lumenmom @lumenmom (1986) • United States 9 Jun 12

caver1 Well I need to get back in the habit of walking. I was walking 3 - 4 times a week last summer, but during the winter I get lazy. It is very hard to get back in the habit. I did get out and walk on Monday this week. It probably would help to have a walking...

Okay - So, I'll admit it - I'm old enough to have watched the show back in the 1960's. I did not watch the reboot in the 1990's - sorry, but it just wasn't the same... besides, it was on when I was busy... ANYWAY... I'm...

caver1 I think what footwear people wear to work will often depend on the type of work they do. For some workers there are safety concerns that require closed toed shoes. Other people may have more freedom in wearing the type of shoe they like most. I work in an...

caver1 I must say that I'm not very tech-savvy. My hubby takes care of all things computer related. I have a cell phone, but not a smart phone. I would rather curl up with a good book than with a nook or kindle. Old-fashioned? Yep.

Importance of Being Ernest

Dominique @dodo19 (47338) • Beaconsfield, Quebec 21 Sep 08

I saw the 2002 movie before I actually read the play. What is going between the characters is somewhat odd, but Oscar Wilde added humor in it and made the entire situation hilarious, or funny, to say the least. It is very comical....

caver1 I don't sew often at home. But 4 days a week I work doing alterations, so I do sew often. Maybe because my work is sewing I don't think of it as fun to sew anymore. At home I like to knit when I have the time.
