countrygal57 I know I wouldn't last a day on only fruit. I love fruit, but it wouldn't satisfy me for long. I have tried a raw foods diet before and only lasted for one week. They eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and some grains. (Not raw meat). I also love cooked...

Define "myLot" in your own words

snam23 @snam23 (3157) • United States 3 Jan 10

MyLot is a very unique place, so unique it is sometimes hard to describe in one word or phrase. Sure, they have said it is a paid to post forum or a social networking site like Facebook and myspace, but that is only a small part...

How long pomeranians live

neftari1 @neftari1 (31) 9 Sep 08

I have a question. Does anyone know what the average age is for a pomeranian. I have heard quite a few things from the ridiculous, 3 years to 7 years to 10 years. I have two poms, one is 8 and the other is 5. The one that is 8 is...

2 responses

countrygal57 I heard that Poms live to be 15 years old. Don't allow your Pom to gain too much weight. We made that mistake and our little Pom passed away from a heart attack at 8 years old. We still miss her and that was more than a year ago.

sushihunk26 @sushihunk26 (196) • Philippines 23 Dec 09

We all search for the right answers and to do that, we need search engines. This is when google and yahoo become very useful. In my case, I use both search engines to narrow and widen my search. Which one do you use often?

countrygal57 For me it has to be Jif. It is the only peanut butter that I love. Also it has to be smooth, not crunchy. I tried other peanut butters, but nothing compares to Jif! Jif on toast, on almost any kind of bread, crackers, biscuits, or on the spoon. It doesn't...
