What is your most extreme/bizarre tip for saving money?

akyles11 @akyles11 (11) • United States 19 Oct 07

I consider myself very frugal, but by my grandmother's standards, I squander. As a child of the Great Depression, she saves EVERYTHING. While cleaning out her basement, we found a bag of underwires from bras that had long since...

Halloween: Why do some families choose not to celebrate?

akyles11 @akyles11 (11) • United States 18 Oct 07

I understand some families choose not to celebrate Halloween? Why is that? The original satanic undertones of the holiday have long since gone away. It is an innocent holiday for children to have fun. Why make your children feel...

akyles11 I guess my question was directed towards those who don't celebrate it for religious reasons do to its underlying satanic tones. I was aware of Mexico's celebration of All Saints Day, but I wasn't aware that Philippines did as well! Thanks for the post.

The movie or book?

angiemac4444 @angemac23 (2003) • Canada 7 Oct 07

Which do you prefer? The movie or the book? I have not watched the movie yet, but loved the book. Is it worth my time to watch the movie or is the book better?

akyles11 Without a thought, the book!!! Although both are great, the book truly conveys Scarlett's hard will and determination. She is a huge inspiration in the book and is portrayed as a spoiled brat in the movie. Scarlett is a women who, with her extreme faults,...

Corporal Punishment: Do you spank your children?

akyles11 @akyles11 (11) • United States 18 Oct 07

I have a one year old daughter who I have been very careful in discipling. One is too young to spank, but I am wrestling with the decision. Should I or shouldn't I (in the future of course). What about in your home? Do you spank...
