NerdyAwesomeSauce @NerdyAwesomeSauce (109) • United States 1 Feb 11

I'm making a stop-motion whiteboard video for this guy that involves a couple. Half of the video is just pictures showing them doing stuff together that most couples would do. So far I've thought up going to the movies, going to...

I am searching for new ways of using my tomatoes

marguicha @marguicha (223720) • Chile 1 Feb 11

Of all my crops this first year of gardening for veggies, tomatoes were by far the greatest success. I have learned a lot, but I will put that into practice next year. Even with the tomatoes I learned too late that I should have...

cbchops Drying tomoatoes is super easy. It takes a lot of time, but it's easy to do. I normally dry romas, but you can dry any kind. First decide if you want skin off or on. Either is fine. If you want the skin off drop tomatoes in boiling water for about 30 seconds,...

marguicha @marguicha (223720) • Chile 5 Jan 11

Would any of you tell me what to do with them? I will eat on in milk shake (I love it that way), and I will also eat it in juice and fruit salad. But, is there such a thing as mango jam? Mango are imported where I live but those...

cbchops Your mangos are probably long gone now, but here's an idea for the future. We live in Florida & have mangos quite often. My daughters love mango smoothies. We blend yogurt, organe juice, mangos, and ice in a blender. It makes a great summer treat. It's healthy...

I have been into a study on students' preferences on the qualities or traits that they want for in a teacher in order for them to learn effectively. So my question goes like this, "If you would become a teacher, what qualities...

The difference between a housewife and a homemaker.

RULizzie @RULizzie (100) • United States 31 Jan 11

I am a well educated person that has chosen to stay home with my two young boys. It strikes me that there is a symantic difference between a housewife and a homemaker. I think that I started as a housewife. I mainly took care of...

cbchops Though they are often used equivocally, I think there is a distinction between the two words. In my opinion, it's kind of like the words mother and mommy. Any woman can become a mother, but not all mothers deserve to be called mommy. A housewife is merely a...

ruthsm @ruthsm (222) • Thailand 30 Jan 11

As our physical body needs food regularly, so also our spiritual body. How often and what food do you feed your spirit?

cbchops Jesus himself made this comparison when he was tempted by Satan on the mountain. He told us exactly what our "spiritual food" is -- the Word of God, the Bible. Just like you eat natural food everyday, you should take in spiritual food every day by reading the...

What does the tooth fairy do with all of the teeth?

RULizzie @RULizzie (100) • United States 31 Jan 11

My 8 year old son recently wrote a note to the tooth fairy upon loosing his second tooth about what she does with all of the teeth she collects. The response that he got was that she send them up to the sky to become stars, so he...

cbchops What a great response! I haven't crossed this bridge with my girls yet, but definitely will remember this when the times comes. At Christmas my oldest wanted to know why she couldn't eat more cookies since Santa got to eat all the cookies that all of the boys...

cbchops I lucked out in this area with our family. We just happened to live 1500 miles away from them. Both of our parents did come stay with us for a week at a time shortly after we brought each of our girls home though. I think I may have been a little more tolerant...

cbchops My husband has to be the best at this. I don't know how in the world he does it! He's talked his way out of so many tickets. Of course, I must add that not every officer falls for his charm. He's gotten his fair share of tickets too. The ultimate day for him...

What did Jesus meant by saying, "Love your neighbor?" Who is your neighbor?

dem131 @dem131 (19) • United States 6 Jan 11

Many people get confused on this. Some people think of neighbors as someone who lives near us, but Jesus meant differently.

cbchops Jesus sure did mean it differently. This is the ultimate "Golden Rule." Jesus was telling us to be selfless, to love and treat everyone else just as we want to be loved and treated. Just think how much better a place the world would be if more people would...
