I'm not sure how to feel anymore. I have really come to a point in my life where I feel like I don't need a man in my life. I'm content with who I am and where I am in my life. Am I saying that I don't want to move forward in my...

sweetdesign Just act normal. It is ok to feel the way you do. I have felt that way for a few years now. i am content. Is that to say that if the right guy should happen in to my life I wouldn't change my mind no. I leave the door open I just don't go seeking it.

Do you prefer homebaked or store bought cookies?

taface412 @taface412 (3175) • United States 10 Apr 09

I always love homebaked cookies, but not many people make them anymore due to time constraints. And it is easier to buy the break and bake kind in the dairy section at the store. So what do you prefer? What do you bake?

break and bake cookies

homebaked goods

pillsbury

store bought cookies

sweetdesign I am not a fan of store bought cookies at all. I prefer homebaked. I can think of only a few that I would even buy in the stores and that is Oreo's and Fudge sticks and jelly tops. I don't like any store bought chocolate chips and Sunshine discontinued my...

Eating Hard Boiled Eggs

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 8 Apr 09

I never really cared for hard boiled eggs by themselves. I will eat them sometimes if I make an egg salad. Some people only eat the whites of the hard boiled eggs. Do you like eating hard boiled eggs?

sweetdesign I do like eating hard boiled eggs. I dip mine in a salt and pepper mix and munch them. I don't eat them often but they are a nice change every once in awhile. I also add them to potato salad and tuna salad and chicken salad.
