OF all your travels..what was the fanciest, most expensive hotel you ever stayed at? How much did it cost? Did you book it online or call up hotels from the yellow pages? I would say the most expensive is where I am...

blueunicorn It really wasn't too bad once you consider we got 4 meals out of it- two meals at the happy hour, then 2 breakfasts. The B&B was near the Grand Canyon Railroad, which we had riden on that day as a tour.

blueunicorn I absolutely LOVE my DVR! I prefer to watch TV this way so I can see the shows on my own time and fast forward through the commercials.

blueunicorn I thought I had my first daughter's name picked, too. Two months before she was born my husband said he wasn't sure he wanted to go with that name afterall. Argh!

blueunicorn Oh, you've got to see The Office. It is hilarious! It is not a show I would have put on the TV by myself, but a friend insisted a watch a couple of episodes when I was over. Now I'm hooked. I love Hulu for the shows that have been canceled.

blueunicorn Hmmm, that sounds interesting. I'm not normally into anything SciFi, but it can't hurt to try out this show. My husband will probably really enjoy it. We got the DVR with the cable, so I'll probably have it full in the first week just trying all these great...

blueunicorn Thanks! Those are some great recommendations. I had forgotten about In Plain Sight. We watched the first season on DVD and really enjoyed it. I will check out The Closer. I've heard of it but never gotten to see an episode. I do like Royal Pains. Well,...

blueunicorn Smoking less is a good start. The Chantix has some weird side effects and you have to have a prescription from a doctor, so it can get pretty expensive to try. I would read about it on-line before making your appointment with your doctor so you can ask him/...

blueunicorn Paying rent for a whole year is a good idea. I love not having a house payment, and I'm sure it's a similar relief with having rent paid up for a year.

blueunicorn As long as what the other person is doing is not a danger to you or your family, it is worth accepting that person for who they are and not disowning them. We all come to terms with things in our own time, and to say you want nothing to do with a person could...

blueunicorn Ms, I noticed that, too. Many of the foods I have bought lately have absolutely no taste to them. Unfortunately when that happens I am just not satisfied, so I wind up eating something else and overeating. I think that's what the companies are hoping for. Ugh,...

blueunicorn I've noticed that about cheese, too. I think people will all be plastic in the next 20 years. I don't think we eat anything natural anymore. That's too bad. Thanks for the welcome back. I'll be popping in and out!

blueunicorn I definitely believe that kind of stuff happens. I'm just not sure I would call it an addiction. I would probably say a lack of restraint or a problem with time management. Then again, I'm not an addiction expert. I think too many times, though, we allow the...
