Do you sit at the table during meal times or eat in front of the tv??

greengal @greengal (4286) • United States 5 Feb 07

I like to sit with my family at the table at meal times. I gives me a feeling of togetherness and it also encourages good conversation. It's not possible at all times because a few of us are busy and eat at different times....

Hummingbirds in the Garden

ScrappinHappyMom @ScrappinHappyMom (914) • United States 31 Jan 07

So because the snow is dragging me down so bad, we still have over 6ft on the ground and it seems to snow at least once a week. I am started to plot out my gardens this year. I would really love to know any flowers that can grow...

good2Bme I believe your best bet would be a trumpet vine. They are a very hardy vine that are red in color and attract hummingbirds like crazy. It would look very pretty growing over a archway leading into your garden! Other suggestions would be a butterfly bush or Red...

good2Bme I have planted different kind for years now. I have taken wooden meat skewers to "stake" the heads up. The larger varietys do take up a lot of room, but they are worth it to see the beauty of these flowers!

prideinourfamily @prideinourfamily (1) • United States 10 Dec 06

good2Bme I was told my son was ADHD at the age of 3. I know he was always a handful, but now he is almost 10 and after years of medication I finally took him off of it. He does much better and seems to be a normal kid. They really do throw that around too much, it's...

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 30 Jan 07

I'm not talking having repairs done after a horrible accident or fire or any type of disfiguring trauma. I'm talking people who spend thousands upon thousands to keep "looking better". Do you think it says something very sad...

What would you do if you learned that you were going to have septuplets?

sbeauty @sbeauty (5865) • United States 12 Nov 06
