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

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.

nancyrowina @nancyrowina (3850) 29 Nov 07
