LTHelsom @LTHelsom (19) • United States 29 Jul 10

I will be traveling to Las Vegas soon with my husband. Does anyone have any ideas on must-do activities and how to do them cheaply? Our entertainment budget is around $200. Thanks for your advice! I'll be sure to tell you how...

casinocat I agree with stine1: You probably won't be bored! It's quite awesome just walking the strip and taking in the unique atmosphere - inside and outside all the properties. And seriously, this takes time! A few other freebies that come to mind are the Bellagio...

Our new puppy

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 20 May 10

Last fall, my 12-year old dog died. She was really cool and was my kids first dog. It was really hard, and although I knew I wanted another dog, I wanted to wait a year or so. Well, last month my husband wanted to get one so I...

casinocat Rusty is adorable! He certainly looks more like a Rusty than a Nanuk! His eyes are a beautiful color. I understand how hard it is to adopt a new fur-baby after you've lost a dear one. After Popeye, my 18 year old cat died, I didn't see how I could ever have...

casinocat Woohoo!!! Congrats on the win! Hmmm... if I won 4 tickets to a local amusement park, I'm sure I'd take my DH. Then I'd probably also invite DH's best friend and his girlfriend. Our usual outings usually include gambling, so it seems fitting to invite them to...

Could You Hold On a Sec…

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 1 May 10

I have a cousin that I just get a kick out of talking to. She has a red-hot temper and it seems like the minute she gets on the phone her kids go wild. They will yell, cry, slam doors, run around her, throw things or just “mom”...

casinocat My sister always has this sort of chaos going on around her when I'm on the phone with her. I don't get a laugh out of it though, because she won't say "hold on" or cover the mouthpiece... she will just start screaming at the kids.... right in my...

Fond memory of playing a board game

JonesKnows @JonesKnows (73) • Canada 20 Jan 09

One of my fond memories of playing board games is when I was young, my grandparents would take me and my two brothers to their house for two weeks in the summer, and one week in the winter. During our time with them we played...

casinocat I'm excited about the new dancers being paired with dancers from previous seasons. Sometimes pairs just didn't work out well, and a better dancer was kind of pulled down by their weaker partner. Being with a more experienced dancer who is not being judged...

casinocat The keys to my successful relationship (12 years together, and we have never had a fight) are: 1. Having and sharing the attitude that it's "all about us." Every couple should know that they are more important that anyone else in the world. 2. Refusing to...

Do movies still scare you?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 21 May 10

Family issues - how would you deal with this?

TickleMeBreathless @TickleMeBreathless (590) • United States 25 Nov 09

Any suggestion for a Christmas tree design?

yan_blue8 @yan_blue8 (1437) • Philippines 4 Dec 09

Since when does "No" mean "Talk me out of it"?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 28 Sep 09

Let me start off by going back almost 20 years... When I was raising my children, when I said "No" to something it meant "No - end of conversation." It didn't mean whine for it, or ask me in 10 minutes to see if I changed my mind,...

just say no

casinocat I know for a fact that for many parents, "NO" can mean any or all of the following: 1. It's up for debate. 2. Whine a little louder. 3. Ask me later. 4. Ignore me and do whatever you want. I know this because, although I have no children of my own, I...
