What is the strangest ice cream flavor you have ever heard of?

nonew3 @nonew3 (1941) • United States 29 Aug 08

One time I heard of a cucumber flavored ice cream but I was reluctant to try it. It just didn't seem that cucumbers and ice cream could go together. What is the strangest ice cream flavor you have ever heard of?

How do you feel about people giving flowers after you've lost a family member

Grandmaof2 @Grandmaof2 (7579) • Canada 10 Jun 08

How do you feel about people giving flowers after you've lost a family member? This doesn't impress me in the least. I come from a place in life that's called "Low On Cash" at most times and I think if you can't bring me a bouquet...

catskisses My views on funerals altogether are different from what seems to be the 'norm'. My belief system places very little importance on our body-shells once we leave them. Funerals in their entirety, imho, are useless to the departed and their value to the living is...

Frugal flea treatment for dogs.

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 15 Jun 08

My grandmother used to say that if you use cedar shampoo on your dog at bathtime, your dog won't have fleas. I don't have a dog, so I haven't tried the cedar shampoo yet. So, I'm using the cedar oil on my cat's bedding and...

suspenseful @suspenseful (40193) • Canada 6 May 08

The only recipe I know for yams is the kind when you smash them up and have marshmallows with them for Thanksgiving. I heard you can fry them, but cannot see that with sausages and chicken. That is the only meats I fry potatoes...

Well, my cat finally exploded, and now I have at least 3 new kittens, 2 are black and one is yellow, and I am not sure she is done yet, so there may be more. I was beginning to think she was never going to have them.

Would you assume a non-Christian hasn't read the Bible?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 13 Jan 08

catskisses I do not know who would be the grandfather for the Christian faith.. the term Mother Earth is more commonly used in animistic faiths (those who revere the forces of nature), so to use the Christian Father God and Mother Earth together is a sort of melding of...

Pagans, How do you cope with Christmas?

nancyrowina @nancyrowina (3850) 29 Nov 07

Christmas is meant to be a Christian Holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus. But it has increasingly become an excuse to decorate your house with lights, give each other presents, and get blind drunk. Being Pagan I'm skeptical...
