Jimlos Tatooth @Ineeddentures (4382) 9 Jun

Grapes How do you remove the skin before you eat them My hands are not as nimble as they used to be and this is a task I find impossible to do. Yvonne eats them with the skin on. Red or Green or even Black Purple as well...

Who married you?

Amber @AmbiePam (99175) • United States 8 May

I’m not married, but my sister is about to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary, and our dad actually conducted the ceremony to marry her and my brother-in-law. I thought that was sweet, but if I were to get married anytime soon...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43720) • United States 10 May

I made the most amazing discovery last week. I have taken Gabapentin for a couple of years since I had breast cancer and a partial lung removed. It worked well for nerve pain. But for a good while now I've been really concerned...

J.N.R Dutton I try to avoid medication as much as possible, I am glad your steadiness improved. The worst side effect I ever had was from a med called baclofen, and my father quickly took me off of it, thankfully. I am just glad the side effect wasn't permanent.

Budding Artist

Amber @AmbiePam (99175) • United States 19 Mar

You guys might remember my 13 year old niece, Amyra, is an artist. This is her most recent work. It’s the Disney Princess, Aurora, from “Sleeping Beauty”. Not a lot of kids dress up as Aurora, do they.

How much are you willing to pay for a pillow?

Amber @AmbiePam (99175) • United States 18 Mar

I noticed my pillow needed replacing. It looks like the material has gotten snagged on something, and it has rips. Since I got it for free to review, I thought okay, I’ll just look it up, and buy another of the same kind. After...

J.N.R Dutton $50 is excessive for a pillow when a decent one can be bought for around half of that. Hope you find one for a reasonable price that suits you just as well as the expensive one.

J.N.R Dutton There are a lot of things I think back on and wonder about. I know the mind isn't exactly camcorder accurate and that sometimes our minds fill in gaps simply with plausible scenarios, which makes for interesting memories sometimes.
