conkeller449 Marquita, I want to know how to start discussions. I have the thoughts and questions, I just don't know how to start them. I can respond, got that down pat. How do you open discussions? I tried searching for the answer yesterday and got no where.

Do you stuff?

lilybug @lilybug (21107) • United States 10 Nov 08

I have always heard that stuffing a turkey with stuffing is actually bad for you. I have never stuffed a bird before. I hear about people doing it all the time though. Do you stuff your turkey or do you cook the stuffing...

conkeller449 If you have never stuffed a turkey you must do it at least once. It is the best stuffing of all. You don't need the gravy to moisten turkey stuffing. Stuff the turkey right before time to put it in the oven. DO NOT STUFF THE TURKEY THE NIGHT BEFORE. The...

conkeller449 Do you have a Wal-Mart where you live? Their produce bags are green. My stuff lasts a good while in those. Talk to the produce manager of the store that you do shop at. Get his opinion. Hopefully he will be old enough and schooled enough to know what you are...

conkeller449 I talk to myself when I drive. I guess it sounds like I am talking to other drivers to my kids and they call it rage. Far from it. If I hear someone beep I say, "Alright, have patience back there." I let someone cut in front of me, I motion and say "Come...

Would you give your house keys to contractors ...

maddysmommy @maddysmommy (16230) • United States 10 Nov 08

conkeller449 I stay at home, also, but I would not let my keys out. Or leave the door unlocked. Since you are home could you offer to be the sit-in that your neighbors can trust? They give you the keys. You unlock when it is time. It would save them $85.00 and the stress...

Do you burn incense?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 9 Nov 08

I do. Although I find that the smell is too strong while it's actually burning but I like the scent it leaves after. What I do is light a stick then leave the room and do something else while it's burning. I am also picky with...

conkeller449 I burn incense, also. Patchouli is my favorite. I like sandalwood too. I just learned about nag champa at the Renaissance Festival. I also like candles. I have a candle warmer and a patchouli soy candle. I use the soy on my hands as a lotion.

conkeller449 Time and attention. Praises and encouragement. As a mother of 3 teens and as a one time teen myself, I think I can speak from the heart on this one. Sure they like the shiny new stuff. Electronic gadgets, games, clothing, ipods, etc. But some of the best times...

leenie50 @leenie50 (3992) • United States 10 Nov 08

conkeller449 that's me too. If I had a good picture of myself I don't know how to put it at my site. As it is I have made a few comments here and there. I have fun doing it. But that is all I know how to do. I don't have any friends because I don't know how to make or keep...

conkeller449 Yes, this is tragic. No, there is no excuse for taking the children with her. But stop and think a minute. She is in a country far from family and friends. Does she speak the language fluently enough to be able to make friends here? 8 years of marriage....

conkeller449 I'm not divorced but I may have an idea for you. First, how old is your daughter? Old enough to do chores around the house to earn allowance? Let her make her own money and let HER do the buying. It is amazing what $5.00 at the Dollar Store can buy. I have did...
