mimimeow @mimimeow (295) • Hong Kong 4 Jun 09

So that's what they are doing!! You can choose two different favours. AND double chocolate is just fantastic!!! Although it is double fattening, hahahahaha~~~ p.s. there's a new favour of green tea or green beans out recently.

FlaKNMB I've had Wendy's root beer and Coke floats but didn't know McDonald's is also making them. I'll have to try one. What is a fanda float?

FlaKNMB Those are two excellent ideas! I've done both, especially the one about filling empty space in your freezer with plastic jugs filled with water. I was very glad I'd done that the last time we had a hurricane that knocked our power out. It really helped keep...

FlaKNMB Salads and veggies are good, but too much fruit can make a diabetic's blood sugar go up. That's not to say you can't eat them, but in moderation. Also, pasta should be eaten in moderation. It's high in carbs and will cause a diabetic's glucose to spike sky...

Don't you hate it when you don't have the money?

Brooke @o2bnocn (2992) • United States 16 Aug 08

FlaKNMB ebsharer, have you checked to see if there is a group in your area that collects glass for recycling? You wouldn't get any money from recycling, but you would be helping our environment and perhaps a Scout group, church group, etc.

FlaKNMB It is definitely anonymous. I don't even see anyplace you can leave your info if you wanted to. You do have to know the other person's license number, though. The messages are all based on that.
