stupid............. I went to my son's for the 4th. I went swimming. I was outside maybe 1 hour. My feet are sunburned(never happened before) So are my arms and forehead. I didn't notice my feet until late last night. I don't stay out in the sun for long. I also have some sort of fever blister...

So, in October, I told mom that I didn't want to have a houseful this year. Last year I had an extra 6 people stay here for a week. My SIL expected to be waited on hand and foot. Having 8 kids in the house, 3 newly adopted from an orphanage with parents who just wanted a break from them wasn't...

I just got a crockpot last weekend. I'd like to cook a whole chicken in it. I don't want any seasonings at all, just plain. Can someone tell me how to do this? Do I need to add water? High or low? And how long? Thank you!

Ok I am going to vent here. When I was growing up my mother really empahsized watching what you say. Thanks so much Mom ! However it seems that lately people have been saying to me and asking me such rude things. It is unbelievable ? What ever happened to the basics like: "Think about what you...

So I was going to make salmon with rice for dinner but the fillet looked funky so I tossed it (arg!). The rice is already going (just plain 1/2 white 1/2 brown rice) and I thought maybe I could use some kidney beans from my cupboard. So...what can I do with these other than just toss them...

I have a bunch of Roma tomatoes from my garden. I would like to make tomato sauce, but not a seasoned one, just plain for recipes. How would I go about doing this?

You would think someone could outgrow a guilty...

This really isn't about candle making, but candle embellishing.... I buy many candles on clearance and most at yard sales and decorate them..... Here's few things I have done....... I would just like to note that a pillar candle only burns down the middle, although it can leak wax down the...

If you grab a bag of potato chips at the store, are they plain or with ridges?

I watched "Armageddon" again last night and I am convience that Steve Bucemi is one of the strangest looking men on the planet. I think he is very funny, but just odd looking. It looks like he has 2 rows of teeth (like a shark). Other celebrities that I think are creepy.. Christopher Walken...
