manya_pearl @manya_pearl (1901) • Singapore 22 Feb 08

Heheh... Tiramisu is my fave cake, since i am a coffee addict. But i do not know how to cook it, all i know is eating tiramisu! Last time i tried to cook it, and that "tiramisu" is not a "tiramisu".... hahaha... i just wondered,...

mom2chriskel Yes, I LOVE it. I can't really eat it since I'm a diabetic but I make my husband get when we are out so that I can take a few bites of his. I have recipes to make it but I can't find the Mascarpone cheese at my grocery store. I'm assuming I'll have to go...

mom2chriskel I've used yahoo for years and prefer to use it over the others. I used to use AIM long ago when I first got online. But now I use yahoo and sometimes my MSN messenger is on.

School closing announcements on tv driving me crazy!

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 22 Feb 08

Today in MA we are having an unbelievable snow storm. The mayor has declared a snow emergency in the state so obviously all the schools are closed. Subway trains are getting stuck and buses are barely running and those that are...

mom2chriskel People should use common sense. But then you'd be amazed at how many schools don't cancel. We just had every day of our Easter vacation taken away from us because of snow days so we had school yesterday and the roads were terrible yesterday morning (over 380...

losing weight

hersheyskiss @hersheyskiss (761) • United States 22 Feb 08

I need to lose weight, but I can't really walk a lot due to my knee. Can any of you give me suggestions for exercises that will allow me to lose weight without having to walk a lot?

mom2chriskel I'm pretty sure you don't have to know how to swim. I was watching the ladies this past week and they only went to about mid chest level and you do it in the shallow end of the pool.

Chicken stock-canned or homemade?

lilybug @lilybug (21107) • United States 22 Feb 08

Do you use canned chicken broth or do you make your own? I do both. It depends on how much time I have to invest in a meal. I have a bunch of stock in the freezer that I made a few months ago. Sometimes I use it, but other times I...

mom2chriskel I prefer to use canned because I think the taste is stronger BUT it has more sodium in it which I have to watch my intake.

mom2chriskel Water Aerobics and swimming would be the best. The water would take the weight of your body off your knee while you still got some exercise in and it is good for your whole body. I know that I hate to swim but I was thinking of joining the water aerobics class...

What was your first thought when your alarm clock went off this morning?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 21 Feb 08

What was your first thought when your alarm rang this morning? Mine was, "Oh my goodness why did I stay up so late watching those three shows that I previously recorded?"

mom2chriskel Normally on a Friday it would be, I get to sleep in tomorrow. But today was I wanna go back to sleep, I have to much to do today. I have to bake 6 cakes, bake 72 rolls (I bought the rest already made), get groceries and take my kids to school.

Do you lock your car doors when you are driving your car?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 5 Feb 08

I have heard two different opinions about the practice of locking car doors and I really am stumped! I drive on a road that is beside a river on many days. A lot of people say that if one plunges into a body of water with the...

mom2chriskel I don't lock my doors unless I'm in the city and we are stopping and starting a lot. If I don't trust where I'm at, then I lock. I've honestly never thought about keeping the doors unlocked when by a body of water. We used to live along the coast and there...

Your gas tank....do you keep it full or just a little here and little there?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 19 Feb 08

We ran out for a quick bite to eat tonight and since hubby parked bahind me in the drive, we took his car. We normally take mine as it gets much better gas mileage. I noticed immediately that the alert light was on which signals...

mom2chriskel We fill up the whole way. My husband drives 45 minutes to work (that is one way) so he can't afford to let the tank go low. Especially in the winter since he travels the interstate. You never know if there will be an accident and you have to sit forever....

Water Heaters

Modestah @Modestah (11177) • United States 20 Feb 08

(I almost wrote hot water heaters, but I hear some people have a peeve against that, hehe) Is it frugal to turn off the water heater during non peak hours such as overnight, or does it take just as much energy to heat it up...

mom2chriskel No we don't switch ours off and on. For one it would be a pain in the behind to get to it so that we could turn it off and on. And I don't have that much patience in the morning to wait for it to heat back up so I can get in the bath. But I don't think it...

mom2chriskel I can agree to disagree with everyone but my husband....LOL. I always want to be right. He lets me believe I am right unless he truly believes in the argument. Then he will fight about it. Otherwise he lets me win. Not because he is weak but because it is just...

mom2chriskel No, it isn't ok to cheat, whether it is emotionally or physically, it is never ok. If you don't want to be with your spouse or your significant other, let them on so they can move on to be with someone else who loves them and won't hurt them. I don't...

Small dogs or big dogs

RowenaTheWitch @RowenaTheWitch (947) • Italy 21 Feb 08

Do you prefer small dogs or big dogs? I like small dogs so much, they are cute and fuzzy, instead big dogs scare me and some of them are dangerous. I'd love to have a small dog in my house but I can't :( (my house is little)

mom2chriskel Small dogs can be dangerous too. When they bite, they bit just as hard. IMO, little dogs are more ferocious than big dogs. My one grandma always had poodles and I couldn't go around the one because it didn't like more...seriously for no reason. And then she...

mom2chriskel I think they do cross the line. I don't think they deserve to be stalked at all. And I believe that is what happens to celebs. They can't even go out for a simple date for Valentine's Day without all of us knowing what they did. It is ridiculous. And...

mom2chriskel WeightWatchers does really work. It isn't so much a diet but helps you change your lifestyle. It helps you work on portion control while still being able to eat a candybar if you want. I mean, you can't go and eat all your allowed points with candy bars and...

mom2chriskel I would love to be able to read in the car but I get car sick if I do read. It gives me the worst headache. We drive 10 hours to visit my husband's mom and I would LOVE to be able to take a book to read.
