Well, another one of those days.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (83920) • Daytona Beach, Florida 9 Apr

It finally cleared up about an hour ago, but George is still staying on the couch. He's grazed on some things, I've done laundry, and overall the day has gone okay. It is already warming up. Florida for you in spring. It wasn't...

The Horse @TheHorse (236607) • Walnut Creek, California 11 Apr

I'm feeling a bit "meh" this morning. But I have six students at Guitar Center, starting at 10 AM, so it's time to fire up. My first student is Christopher, the possibly-autistic kid with a great ear for music. He has been...

Your Favorite Sauce

Amber @AmbiePam (117349) • United States 11 Apr

Sauces matter to a lot of people. Do you have an omelette? If there is no salsa, I’ll take a bit of hot sauce (only a bit). If someone is making pasta, I’m hoping for pesto. The other day, @Traceyjayne taught me more about this...

Valerie J. Routhieaux I make my own sauce. I don't buy them. The sodium in them is over the top. I can't have all that sodium, so if I need a sauce for anything, I make it myself.

Do you like doing things on your own?

lovely @augusta123 (8812) 9 Apr

I believe doing things as a team will certainly bring more results. It is basically how we can look at life and be sure that we have those pushing us to become better. That aside, some like doing things alone. Are you that type...

What are your favorite news sources?

The Horse @TheHorse (236607) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Apr

Many of us probably have friends and relations who say things like,"I don't follow the news; it's too depressing." I try not to be judgmental, but I sometimes think such people are just being "intellectually lazy." The fact is...

Valerie J. Routhieaux You can put me in the intellectually lazy category. I seriously do not watch the news. Every time I do, it depresses the heck out of me. If I had to choose, I'd have to go with Fox.
