GoGirl149 started a new discussion called When was the last time you wrote a cheque? or a check?:) in life.

In Canada we spell it cheque, in some parts of the world it's a check. Either way it's pronounced the same and it's a piece of paper that you fill out to give money to someone else through your bank account. In 1994 I opened a chequing account and ordered 200 cheques. I still have over 60 left. I refuse to order new cheques even thought my address is no longer the same as the one written on ...

Chick Peas Let me explain ... My boyfriend and I love a yummy yummy soup, especially a creamed soup. That is, a soup that has been blended so that it has a smooth texture. My creamed soups are vegetable based, as the thought of blending meat kinda grosses me out. So while my soups tastes great, without any meat they lack protein and thus don't make for a complete meal on their own. Then...

Today the sun set at 4:24 pm. When I left work it was already dark. I find this time of year very hard for me. I don't have the energy to do anything after work. I come home, eat, and then go to bed (where I watch TV for 2 hours before actually sleeping). Do you find you have less energy when the seasons change?

The best game I ever saw at a baby shower was the clothes hanging game. The goal of the game is to have the participants (one at a time) try to hang as many clothes on the clothesline as they can, while at the same time holding a baby and talking on the phone. What you need: A long strong rope to act as a clothesline. Two volunteers to hold the clothesline up. A cordless phone. A doll t...

I try my best not to fart in public. If I really need to let one rip, I will go to the washroom and even try to release the fart while the toilet flushes to mask the sound. That's for public places. At home we couldn't care less about farting. When my boyfriend farts I usually say, "Bless You," as if it were a sneeze. We joke about how horrible our farts smell, and often we blame the cats f...

Come to Quebec, our highways are like roller coasters ... very bumpy roller coasters. But seriously, you can go on the SixFlags website and have a look at all their amusement parks and plan a trip to one of those.

It's a great little gadget, but I just don't like it!Mine is a big machine, and I have very little counter space. So after I use it each time I have to pack it away. It's a pain to hide it and unhide it each time. I am also doing something wrong, because each time my loaves come out bad ... cooked on the outside, raw on the inside, rise too much, don't rise enough, tasting weird. I suspect I a...

Legumes. Cheap, full of protein (and gas). Lentils are my favourite. Google "Greek Lentil Soup" for some great recipes. Or you can add a can of white beans to a vegetable soup to make it a complete meal.

I do it all the time, and I don't have kids!There have been many times that I've been too hungry to shop, so rather than head home,I just put a fresh baguette in my cart, and eat half the loaf as I perused the aisles. It's to the stores benefit if people like me are well fed while shopping, we tend to spend a lot more time in the store and end up buying a lot more too. I guess the only p...
