My Donuts

mawee79 @mawee79 (403) • Italy 25 Mar 13

Last month I decided to try to make the donuts. I've never made it and I was a bit worried. So I've searched for a good revipe on the web and after buying all the ingredients I tried to do them. Well, I've been pretty satisfied...

TriciaW They look yummy. I would love the recipe for them. I have not tried to make donuts in years. I do so love a hot fresh donut though. The frosting is never an easy thing to make but I like powder sugar, butter and milk whipped real light and fluffy. Food...

mawee79 @mawee79 (403) • Italy 25 Mar 13

Since easter is coming, I want to show you some eggs (real and false) I made 2 years ago. They are Styrofoam eggs made with fabrics. I really enjoyed make them, especially at the end, when I had to add some details, like bows...

TriciaW Those are darling! I may have to find some and do them up with my children at daycare. I am always looking for fun things to do with my toddlers. They probably won't turn out as pretty as yours but it would sure be fun to watch them try!

some women settle to being a mistress

cherigucchi @cherigucchi (14876) • Philippines 14 Mar 13

I have heard some of my friends who had gone through a problem of discovering their partner of having a mistress. Their marriage was almost destroyed by this kind of woman whom I don't understand why they settle for less. They...

TriciaW I think that women that do this have low self esteem and do not think they can get someone that is totally committed to them. It is sad that the men do not get more of the stigma then the women do. It is the man that is married and cheating. I feel bad for...

TriciaW In my country it is very common to see women drinking beer. I think it is drinking responsibly that is important. I on a rare occasion have a beer and I do not have anything to feel guilty about. I never drank while I was pregnant or do I think any woman...

TriciaW You are not alone in this situation. Many of us find it hard to make ends meet. Perhaps you can do some babysitting at night and on the weekends to bring in some extra cash. You might also look at your spending and see where you might be able to trim down....

Worker On The Dot

balcksilver @balcksilver (14) • Malaysia 14 Mar 13

Are you a worker who leaves on the dot? To me working is one of the big part of our life. We worked our heart out to earn a living. As a worker, i definitely think that we should work efficiently rather than working Over Time....

TriciaW I think one can work a set number of hours and get done what it takes others to do in a longer time. The sad part is the bosses usually only see times not effort. I would say it is because some don't do their share is why this goes like it does. You have those...

Freecycle (do people still use it)

kimbers867 @kimbers867 (2539) • United States 13 Mar 13

Do you all remember the group Freecycle? Is anyone still involved actively with their "home" groups? Just curious. I helped start the Harford County, Maryland group back about 9 or 10 years ago, and left about three years into it...

TriciaW That is a really scary thought. I hope it was just a mistake but if not that is awful. I would talk to the website owner to find out why it was deleted and perhaps they can help you. I am sorry that this happened to you.

I'm not a good egg cracker

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 8 Mar 13

I think I am not good at breaking eggs partly because I am breaking them on the edge of a cup and there is very little room for error. I fear that if I hit too hard, the egg will split open too much and I will have egg white...

TriciaW I feel I have moved on for the most part. I can say that at times I still think about the past but don't feel I am living in the past. With that said my past does make me a bit less trusting of things however that isn't such a bad thing because I was way too...

I was told to record sounds my son is scared of

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 8 Mar 13

These are a hover at home, a hand dryer in a public toilet, a fire alarm at a hospital and noisy chit chat in a school dining hall. Then the lady said I could get him to play those sounds loudly and quietly. I could make fun games...

TriciaW I don't think I could live there I would be freaked out hearing noises or seeing people. I am pretty sure I would run away fast. It would be interesting to visit and see what would happen though.

Lee Ka @kaka135 (14931) • Malaysia 8 Mar 13
