Hi all - I was thinking of getting a new front loader washer and wondered if it was better to get a combination washer/dryer (ie a washer and dryer all in the one unit). Does anyone have one which works well? I was thinking of the...

urbangirl Hi drannhh - did you decide to buy one after all? I have the room in my laundry, so I guess I'll stick to separate dryer/washer for now.

Over the weekend the media reported the death of Tammy Faye. Death is always a sad topic and Tammy Faye Bakker (Messner) was known for her over use of make up but I felt more saddened by the cruel photo the media used to remind...

urbangirl PS the not washing your hands is the worst. You see perfectly groomed women with no idea about hygiene. If you just quickly rinse your hands with water, that does NOTHING to clean your hands - worse still, if they are not dried then that is worse than not...

He is playing the person who plotted to kill Adolf Hitler. It seems some Germans think he is unfit to play the part since he has such big ties to the Church of Scientology. http://www.arcamax.com/religiousnews/s-215443-346852

urbangirl I think they are just upset by the choice of actor and his involvement with Scientology but who knows, it might work out okay in the end.

urbangirl Yes - do not stop that - that is something I believe that cannot be controlled with therapy alone and the medication needs to be changed from time to time, so you need to be monitred for that. I am glad you have the insight and wisdom to recognise your...

urbangirl I agree Lobster is probably good at any time of year - but I associate it with summer. It's winter here now and I don't do much char grilling in winter. I make casseroles and pies which will fill me up and keep me warm :-)
