?

CanadaGal @CanadaGal (4304) • Canada 6 May 09

Spring arrived finally! And in fact, it's almost feeling like summer too. Today, in my townhouse complex, the hired gardeners are mowing the lawns. I guess this means they'll be here every Wednesday until late fall. Although...

Do you collect anything "geeky"?

CanadaGal @CanadaGal (4304) • Canada 29 Apr 09

I am a bit of a geek. I have been told so by a few people, and I'm fine with it. I consider it a compliment. After all, a general description of a geek is someone who is extremely enthusiastic on a particular subject. This...

CanadaGal @CanadaGal (4304) • Canada 24 Apr 09

I have a new re-addiction. This time, it's a game on Play Station 2 called "Singstar". It's a karaoke game, with microphones, and you sing songs for points. You can sing with one or more players, just for fun or for points,...

Have you ever taken an enneagram test? Do you find it to be an accurate description of who you are in general? What personality type are you? Or do you think it's all a bunch of fodder? If so, why? Here is a link to a free test...

My older son is 9 1/2 yrs old, and he's questioning the existence of Santa Claus. He's convinced that I buy things for him and his brothers all year long, and hide the gifts until Christmas. I've told him that children who don't...

What do you think of "pork rinds"?

CanadaGal @CanadaGal (4304) • Canada 30 Oct 08

I am living the low carbohydrate lifestyle, and love it! But one thing I was missing was the "crunch" of a snack, such as potato chips. I've found myself cheating by eating potato chips, which in the end, only made me feel...
