Accounting Incentive

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 23 Mar 10

My paycheck is direct deposited into my checking account every two weeks (Friday) - no questions asked. However, for some reason that I don't quite understand, there are four times this year that we get paid the following Monday...

FaerieAne2003 Oh, no, not us. My husband's paycheck is direct deposit every other Friday as well, but the county he works for doesn't "have time" to tell them things like that. They just started that, and we never know when it's going to happen! Now, I wouldn't really mind,...

Death to Animals

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 5 Jan 10

Those that we are about to eat anyway. This discussion is really aimed at the carnivores amongst us. I am a very happy meat eater and understand pretty well the process by which our burgers, T Bone steaks, Lamb cutlets, Chicken...

FaerieAne2003 I live in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, in north Georgia near Atlanta. There are more F-150s, 30.06s, and hunting dogs than sense around here. Yes, I've watched a deer hunted down (for food, not sport) and killed, helped to clean & dress it, and...

Can You Sew?

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 15 Dec 09

I can do most domestic things in a fairly rudimentary fashion and can even sew a button on. But that's where my sewing skills end. I would love to do something as straightforward as shortening and hemming trousers, or even make a...

FaerieAne2003 I'm 24, and have a very "crafty" mother. I learned to crochet by the time I was 8, and how to use a sewing machine by age 6. I made several baby-doll blankies as a child, and my first bed-sized quilt (piecing & quilting) 3 years ago. As a teenager, I'd "cut &...

How would you shut up a screaming child in Walmart?

uath13 @uath13 (8192) • United States 14 Oct 09

Here's the scenario. Your casually shopping at Walmart & there's this obnoxious brat of a child throwing a tantrum. He's so loud the entire store can hear him. His parents aren't doing anything... What interesting methods can...

Cold chocolate makes you HOT

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 29 Jun 09

Earlier today, purely in the interests of science and on your behalf; I tested the thermodynamics of chocolate as a catalyst for perspiration. I selected a bar from Mars, fresh from the fridge, and slowly walked up the garden...

I listened to Evensong at my cathedral today and several times heard the priest say "Lettuce Spray. Now is this an organic of a non-organic spray. Don't you think that we should be told?

My child has school field trip today.

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12587) • United States 30 Oct 08

She is going to Eckerts Farm to go to the pumpkin patch. She is really looking forward to it. The farm is in Graffton Illinois. We are in Missouri. Have you ever sent you child across state lines for a school field trip? There...

FaerieAne2003 I can't imagine sending my son to public (or private) school, much less letting him cross state lines with them! I do remember having a good time on my field trips, though, several of them to the Tennessee Aquarium (I live near Atlanta, GA), but that was...

FaerieAne2003 The Harry Potter series began when I was in the 10th grade, and I've always loved the books. The movies are fantastic as well. I know a woman who won't let her teenage kids read or watch Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings because they "have too much imagination...

Voting machines could bring Election Day glitches

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12587) • United States 30 Oct 08

U.S. election watchdogs are concerned about the accuracy of electronic voting. About half of voters will use optical-scan systems; one-third will use touch screens. Several states report incidents where touch-screen machines...

FaerieAne2003 I think the whole thing is rigged anyway. Once they switched from actual paper ballots and real people counting them, the "election" turned into a farce. I sincerely believe that it doesn't matter who you vote for, those electronic machines are going to have...

Do your kids play at the table instead of eat?

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12587) • United States 10 Oct 08

My daughter takes an hour and 15 minutes to get ready for school. She is 5. So a little bit of dawdling is normal. But it is taking her almost 1/2 an hour to eat. And I am constantly telling her to eat. Most of the time she is...

FaerieAne2003 It's FAR better for her to take 1/2 hour or longer to eat her meal than for her to rush through it and overeat. It takes 20+ minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that you're full. If you eat too fast, you will probably eat too much before you realize...

A Different World!

Travelling in time needs no machine... no Tardis... not for me, anyway. All it takes is a little imagination, a little knowledge about the ancients and a high, quiet spot on the South Downs. I suppose my love of the South...
