Do REAL people truly eat their dinners in "courses"?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 17 Apr 07

I was watching a show the other day and this family seriously dined with individual courses. I started to wonder if I'm strange or they were? LOL I basically have a meat, veggie, starch and sometimes a dessert but not always. I...

EdwardF I can't ever remember having a dinner in courses unless a course was not done yet. I like my whole meal at once. Even if I have a salad or soup.

Have you ever suffered panic attacks?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 19 Apr 07

The Today Show had a piece this morning on panic attacks and how millions of people have them. I have had them and it was a scary thing to feel so out of control of your body. They can be a horrible thing to experience. Have...

Will you go see Dirty Dancing in the theaters when it is re-introduced?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 19 Apr 07

I've heard that they are putting new scenes that have previously been cut and some other extra stuff, so I suppose it would be worth paying to see once. I'm not so sure I'd pay to see something I own on DVD though! I'm a huge...

How do you "freshen up" a room and make it smell good?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 23 Apr 07

I love to use the various potpourri products, etc. out there and burn candles to freshen up the scent of a room. I recently found this recipe for room freshener and think I'll give it a try. Sounds fairly inexpensive as long as I...

EdwardF We use potpourri and candles to freshen the air like you. We use Frabreeze on our couch and chairs. I don't like the smell at first, but in an hour or two, it smells real good. Your recipe looks good, but I think I'm too lazy to make it...Lol.

How mylot will save me hundreds of dollars....

ironstruck @ironstruck (2298) • Canada 17 Mar 07

EdwardF I also agree. I'm not going to spend eight hours in a day on mylot for what they pay. I can find better ways to spend my time and I don't just throw away my money. I wouldn't be saving anything.

How do I get ink out of a load of laundry?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 15 Mar 07

The load has been washed and dried and then we discovered ink all over everything. I've heard that hairspray works, has anyone tried it?

EdwardF Wow...tough break. Hair spray will remove ink from some materials. We use to use it to remove prices from cans of food when they still priced it before scanners. I haven't ever heard of it being used on clothes though. Good luck... . your friend

Speaking of spam... have you ever eaten it?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 12 Mar 07

Ok, how many have eaten Spam? Spam is a spiced ham that comes in a can. The way I've had it is fried and put on bread for a sandwich. When I was a kid it was a really cheap "meat" to purchase and my mom made it frequently. I love...
