I am not particularly sad that her show will be ending. She's been on the air for a long time, and she has managed to stay current and keep her audience. That's a tremendous feat. I'm sure she has tons of projects that she's had to put to the side because of her show and now she'll be able to focus on those things. Good for her. The one thing that I am more concerned with, living in Chicago, is...

uicbear responded to a discussion called is there any vegetable you dont eat, but you think everybody eats it? in eating.
1 day ago
I like most vegetables. The only one that I really do not like is mushrooms. The only time I will eat them is if there really is no way to pick them out of my food. Like you with the cucumbers, I think it might just be the texture I don't like more than anything else. Now, besides mushrooms, there is a vegetable that I can't eat because it makes me ill, literally, and that's spinach. I don't...

I really disliked Russell when this season first started. I think what irritated me the most was that he was trying to hurt his own tribe (remember when he dumped the water canteens?) It also irritated me, personally, how everyone just went along with what he was saying and that no one was able to out-talk him. But, that's the game I guess. He has been able to get out his biggest threats and th...

uicbear responded to a discussion called When it is Christmas Eve do you leave santa a gift from the children? in questions & answers.
1 day ago
We do the typical cookies and milk for Santa along with some carrots and celery for the reindeer. Our little boy is actually getting old enough now where he will be able to write his own note telling Santa thank-you and to enjoy his snack before he has to move on. This is one of my favorite traditions, especially since things are usually so hectic that night, I need a little snack (oh, I mean, ...

uicbear responded to a discussion called Would You Rather Wear a Uniform or Business Casual? in clothes.
17 hours ago
I work in a health-care clinic, so we have to wear scrubs. Our company wants us to look somewhat like a team, so they actually provide us with some free scrubs a couple of times a year, which is very helpful. I love the fact that I don't have to come up with an outfit to wear every day. I much prefer a set uniform, where I don't have to think about it. The schools i went to growing up, also mad...

My gift to myself isn't exactly a Christmas present, but an after Christmas present. A large group of friends are planning a trip to Las Vegas in February. I took a long time to actually commit to going because money has been so tight. But, I am fortunate to have a stable job, and I have been working alot of extra hours, so I decided that by the time that trip rolls around, I'm going to need to...

This will be the second year in a row that I will be buying very few Christmas presents. I'm really bummed out about it, but I just don't have the money. All the credit cards are gone, so that's not an option (and that's probably a good thing.) you can't spend what you don't have.I'm working very hard right now to get myself out of debt. I'm hoping that by next Christmas things will be alot les...

15 hours ago
I have to go back to the old NES system and a little game called Milon's Castle. You were this little guy hopping around looking for music notes and all kinds of things that were hidden from plain view. It started out easy, but got really difficult in the upper levels. I played this game for hours always trying to get to the next level. Some of those old games were great fun, like Kaboom, Pitfa...

I actually made my first online paycheck from a survey site that i am still a member of. My brother was trying the PTC sites and getting really frustrated, so I went a different route and tried the surveys. The site I am on is pretty decent, I can usually make about what I make here in mylot on a monthly basis if I post regularly. Since that first paycheck, I have found a few other sites that I...

uicbear responded to a discussion called I am so furious with Aidan in all my children.
17 hours ago
I think they are really throwing things all over the place and cleaning house because of the shows move to the west coast. Really, when and where did Aidan become the bad guy? I have been losing interest in this show for months because it just seems that the writers are picking story-lines for characters buy pulling them out of a bag, and not following who they have built these characters up to...
