So I finally decided to treat myself and get my very first Vera Bradley item after years of lusting after one. I noticed Amazon had a great selection, and as I had a $25 Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket, I decided on...

My neighbor must do something right as his garden always looks better than mine. I know he plants from seed so I was thinking instead of being the frugal person I am and maybe breakdown and buy some better seed. I usually buy the...

coffeegurl They do sell all kinds of seeds,terrariums,and greenhouses on amazon. They even sell seeding mats that get your seeds started before planting. Are you growing food or decorative plants? It also makes a huge difference what kind of potting soil you use.

This morning my dad asked me to buy an automatically pet feeder and I replied to him OK. Then he suddenly said if I had your ability, I would be in the street. That means to say if he were me, then he would be homeless. I don't...

coffeegurl Wow youless...where can I begin to think of the right words to say in this situation? I don't know your Dad, or your family for that matter. I can relate to you in this situation in a couple of ways. I haven't relied on my family since I graduated high...

I am not familiar with the fruit avocado since it is not an usual fruit growing in my country. All the avocados are imported. I noticed that there are two kinds of avocados in a supermarket. One is with the black skin, and the...

coffeegurl That IS expensive, but not surprised considering how far the fruit traveled. There have what is called "good" fat in them and are very nutritious. I like sprinkling a little salt on mine. When I was little, my Mom handed me a slice of avocado and I chocked on...

coffeegurl Also, you slice it open,remove the large seed and make long slices to place on top of a salad, or you can make a dip called"guacamole." Also, you can grow your own avocado tree from the seed. You get toothpicks and poke them into the side of the seed to...

So my sister went to a local store and bought some black dolls. My sister is white. When she got to checkout the woman at the register asked if she needed a gift receipt (thoughtful of her, I think). My sister said no thank you....

coffeegurl Yeah, she was mortified,basically. I mean, what are the odds. Of course this incident sparked a running family joke whenever white chocolate cravings erupted.

coffeegurl tooo funny! Thanks for the chuckle. I have a story as well. In the 80's the Nestle "Alpine White" chocolate bar was new and very popular. Actually, I don't see it around very much, do they still make it? Anyway, there we were in the grocery store when my...

coffeegurl Hi Hiddenwing. I notice you are from China, or IN China. Is China the foreign country, or somewhere else? Chinese really hate Americans(but they love our money) so if you're American, I recommend "pimp slapping" her into place and letting her know who's boss....

The youth of today, even our own children and siblings act in an non-appreciable level of little concern for the elderly lot. Most among the youth try to keep aside those elders with a grin refusing to agree with the supposedly...

coffeegurl I like your shades. Bono would love those! Where did you get them? Anyway, I wish I knew more about the conversation that happened with your friend. Some people are very rigid and don't understand any other way of thinking.
