Looking for a soup recipe

hsmom2boys @hsmom2boys (134) • United States 11 Aug 07

My best friend makes this soup that I love and I'm hoping someone can help me find the recipe. My best friend refuses to give it to me, claiming she doesn't know it exactly either. I know that it comes from the Puerto Rican side...

What do you think about the latest movie "Order of the Phoenix"?

Grammar, spelling, and blogging

hsmom2boys @hsmom2boys (134) • United States 9 May 07

I've noticed that people tend to not care much about their grammar and spelling in things belonging to the internet (ie. blogs, message boards, im). Most of the time I ignore it, as my own spelling/grammar isn't the best either....

Why do we, americans, feel it necessary to fix the world before our own country?

hsmom2boys @hsmom2boys (134) • United States 21 Apr 07

I love my country, really I do, but I've come to the point where I can't just sit back and watch. Everyday, I see more groups trying to help the poor and starving in places, that undeniably need the help, but what about the poor...

hsmom2boys @hsmom2boys (134) • United States 13 Apr 07

I've tried everything I know to teach my oldest son (almost 5) that it's not ok to talk to people he doesn't know without me around. I don't want to freak him out, but I want him to know that it can be dangerous. I've used books,...
