jands1 It sounds as if your husband was/is a "Mamma's Boy". And this spread to his siblings view of him. No matter what a woman does, nothing will be right or good in the eyes of her mother-in-law. The wife is, afterall, the terrible person that dared to make her son...

jands1 In addition to what you have listed, the main way I learned ages ago to not waste food was to cook only what was needed. This quickly eliminated most left-overs. I found when I was cooking with the intent on having left-overs, I often did have food go to...

Ever wonder about your neighbors?

celticeagle @celticeagle (168269) • Boise, Idaho 26 Oct 10

Do you ever wonder what your neighbors are up to? I have an older couple that lives next door to us in a low income apartment complex. I hear all kinds of weird noises coming from next door. I hear squeaky(no not that!)and these...

jands1 I used to have weird neighbours. Which is why I took so great care in locating my new place. In the country. The most I can hear now is when my neighbour mows his/her lawns. It is a beautiful thing.

Do you have feelings from your heart?

Gorillafootprints925 @Gorillafootprints925 (3586) • United States 15 Aug 10

Technically no, it is actually in your head but people say they have feelings in their hearts. Thinking with your heart is stupid anatomically because your brain is in your head not in your heart. Well, I know this is not really...

jands1 Perhaps it is this way because it was a widely held belief by ancient civilizations around the world that the human heart held the human mind. Thus the human heart held the human soul. Heck the mere shape of the heart as we now draw it, was, and for some,...

Why is grapefruit called grapefruit when it doesn't even look like grapes?

Gorillafootprints925 @Gorillafootprints925 (3586) • United States 15 Aug 10

It doesn't even taste like grapes, so why do you think they call it grapefruit? I guess it may be that it looks similar to grapes when it is still small but that doesn't really describe the fruit. Who knows?

2 responses

jands1 It is believed that the name "grapefruit" refers to the manner in which grapefruit grows in clusters on a tree. Another explanation is that the premature grapefruit looks similar in shape to unripe green grapes. The grapefruit is really a hybrid between...

jands1 First of all, has he identified and acknowledged a problem with driving? If not, that would be step one. Once that is figured out then him driving should become slowly easier. I would recommend really emphasizing the positive aspects of driving. For example...
