I am really fascinated by upcycled items. For those who do not know what this is, it is something is made from an item that is totally different than what the item was originally intended. It is typcially done to keep from placing...

crazynurse Wow Gerty, you are a busy lady! What did you do with the assorted tin cans? I have seen the crocheted bags made from plastic bags, they are awesome. I wish I had time to do this type of thing. One day....when I retire...there is so much I want to do!!

I got a letter from my voice teacher that she wants post-dated checks. Now I have never liked to write post-dated checks. It is not that I would not have any money to pay each one in time because well I do get a monthly pension....

crazynurse Oh, I see. You seem to be a very orderly person who keeps fantastic records! That is an interesting strategy that the teacher has to assure that students come back for future lessons rather than go out with friends and party!

I can now say that I have heard it all! Apparenlty there is now (only available in Japan at the current time)underwear that when worn can help one burn extra calories! The underwear is made with a non-elastic material and also...

crazynurse I agree with you 100%, the best way to burn fat is to eat less (and healthy) and exercise more. It is tried and true. All of these fad ideas are just that...fads!

crazynurse The information I heard was on the radio and whether or not the garment is washable wasn't mentioned. I can't imagine how hot and uncomfortable it must be! I would rather just use the steps a few more times at work or something to burn that few extra calories!...

crazynurse Now you know, you could have something there Gerty!!! You should market it, there would definitely be some who would be willing to try it. I would be far more willing to try your teeny tiny weights on my fingers and wrist weights when I type than to wear hot,...

crazynurse It doesn't seem worth it to me given the cost of the underwear! There surely should be cheaper ways to burn that few calories!

crazynurse I too am skeptical of the benefit of the underwear. You are correct that one cannot 'spot reduce' or lose fat in a specific spot with particular exerices. All one is doing is tightening the muscles in that area which will make that area appear smaller. To lose...

What is your opinion? Is spanking a loving or harmful form of discipline?

crazynurse The situation you describe is exactly what makes me wonder if it is a good or bad practice. I know that for me, it was never bad enough to even remotely be abusive. However, the point you make about mixed messages is sooooo correct. You tell the child not to...

crazynurse Oh what a great idea to do the drains at the same time. I had not thought about vinegar as fabric softner. I have some towels that no matter how often I wash them there is a sour smell that will come out the next time one uses the towel. I hate to get rid of...

crazynurse Oh my. Thank you!! You are a wealth of information! I hope that will help the water spots too. I assume they are due to the hard water. I keep vinegar on hand for many uses too, just didn't think of throwing it in the dishwasher! I don't know why I didn't...

crazynurse Her coffee was the best I've ever had so perhaps you are correct. Never, no matter how many cups I had, did I get heartburn from her coffee!

crazynurse That makes perfectly good sense Gerty,as the coffee she made was so smooth and delicious. The rest of use would make coffee using the same can of cofee and same water and ours would not be as good! A RAW EGG?!?! Oh my!! I suppose I shouldn't knock it until...

crazynurse I know what you are trying to say tessa. One can spank lightly or one can 'beat' a child. There is a big difference and it can easily be abuse if one spanks a child too hard.
