Knitting a facecloth

Elizabeth White @Masihi (4413) • Canada 13 Sep 11

I'm addicted to knitting dishcloths, but I thought to myself, why can't I knit a facecloth? Like a washcloth I can wash my body with in the bathtub? So I did...and I knitted up to 60 or so stitches (dishcloths only go up to about...

canadiandreamsbig I like to make cloths as well. I crochet them with cotton yarn. So far, I've mostly made dishcloths. I have given a few as gifts and my family seems to love them. I've crocheted bath mitts and they work very well and they keep their softness well. Anything...

canadiandreamsbig I have heard of eating cooked monkey brains before,this is the first time I've heard of the brain being eaten whilst the beast is alive. I love eating tasty animals, but that sounds awful! First, there's the cruelty of the practice. Then, how can this be...

canadiandreamsbig I've seen this question before on Mylot. I find it very weird. Of course I take all my clothing off to shower! How else would I get washed properly? If I'm at a public pool and a shower is required before I go in the water, then I rinse off with my swimsuit...

Gomer Magtibay @magtibaygom (4858) • Philippines 3 Aug 11

I have a pet cat here who just gave birth to supposed to be four beautiful healthy kittens. This mother cat is already the fourth cat that I have adopted as pet since I started owning pet cats, a daughter of my previous cats. She...

canadiandreamsbig Rather than worrying about the cat raising kittens, get her sterilized! Then there won't be any kittens to worry about.

Did You Know This?

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85288) • Valdosta, Georgia 11 Jul 11

So my friend is absolutely obsessed with being clean and she is definitely a neat freak. With herself and her daughter. Her baby kept getting sick and she didn't understand why at all. She told the doctor I keep everything so neat...

canadiandreamsbig I'm a Mom of 2 kids. Constant cleaning kills the good germs as well as the bad. Very young babies need their pacifiers, bottles and such sterilized. Yes, clothing, bedding and diapers should be laundered regularly. That's about it, really. Regular housework...

Bannybanzie @Bannybanzie (1397) • Philippines 12 Jul 11

Okay, I know you'll say NO. But I'm having trouble falling asleep. It's 4:00 a.m. now but I have not even taken a nap. I went to bed at 9:00 p.m. and I'm still awake. I can't sleep until 2:00 a.m. due to the pain I felt in my...

canadiandreamsbig If you have pain and sleep issues, smoke or eat a little cannabis. It'll get rid of the pain and help you sleep. There's also a drug called Cesamet or Nabilone which is a synthetic cannabinoid (cannabinoids occur naturally in the human body, we're born with...

Do you have a tattoo or want to have one?

Rick1950 @Rick1950 (1576) • Lima, Peru 13 Jul 11

The days when tattoos were only for sailors, prisoners and rock musicians are long gone. Tattoos have become socially acceptable and worn by many with pride. Many musicians from the rock scene have tattoos, but also students and...

canadiandreamsbig The human body is a wonderful canvas. I have 4 tattoos so far. I love each one of them! I plan to get as many as I can. Contrary to popular belief getting a tattoo DOES NOT hurt that much. I have a large celtic cross that takes up most of my upper left arm. I...

How has your taste in music changed over the years?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 17 Jul 11

I found one of my mix CDs from a few years ago and it reminded me of all of these different songs that I had just about forgotten about. I used to be big into pop as a kid (backstreet boys all the way! lol) and got into rock &...

canadiandreamsbig Good topic! I enjoy everything from jazz to punk to metal. I can't stand rap or hip hop and have never cared for country. Concerning changes over the years, the older I get, the heavier I like my music. I listen to Rob Zombie and Megadeth now. I've become a...

What dog should I get

enicole94 @enicole94 (103) 18 Jul 11

When I move into my apartment in New York I want a small dog to stay around the house. I just don't know what type of small dog to keep inside. I was thinking of maybe a Yorkie or a Shih-tzu but I don't want a poodle. I just need...

canadiandreamsbig I'd recommend a cat for an apartment or 2. They are great company and you don't have to walk them when the weather is bad. I don't like small dogs at all because people tend to baby them too much and they end up being nasty little animals. Cats are pretty easy...

canadiandreamsbig I'm sorry to hear you are suffering so much! I'm Canadian, so if I have a severe migraine that lasts that long,I go and get a shot at the ER. I don't know if that's an option for you or not. I also take pills prescribed by my doctor to PREVENT migraine...

canadiandreamsbig I a word, Cannabis. I have tried many of the Trptan meds myself. Zomig is one that works for me, although it makes me very tired. My doctor gives me samples of Axert so I don't have to buy it. It's very expensive! But if the triptan meds don't Do it, smoking...

canadiandreamsbig I eat a lot of crackers too as a substitute for chips. We usually buy several boxes of snack crackers when we grocery shop. I also LOVE vegetable cocktails such as V8. I can drink a litre a day of the stuff. I also eat a lot of tomatoes and hard cheeses.

canadiandreamsbig Well, it depends on what's keeping me awake. I have some pain issues, so if pain is keeping me awake, I medicate until I can fall asleep. If it's something else, I'll read and snuggle with a cat. There's nothing like a warm, purring cat to help me relax! Of...
