What I miss about it is the references and the number in parenthesis... That way I know right away if someone joined or not. instead of having to second guess and have to go all the way to my earnings then referrals to see what's...

cryllie Good morning Shawchert! First let me say I have not visited for quite awhile and so now I barely know my way around. My first question was, where are my earnings? I guess I will have to go hunting a bit and see what there is to see. The tabs across the top...

cryllie I have a garage and an attic FULL, but don't feel very confident pricing my stuff. I really think your method of pricing as you sort is a SUPER hint, only, how do you know how much to ask? I"m way out of touch with current GSale prices.

Here's my best deal today. Actually it's the best deal I"ve gotten in quite a few days! I found, for $1.99, plus a little tax, the absolutely perfect work bag-and I"m a nurse, by the way. It's in perfect condition, has a large...

I know some make their noodles from scratch, and some use the noodles that you have to boil. There are some that make the sauce from scratch. I use Hunts Tomato Sauce, low fat cottage cheese, and ground beef, and I add lots of...

cryllie I don't pay extra for the no-boil noodles because I use a trick my friend Dixie taught me; she just adds about half a cup of water to her sauce, then after putting the dish together she covers it with plastic wrap and refrigerates overnight, then bakes as...

If you have an overweight child, should you nag at them about their weight? Were you ragged on over your weight and/or eating habits as a youngster, and has that had a negative effect on your adult life? What about a habitually...

cryllie So often we use food to express love; so when those we love and whose opinion we most value want to take that food away, it feels like they are taking the love away. Been there, felt that.

cryllie I really appreciate and agree with your first statement..."especially by their own parents" Yes! If we can't be kind and loving to our own children, who else will? I'm interested that you say one child of yours is heavier, because I assume of course that...

cryllie Mamagee, are you saying that you feel children get enough criticism from others, and that mother and home need to be safe and loving? I can only agree wiht my whole heart. Now if I could just get my mouth to perfectly obey! Do you mean, though, that I...

cryllie Thank you, Swaana! Oh, for sure nagging never helps, why is it that that is the first thing we try?? :) Modeling a healthy lifestyle, as you say, and concentrating on the positive aspects of being fit and strong is a really good reinforcer. I remember setting...

cryllie Congratulations on persevering and winning your fight against fat! I too struggled with this as a child, and I too still feel the scars from those long-ago wounds to the spirit. You are right, I think, that upset children eat too much; but do you think...

cryllie Why not have her make you a table runner, then, if you have an eat-in kitchen? It's a simple enough project and would look really sweet.

cryllie If you want to use that area to display baskets, you can always put up a shelf above the cupboards. Remove or prime and paint over your border. You can get shelf supports that either support from above or are hidden, either will work. Black up there by the...

cryllie I'm sorry, I know you spent a long time on them and truthfully your needlework is amazingly well done, but to me, they are a dated style and just counter clutter. I'm too practical, I'd just use a plastic cup or tray to hold that stuff, and plastic is easier...

Obviously you can only read one book at a time but what I mean is how many do you start and jump from one to the other. I usually have about 3 or 4 books that I'm reading and I wondered if this is unusual? Do most people only...

cryllie Oh, I'm so relieved to know I'm not the only one! I have three "upstairs-by-my-bed" books going, two downstairs books, and one in my car in case I decide to have lunch out and need something to read. If I fall asleep reading and my book slides down behind the...
