I am 54 years old (gawd...i can't believe it still!!) I live alone with my pekingese,Popeye & don't mind being alone because I'm an only child.I am aVirgo~~earth maiden~~ & of course work in the health field..specifically socialwork. I have 1 grown daughter & 2 great gr'kids who visit when they have time in their hectic lives. I love to travel,although I've only done so in the last 5 years. I like to play all kinds of card games (LOVE poker) & yess...i DO drink (wine) & smoke cigs(horrible habit,i know!) but in spite of all my bad habits....I am very healthy. DON'T like chinese food except for crab rangoon! Love lobster,king crab legs & a great steak! I like to cook but don't do much of it unless my small lil family visits. I love my country & even though my nic is flowerchild,I had many friends who fought in the Vietnam war & wrote to them, loved & supported them during that horrible experience. I would love to have friends to chat with because I DO get bored in the evenings!

  • ~~seasoning packet expiration date~~?

    I have 2 packets of seasoning for hot wings (a dry mix of spices,etc.) I don't see an expiration date anywhere on them...can they get bugs...being sealed? I opened one up to check it out & saw black specks but they were teeny & I'm thinkin' they're just spices...what do YOU think?...safe to use?

  • I'm thinking about getting my first cellphone & need everyone's input,please.?

    okay...my home phone is about $50.00 per month...I hardly ever use a phone but now want to convert to a cellphone only. The thing is..I know NOTHING about them....I did check out verizon..online & found that their basic pkg. is 39.99 plus the price of the phone,right? Do you have to commit to a contract on all cell phones? What about trac phones...your opinion? I wouldn't really care about text messaging,pics,music,etc. I need a cheap dependable phone...help!

  • Going much lighter hair color at home?

    I have had blonde hair for years...well..several months ago I had the bright idea of going back to my natural color..which I would say is medium brown. About 2 months ago,I used an ash blonde to lighten my hair & it got DARKER!!! I called the help line & she said that there are no products out there that will give me a nice blonde shade without frying my hair. That I would have to initially get it done professionally then I could maintain it at home. Right now, my hair is a light brown,a very bland color & I don't like it at all. I cannot afford to go to the salon at this time-(just starting a new job Wed. after being unemployed for months)...Do you have any advice on lightening my hair at home with no bad effects...or should I just wait until I can go to a salon? And how much does it cost...I'm sure I will need to have it bleached? Thanks to all who answer :)...oh, i should tell you that I used L'oreal Blondissemes years ago...would that work for me now?

  • searching for a thick type of beef gravy recipe?

    Years ago we had a restaurant here that served sandwiches called beef boats. They were on a baked french type bread. The beef was lean & thinly sliced. Okay...easy so far...huh?! Okay now for the kicker...the beef "gravy" that was on them was rich DARK brown & transluscent...kinda like a real thick beef consumme..it was not just regular beef gravy. Anyone have any idea how I might recreate this type of sauce or gravy? Thanks to all who answer~~

  • A question about Urine Gone~~?

    Are there any pet owners out there who have used this product? If so...does it work ? (for the odor & to keep the pet from going in the same area again) It's kinda expensive so I thought I would ask others before I actually try it.

  • ~~technical question about my stereo~~?

    i have a 5 disc RCA stereo...i know not great but it's a decent little unit. The problem is it was working fine one day & then the next time ( i don't know how long it was) i went to play a cd....no sound whatsoever. It looks like it's playing the tracks but nothing on the radio,tapes,etc. I thought maybe it was the speakers,so i tried a different set...still nothing. I may have had some power outages & someone suggested that they may have blown my transistors (whatever those are). The stereo is only 3 years old & i want to know if it would be worth taking it to a shop to have someone look at it & fix it. The unit cost about $150.00 & i know that's not much but right now i can't afford to buy a new one. Any advice from anyone??
