    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    I too, miss the wonderful public transportation available in Germany. A stop was about 5 minutes from my family's apartment, and we could be downtown in less time than it would take us to drive and park. It was so easy to get just about anywhere. The small town in rural upstate New York...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I have read that mineral oil is actually pretty safe for sensative skin. Supposedly it is pretty non-reactive. Recently, someone posted a question about mineral oil, and if it may be bad for you. I read several of the articles that were posted. Some argued against mineral oil, and some...

    New Hybrid Car? or keep the old?

    I also would recommend you keep your existing car. If you had a long commute in stop and go traffic, I might recommend differently. However, the cost of the new car doesn't seem to offer enough benefit. I would be a happy camper if I had a 1998 with so few miles that ran that well. I...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I have oily skin, and no, this doesn't make it worse. I only use the Pond's at night, rub it in, let it sit for a minute, and then take a warm wash cloth and gently massage off the cream. I then use a non-alcohol toner to remove the residue, and follow with a night cream. In the morning I...

    All things Sewing Machines!

    My mom got me a very basic White machine for Christmas. It isn't computerized, it actually reminds me a lot of my moms Singer from the 70's. I really like the machine. It is simple enough that I don't feel overwelmed, but the variety of stitches it can do is nice. I have already used a...

    I need some advice...

    I took student loans out for everything :eek: I lived in the dorms for the first 2 years of college, and then moved into an apartment for the last 2. The apartment charged the same thing the dorms did so that the financial aid calculations and allocations would cover the rent. I got a refund...

    What is your expertise?

    I'm not well versed in anything. I was obsessed with King Arthur legends for about 10 years and have read about 50 books about him, but I don't think I am an expert. I am a community planner by profession, but my experience is limited. I am passionate about good community design, but...

    Skin Care tips/remedies

    You aren't alone. I was great with the Pond's for a couple months. I fell off the wagon. I still don't use my stripping products, and I moisturize every morning with a quality moisturizer, and that has made a huge difference. I am sure it would be better if I kept up with the Pond's and the...

    Mascara on upper lashes only?

    I have never had a problem with smudging, either. However, I don't wear mascara on my bottom lashes anymore. A few years ago, several lashes fell out of my bottom right lash line, and never grew back. If I wear mascara, it just highlights the big gap I have. I have a similar issue with...

    Wearing a light colored dress for a night out.

    It is spring! I think you can wear light colors in the evening. Of course, I am a home body, and I haven't been "out" in years! lol If you think it is too light, you could wear brown shoes and carry a brown hand bag. Do you have a darker colored scarf that would go well, to ground the...

    Are You Brave Enough to Share Your Prom Photos?

    I was lucky, my senior class raised enough money that my cap and gown were paid for, it cost me nothing to attend Graduation. Does it usually cost a lot?

    Goldleaf's Great News...and some buying advice!

    Shelly, that is a really cool tradition! So, do you wait that long to fill out the birth certificate? I wonder how pushy the baby-recording people (who does that anyway? ) would be about having a name quickly? Not like it is their buisness, but you know how beaucracy can be.

    Goldleaf's Great News...and some buying advice!

    We don't want to know the sex, so we have to come up with names for both :) We have had a boy's name picked out since we were dating, probably 5 years ago. It was funny, we were chatting over coffee, and hubby told me he thought of a great name, and I responded with "Me too! But you go...

    Goldleaf's Great News...and some buying advice!

    So, I wonder ... Ladies in the 40's and 50's were only told to gain about 15 pounds or so. They must not have gotten very big. These days, the doctors suggest gaining between 25 and 35 pounds. I wonder how large vintage maternity clothes are designed to get. One thing that will be nice, I...
