Alternative energy...

andy77e @andy77e (5156) • United States 25 Aug 11

Some people asked why some are against alternative energy. There's a number of reasons for this. Of course the most important reason is... they don't work. *GASP*! But I am open minded, if you have an example of a working...

MrsHorton1120 This is something I really want to try and if I can pick a language then I will probably try Rosetta Stone. I tried a PC program in Spanish when I was younger but I didn't progress enough for sentences. I wish you luck though.

Which do you prefer most? Natural remedies or Over the counter drugs?

anex08 @anex08 (868) • Philippines 23 Jun 08

MrsHorton1120 Have you tried Instant grits? (not real ones, it must be instant) Basically they take the grits back to their homes and once they eat them and have water the grits expand and kill the entire colony. I use them like crazy. Keep them dry and replace them often.
