The Basics of Mortgages 2008-01-21 04:51:00 Many people are confused with the word mortgage. I know I am and the first time I came across this word is while playing Monopoly ™ .

Curious as a Cat- Week 101 2008-01-21 00:04:00 1) If you could teach one person a lesson in humility, who would you choose?Myself. I wouldn't say that I am a proud person but I have too high expectations on myself and others. It makes me difficult and also depress when I can't meet up to the expectations that I have set. Sometimes, I rely on my own strength and abilities too much. Then when I had an acute flare up of eczema, I was devastated. I couldn't go out of the house and depression sets in. I was overwhelmed by my own condition. I think in this situation, if I could be more humble and modest with myself, it would greatly helped that I can accept my situation and carry on. It took sometime for me to figure it out and I wouldn't say that I have completely adjusted to my condition too.2) Do you prefer silver or gold jewelry?Interesting that this question is asked. I like silver better. Not sure why but I don't look so good with gold jewelry. Besides jewelry, even my spectacle frames, I would try to get silver or coloured on ...

Crock Pots and Slow Cookers 2008-01-19 02:09:00 Hamilton Beach 33163TC 6-Quart Slow CookerAh, after doing the other post about food and yummies, I think it is only logical to write about some cooking utensils, don't you agree? Although I have said many times that I can't cook but I can manage some stew or soup in a slow cooker. I guess there is nothing to it that I am able to chop up some carrots, celery, onions and put in a few pieces of chicken into a crock pot. I didn't even consider doing that as I am able to cooked!Cuisinart CSC-400 Slow CookerNevertheless, one pot cooking is a very convenient cum nutritious way of preparing a meal when we are short of time or needing an extra soup to compliment our meal. The juices from the meat and vegetables are all locked in the stew or soup that we are cooking. We can even cook a full meal of rice or noodles with all the nutrition goodies locked in. I know that a friend of mine had actually cooked lasagna in her slow cooker.If you are looking for some nice crock pots and slow cookers, f ...

SaladOn a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how honest do you think you are?I would say 9. There is no reason for me to lie if I am being upright true to my own conscience.

Weight loss herbal supplement 2008-01-18 12:50:00 Have you heard of Hoodia Gordonii before? This is a special cactus with a large flower, spiny needles and a brown color. The flowers smell like rotten meat and are pollinated mainly by flies. What is special about this plant is that it contains a substance that suppresses appetite. Voila, another weight loss product on the market! So instead of taking pharmaceutical diet pills, you can now have an alternative to the United State’s most popular weight loss medication-Phentermine.Hoodia Gordonii works in the way that it produces a chemical that tells the brains that it is full.

It is a natural herbal supplement that can help you control your weight. As with any health supplements, it is wise to consult your doctor first before purchasing.

My Personal Preferences 2008-01-18 11:52:00 1. Quiet evening at home or Out on the town? I like a quiet evening at home. After I had a skin problem, I feel easily stressed out whenever I go out or meet people. It used to be worse, I can't go out at all. Like having a phobia but now that I am mentally stronger, I am at least able to go shopping and hang out with friends if I choose to. Nevertheless I still prefer a quiet evening at home. 2. Watching a movie or Reading a good book? I like reading a good book. Although I am not one of those people who can imagine vividly places, faces, or even smells when they read something, I am not like that. I like words because they make sense to me. Watching a movie is less satisfying. 3. Ordering a meal or cooking one yourself? I wish I can say cooking a meal myself. I can't cook. So the next best thing would indeed be ordering one. 4. Going for a walk or taking a ride in the car? Depends on the place and environment. In the city, I would take a ride in the car as pollution is bad ...

Cash Advance and Payday Loans 2008-01-18 10:16:00 Sometimes it is hard when we are caught in between our paycheck and the sudden emergency or crisis that forced us to get additional loan. Is there anywhere that we can get fast approval for the minimum of hassle and requirements? Most folks are a little hesitant, not to mention embarrassing about getting a loan from some of these walk in stores at the corner of the street. It may even be scary and not so safe to do so. Hence another method to ensure more privacy would be to apply for cash advance and payday loan through an online application. Generally an online application is very fast and easy to complete. Your online application is then reviewed and approval will be notified through email. Once you qualify and meet up with the criteria as specific by the prospective cash advance lender, you will have the amount wired to your savings account the next day. Then the amount of repayment plus interest will be automatically deducted from your checking at your next pay day.The ser ...

Three Word Wednesday - Cleaning Maniac 2008-01-17 11:06:00 AwkwardKitchenObsessedYou know what they say about mother in-laws? It is all true. Petty and jealous, efficient and capable, scheming and controlling and much more all rolled into one! Carol's mother in-law is visiting one week after Christmas. She is just married for about 6 months and her mother in-law (MIL) chose to visit the week that she knew Carol would be recuperating from the festive mood and her house is in shambles. Would she be able to live up to the standard of utter neatness and the sparkling glass surfaces of tables that her mother in-law's house always seem to be? Sometimes when no one is looking, Carol would secretly swipe her fingers at the corners of her mother in law's shelves and tables just to satisfy her curiosity about whether her MIL would cut corners and not clean every inch. She was miserable. Her MIL's house is impeccable. It is as if her MIL is obsessed with cleanliness or something.So there Carol is toiling and cleaning, washing and mopping in her kit ...
