What I miss about the old mylot layout

Shawchert @Shawchert (1094) • United States 13 Jul 08

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.

I love Lasagna, and I always use the noodles that you do not have to cook

suspenseful @suspenseful (40193) • Canada 15 Apr 08

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...

Awful Wall paper border

Modestah @Modestah (11179) • United States 13 Mar 08

Our kitchen has a really awful (to me) looking wall paper border above the cupboards up to the ceiling. I would like to do something ELSE with that space. I think most of the area is hollow and I was thinking we could remove...

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...

Finished Projects

carolbee @carolbee (16230) • United States 3 Mar 08

These are the kinds of crafts I make and use everyday. I just finished the toothbrush holder this afternoon. It's on the far right in the picture. Because of the stitch used, it takes a very long time to complete just one little...

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...

How many books do you read at a time?

Foxfire1875 @Foxfire1875 (2010) 26 Feb 08

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...

one book or many

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...

when will oprah come to the west coast?

SHUGA81 @SHUGA81 (220) • United States 1 Mar 08

The reason I ask this question is because people on the east coast and midwest get free stuff from her. Not everybody can travel out there and sit in the audience and grab a free digital camera from under the chair. Does anyone...

free stuff

1 response

cryllie Oprah does not pay for all those freebies, are you kidding me? Those are donated by companies who what their products or names mentioned on the show...soft marketing, I think it's called. So it's not Oprah showing anybody some love, it's just business. You're...

cher913 @cher913 (25782) • Canada 22 Feb 08

dont forget the lyrics

cryllie I really really like this new show, too, and especially because they scroll the lyrics along with the music, since I am hearing impaired I am actually learning lyrics I always wondered about. Drift Away, for instance, there was one word I always missed and it...

Celebrity Apprentice

patgalca @patgalca (18355) • Orangeville, Ontario 18 Dec 07

Has anyone seen the preview for this upcoming season? Can these celebrities actually be worthy of working for Donald Trump? And since when is Omorosa a celebrity? She is a former Apprentice competitor. Seems like she will...

cryllie I agree, Gene Simmons and Omarosa are kinda bottom-of-the-barrel choices; although maybe they were thinking to appeal to a wider audience, and with Omarosa, definitely will grab those who watch her just to remind ourselves how much we detest her...not?...

What will you do if your child is too lazy ?

Mamagee @Mamagee (392) • Malaysia 13 Feb 08

I have a son age 8 years old. My son has a problem to wake up early in the morning for school. Every morning I have to take him to the bathroom and give him a bath, put on his trousers and shoes. He knows what to do, but he is too...

cryllie okay, it's just plain time for some tough love here; he's beginning a very bad habit and learning negative character traits this way, and the fix is simple; sit him down and explain that he is more than old enough to get himself up and ready for school on...

What is it??

creematee @creematee (2810) • United States 6 Feb 08

Hi all! I'm hoping to find someone who can help me figure out what this little tool is. My sister found it in a bunch of fabrics she purchased at a garage sale, and gave it to me, thinking I would know. Well, I don't. This little...

cryllie I"m fairly sure this is a stitching guide that would screw into your sewing machine feed plate and help you sew straight seams on a quilt or comforter. The pointed end would follow the previously-sewn line and thus the new stitch line would be straight and...

My son has RSV-am I a bad mother?

tamararacine @tamararacine (268) • United States 16 Jan 08

Well, my son got called out of Daycare yesterday for a fever. Since the fever didn't break last night and his asthma kicked in really bad I brought him to the doctors today. After several tests I was told he had RSV and with his...

cryllie You are most certainly NOT a bad mom! There is no guilt in a random thought, and anyone with your financial stress would have had the same kind of thought. It's not worth you stressing over it; you have to accept that you were just looking for a way out of the...

cryllie Hello, and here's a new pair of running shoes. Even married parents of three struggle with these issues. There is no easy, pat answer; it all comes down to priorities and choices, and it's all on your shoulders to BE the parent and set the limits. Family has...
