mrscubana Yes, I can do it but my daughter is looking at me like i'm nuts. I can't reverse it though. That is more difficult. You have to concentrate at first and then when you have it down you can think of other things.

mrscubana ok, so this sounds funny but try Midol extra strength.I grew up with Migraines and sometimes this is the only thing that eases them. They have caffiene in them and they relax you. Do you drink a lot of soda or coffee on and off? Caffeine headaches are killer...

Do you choose your friends?

JannaLee @JannaLee (660) • Philippines 10 Jan 09

People say that it's quite inappropriate to choose friends, since you may hurt other people if you don't choose them, or shall we say include them in your preferences. However, let's accept the fact that we don't get along...

mrscubana ofcourse you choose your friends. There are people you need to be around and people you really don't. I believe God puts ppl in your path and some relationships take on a life of their own but if you don't make wise decisions you ended spiraling down with some...

In this fast paced world, do you still have time to read novels?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 10 Jan 09

Before I could read 3-4 novels a week. But now I could hardly finish one book per week. I spend more time at the computer writing. The internet kept my hands full with mylotting, writing for sites, reading blogs, writing for my...

mrscubana Oh yes! That is my escape. I love to read for hours.I may not get to do that as much anymore but that is the best way for me to relax. You are right tho, I have given up reading time because I am online more. What is mylotting? Is that used for this site?

What is a good camera?

horses102488 @horses102488 (102) • United States 9 Jan 09

I'm looking into buying a new camera and I'm not quite sure what to get. I know that I don't want a point-and-shoot. I want a large-bodied camera with some sort of removable lens so another one could be attached. I don't want to...

mrscubana I have a canon digital rebel that takes pretty awesome pics, but you really have to get used to using the settings...white balance exposure,etc. They have some really good deals on the earlier rebels I was checking out last night on www.ebay.com They were...

Does this make sense to you?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 9 Jan 09

A guy is on death row for killing several people. He gets hold of something he shouldn't and tries to commit suicide. Heaven and earth is moved to save his life. Does this make sense to you? For me it comes down to what's more...

mrscubana I'm with you on this one. I would want him to suffer and serve his time but I also think that we are wasting time and money on someone who doesn't deserve or appreciate it. That money could go towards children in the schools, healthcare, shelter because they...

Stuffing!

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 9 Jan 09

Have you ever used a liquid other than water to make your boxed stuffing? Well last night I made apple pork chops, and chose stuffing to go with them. I wondered how the stuffing would come out if I used apple juice instead of...

mrscubana I always thought that you are supposed to use chicken stock for stuffing. The apple juice idea sounds awesome, I can't wait to try that next time I make it. I've always used butter and chicken stock and it always tastes really good. I used Rachel Ray's...

Do you plan to live a more frugal life?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 9 Jan 09

The economy isn't getting better in my community, and I'm sure you're seeing this in yours as well. In the past, living a frugal life seemed natural. I don't know why this has changed for this household, but it has. Now, I'd like...

mrscubana I have always lived a frugal life. The way I see it is if you can live without you don't really need it. I don't get my nails done, eat fast food daily, or get Starbucks more than 1 every 3 months or so. When you hold off on these things you save money and...

Cute Vs. Sexy - What is a real man looking for?

berlynn1975 @berlynn1975 (737) • United States 9 Jan 09

I had a recent discussion with a guy. And, it was about how men choose women for long-term relationships. What are real men looking for? A hot and sexy girl, or a cute (innocent-ish) lady?

mrscubana Based on what I have learned I think that men like casual relationships with sexy more outgoing women and I think when they are ready to settle down they are lookiing for someone who is more reserved and less likely to be disruptive with other family members...
