We recently bought about 50 small Easter stuffed animals at Walmart for our little dogs (three shih-tzus and one 3/4 shih-tzu / 1/4 toy poodle) . The toys are made for little kids, but our little dogs won't mind. We do this every year after Easter when they are on sale (like 40¢ for some of...

We made a batch of these muffins on Sunday. They were so good and just as easy as a mix, but taste so much better. They're really moist and so yummy! I bet they're less than $1 to make and a batch and yields 12 regular size !muffins or 6 large muffins. INGREDIENTS: 1 cup self rising flour 1...

Within the past few weeks, Harvey and I lost our 15yo shih-tzu girls, Willow and Whitney. It felt crushing, especially with Willow. No matter how long you get to have great dogs, it's never long enough. I thought I'd ask our friend, Cheryl Powell, if she had any puppies or a rescue in need of a...

The Walking Dead, which is the best TV show ever, has its season premiere TONIGHT on AMC. Yay! http://youtu.be/j4GAs9TJVjM

Being able to stream Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon on your TV is a way to spend too many hours if you're not careful. There are some really good shows I'd recommend to friends if they've not already seen them and so fun not to have to wait for the next episode if you don't want to. We loved: *...

How's everyone doing with their goals? For the first time in years and years, I can wear a size 10 jean, and maybe an 8, but there aren't any of those in my house! I've been riding my recumbent bike, drinking lots of water, watching carbs , and eating a lot of veggies. I've not really felt...

I made these for H, me, and our friend, Priscilla, last weekend. They are so good, nearly no carb, and super easy. I made ours with lunch meat ham, minced dried onion, and american cheese with some Italian seasoning. This weekend, I plan to try them with turkey sausage (ground that I will brown...

These are so easy, but SOOOO good!!! I think you could add different flavorings like minced onions, garlic, cheese, cinnamon, etc. The texture of the biscuits is so light and you may not be able to eat just one! INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup of lemon-lime soda 2 cups of powdered biscuit mix 1/2 cup...

I have made meatloaf before, a couple of times. The flavor was good but it didn't hold together very well. I have a meatloaf pan (the kind that is made to drain), but could probably REALLY use some help from those of you who know how to make it well!!! Thanks for any help you could give me...

Over the past year, for whatever reason, it's finally clicked in my head as to what works best for my body, and I've been able to lose a lot of weight just really by eating my veggies first, and eating more of them. I love them anyhow, so that helps. I'm an insulin dependent diabetic, and have...

Fellow zombie book fans -- READ THIS BOOK! OMG, it is outstanding. It's part of a series, and I'm about 2/3 of the way through this first one and I'm loving every second Not only is it full of zombies, but it is centered around a US Presidential election, the power of social media, bias...

Are any of you using Windows 8? If so, can you share some tips??? The Netbook I bought at the end of last year feels SOOOOOOOOOOOO slow, so I "replaced" it with a new netbook / ultrabook... but this one has Windows 8.' I think I knew it had that, but I surely didn't realize how different it...

I know a lot of us here love this show, and wanted to start a thread. Not sure what we can expect this season, but I know I will not miss it... CBS, Wednesday, 6/26!!! Hope lots of us here are going to watch, as it's a lot of fun to talk about!!! Maybe I'm bad, but I hope there will be LOTS...

Not too long ago, I finished the unabridged audio version of "Joe Hill's" novel, NOS4A2. Horror fiction is something I've enjoyed for a long time, and I think this book is absolutely one of the best. This is an author I've enjoyed now for all of his three novels (Heart Shaped Box, Horns, and...

Your Favorite Places to GROCERY Shop? What are your favorite places to shop for groceries? Personally, there are three National / Regional chains that get my money. One I’ve shopped at most the last year is Harris Teeter. The reason is really just because they will let me order online, do a...

H and I do not have any 2-legged kids to feed, but our nephews and nieces range from 3yo - 21yo And, I won't even try to say that H and I do not also still "love us some" kid cuisine What do you all like to do for the kids in your families? And have you updated some of your own childhood...

This is one of my favorites, and you know that also means that it's easy! Ingredients: 1 box of spaghetti or linguine 8oz (or more, depending on the amount of veggies, etc., you prefer...) of bottled Italian dressing 1 envelope of dry Italian dressing Veggies, etc. (I use a couple peppers, a...

I know a lot of you here also have enjoyed the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. It's people here that turned me on to them, I could really eat them with a spoon! So much fun!!! Right now, I'm on the 4th "Max Holt / Full" book by Evanovich and a partner. They are also a lot of fun...

You all recently helped me pick out a set of stainless steel cookware, and so far, I love it. I'd been concerned about our extensive collection of Teflon cookware. We would love to own a large bird, but am not sure our lifestyle will give such a smart animal what it needs -- but learning that...

I saw this story yesterday and was totally repulsed! And, you know me... I wanted to share information with others. Also, for the record, my answer to the question "you wanna hear something really gross?" is almost always going to be YES! If it makes me gag and laugh at the same time, I'll...
