jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 21 Oct 10

I recently decided that I absolutely had to have a steam mop after listening to my MIL rave about hers. She said it was great on the laminate and she used it all the time, she was really impressed with the thing. I liked the idea...

Do you use powder or gel detergent in your dishwasher?

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 5 Oct 10

I have always used a gel or liquid detergent in my dishwasher. I always thought that powdered detergents wouldn't really 'work' with our super hard water, just like powdered laundry detergent. Plus when we moved in to our new...

What did you do for your first wedding anniversary?

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 4 May 10

Today is our first anniversary and as of right now (10:30 am) we really don't have anything planned. I feel like we should have made a big deal out of it but it kind of snuck up on us and Tuesday is sort of a crumby day to...

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 8 Apr 10

Or do you actually like being told what to do? How do you react when someone tells you what to do? In some situations I don't like to be told what to do; if someone is telling me what to do and it's none of their business or...

What would you guys do in this situation: Yesterday someone hand delivered a plain envelope in our mailbox with no return address or anything on it. It just said some guy's full name with "Private and Confidential" written...

How do you deal with not getting your way?

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 16 Mar 10

Do you pout? Cry? Kick and scream? Or do you just accept it and move on? I guess it really depends on what it is I'm not getting my way with. Sometimes I will put on a full out pout, but that's usually if it's something little...

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 9 Mar 10

Someone was commenting on my wedding set a few weeks ago and when I said we were married last May they said 'oh, well then I guess you get another one (ring) in a few months!' I assume they meant an anniversary band but I have to...

Do you ever crave foods you don't even like?

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 26 Feb 10

This happens to me every now and then. Right now I really want a BLT but I absolutely hate raw tomatoes. Does that ever happen to you? Sometimes when I'm craving something I don't normally like I will have it and be surprised...

Have you ever outgrown a friend or had a friend outgrow you?

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 24 Feb 10

Sometimes it's inevitable - we don't always grow up at the same rate or at the same times as our friends. Sometimes that's no big deal and other times it can end a friendship. Have you ever had a friendship end because you were...

What's the worst way to wake up?

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 8 Feb 10

When you're sound asleep what's the absolute worst way to be woken up? I can think of quite a few but I think one of the nastiest ways is to hear the cat start to vomit. There's nothing worse than being half awake, still all...

This is a great frugal living/healthy eating tip

jesssp @jesssp (2712) • Canada 28 Jan 10
