I was thinking about getting into sewing. I've never really done it before. How much are sewing machines and fabric? I can never seem to find clothes that fit me, this way the clothes would be to my measurements. Also this way I...

I always recycle and make sure my kids do the same. I thought I was making a difference and that it was a good thing. In my city garbage is collected in one day, and recycling in another, but in other ones it's done at the same...

mergl81 I think more people should recycle. If everyone would the environmetn would be so much better. They should make it a law everywhere to recycle. It's just sad if people are putting forth the effort to do it and they just dump it all in the same landfill...

I love the idea of borrowing a cup of sugar from a neighbor. It's neat to think you have a whole neighborhood of potential grocery resources when I am in a pinch or forgot something. And I don't mind at all when someone asks...

mergl81 I think it's okay to borrow things that are not expensive. I always get nervous when borrowing expensive things anyway so I'd rather not. Also if you are going to let someone borrow something make sure it's someone you can trust. I don't mind letting people...

mergl81 You can try www.ichef.com and www.recipegodlmine.com The second has recipes from all over the world. So if your trying to make dishes from other countries this is useful.

I'm all for people posting about a good opportunity that they know from proof of payment is good and not a scam. But I found it now frustrating because I see many posts about a new opportunity but they don't really know if it will...

mergl81 I completely agree with you. I think if people want to post the sites they use here they should wait until they know for sure that they are going to get paid. There are too many scams out there to try them all. It wastes time.

Yesterday we picked up an iguana and he's not in the best shape. He's 3 1/2' tp 4' long. He looks dehydrated and he's got a bad temperment. I know he's stressed from being moved to a new home but the cage the people kept him in...

What do you think is better? What are the differences in taking care of each kind of cat? When me and my husband decide to get a cat should we make it an indoor cat only?

mergl81 Yeah I've heard about soft paws. Do you use them?

mergl81 This is probably true if you have a well behaved pet. My dog drives me nuts. I think she ups my blood pressure. I guess we just have a personality clash. She's more my husbands dog than mine anyway. I guess it is nice though when she's calm and snuggles on the...
