ycswid My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Yesterday was not a good day for me. I gave into the "eat when I'm feeling stressed" monster putting me over my usually daily intake by about 500 calories, but that was yesterday and today...

When do you make your bed? Some people make their bed as soon as they arise, others wait for awhile. Some folks make their beds before getting into it and some never make theirs. I make my bed an hour or two after waking. I need...

ycswid In our home the person who is last out of bed makes it. Sometimes that is hubby (if he's off work and sleeping late) and sometimes it's me. I've found that by only having a comforter on the bed it makes it so very easy to just pull it up and straighten up the...

I very much enjoy adding ginger root to my stir-fry however too often when I go to use the piece that I have previously purchased I find it unusable mostly due to mold. How much ginger root do you purchase? How do you store...

ycswid There is only one person that I have gone to see in concert over the last 5 years and that is Melissa Etheridge and only if I can get into the first 10 rows. She is amazing to watch live and I'll continue to make the effort to get to her concerts. When I...

ycswid Thanks for the input. I hadn't heard of brushing with oil prior to freezing. Any idea why that is needed? I certainly love the idea that you can freeze it and use as needed without thawing.

ycswid Sorry to disappoint but it appears to be part of the NASCAR mandate to get racing in other countries. Busch has been to Mexico and will be coming to Canada this year.

ycswid I'd love to partake in your competition. I've been using Sparkpeople.com since mid October and have lost over 30 lbs with still 20 to go and I can use all the extra motivation that I can get. I'm not on a diet more of a life style change and as such as...

ycswid Although I started watching racing with open wheel races I now find that I enjoy NASCAR so much more. More passing, more bumping and with that comes more wrecks. What's nice is that a wreck doesn't necessarily take a car out of the race like it does in open...

ycswid That is very interesting and I'll keep it in mind. I know that I've always enjoyed flat ginger ale when I have an upset stomach. The next time I'll look in the fridge for ginger root first. Thanks for taking the time to post.

ycswid Interesting perspective although I'm not sure I completely agree with your analogy. If the juror is saying guilty not based on the crime committed then I would say the Judge's charge was incomplete or incorrect as that is what the juror should be basing their...
