vicky63401 This happens to me every time I read a really good book. I also usually suffer from "book hangover." That's when I can't seem to get interested in another book because the last book and its flavor won't leave my mind. Reading is wonderful!

vicky63401 I'm becoming an Alfredo Freak. But then, lasagna is pretty hard to beat. And then there's any kind of pasta in marinara sauce. Okay, I can't decide! I just love all pasta and I can't discriminate.

vicky63401 Shrimp Alfredo is my favorite, followed very closely by lasagne. I love the rich, garlicy sauce of any alfredo dish. Add lots of mushrooms and I'm very happy!

How do you know when you're an alcoholic?

ugachaka @ugachaka (297) • United States 16 Jan 07

I've never considered myself an alcoholic, but if left unchecked, I'd probably be dead by now. I can go weeks without having a drink, but as soon as I'm around a bottle or a case of beer, I won't stop until I hit bottom. I used...

vicky63401 Sometimes Ambien doesn't work for me, either. And it never keeps me asleep for 8 hours. If I am lucky, I get 6 hours of sleep with it, and that's with the CR type. I have not yet tried Lunesta. I know I drink too much coffee but I stop early in the day. I...

Do you ever enjoy "breakfast" foods for dinner?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 24 Jan 07

We're not huge fans of breakfast at my house so we will often eat a "breakfast" for dinner. This evenings dinner will be pancakes and eggs. Do you ever do this or do you keep your breakfast foods strictly for breakfast?

vicky63401 hockygal, I do this all the time. I don't like pancakes, waffles or anything sweet for breakfast. My tummy doesn't like heavy things like biscuits and gravy for breakfast, but does fine with them as a dinner. My husband is the same way. Often, when we eat...

Dogs are not lawn ornaments!

blueskies @blueskies (1186) • United States 30 Jan 07

vicky63401 I feel the same way you do, blueskies. I wish everyone who owned dogs shared our point of view. I hate to see dogs out in kennels, or worse, tied to a doghouse or tree. Even if their physical needs are met, there is no way that their emotional needs are...
