I'm sure you are all sick of reading about it (if you read my posts) so hopefully this will be the last one for awhile. (no promises though!) My dad had a horrible accident in the ocean 2 years ago yesterday. After being...

Slower Dancing Songs: Daydream Believer

Four Walls @FourWalls (78439) • United States 3 Sep

No, this one isn’t for heavy duty dancing. That’s the point of this month’s countdown: to make it up to one of our myLotters (@rebelann ), who’s had “too much” dancing from too many of my songs. So, for this month, it’s hits...

Bensen32 I still like this mellow song, not what I would say is my favorite or even fit into what I usually listen to, but still a good song. I think Stepping Stone is closer to what I would normally listen to.

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (4905) • United Kingdom 18h

Bensen32 More than likely, I would have responded to the invite that I would not be coming due to the no children or if I had depending on who's wedding it was, I would just let them know no babysitter, so I won't be coming.

I ate at Arby's four times while on the road!

The Horse @TheHorse (230048) • Walnut Creek, California 20h

I have eaten escargot in Paris. Here in CA, I enjoy Thai, Indian, and Chinese cuisine regularly. But one of my favorite foods in the world is...Arby's! Specifically, Arby's classic roast beef sandwich. That thinly sliced beef....

Bensen32 Glad you got to enjoy it. I used to like them a lot more now they like everyone has cut the serving sizes and raised the prices but I am known to stop there many 2 times a year. I have the benefit of it being many 2 miles from my house. At least I save on gas...

Bensen32 Grandma was 100% Polish so yes had them many times, I have attempted to make them in the past but they were not great, so I just buy them. For me, I have always gotten the potato, cheese and the sauerkraut. I would say my favorite would be the sauerkraut.

Spaghetti sauce do you make your own, or buy it in a jar?

snowy @snowy22315 (195493) • United States 13 May

I am guessing the majority of my litters make their own, and why not? It a bit cheaper and healthier. I usually buy jarred..but I think next time I will make it homemade. If you buy it jarred, do you have a brand you like? I have...

Bensen32 I usually by Jar just cause it's easy and quick to make but now and then I make from scratch. When I buy jar I go with the 3 cheese Walmart brand, it's cheaper and I think it has a fairly good taste.

celticeagle @celticeagle (179313) • Boise, Idaho 10 Mar

With the average price of eggs at $4.99 a dozen I think a lot of people will want to find some ways of preserving them. If I find a good deal on some I will buy several dozen. It is easy to just freeze them in muffin tins. I get a...
