Changing your kitchen sponge

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 3 Feb 09

I like to change my kitchen sink sponge every so often because I hear that they contain a lot of bacteria due to moisture. Do you change you sponges on a regular basis also?

ehlana88 I don't use a sponge. I use washable dish cloths that I change every day. I buy them really cheap in large quantities at places like Dollar General and such and each day I through them in the washer or in the to be washed pile and get clean ones. Usually I do...

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28953) • Canada 15 Feb 09

A question for both genders. Ladies. How do you feel about changing your name to your husband's, if he has an ex wife (or more) who has that name? I didn't believe in the tradition of name change to begin with, but even if...

ehlana88 I currently have my exhusband's name. I will hopefully have my boyfriends last name. I chose to change my name and I chose NOT to change my name after the divorce. It doesn't bother me sharing a name with the new wife because I am most certainly not the Mrs....

ehlana88 See that's the reason people feel so disconnected. Why is chatting up someone at the supermarket a bad idea? If someone can't reach a shelf or is struggling trying to pick the right one why not talk to them? Most of my friends that I count as close and lovely...

moneymommy @moneymommy (3418) • United States 15 Feb 09

We have a separate freezer we use to store meat. I find that we can do bigger food shopping's and stock up on meat for the month. Do you use a separate freezer to store you meat? Do you think its a good idea?

ehlana88 We have a freezer for meat. We tend to buy in large bulk quantities once a month. Or we'll go to the butcher and get like 40 lbs of chicken or half a steer or something. So the meat goes in there. Then we only need to resupply what we use.

ehlana88 I recommend reading the book Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. She doesn't tell you How to write but she does give insights on how to get started, how to continue once you've started and how to get beyond your writer's block.

ehlana88 I read and collect fantasy books. Some romance, a lot of biographies. Cookbooks out of my ears. Writing how-tos, Comedic humor, and Pagan/Wiccan/Occult books. I think those are the biggest categories.

If your room catches a fire suddenly, what would be your first action?

sharay @sharay (2769) • India 14 Feb 09

by giving your comments, you can be of some help to others by giving them a safety tip... for me, if its a lot of fire, i would try to call someone through the windows first, if no answer, would try to run away somehow

ehlana88 My boyfriend can't lie to me. He has this strange urge to tell me everything. To just spill his guts as soon as he sees me and its been that way since day one. He's so adorable with it. Bouncing up and down like a puppy want a cookie.
