gmakesmoney @gmakesmoney (2923) • United States 27 Jun 08

So someone is running around not commenting on my discussions but tagging them as "mature content". I found quite a few of them like that and I was like WTF? I mean really, that's so uncool. Why hate on someone who's just here...

gmakesmoney @gmakesmoney (2923) • United States 26 Jun 08

Do you like to come up with your own design when you craft or do you follow a book or pattern? I do both. For complex things I like to start with a pattern and then alter it until I have an end result that I love. And sometimes...

gmakesmoney @gmakesmoney (2923) • United States 26 Jun 08

Do you ever make something fun when you're in a good mood? Like smiley face eggs and bacon? Or something blah when you're so not in the mood to cook? I made a recipe to go with a good mood and I called it Sunshine Chicken. I...

Ever get so nervous before a big day that you can't sleep the night before? Which of course always means you go into the big day in a bad, tired mood and not exactly looking your best, lol. Totally defeats the purpose. I'm like...
