I hardly ever use my home phone. Most of my business and personal calls are utilized by my cell phone. I keep the landline phone for my internet and fax purpose. If it wasn't for the internet and faxing, I would disconnect the...

phoenix25 I would totally get rid of my landline if I could. However, I only have access to DSL right now, so I have to have a landline to get my internet. Otherwise, I would just get cable internet and keep a cell phone. There are advantages and disadvantages to...

phoenix25 Actually, I liked War of the Roses. One movie I definitely felt like I wanted my two hours back afterwards was Napoleon Dynamite. I decided to watch it because of all the hype and because my sister told me I HAD to watch it because it was SO funny. (I...

I'm twenty nine and I have been smoking on and off since I was eighteen. I really like smoking but my boyfriend hates it. Here's the bare facts: I love the taste of smoking. I smoke about six or seven a day. My boyfriend is...

phoenix25 If you don't want to quit, then find a new boyfriend. It is possible for nonsmokers and smokers to get along in a relationship. It just sounds like your boyfriend doesn't like it whether you do it away from him or not, which means it sounds like he isn't...

My sister gave me two pieces of Mrs. Fields. One cookie, the Macadamia is very ordinary. Nothing like i never had before. The other one, the chewy choco is ok but not really extraordinary. One small cookie costs 90 cents to $1!...

phoenix25 Yeah, they are a rip off. What about those Pepperidge Farm cookies, too? Those are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. You're better off buying some of those betty crocker cookie mixes in the little bags and making your own. I make 9 big cookies out of each bag and they...

phoenix25 Well yeah, I would consider that excessive. If you are going out 3 or 4 times a week with the girls and leaving your kid at home with your boyfriend, husband, or someone else. There is a big difference between getting a healthy amount of adult time away from...

phoenix25 That is pretty late considering that you would probably have some things to do at home before you could get the kids in bed...which would get them in bed going to sleep even later than that. Kids aren't going to just jump in bed as soon as they get home and go...

phoenix25 Amen. I am a stay at home mom currently (possibly going to back to work since hubby lost his job). I have spent practically every waking moment with my 5-year-old son for about the last year and a half. Let me tell you...I could really use a night out. It...

phoenix25 I don't think it's unfair for young parents to go out with each other for a night when their child is a baby. If parents never went anywhere with each other for an adult night out before their kids were teenagers, people would go insane. Me and my husband used...

phoenix25 Wow.... Well, I'm sure it happens. But, I know it happens with people and their own biological children too. There are days that I get so mad at my son (he's my biological son) and kind of wish I didn't have a child, but there is no way I would seriously think...

phoenix25 Oh yeah...and garbage bags are great for clothes. Poke a hole in the bottom of the trash bag and stick as many hangers from clothes in your closet through the hole and lay them in your trunk or in the moving truck.

phoenix25 That's not entirely true. Some post offices will help you pack your stuff, provide packing peanuts, and tape a box for you.

phoenix25 I think it depends on where you are. I moved to a small town from a big city and I notice that the small-town post offices are a bit more accomodating. For example, I was sending a big box of food to a friend a couple of weeks ago (he lost his job and didn't...

I've always been in awe of people who just can whip up dinner without looking at a cookbook for every detail of a recipe. Is this something that you're born with - like a talent? Is this something that's learned? Is there hope for...

phoenix25 LOL. Yes, there is hope. When I was growing up, my mom's definition of "cooking" was baking a frozen pizza (which she usually burned) or cooking spaghetti with CANNED sauce (the horror...). Needless to say, I basically knew how to cook eggs, boil water, and...

phoenix25 I am definitely different in the workplace than I am at home. I cuss a lot at home and I am very open about pretty much anything and everything. At work, I can't do that or I would probably get in a lot of trouble. I like to keep out of trouble at work, so I...
