kattghoti I have a mild care of MR. Worries the heck out of my mother, but in my 23 years, it has never bothered me. I played sports in high school, but I wasn't allowed in the military. Due to present circumstances, I'm pretty glad about that!

I am not fond of wearing dark nail polishes like black and deep reds and purples. They may look sexy and elegant but I hate it when they stain my nails yellow. The yellow stains are quite hard to remove so my only option is to...

kattghoti Put a clear basecoat down first. Also, look for polishes without formaldehyde. That's typically what stains your nails. I love wearing dark colors, and I never get yellow nails because of this.

I don't know if there are other sites ( not Ebay) where you can sell your items (crafts or other) but there is this site that I think it's easy to use: www.newbazaar.com If you know this one say what you think about and if you...

kattghoti My personal favorite is http://www.etsy.com. It's free to use, $.20 to list, and there is only a 3.5% selling fee (you pay nothing more that $.20 if it doesn't sell). There is a wonderful community and great variety.

A coworker gave me one of those pads awhile back, and i was really impress. I tried the electrical pads and they did not work. I use the rice pack for a half an hour and what a difference. I just donated my electrical pad to...

kattghoti I use rice. These puppies are great when you have an ear ache or a sinus headache too. Especially with the sinus headache, because that little bit of weighted pressure feels nice (to me anyway...)

Well, on Monday I had an echo cardiogram done for the first time. It went pretty good. the tech had on some classical music which really helped keep things calm. It was interesting to see the inside of the heart and the valves...

kattghoti I've never had to sit in a waiting room full of people for any of my heart check ups. Every time I've changed into a gown, I was in the exam room already. I don't think I would enjoy the waiting room, and I would definitely go to the cardiologist even less...

I saw on TV someone saying how duct tape removes warts by suffocating them. Has anyone tried this? If this is true then how long would you think you'd have to walk around with duct tape on yourself?

kattghoti Tried it... Didn't really work. It helped peel away some of the skin, but time really was all it took. I've had plantar warts for 12 years, and suddenly over the last couple of months they've disappeared. The only thing I've changed is my body wash, but I...

kattghoti I'm against them. I don't understand why stores insist on using them as the standard. At my grocery store, you have to beg the baggers to use paper. They never ask, they just start loading it into plastic. Who wants to carry 45 plastic bags home with them when...

kattghoti Agreed. When I found out about my (way bigger than it should be) tax return, I decided immediately that 2/3 was going toward my debt. 1/3 is almost three months worth of student loan payments! That's pretty significant.

I started working on a dress from Simplicity Threads pattern 4072, but I have hit a snag. The bodice piece doesn't line up with the neck band. I've lined up all the seams and the notches, and still there are major gaps where one...

kattghoti The odd part is that both pieces are too big in different places. The part I'm working on is banding around the neckline. The band is too big on the sides, and the bodice is too big at the back of the neck. I think I'm just going to have to play around with...

kattghoti That's a good point--save on the stuff that doesn't mean as much, then you'll have money left over for the really great stuff.

kattghoti I wonder what it is that makes people NEED to spend money as soon as they have it. It's really hard for most people to save and be conservative.
