chargoans I myself am not a cancer survivor, nor have I had the misfortune of "dealing" with a family member with cancer, so I have not participated yet though this year (in NC, USA) I am planning on attending one. It isn't until May, but it's on my calendar. The...

tantal25 @tantal25 (838) • United States 18 Nov 07

chargoans I only carry a cigarette case, but in it you will find my driver's license, business cards, a little cash, a pack of Newport 100s and normally a lighter. My hubby refers to my pack as my life force. lol

What would you do,

OURDEW @OURDEW (4809) • United States 17 Dec 07

What would you do if you were taking a walk and happened to look down and find a wallet. In the wallet there was $636.00, a bunch of credit cards, and a drivers license and there was also a cell phone receipt with a phone number...

chargoans If I had found the wallet, I would have returned it, no questions asked! I have found a money bag before with over $2000 in it. A store employee who had just closed their store for the night, was supposed to make a deposit, but failed to make it to her car...

Gift Wrapping.

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 5 Nov 06

I am not sure that I will buy wrapping paper to wrap my Christmas gifts this year. It is not the cost mind you, as you can get wrapping paper at your local dollar store. It is the amount of time it takes to tear through your...

chargoans My family expects wrapped gifts as opposed to decorative box lids. :-) I attempted one year to only decorate the tops of boxes, so that I could stretch my low paper supply and everyone complained because they didn't have anything to carefully unwrap. It's a...

chargoans I will do anything not to have to pay full price for a roll of wrapping paper! I reuse papers from gifts that I receive each year. The closest I have come to making my own gift wrap was by using a brown paper bag and then stamping with appropriate designs,...

Do you reuse wrapping papers?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 2 Dec 07

Christmas is just about 3 weeks away... how time flies! You know, when we get gifts from friends, they normally come wrapped. Well, every gift should be wrapped where possible to add that personal touch and "mystery". :P The...

chargoans I will take very special care to open my own packages so that I can reuse them! If anyone else in my family receives a gift with a paper that I like, I will inform the person to try not ripping rigth through the paper. Sometimes it works, others it doesn't....

Do you leave the spoon/stirrer in the cup?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 5 Dec 07

Put in the powder. Slap in the milk. Pour some water. And then stir. This discussion is not about stirring clockwise or counterclockwise. We are beyond that now lol. Instead, I want you to imagine yourself making a cup of...

chargoans I am like your friend, I must have the spoon removed! It will serve no purpose to me and just becomes something else I am responsible for. :-) If I am at home, it is left in the sink. If I am out and about, I will simply lay it on a napkin. Bur after the...

My kitten is always hungry. What should I do?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 29 Nov 07

Our kitten is formerly an outdoor cat. She lived briefly with her mom outdoors,before becoming a full time indoor cat. And, she seems to love being indoors very much. But, there is one big problem. We have two other full grown...

chargoans I agree with the first responder to your discussion, it sounds as if kitty may have contracted one of those pesky worms! Take kitty to a vet soon to determine. It's a simple and affordable fix. If no worms are present, the vet will also help you determine...

Do you wear your shoes indoors, as in inside your home?

Aoi Hana @swirlz (3136) • Philippines 1 Oct 07

Or do you use slippers, or go barefoot? Here at home, we use slippers. I'm not really comfortable being barefoot because the floor is cold, and dirt sticks to my feet. We don't use shoes indoors too, because we're bringing dirt...

chargoans Once I cross the threshhold of my home, I kick off my shoes...always! I prefer to go barefoot, but sometimes the weather won't allow that, so I am forced to wear socks for warmth. Otherwise I would be barefoot and care free.

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 26 Nov 07

Where do you do your Christmas shopping at? Not just presents but decorations, cards, whatever else you buy for the holiday. Do you prefer one store over another? In the town we live in, I get to choose from 2 stores Walmart or...

chargoans I usually frequent the dollar stores for my cards, some gifts and wrapping paper, especially after the holiday so I can stock up for the following year. Most of my gifts are handmade (crocheted), so the yarn may come from WalMart or one of the craft stores....

chargoans A frugal at heart, I don't spend much over $200 on Christmas gifts. I make most of my gifts, such as crocheted items for the females and hobby-specific gifts for the guys. My daughter is the only one we spend money on, especially now since she is a teenager. I...
