4,000 calories!

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 2 Feb 08

I just saw where they say it is possible for a person to consume 4,000 calories during the Superbowl! That's 2 days worth of calories in just a few hours.

skittles46 Pizza is evil for calorie consumption. So is pop. And so are chips and most other common superbowl part snack foods. Not to mention if beer is involved at all most of that is super high calorie. It really is amazing how fast the calories add up if you're...

Has your home ever been broken into? Either while you were home or away? In July of 2006 my home was broken into after a storm blew out our power. We had no power for almost 1 week. We were home sleeping, at about 2 am and awoke...

skittles46 Our house was broken into in April of 07. I had left to meet a friend of mine at the park, and when I got home the first thing I noticed was that the gate on my back fence was swinging (was normally closed and locked). That made me nervous, and then when I...

Does anyone own a beta- fish? My daughter

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 7 Jan 08

received one Christmas of 2006. She named him Jordan. And has been helping us to care for him, and doing a good job. I need to know how long do they usually live? Does anyone know?

skittles46 Bettas live for 2-5 years, but they are usually at least a year old when you get them, as they grow slowly. I have one I've had for almost 2 years, but he's starting to act old, and getting sick easy. He's been in my 38 gallon community tank most the time...

skittles46 When I feel I need a midnight snack I try to either grab a piece of fruit, usually an orange. I also try to keep cut up vegetables in the frig, but there's nothing like baby carrots with ranch dressing either.

skittles46 I had to laugh as I read this because my husband has a somewhat annoying tendency at times to over-react and exaggerate. He called me the other day to say "I'm apologizing ahead of time, because you're going to be very mad at me when I get home". I'm...

skittles46 To be totally honest, no I'm not going to vote, actually I should say I didn't vote, since Tuesday is now almost over. Participating in any political activity is against my religion, so I bypass voting.

skittles46 Too bad my daughter has no use for one! She's the one who likes pink in this family. I'm not too big on pink, and we don't celebrate Valentines, so it wouldn't be something I'm interested in for myself, although I'm sure plenty of other people will be.

Is it the number of responses the discussion already has? Is it the title? Is it that a friend started the discussion?

If you have been up say 2 1/2 hours(i have) from 3 am to 5:30 am for example, how easy is it for you to go back to sleep? Or do you just give up and start your day? Can be any day , but since its a weekend day today let's start...

skittles46 It usually depends on how long I'll have to sleep again if I go back to sleep. I have no trouble getting back to sleep, especially if I've been woken up earlier. I do have trouble getting back up less than an hour or 2 later, so I gauge it on that.

Everyone has a preference!

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 5 Feb 08

Which is yours? Cooking on a gas stove or do you like electric better?

cooking

skittles46 I prefer gas for the cooking, rather than electric. However using gas stoves to cook has been linked some to asthma and other respiratory issues, especially in children, so I'd like to get away from using it.

skittles46 I've always heard it as being 1 year AND 20 pounds, not 30. I've turned all 3 of mine around at a year, except my youngest who wasn't 20 pounds until around 15 months.

Colds... nasty cough

AICIRT81 @AICIRT81 (847) • United States 28 Jan 08

skittles46 I don't currently have one but have been thinking hard about getting one. It would make pancakes and grilled sandwiches ever so much easier. We don't do a lot of bacon. How does it work to do the eggs on it? I'd think they'd spread too far too fast.

skittles46 We don't even have a landline phone, decided as much as we use the cells to communicat between my husband and I that we would use just them. So obviously I use them to make long distance calls, as there is no extra charge, and I have free nights and weekends.
