Do you like Rhubarb?

Nykkee @Nykkee (2522) • Canada 28 Apr 08

I love rhubarb. I like it stewed and also in pies. It is a great vegetable.....or is it a fruit?.....I don't know.....anyway it's great because it grows really easily in even the poorest soil. I am planning to grow rhubarb in my...

emmasmomma My mom and dad have always loved rhubarb, but to be honest I've never tried it. When I was a kid, our neighbor used to grow it and would always give some to my parents. They would make pies or jam with it. I would never even give it a chance. Then they would...

Do you leave the light on?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 29 Apr 08

When your kids our spouse are not yet home and it's dark out, do you leave the porch light on for them? When I first moved in with my husband, he always turned the light off when he went to bed and I had to turn it back on if my...

emmasmomma If someone's still out, I definitely leave the light on. I even leave it on if it's too dark for the paperboy in the morning. I know that I just feel a little safer when I come home in the dark and the light is on. Not only that, but we live in a rural area...

How important is how you dress for church?

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5490) • United States 28 Apr 08

My minister does quite a bit of volunteer work at a battered women's shelter. A lady escaped from her abusive husband to the center, with her two kids. My pastor suggested that she might want to get into church to help put her...

emmasmomma That's really a shame. What does it matter what you wear as long as you go? I understand that people usually dress up to go to church, but who says that's a rule? Doesn't that really go against what religions teach? Shouldn't you just accept people the way...

Are bad things happening more often, or are we just hearing about them more now?

cyntrow @cyntrow (8523) • United States 28 Apr 08

I don't watch the news because it depresses me. There is one bad story after another. Our parents didn't have this. bad things did not happen in my parents time. Really?? I've always had great relationships with women, my parents'...

emmasmomma I've often wondered this exact same thing. Thinking about it is enough to send you into a deep depression. I don't know if it's because people are worse today or because we are just aware of all of these horrible things now. I am just so afraid for my little...

emmasmomma We live in a small town right on a river, so we head to the beach quite often. The water's not the best, but the kids love to play in the sand and watch the boats go by and stuff like that. If we go further up north from where we live, about a 2 hour drive, we...

Cat Dung Coffee - What are we missing?

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 24 Apr 08

Well, I'm a little devastated. If I lived in the UK, I could spend $100 for a cup of coffee made from coffee beans, harvested from the dung of the Civet cat. The cat eats the beans, the beans go through its system and then are...

emmasmomma That's disgusting! Are you serious? I wouldn't drink it if someone paid me to! Well maybe if they paid me, but it'd have to be a good sum of money! LOL. I'm not one to spend the extra on a gourmet cup of coffee. Give me my Tim Hortons and I'm good!

What's your morning personality?

Ellie @ellie26 (4139) • Malaysia 24 Apr 08

I realized that I am a different person in the morning and in the afternoon. In the morning, after having breakfast, I like to sit in front of TV or just read newspaper. I can just sit and lazying around the house the whole...

emmasmomma Before I had my kids, I too, loved to laze around in the morning and take it easy. But now...it's go go go. We play and play until thankfully, it's nap time! Then I just pray for a 2 hour nap!

What was your favorite family past time as a child?

tjades @tjades (3591) • Jamaica 24 Apr 08

I used to love it when we all gathered around as my father told one story after another. Both mom and dad would teach us songs and games from their childhood. Those were just heavenly times. There were times when they would...

emmasmomma We used to play board games, play catch outside, or go to this big park out in the country! It was great. I try to play catch and go to the park with my daughter, but she's too young for board games! I only hope she'll be able to have fond memories of the time...

Man Brutally Kills Cat in Front of Kids!

worldwise1 @worldwise1 (14885) • United States 23 Apr 08

I was appalled when I saw this headline in our local news. It seems that a group of neighbors were outside when a 20-year-old man suddenly tossed a cat from a second story window. He then proceeded to come downstairs, begin...

Is an emotional affair an affair?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 23 Apr 08

Well I know what I think but I want to know what you think. A family member got emotionally attached to a co-worker and his wife found out. He's cut off all contact and is feeling like, although it was wrong, it wasn't that awful...

emmasmomma That's a tough one! Personally, I think that, yes, I would call it an affair. To me an affair is a betrayal, be it physical, or emotional. That's what makes your relationship with your spouse special, not only the physical side but the emotional as well.
