Facebook recipes reflect personalities
Lately, it seems like several of my friends have posted recipes on facebook, and they look wonderful. It is interesting that the recipes my friends post actually reflect the personalities of the person. I can guess certain friends will always post desserts and some will always post entrees or salads. ...

The scientific name for this flower's genus is ranunculus. There are several hundred different species of ranunculus spread across the world.

Individual flowers of the buttercup are small, but this spring blooming plant can colonize an untilled field or pasture and present a breath-taking sight...
Breezes, winds, dust devils, cyclones, hurricanes, twisters

Remember when you asked your uncle why he double knotted his shoelaces? "To keep the tigers away," he said, matter-of-factly...

Poll
Do you agree with the Boy Scouts decision to allow boys who are openly gay to join the organization?
 Yes, it was the right decision all the way around.
 No, it's great they allow gay children, but they should allow gay adults to have leadership roles as well.
 No, I am against homosexuality and it should not be promoted in a children's organization.
 No, there should be no policy; sexual orientation has nothing to do with scouting, and it shouldn't be an issue.
