    Helping Others... Granting Wishes

    Is anyone else here involved with Wish Upon a Hero? I started last week and it has been soooo rewarding for me! If you want to know more about what it is, PM me... I'm not sure if we can put links here. And no, I don't get anything out of it for sharing the website. :D Well, scratch...

    Are you doing anything special to keep the swine flu... or at least spring colds, away from your family?

    Streaming Television via Computer?

    Anyone watch television, especially from other countries, on the computer? I wish I'd have a faster connection because that would be a lot of fun! Sometimes I can get snatches but I'd like to be able to watch the whole shows with a faster connection. :)

    Ya Know, I Don't Miss It!

    I rarely turn the television on anymore. The weather channel once in a while... the news more rarely and only when something's going on. Last time was the shooting at the Holocaust Museum. If I've had a really bad day, (if this gets out, my rep will be totally shattered! hehe), I watch...

    Any Big Father's Day Plans?

    What will you all be doing for Dad's day on Sunday? Nothing in particular here but my daughter will present a gift and we'll have a special meal. We're going on a mini road trip the following week, so we'll call that part of Father's Day, too.

    Any Other Sushi Lovers?

    I really like sushi and had some yesterday... yum! Anyone else here like it? I don't go for the uncooked kinds, though... my sushi buffet offers only varieties that are not raw. Safety issues most likely. I like cream cheese and faux crab in there with the seaweed sheet and cuke stick. I...

    Recipe Software?

    Is there a recipe software that you use for organization of your recipes? Mine are soooo scattered here and there. I try to keep the ones we reallly liked separated so I can find them again easily but I'm losing the battle! :eek:

    Another Hate Crime :-(

    The whole country is certainly volatile, isn't it? :( How sad for the guard at the Holocaust Museum... and his family. It seems like one of the safest buildings one could visit! And the killer... ooops, I'm a journalist... "alleged" killer being so old and a former member of OUR military...

    Tornado Season

    Are you in an area that's prone to tornados or hurricanes? We've had a lot more tornadoes over the last decade than usual. The only thing I get here from hurricanes is the downpours sometimes but the tornadoes are terrifying. Are you prepared for a disaster with a survival kit?

    Kung Fu's David Carradine Dead

    I haven't heard any details yet, just the news bulletin I received in my email. He was in his early 70s, I believe. Did anyone watch and enjoy Kung Fu?

    Which Show Would You Bring Back?

    If you could bring back just one of the television shows from your childhood, with new episodes, which would it be?

    Chewable Vitamins? Powdered?

    What's your favorite kind of chewable or powdered vitamin? I currently have the Centrum Chewable but the only powered supplement I've tried is Emergen-C for the vit C.

    Memorial Day!

    Happy Memorial Day, everyone. It's a sad one for me because the aunt I was closest to died yesterday. I am kind of numb and horrified at the services that I'll have to attend tomorrow and Wednesday. :( But I'm still trying to make the best of today. I've already made potato salad to go...

    Rising Utility Costs... Why NOW?!

    Okay, that's not actually a question because I'm not sure it has an answer... BUT while I realize that "everyone's out to make a buck" why do you think every single ONE of my utilities has risen in cost in the last few months? Why do the utility corporations think common folks in a horrid...

    Summer Meals

    What's your favorite meal to serve when it's too hot to spend much time cooking? I like things like pasta salad best for those days... well, if my husband can't bring pizza or hoagies home, that is. :D

    What's the First Thing You'd Give Up?

    If the need would arise, what's the first thing you'd give up to save money for the household? I've thought this over and I'm pretty sure that the first thing to go would be the cable. I rarely watch television and I could get news and weather on the 'net. Anyone else?

    Ouch, That Pinches! :-(

    Wow, talk about the economy going downhill fast. :( My husband was just forced to take a pay cut. TWENTY FIVE percent. I think maybe 10% I could have handled mentally but this is rather steep, isn't it? I know it's easy to say (and true) that it's better than not having a job, and sure it...

    Hey Moms! What Will You Do?

    For all you moms on the forum, what will you be doing for Mother's Day? For me it will be a great meal out with the family. I already know about my gift, too... a new piece for my main collection. :D

    Roadside Stands!

    I'm so glad that it's time for roadside stands to open again! Do you buy your summer fruits and veggies from stands like that? The thing I miss most is raspberries to make a raspberry custard. :D

    Too Much News?

    With all the cable news that's available to us 24/7, do you feel it's too much? We need to know the news, sure, but I mean do you think that some of the stories are carried much too long? Or is so much coverage of the same issue necessary? For me, it's split. For something like 9-11 or...
