Hi cutie! Yes, I do take them home. Actually, I keep a packet of different ones in a zip-lock bag in the glove compartment of my car. Sometimes when getting fast foods in the drive-through window, they forget to put them in, and it's handy to have some to use. I also keep a bunch of them in the fridge, and the extra sugars I keep in a cupboard. They're nice to stick into school, or work, lunche...

I had singing lessons many years ago, so maybe this might help. One thing to do is practice the scales...do-re-me-fa-so-la-ti-do. While you're practicing, do the scales at your normal pitch, then raise your pitch by a half (or whole) note and do them again. Each run through, jump the scale by another half-note (or whole note.) If you have a piano or something, start running through the scales a...

Very true! I've gone to a chiropractor (on and off) for at least 20-25 years. The first time, my back was so far out of whack that I could only crawl. A relative suggested this one their friend went to, and I found much relief after the very first visit. Two more visits and I was getting back to standing straight. He noticed that on x-rays that I had a bone scar where my back had a previous cra...

I don't know about other Walmarts, but ours here has a huge variety of colors and patterns, and all the different sizes. They do have the packaged sets, but I always like to buy just the flat sheets (unless they're actually for a bed and not some other sewing project.) Gosh, ours has so many colors to choose from, it's really great!! Try Walmart online, if you punch in your zip code, they can t...

Hahaha, now that IS a new one lol. No, I've never heard it called that before, although I have heard of ones where they only wanted adults present without bringing their children along. ("Adults only"...almost sounds X rated lol.) The ones I went to where kids weren't invited were at homes of older people who simply didn't want to worry about their stuff getting broken (the one had a whole lot ...

Wow! I'm with you on that, I don't think she's a sl*t at all. Just because somebody goes on a dating site doesn't mean that they are 'giving it up' to every man they have a conversation or date with on there lol. I think your cousin was probably just looking for an excuse to do name-calling and feel superior over somebody else. That's too bad your cousin plays head games like that, it's totally...

I've had a bad back since my teens when a horse I was breaking to ride stomped on my back! I do all kinds of things when it bothers me. I do gentle stretching exercizes to try and keep it limber. When it really nags me, I use a product called Theragesic. Lots of our local sports coaches have the kids use that. It's kind of like one of those icy hot type products, but this stuff is the only stuf...

Isn't it just incredible what fabric costs anymore?! Yes, I have done that kind of thing before. More when my girls were little, and less now that they're adults with their own homes. I've also bought long dresses, and skirts, and then used that fabric to make other dresses, skirts or tops. I've done block quilting from woven men's sport jackets to make simple quilts. For that it's mostly natur...
