iftheresaway This may be a little late, but I'm actually going to take part of my honeymoon in Gatlinburg as well. My fiance and I go every year, and stay in the cabins at Brother's Cove, because they are fabulous, wonderful, excellent, incredible, etc. You could easily...

There is a small chinese restaurant near me that makes the most awesome Hunan Tofu. My fiancé and I are on a tight budget, though, and I can't afford to eat out right now. I have combed the internet, but I can't find a recipe for...

I need some ideas for low-cost meals that I can either cook in small quantities or freeze for later. I'm in college and I usually cook for just me or me and my boyfriend. I'm on a pretty tight budget, and getting bored with my...

First let me say I am an atheist. I am not "angry at God," "hate God," etc. I simply don't believe. I was around 11 when I thought of myself as an atheist for the first time. I grew up going to Christian churches, attending Young...

One of the things that I loved the most about this movie were the choices that the director made in terms of how the movie was shot, and the lighting choices. There was a lot of striking use of shadow, so that it was quite clear...

iftheresaway That's a really good point - I'm always annoyed when I see inconsistencies like the lighting issue in movies. My little brother is studying filmmaking, and his passion for the topic has taught me a lot. I see things now that I wouldn't have noticed before, and...

I know that every time a new book comes out, I always reread the old ones first, partly because I enjoy them, and partly to ground myself... I like to be really immersed in the whole Hogwarts world when I get to a new adventure....

iftheresaway Do you ever worry that you are missing out on something because you didn't reread the previous ones, or do you enjoy each book more as a stand-alone than as a part of an intricate, interrelated series?

iftheresaway "She isn't going to start acting grown?" What exactly does that mean? Should she start being less responsible? And honestly, how would an ear piercing affect one's grades? I think that the relationship is what's important - you should show your child that you...

How much do you spend on books in a month? Do you buy mostly new or used books? From a store or online? I buy most of my books from used book stores, and spend about $25 a month.
