Instant mashed potatoes: Do you like them?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 22 Dec 09

I know several people who absolutely refuse to eat instant mashed potatoes. They will only eat mashed potatoes made from fresh potatoes. I've even seen a couple of these people make a scene in a buffet-style restruant because the...

Would you apply for a job posted on Craigslist?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 7 Dec 09

I always hear about Craigslist, but I only personally know a couple of people who have used it, usually for buying/selling things and apartment hunting. One of them uses it to apply for jobs, and his experience has been positive...

Leopard, tiger, zebra, etc.: Do you like to wear animal print?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 19 Nov 09

Animal print shows up on a lot of ladies' clothing. I see it on purses, shirts, pants, shoes, pantyhose, bathrobes - everywhere! I suppose it is meant to make the wearer feel wild or sexy maybe, I'm not sure. Perhaps it is a throw...

Love or hate them: How do you feel about the holidays?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 19 Nov 09

Call me a Scrooge, but I hate the holiday season. Every year I dread its start during the third week of November and look forward to February 15th, when it's finally finished. When I was very little, I loved all of the...

How do you heat your house? Gas, electric, radiator, wood, other?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 16 Nov 09

I woke up to a cold house this morning. It was so warm when I went to bed that I left the windows open all night. A cold front must have blown in, because it is freezing today (or at least really chilly)! So it looks like it's...

Have you ever made your own soda (pop)?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 8 Nov 09

Earlier today, I read an article recommending five small kitchen items to help you save money on food costs. I already have and frequently use four of them (coffee maker, bread machine, water filter, and slow cooker). I'd never...

How often do you wash your dog?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 8 Nov 09

I have to admit, I do not wash my dogs as often as I should. When I had a Chihuahua, she was easy to wash in the bathtub, and I did it about once a week. Now I have much larger dogs (one is a Great Dane!) and putting them in the...

Have you ever painted a mural?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 8 Nov 09

I'm currently working on painting my fourth mural! I love doing this sort of thing. The first two were outside on the sides of buildings for a florist and a church, giant yellow tulips and Jesus' hands, respectively. I didn't...

What types of blogs do you read?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 29 Oct 09

Gardening, art, and sustainability blogs are my favorites, and I especially like those with plenty of pictures and well written articles. I've also found some good cooking and health blogs. Most times, it is easier for me to find...

From where do you get most of your reading material?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 18 Oct 09

If you buy your books, do you order them online, or do you go to a regular store? If you get them for free, do you get them from the library, trade with friends, or something else? If you are a hard copy newspaper reader, do you...

Your choice: shower poof, loofah, cloth, other?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 13 Aug 09

Hi! :) While reading through another discussion, I saw that a lot of folks were saying that bar soaps could be unhygenic, because you touch and reuse it over and over. This made me think about the way folks choose to scrub up in...

History of criss-cross marks on PB cookies?

celestialbloom @celestialbloom (204) • United States 5 Aug 09

I made a huge batch of peanut butter cookies last night, and even while I was pressing the fork on top of the dough balls to make the hatch marks, I was wondering: why do we do this to PB cookies? I don't see these marks on any...
