Do you still buy magazines?

ayeeesha @ayeeesha (1127) • Philippines 21 Apr 13

When I was younger, I used to subscribe to teen magazines such as Candy and Meg. In fact, I even want to work for magazines although I didn't push through and chose a different path instead. With the advancement of technology...

Bonnie Oh, yes. I have several magazine subscriptions. I like to be able to hold a book/magazine and feel the pages, turn the pages and check out pictures. I keep them and then am able to go back many weeks/months later and read them again. Beats having to run down...

Ma and Pa Kettle Movies

lelin1123 @lelin1123 (15595) • Puerto Rico 13 Apr 13

I just happen to find a bunch of Ma and Pa Kettle movies from the 40's and 50's and they were hilarious. We were able to watch 6 of the 10 movies. They star Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride. Its a story about a poor farmer with...

Bonnie I probably saw every Ma & Pa Kettle movie that was made. When I was a kid, we would go to the drive-in movies (bet you don't remember them) every time a new one came out. Usually there was a double feature. To see them now, I think some of them are right...

Now my car is over the hill it's 6 years old, and I may get 10 - 15 years in total. I have a large amount of miles on it. I really don't want to put money in it, if I don't have too. I don't care what I looked like driving a...

Bonnie He does have a valid point about it rusting. If he is just wanting to do a touch-up, I would go with it. Rust spreads and you could end up with holes in it.

Neglecting The Housework Because I'm Still Feeling So Groggy!

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 28 Mar 13

Oh dear! It's not like me neglecting the housework. I am glad I was slotted in this week for my operation but it's scuppered my plans somewhat, as I was going to clean, clean and clean some more, as I will be at Mum's next week...

Bonnie We hear so many stories about dogs and cats but rarely a good duck tale comes along. Kudos to you for taking the time and effort to straighten Rupert's legs. I couldn't have put him down either. I suppose he thinks that you're his mother now.

Bonnie I don't understand why they don't just do it themselves in the first place. What's so difficult about it that one can't take a minute or two and throw it into a bag? It's good that people like you can get paid for doing what squeamish people don't want to do.

Bonnie Guess that's called a 'chemically induced' bipolar situation, huh? Anyway, there is no set normal. My moods go up and down as well. Some days I'm all energized and then others I want to laze around all day.

Bonnie Next time, drop a teaspoon of vanilla extract in it and I'd add a couple of tablespoons of sugar in it as well. You don't need much milk if you're using yogurt. And don't blend it too long or the yogurt gets too runny.
