Do you use sugar substitutes, and if so, which ones?

ChewySpree @ChewySpree (1832) • United States 10 Jan 09

For many years, I consumed Nutrasweet (Aspertame) without concern. Then Splenda came along and I used that a lot too. Now I have read that both of those can be potentially harmful. I have recently discovered Truvia (made from...

Tattoo?? Where and what is it? Any regrets?

OOHCUTE2340 @OOHCUTE2340 (761) • United States 10 Jan 09

I got a tattoo in my early 20's, I got it place on my chest where I can show or hide it, depending on the dip of my dress or top. Its simple but a really pretty stemmed rose with red heart petals, it has faded a bit over the years...

ChewySpree I have one on my lower back. It's a half-moon face in profile with "Nemo me impune lacessit" written around it. That's a Latin phrase from a Poe short story that basically means, "No one wounds me with impunity." I have no regrets at all! I love this one but I...

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 10 Jan 09

ChewySpree Congratulations! It really is amazing how quickly babies grow, and then they're no longer babies. My daughter is 20 months old now. When she was about 1 month old, I started taking a picture of her every day when she was laying on the floor (I took the pic...

What product can I use to kill Juniper?

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 28 Apr 07

My builder planted three I think they are called blue Rug Juniper. I have them in my front yard, and absolutely hate them. I am looking for something to kill them, if you have any suggestions please share.

ChewySpree Round up should kill them - have you tried that? The best thing to do would be dig them up by the roots though, if you can do that. Is you spray round-up it will kill the grass too, but if you just dig them up you should be able to replant something else.

I love cooking but being a student living in a boarding house where I'm not allowed to cook, gives me lots of frustrations-- that may be a bit exagerrated=)... Anyway I love desserts the most so if anyone knows any recipe of a...

Even though you have a cat ...if you could would you have a dog as well?

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 1 Apr 07

I've had cats all my life...yet to be honest I really wish I could have a dog as well. Thing is I don't know how my two cats would take to a dog--perhaps if I was interested in a small dog it might not be a problem...thing is my...

ChewySpree Oh yes, I have always had both at the same time, and it's never been a problem. Right now we have 3 cats and 3 dogs, but 2 of the dogs live outside in the yard (they're bigger outdoor dogs). So my little dog is in the house with the three cats and they all get...

I need some advice from cat owners about taking care of a cat.

kgwat70 @kgwat70 (13387) • United States 2 Apr 07

ChewySpree The good news is that cats are very independent and easy to take care of (compared to other animals). At a minimum, you can just give it water and dry food to each when it's hungry and let it out to use the bathroom, if that's what it is used to doing....

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 18 Mar 07

I was just reading the responses to a discussion I started on another forum about shopping at Walmart and someone said that those that shop at Walmart have a lack good morals. I thought I was just being frugal.

ChewySpree I haven't been inside a Wal-mart in over 5 years, but that is a personal choice for me and I don't think badly of people that do shop there. My primary reasons for not shopping there are that my last experience there was very bad (involving their customer...

ChewySpree I am excited that it's getting close to the broadcast dates for the new shows, but I'm really disappointed that it's coming to an end and there are so few shows left. I do think it's time for them to hang up their hats though, so to speak, because the earlier...

ChewySpree Overall, I like the concept of the show, but I am disappointed in this season. I think the idea of the tent has backfired and it isn't adding much at all to the show. I do like the interaction between Trump and the losing team in the boardroom, though, that is...

Why Sanjaya still on the block?

misyaamin @misyaamin (67) • Malaysia 25 Mar 07

I just can't understand how Sanjaya still there and not been booted out. Sad to see Stephanie out from the competition so soon. Just too early for her to leave American Idol. We still haven't seen her full potential. Too bad that...

ChewySpree Poor Sanjaya. All the negative comments from the judges and negative press have caused people to cast sympathy votes for him. He shows up on the website "Vote for the Worst" each week too, and all the news shows talk about him and no one else on the show.

Who think the girls are better than the boys this year?

Joslyn77 @Joslyn77 (374) • United States 7 Mar 07

The boys are just not bringing their game to the stage this year. I think the girls are so much better. There are four of them I really like. I voted for two of them to night. Chris and Melinda. What do you think?

5 responses

ChewySpree I agree, I think the girls are much more talented and interesting than the guys. I wish they wouldn't force us to have equal numbers of girls and boys going into the top 12 - I think it should be based on talent. If the top 12 had ended up being all female...

ChewySpree It all depends on the person that created the HIT. That person should go in and review the results then approve or decline the work, but if they don't and it just sits, the default for automatic approval is 30 days. The person that creates the HIT can change...
