wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 20 Jun 12

My son came home on the last day of school, with an art project that had been on display at school. It was a 4 inch by 8 inch woven piece that he had made on a cardboard loom. I remember doing it in school, too, but his was...

wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 27 Sep 11

Have you noticed so many towns trying to change Halloween lately? I've heard of towns where there is no trick or treating anymore! I just don't know how I would deal with that. I remember several years ago, the town we lived in...

First off, I do plan on discussing this with my sons doctor before trying it, but I wanted to see if anyone here has any experience or information on it that might be worth adding to the discussion. I have a 9 year old son who...

It's really reached that point...

wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 20 May 11

I work at a grocery store, so I see how the rising costs have changed the way people shop for groceries or feed their families first hand. It's interesting, to say the least. Like many stores, we offer pre-made dishes that you can...

wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 12 Jan 11

I've been contemplating an iPad for awhile. Yes, they're expensive, but with the new one due out in a couple of months, I'm sure the 1st generation ones will be dropping in price. I've gotten a few opinions from friends, mostly...

I work at a grocery store and I see it every day. People who think that they deserve better than everyone else at the grocery store. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone demand that the store open up an extra register...

Online dating, what's your experience been like?

wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 30 Sep 10

I've tried a few dating sites myself. The ones that are free of charge as a general rule, because I really can't afford to pay for it right now. I did a free weekend at eHarmony and it was ok. The profile was a pain in the butt to...
