Kids have a day off today

Dominique @dodo19 (47891) • Beaconsfield, Quebec 16 Feb

Yup, there is no school for any of my kids today. Tomorrow, my son has school but not my two eldest. I will admit that I do enjoy when they have a day off. It gives them a break from school. And it gives me a break from making...

Sandy I have never been superstitious. I just take it will the flow. 13 is my lucky number too. People think I am crazy but I can't see why they feel that way. It is a fun number.

Interesting Facts About Hair

celticeagle @celticeagle (187302) • Boise, Idaho 13 Feb

I have always had long hair. My family all have thick, fast-growing hair. No bald folks in the bunch. So, anyway I thought these hair facts might be an interesting read: * Hair grows on 30% of a women's body and 90% of a man's...

Sandy I have had long hair most of my years after I left home. I have had it below my waist three times and cut it. Hair can grow longer faster if you use reflexology for it.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126814) • United States 13 Feb

I’m a copy cat and the first to admit it

When I go to a “nice” restaurant, the way the meal is presented makes a world of difference unless the food sucks. When we go to Boston, Massachusetts for a long weekend, we always choose this French restaurant for one meal. I...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (376355) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Feb

What happened to my Shells and Cheese?

Bensen32 @Bensen32 (28658) • United States 12 Feb

Sandy That is weird. I guess as long as they were good it doesn't matter what shapes the shells are in. After a all, they will be small pieces after eating them. Sorry I couldn't resist that.
