teagsmom My son is Teaguen James. We had a hard time finding boy names that we like, and finally I found it in a book of Irish and Celtic names. It means poet, which I love since I'm a former English major! Also, my husband is Irish, so it worked perfectly! James is...

teagsmom I think that I'm one of the few people in this world who still writes checks! Beyond that, I typically use cash or debit card. I don't like to use credit cards too often because, even with the best intentions, I rarely pay it all off each month. I don't...

Soup Survey-Campbell's or Progresso?

princess07031980 @princess07031980 (5412) • United States 3 Mar 07

I love canned soup, for the flavor, convenience, and nutrition. I am not very brand picky, but the last 3 cans of soup I have eaten have been Progresso, and I would rate all 3 awful! Very bland flavor, lacking much heartiness,...

teagsmom That sounds so interesting! I've never thought of turning mashed potatoes into a sweet tasting dish. I've always considered mashed potatoes as a savory food. I'm compelled to try it, but I wonder how it would go over with the family.

Who is the saver or spender?

margieanneart @margieanneart (26423) • United States 3 Mar 07

Those of you that are living or married with someone, who is the saver of money? Who is the spender? I am the saver, and the one who pays the bills. But, hubby works outside hard.

teagsmom I'm the saver, but I've recently gotten my hubbie on board with saving as much as possible. I stay at home and he works hard for us, so it's hard for me to try to kabash some of his spendthrift tendancies. But, now we've worked hard for a while to get our...

Apple pies made with red hots

bucksbunny @bucksbunny (45) • United States 25 Feb 07

Years ago, my first mother-in-law used to make her apple pies with red hots in them. They were the best apple pies I ever tasted. Anyone ever made one cause since it was so long ago, I forgot how many to put in and how much sugar...

teagsmom What a cool idea! I never would have thought to use red hots in pie making! Have you noticed that red hots seem to be harder to find these days? I tried to find them for my holiday baking and had to search all over for them. I've kept my eyes out since that...

Taking hubby's last name

mememama @mememama (3076) • United States 16 Feb 07

Do you think it's important to take your husbands last name when you get married? Did you change yours? Or did you hyphenate it? If you kept your maiden name, or hyphenated it and have children, what last name or combo did they...
