    how it's made

    I've never heard of it. That sound interesting, though. I've heard an idea of someone wanting to start something similar. That's cool that someone is doing it. There so much stuff in our world. It would be interesting to see the process it goes through to get here.

    Super bowl party menu

    I totally missed that one. Maybe I can use some of these great ideas next year. I've been totally in the dark about sports, and entertainment since I got rid of my TV. I get my news by word of mouth. Which reminds me.... so, who won the Superbowl? Oh, and who were they playing against? Yeah...

    How do you stay fit and healthy?

    It varies throughout the year for me. I like to go to the gym. However, in the winter I become glued to the chair in front of my computer. I don't feel motivated to work out in the winter. In the summer, I work up a sweat in the garden, or walk to the local arboretum. I guess I like to get my...

    Cooking without fire

    You mean a raw food meal? You know, there are people who do that for their whole diet. I tried it out -- it's rough. It's a great thing to do in the summer, though. I don't have any recipes on hand, but you should try a summer chilled soup. Usually, they'll be tomato based, or cucumber based...

    Shephard Fairey Art

    The artist that made the famous "Hope" Obama poster is being sued for using a photograph from a AP press reporter to make his art. Shephard Fairey is typically known as a street artist that does 'stencil art'. Do you think it's wrong to create a new piece of art that exists in a different...

    What About a Valentines Meal?

    I know most couple go out on Valentine's day. However, there are so many restaurants in my city that I end up eating out a lot. It's just not as special as it once was anymore. Me and my boyfriend have really been into cooking at home. We love to try new recipes, too. Any suggestions on...

    Do You Believe in Alternative Medicine?

    I really love herbs. I have two walls full of everything I could find. Whenever possible, I use herbs when I'm feeling sick or just for preventative health. The last time I did go to the doctor, I mentioned my interest in herbs. He was skeptical. Why are doctors so often skeptical of...

    How do I Stop Smoking?!

    I've only smoked for a few years, but I'm afraid if I don't stop soon I'm going to cause some permanent damage to my lungs. I'd like to use a method to stop that doesn't involve patches, or drugs. Patches didn't work for me anyway. Also, reducing my intake doesn't work. I need something that...

    Mardi Gras!

    That sounds so awesome! I wasn't thinking of a Mardi Gras party, but now I want to have one. How do you make Jambalaya? Is it vegetarian? I cook a lot, but I usually go with Indian dishes because there are a lot of options for vegetarians. Jambalya sounds like it may be meat based. I could use...

    Another blow for the Big3?

    I think that I have to agree with supervised bankruptcy. They haven't proved they can make good choice by any means. I would really like to see these companies build more fuel efficient, and greener cars.

    New Stimulus Package

    Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to bail out big companies. However, if they invest money by giving a $15,000 break to families that buy a home or send a sweeter income tax return -- that's awesome. A lot of these companies have been managing their companies recklessly. They really...

    The "New" Retirement

    That's unfortunate:( I guess it doesn't matter then that I haven't started my 401K, yet. I really think that with all the dishonesty with large corporations we're going to start seeing more small businesses. In these times of unemployment, people are going to start figuring out how to work for...

    Gold as Investment

    Unfortunately, real estate isn't doing so great right now. Gold tends to go up in price when people are feeling insecure about the economy. It may not be the best time.

    Your Thoughts on the Economy?

    I think the economy is about to be reshaped. There's been a problem with the way we run our economy. We don't look to the future, we just think about short-term profits. That's a problem. We are seeing that with our cancer rates, health problems, and environmental problems. We have to create...

    Layaway Making a Come Back?

    Wow, I haven't heard about Layaway in a long time. My mom used it all the time when I was little. That's usually how she got our Christmas gifts. I suppose with the economy being not so great, people will use it more.

    Gold as Investment

    I've always thought gold and silver was a great idea. It's fairly stable. Actually, if it's down right now it would be a good idea to invest. Last time I thought about doing it, a year later it skyrocketed to being worthy triple what it was when I had the initial thought. Unfortunately, I didn't...

    Mental and Emotional Health Neglected?

    You are so right! I've always been frustrated about that. I'm lucky enough to have a job right now, and it's a stressful one. At times, I find my mind needing a hardcore break so it doesn't shut down. I'm always frustrated that it's so tough to use sick days when I feel like that. I think sick...

    How many are too many?

    It sounds like a lot to me. I would have gone crazy as a kid. Of course, I'm the artistic type, and I need time to get lost in my head. If I didn't have that time as a child I would've never developed the fiction skills I have now. Sometimes parents have a funny notion of what success is in...

    What's Your Exercise Program?

    I like to do the whole gamut. I really want to build some strengths, so I usually workout with free weights. Also, I think cardio exercise is important. I usually run around the track at my gym. However, I've been kind of lazy about keeping up with it. I really need to get back on track:(

    Do You Take Vitamins and Supplements?

    I try to take vitamins, but I'm so bad about remembering. I'm a vegetarian, too. I really should be taking them. I really love herbal supplements, as well. Anyone else a fan of herbal supplements?
