    Independent Or Dependent

    Everyone has their preference in how independent or dependent they want their wife to be. Personally, I'm not married now. If I was, I think I would like my wife to be able to function independently, but yet be a team with me for decisions that affect the marriage and relationship. What are...

    Making A Cake

    I've decided to make a cake from scratch. I already have the recipe for a banana nut cake with sour cream icing. Does anyone have any tips to get it to be the same thickness all the way around when it comes out of the oven? When I've made cakes from a box, they've always been lopsided.

    Favorite Entertainer

    I think it will be fun to find out who everyone's favorite entertainer is. I have a few. Most are from the old movies like "Gone With the Wind" and "Miracle on 34th Street." I think out of all of them, Jimmy Stewart is my favorite.

    Being Their Own Person

    I've been thinking about child-rearing lately and it's caused me to have a lot of questions. I know kids want to fit in with the crowd and be popular, but I want my son to be his own person and make his own decisions, even if they go against the crowd. Does anyone has any suggestions as to how...

    A Frienly Insurance Tip

    I was so stupid. I used a hospital to get some tests and treatments done that I thought was in my insurance company's network. Even if they weren't, I thought the insurance would pay a big chunk of the cost. I was wrong. For just one visit that cost around $250.00, they paid a little over...

    Coke Company Denying Harmful Ingredients

    I read somewhere that the Coca-Cola company is saying that the ingredients in Coke are not harmful. That's ridiculous, I think. Do they really think people are going to believe that?

    Baked Potatoes

    I've always cooked baked potatoes the way my mom did. She always used the oven on the stove. I know they cook much faster in the microwave. Does it make any difference in the taste?

    County Fairs

    I know it's a while before they start, but I was thinking about the county fairs a couple of days ago. I'm looking forward to taking my son and letting him ride on the kiddie rides. I don't know how well he's going to hold up going through the buildings and exhibits, which I like to do...

    Healthy Diet

    It's important to me that I start my son out with good eating habits. I think everyone will agree that sugar should be avoided or limited, but what about additives in foods and things like that? How far do we need to go to give our kids a truly healthy diet?

    I've read a lot about doctors and prescription medicine online. I've also read about alternatives to both. It's caused me to wonder if alternatives to conventional doctors and medicines might be better. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Income Taxes Out The Roof?

    I read that combined state and federal income taxes could be 62% if the democrat policies go through. It's scary to think we would be living on a lot less than half our income with prices rising the way they are. That's a lot of our hard-earned money a government that caters to bankers and big...
