What To Do With Key Limes?

misskatonic @misskatonic (3723) • United States 27 Jan 07

On my weekly outing to procure sustenance, I discovered a sale on key limes. I adore key lime. So, being the impulse buyer that I am, I now find myself in possession of ten key limes. They're nestled together in my fridge,...

my3busyboys Well, if you don't end up cooking all of them, cut them up and put them in your garbage disposal. It will make it smell really good ;)

Alcoholic Beverages...

bestisyettocome @bestisyettocome (1531) • United States 19 Jan 07

What is the easiest mixed drink, or cocktail, you have ever made? My favorite is Rum Runner, but it takes a lot of ingredients to make. So, kinda expensive. Looking for something cheaper and easier to make. I like a fruity...

Oatmeal?

bestisyettocome @bestisyettocome (1531) • United States 27 Jan 07

I just lowered my cholesterol! Oatmeal with cinnamon and sugar. Mmmm, so good on a cold winter's morning. Some people, I have heard, adds a little butter to theirs. Do you like to sit down with a bowl of oatmeal? What do you...

Is your WalMart a dangerous place to shop?

monica1216 @monica1216 (509) • United States 26 Jan 07

The WalMart closest to where I live has always seemed really scary to me at night. It's open 24 hours and the parking lot is very dark. I try really hard not to go there late at night. Once I was even followed by a man out into...

do I need to do something special to get more responses?

monie2boys @monie2boys (176) • United States 26 Jan 07

I don't have that many responses. I hope I don't sound like a whiney baby. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I wonder if I should be starting the posts in larger interest groups. I hope my topics are just boring....

Best dog food?

monica1216 @monica1216 (509) • United States 15 Jan 07

Thinking we are not using the best food for our dogs. We have been giving them Biljac and just realized that it has corn in it and that's not so great for dogs. So, which brand do you think is the best to feed your dog? and why?...

do you enjoy talking on the phone?

monie2boys @monie2boys (176) • United States 22 Jan 07

my3busyboys I don't like talking on the phone unless I have to. I don't have caller ID, but I have my answering machine screen calls. I am on the phone a LOT at work during the day so I'd rather not be on it when I get home in the evening.

Morning Coffee

dmajkc @dmajkc (196) • United States 18 Jan 07

How soon after you wake up in the morning do you have your first cup of coffee? I usually start my coffee maker as soon as I wake up. Within 5 minutes I m having a scalding cup of coffee to jolt me into reality.

14 responses

my3busyboys If I make coffee in the morning before work, I program it to come on so its ready after I get out of the shower. If its the weekend, I usually make a latte with my starbucks barista within an hour of getting up.

Starbucks at home

dmajkc @dmajkc (196) • United States 20 Jan 07

my3busyboys well said, but I doubt those very readers you write about will take the time to read your post. They are here to earn money for their posts and they believe quantity is more important than quality.
