saralee1 The only time I can stand to eat vinegar and salt chips, is when I have a cold. Otherwise, forget it! the vinegar is great at clearing up the sinuses as well, and when I have a really bad cold I cannot taste a thing, except vinegar! for some reason though, it...

saralee1 Well, I could tell you what 'not' to do. Don't pick up another chick, or guy without breaking the relationship off first, that is just extremely rude, and prone to retaliation. take this person to a diner, and tell them that you aren't interested anymore. tell...
