ECH107 I love my baby nephew and look forward to watching him grow up. He has a stay-at-home father to watch over him.

accents

ECH107 @ECH107 (108) • Austria 6 Jul 12

Do you have a difficult time understanding different types of accents? When I watch British movies with my friends, she has a hard time with the accents and sometimes is completely lost. I have little or no problems.

Too many onions

SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32189) • United States 6 Jul 12

Someone in the family bought too many onions for the fourth, and so I guess I'm going to start dicing them, slicing them, and using some as onion rings. I'll have some in eggs, and some just carmelized on top of chips. I know...

ECH107 You could find a means of preserving them through drying or jarring them. Otherwise, maybe give some away to your neighbors.

ECH107 I didn't really miss Illinois when I was living on the West coast. I saw a big difference in the lifestyle and the people, however. Now I am back home and really enjoy the familiarity.

When your partner goes out of town, do you eat food that they don't like?

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 6 Jul 12

I'm pretty lucky that my husband is a food lover. There isn't much that he doesn't eat and even if its something he doesn't like, he will try it again. He is going out of town for a week and I'm going to go 100% vegan (really the...

ECH107 I went through a time of going to buffets on my own and spoiling myself with sweets. Now I am lazy and just get a sandwich or buy convenience fast foods when I am on my own. I enjoy going out to eat more when there is somebody to share with.

I am having problems with fruit flies in my house. They are multiplying rapidly. They can pick out anything sweet lying around the house. I itch just looking at them.

Washing on Holidays?

3SnuggleBunnies @3SnuggleBunnies (16374) • United States 5 Jul 12

Yesterday was the fourth of July. I was so waiting for my hubby to ask me if I ever take a day off when it comes to laundry? I usually do 1-2 loads a day on my days off. I have more days off then I do working so why not? I did do...

ECH107 lol. Sometimes I expect people to be out partying at certain times and they're always like, "just doing laundry at home." Laundry is very important for hygienic and self-esteem reasons, so I totally understand.

Linda4ualways @Linda4ualways (2282) • United States 5 Jul 12

She was the love of our lives and loved everyone. she ran out the house in front of a speeding car and died. The neighbor that killed her had nothing to say or even a care in the world about us losing a very dear loved one. I miss...

ECH107 I am sorry to hear this. I feel that my housepets are so well-treated that they are a bit naive and do not know fear. They haven't really faced danger. I am sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like she was a great companion. I recently lost my cat and was...

ECH107 Is it hard to stock up on food and save it for later? This is why I love busy suburbs and cities. It's easier to find what I need...and so many options. Try to plan things out so that you always have what you need stocked up. good luck

ECH107 There is nothing worse than being tired for me. It makes the world of difference in perspective, stress, and being able to think clearly. When I sleep well, I feel as if I can take on the world and not get boggled by my workload or by stress from others. Try...

ECH107 It's tempting to bookmark everything you like. Try to categorize them so that they are easier to navigate if you don't plan on deleting any. I avoid bookmarking things that I will not look at more than once, or I attach it to a reminder instead of saving it to...

leafygreens08 @leafygreens08 (754) • United States 5 Jul 12

I keep hearing from people in my writers group that they like to attend some Writers Conventions. I would go but they are so expensive. Like some of the clubs a writer may want to join, conventions run into the hundreds of dollars...

ECH107 No, I don't see any point. I've always loved to write, but hated my honors English classes and my university lit courses. I look for advice by asking for it, but hate being overly structured in my projects. I guess I prefer freedom in the arts, be it writing,...

Why Do I Do This???

LilyoftheThorns @LilyoftheThorns (12918) • United States 5 Jul 12

Okay, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who blanks on certain things as soon as I start taking a test - it's nerves and panic! That's understandable to me... But wha drives me crazy (about myself) is I OFTEN put a wrong answer,...

ECH107 It is all mental. Maybe take some practice tests and visualize yourself in the place of being about to take a test. It is normal to get nervous in the situation. Honestly, from personal experience, I grew out of feeling fear and tension over many situations...

How special that first cuddle is

dansazz @dansazz (1058) • United States 5 Jul 12

It happens only once per kid, that first cuddle. It is a wonderful, special moment in life. It makes tears come to your eyes. I remember my first cuddle with both of my children, and each one was so special to me. I will remember...

ECH107 Babies need to be held so that they feel emotion and compassion as they grow. If they are not held enough, the could possibly die. They need to form attachment and a healthy relationship. The first time I held my nephew was very special
