Tile Floors Through the Whole House - Good idea?

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 26 Dec 11

I hope having tile floors throughout the entire house is a good idea because that's what we're planning for the new home we're having built. Anyone else have tile floors through their house? Love it or hate it? I'd love a list of...

I'm in the mood for something different for dinner. Any suggestions?

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 7 Nov 08

What do you fix when you want something different to eat for supper? I tend to revert back to the same old things, night after night, week after week. Any suggestions for something different? It's just the two of us, but...

Last night we brought home Daisy, our new little yellow labrador retriever puppy. We haven't had a puppy in a very long time, and never had a puppy that will be a mostly indoor dog. (Our previous dogs were acquired as adults,...

Does anyone else shop for shoes online?

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 13 Jul 08

I do, particularly for my husband. He has a hard-to-find shoe size, so it's very hard to find shoes for him locally and online is best. The most recent pair we got was from shoebuy.com, which is a great place and has great...

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 13 Jul 08

This week's grocery store sale was for bone-in chicken breast halves. I got a nice, big package. How should I cook it? Usually I do chicken and dumplings with that type of chicken, cooking the chicken with onions and carrots...

My husband just started a job working nights. This is very unusual for us and we're both having to adjust. To make it worse, I'm on the computer all day long - and the computer is in our bedroom! Guess I need some advice for...

Know any weird home remedies?

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 6 Jun 08

I'm doing some research, looking for home remedies that might sound a bit off the wall. For instance, it is widely reported that duct tape works to remove warts. Also, Vicks VapoRub is often used to treat toenail fungus and seems...

Mmm. Lemon yogurt. What's your favorite flavor of yogurt?

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 8 Apr 08

Can't believe I've never tried lemon yogurt before, but I hadn't until today. It was wonderful! When I was buying yogurt the other day, it occurred to me that the lemon might taste something like lemon meringue pie. It wasn't...

Are you using the MyLot flyers? How's that going for you?

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 25 Mar 08

I realized I've been overlooking a valuable tool to get referrals for MyLot, so this morning I added flyers to a couple of my blogs. Of course it's too soon to see how well it's going to work, but I certainly do like the way it...

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 15 Mar 08

Which Easter candy do you prefer? My husband likes jelly beans (I do, too) but I have a hard time resisting Cadbury Creme Eggs. I'm a chocoholic anyway, and the creme filling of the Cadbury eggs is just so good, and I always...

Who remembers Jack LaLanne?

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 15 Mar 08

I do! I remember watching him when I was just a little girl and it's so neat to see him recently on the Target commercials. I did a bit of reading about Jack LaLanne and even made a Squidoo lens about him (see my website link if...

Grated cheese is great! (So are bagged salads.)

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 25 Feb 08

Do you use convenience or prepackaged foods when you cook, such as pre-grated cheese and bagged salads? Or do you think they're too expensive? Anymore I find that I'm using - and paying for - cheese that's already shredded...

Motivate me!

I know I need to walk, and I believe walking is the easiest and best exercise, but I am just not motivated. I'm tired and just want to take a nap. It's a nice day out, too, so I have no good excuse not to walk. What motivates...

EBay sellers have had a few days now to sleep on and think about and process eBay's announced changes in fee structure, feedback, powerseller qualifications, etc. Now that the initial panic is over and you've had time to make some...

Holey socks, Batman!

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 2 Feb 08

It seems that all of my favorite socks get holes in the heels. This time of year, when it's cold, I really need my socks to keep my legs warm. My favorite socks, though, have holes in the heels. Well, at least they did until...

What are your favorite dips and dippers? Do you make your own or buy pre-made?

my52cents @my52cents (569) • United States 8 Jan 08

I love to eat dips and dippers, things like salsa and chips. We have a favorite dip that we always have on New Year's Day, artichoke dip that we have with tortilla chips, and I make that one myself. I also love to make guacamole...
