revellanotvanella @revellanotvanella (4033) • United States 25 Sep 08

I know Christmas Cards, Hanukkah, New Years and Valentines are popular but I wondered about Halloween. I am not even a card person and its not because I do not want to be but I just get behind writing and preparing them...

ShadyGrove I usually send animated e-cards for Halloween anymore. I used to buy cards for all occasions, but life is so hectic and there is so much going on with life, family, work, chores, etc. that I send just a few cards anymore, and at least once a year (usually at...

ShadyGrove You dog has lice or fleas? I didn't know dogs got lice???? If your dog does have this, are you worried that you will get lice too? Lice are really hard to get rid off, and if your hair is near the dog's hair you could get lice to! Have you tried the lice...

I found this website that can make you some extra money with doing quick surveys, signing up for some other websites, playing games, and reading e-mails they send you. If you are interested, check out...

If you could live on another planet would you?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 26 Jan 08

At the ripe old age of 60 you have to know I've been hearing and reading about the possibility of living on Mars since I was a kid and the thought has always been in my mind. I've always had this picture in my mind of being able...

ShadyGrove I'm not sure if I would want to STAY on Mars, but I'd leap at the chance to just go out into space and see all there is to see! I would rather go on a jaunt through a worm-hole and end up somewhere else (so long as I can get back! lol), but Mars is a great...

vegetarian or non vegetarian

yoursmitesh1985 @yoursmitesh1985 (13) • India 20 Jan 08

is milk a vegetarian or non vegetarian product?

8 responses

ShadyGrove There are so many kinds of vegetarians, that milk may be fine for some and not for others. I think that it is a product derived from an animal, but since you are not eating or harming the animal that it would be ok to drink or use if you were a...

Can We Have a Discussion Without Arguing in a Pleasant Atmosphere?

Adoniah @Adoniah (7512) • United States 19 Jan 08

I was just at another Post a minute ago that was full of anger between Theists and Atheists. That is sad... When I lived on my sailboat, I met people from all over the world even when I wasn't sailing because they like to come...

ShadyGrove I think that MyLot, just like in the real world, you will find those that are negative or angry in heart and will do what they can to ruin your day or bring down the spirit; but then again there are plenty that will enjoy the moment and take it for what it is....

Buy Snacks or Sneak them Into Movies?

thrwbckjay67 @thrwbckjay67 (2870) • United States 18 Jan 08

With the rising costs of simple concessions like soda or popcorn at the movie theaters, and the rising ticket prices, do you still buy food at the theaters or do you make it a point to bring food from outside so you can save some...

ShadyGrove I try to plan on buying all of our snacks ahead of time before we go to the movies if at all possible. My boys usually want to take a friend or two and between us there are 5 to 6 that end up going to a movie. I have found that Walmart sells the smaller...

Taking being frugal too far

emeraldisle @emeraldisle (13138) • United States 23 Jun 07

I'm all for saving money and cutting bills but there comes a point when there are some things you cannot cut back on. Right now we have a neighbor behind us who instead of paying to have their garbage taken is just piling up the...

ShadyGrove If looks like you've gotten a lot of good suggestions. I would go with reporting this as well - a health hazard is a hazard, and you don't want all those nasty bugs or roaming animals finding their way into your yard or house -- with all that free mess and...

What about your bedsheets?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 12 May 07

Okay folks, help me settle an argument! According to some, your top bedsheet should be placed on the bed with the pretty side down. This supposedly allows for folding back the top edge and having a pretty side showing when the bed...

ShadyGrove I've always made the bed pretty side down - that way when you pull back the covers for looks, or when you pull them back to get into bed you'll see the nice design/pattern. Putting them on with the pretty side up you miss out on seeing the nice side as it will...

ShadyGrove Looks pretty good! Congrat's on your site. You may want to put a picture up or at least a picture of something if not you so that pic space won't be blank. This reads a little rough and could use a little tweaking: Being the Mother of 3 for 22 years and...

Do you think organic is better or is it a scam?

Lylascomments @Lylascomments (161) • United States 12 May 07

I like to use organic when I can. But is it really better for you? I know it sure is costly. I just wandered if there was anyway to prove if an orange or anything else for that matter is really organic. With the way the FDA runs...

ShadyGrove Organic foods are becoming a big thing now. I do think that they are better for you in the long run because the chemicals being used are starting to interfere with our own growth and development and we have to stop this dangerous situation. For example, the...

ShadyGrove I hope tomorrow finds you in a brighter mood. I think we all tend to go through phases where we feel down, or bored, or depressed -- I hope this passes quickly for you. You have friends here to talk to - feel better!

Optical Outlet

emeraldisle @emeraldisle (13138) • United States 6 Apr 07

For those of you in Florida you might have seen ads for Optical Outlet. To the best of my knowledge they are only here in Florida but if they are elsewhere perhaps others might want to know on this. I went to them last year for...

ShadyGrove Well that sucks! I would think an optical place would want to get it right so that you could see correctly and pass on a positive word! Glad you were able to get your money back, but what about all the other people who might not fight them or complain? That is...

My 16 year-old daughter was run off the road

FloatingGum @FloatingGum (346) • United States 12 Apr 07

Now, I'll be the first to admit I was surprised two weeks ago when she actually managed to pass her road test. I didn't feel she was ready to drive and she'd failed once already. But she passed and she had already bought a 1994...

Do you put your rubbish into the bins after your meal in the fastfood shops?

easy888 @easy888 (10404) • Australia 11 Apr 07

ShadyGrove If there is no more of a mess than to move a tray of empty food containers I'll probably move it to the trash bin area -- but I don't want to clean up a messy table (wipe up spills, etc) after some one else. I'd ask for assistance at the counter if there was...
