First of all Binge, your preachy tone gives the impression that you assume I am clueless about the needy or homeless.  For the past 5-6 years I have been in the front lines working with these homeless and needy in my community.  We participate actively with the pantry in our community.  Thankfully, we have a wonderful director ...

 I did not misunderstand a thing.  I do believe it is quite foolish to encourage something I believe to be uneducated choices.  Would I give a suicidal person a loaded gun?  No!  Why encourage poor choices that can result in the same ending?  If they are "living off" of this stuff, it is not because of ...

 Another vote for the non traditional "breakfast" foods.  You hear all the time about people having "breakfast" for supper.  Eat "supper" for breakfast!  I'm much happier with a nice meal for b'fast and a bowl of cereal for supper.

 Tomboy turned girly girl here.  I use lots of makeup.  I'm on stage a lot and you have to have good makeup under those strong lights or you look sick.  My biggest expense is foundation but when you consider that I don't have to purchase sunscreen for my face, it is pretty much a wash $$ wise.  Foundation works ...

[quote user="bonzaibb12"]  washing or steaming with hot water on a daily basis will actually cause the skin to produce more oil.
