My son is in high school and was kicked out of one of his classes for disrupting it. He was told that he had to write a letter of apology. I want to share some of it with you because I had to make a copy of it to save for him when...

When cooking....

quispy @quispy (572) • United States 20 Feb 07

When you are making a beef stew or a chicken soup, do you use fresh vegetables or frozen? I always used to used fresh vegetables, but now find it so much easier to use the frozen. Okay, so maybe I'm getting lazy! What do you use?

quispy @quispy (572) • United States 17 Feb 07

Did you ever want to change your name? How many times a day do you hear the word "Ma" or "mommy"? Thousands! One day I told my kids that I was changing my name, as I'm sure countless mothers have done. So the 3 of them took turns...

What else can I make with an Eye round?

quispy @quispy (572) • United States 16 Feb 07

I made 2 roast beefs, but I have 3 more eye rounds. I know that I can freeze them, but I am looking for anything to do with them other than a roast beef. They were on sale this week at a local market!

Okay, well it's not the heat or the humidity. And it's not really the cold....it's the WIND! Here on Long Island, in New York, we got slammed by an ice storm. I am trying to chop the block of ice that I usually call my sidewalk,...

Women: Would you donate your eggs?

quispy @quispy (572) • United States 12 Feb 07

I know in NY there is advertising that fertility groups will harvest your eggs and pay you for them. When I was still in the age group to be considered a donor, I was seriously considering it. My major obstacle to it was: Whoever...

Is your spouse close to your family?

quispy @quispy (572) • United States 7 Feb 07

Is your spouse close to your parents and siblings? Mine is. It's much easier that way! He adores my parents and they adore him. They just consider him the third child. (although that would make me guilty of incest and we...

Where did the time go? I can't believe that I am old enough to have a 15 year old. Basically, he's a good kid, good heart. Of course he's at that age that he's giving my lots of grief, but this too shall pass! Anyway, I'm...
