    Asking for presents....?

    Would you rather have your SO (or anyone, really) ask you to tell them what you want for Christmas, or think of gifts on their own? To me, giving gifts is about something from the heart, not about the actual gift. I have no problem thinking of things or keeping mental notes when my boyfriend...

    Vegan food triumphs

    If none of you mind, and because I don't have a lot of support on my decision to be a Vegan, and because I know many of you are Vegans or Vegetarians, AND because every time I find something Vegan that I can eat, I get so darn excited, I think I will post some of my favorite food findings here...

    Skinny "B"....anyone read this book?

    Well you know I can't post the actual name because it's a naughty word. But has anyone read this book? I don't know what others think of it, but it has conformed me into being a vegetarian. I read the vegetarian thread before posting this, so I do know most everyone's opinions on moderation...

    Erasing browser history...

    Is there a way to erase specific browser history, without deleting all of it? I know how to erase all the history, but if you went to a site or two and wanted to delete just them, is there a way to do that? There was something in my browser history, and now it's gone, but the other stuff from...

    A frightful story...do you, or someone you know, sleepwalk?

    Last Saturday I went to a batchelorette party. I left at 6 pm, and was toying with the idea of spending the night at the girl's house, depending on how much I had to drink, so I wouldn't have to drive home. We rented a party bus, so that part of the driving wasn't a problem. Anyway, the party...
