Do you not put any butter on bread because butter is fat? I think butter just goes so good with bread, it feels like missing something if eating bread without butter. I know it is not good for us if eating too much butter but......

jtr115 I do enjoy butter on my bread from time to time. I've had to cut back a bit because I'm on a diet. Occasionally, I will put honey on my bread instead of butter since it has fewer calories and no fat. Sometimes using both honey and butter is a great treat.

jtr115 The DVD recorder owner's manual should tell you whether it uses DVD-R/RW or DVD+R discs. I accidentally bought the wrong type of discs the first time because I didn't realize there was a difference.

I really want to go on a cruise for my 21st birthday this coming May, however, I've never been on a cruise in my life! I'm not a huge fan of the ocean. I'll sit and look at it but I don't like the idea of getting in the water. I...

jtr115 I haven't heard about all of the episodes yet, but at least two of the Black family were in the debut episode. Whether they remain on the show could depend upon whether Larry reunites with Cheryl. The story arc with the "Seinfeld" reunion will likely make way...
