Come, Let Me Feed Your Soul

23 Dec 2006 07:19 AM

I've always felt this way about food. Friends in need get food and then a shoulder to lean on. Loved ones get fat during the holidays. "Food is love" is something I've struggled with in past years simply because when I needed something for my soul, I've turned to food.

Feeding for the soul is a great way to share our talents and creativity with loved ones, but people like me need to be careful not to turn to the dark side of this coin. :-)

Kind of scary that people are letting grandmas travel with their kids when grandma can be so easily disoriented!!! Holy Moly!

Diary of an Overweight Mom: Sometimes You've Got To Bake a Cheesecake

Good news, low-carbers! Substituting Splenda is safe in cheesecake! I've spent the past year working on my cheesecake making skills and I'm happy to announce that every recipe I used worked equally well with sugar or Splenda. Go ahead, low-carbers, have some cheesecake!

What I Miss...Enjoy Childhood While You Can

How sad for your friend.

I came to motherhood late too. I was 37 when my son was born. Unlike your friend, I am enjoying every moment - even the tantrums can be funny. In my case, I feel that my age, experience and lifestyle have allowed me to be much more zen about the experience and really appreciate every moment of it. I understand how quickly it will all slip away and I want to remember every single moment without regret.

Isn't it sad when a singer can't carry his own act?

The Hunt for Red October (1990) Movie Review

19 Dec 2006 07:11 AM

I love this movie! (And not just because Sean Connery is dishy in the hair & beard!) It is a great movie to create an opening to talk to teens (who never lived through it) about the Cold War and what it meant to the world. Not only entertaining but very educational as well. Thanks for the review!

Taking Money

Great article.

I did some selling some time ago and had a regular customer who always paid with cash on delivery. She was a great customer for many months. One day I stopped by to make my delivery and she was out. Silly me, I left the product thinking that I could stop by later for the cash and she'd be good for it as she'd always been.

Well, she never answered her door again and always let her machine get her phone calls after that. Never underestimate the amount of energy a person will exert to get something for nothing even if it is at your cost.

Celebrity Tidbits: A Supportive Husband (!) and A Supportive Friend (?)

Hey, let's take a look at the source - Paris Hilton's parents took their young (pre-teen) daughters out to clubs and looked on with pride as their little girls danced on tables and drank at illegal ages. Paris Hilton has hardly had a good example from her own parents therefore her judgments are bound to be a bit skewed. Sadly, her parents' example will no doubt leave its own scars on the future children of Paris and Nikki. Too sad.

I concur! My son is just discovering the joys of crayons - I couldn't have found those magic erasers at a more opportune time! They get crayon off EVERYTHING!
