Are you an early bird on Black Friday?

lorelei1622 @lorelei1622 (329) • United States 24 Nov 09

lorelei1622 A quick suggestion for your powdered milk: multiply he powder by 1.5 ( 1/2 again a much powder) and refrigerate overnight before using, the colder the better. As for your budget, is it for one person? if so pasta, hamburger and spaghetti sauce goes really far,...

WalMart decision to upgrade the store is dumb

bmorehouse1 @bmorehouse1 (1028) • United States 5 Mar 09

Our local WalMart has started upgrading their store, putting in new flooring, upgrading the bathrooms, putting up a new sign and painting the outside of the store. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, but they...

Credit Card Company decides where you can shop

lorelei1622 @lorelei1622 (329) • United States 28 Jan 09

littletinker @littletinker (273) 14 Dec 08

Oh Dear! What can I do with a chocolate cake that has gone stale? It hasnt been decorated, so there is not icing on the top or cream in the middle. I have thought of a couple of the obvious solutions such as chocolate...
