Cadbury Creme Eggs: Love Them or Hate Them?

I am one of those people who looks forward to Easter simply to eat a Cadbury Creme Egg. When I was little, I even had a special way of enjoying the smooth cream-filled chocolate egg. I would cut it in half and eat one half one night, and the next half the following night. I also liked it when they were cold, fresh out of the fridge. These rich treats aren’t for everyone and I want to know: how do you feel about them? Source: Flickr User Svadilfari Cadbury Creme Eggs: Love Them or Hate Them? Love them Hate them Undecided

Would You Carry Pepper Spray When Exercising Outside?

With Spring weather in full swing, I am loving being able to get out to go trail running. There’s a pond near my house that’s wooded all around it, and it’s been a great place to run with my dog - until now. In the news, I just found out this week that a woman who was running there at four in the afternoon got assaulted. I was shocked, seeing as this is a family- and outdoor-enthusiast-friendly place. I usually run alone there and have always felt safe because I go when it’s light out. But now, I’m not so sure after hearing this awful story. Someone recommended that I carry pepper spray and keep up with my solo runs.

Deep-Throat Spearmint Spray: Love It or Leave It?

My how Amazon has expanded business through the years! It used to be you could buy just books, but now you can order duvet covers and memory cards and those things that squeeze every last bit of juice out of lemons and the Deep-Throat Spearmint Spray for just over $8. It may not be back-ordered like the Oral Sex Mints that more than half of you loved in January, but it’s not terribly different. Here’s the manufacturer’s description: Comfortably Numb is a flavored desensitizing spray specially formulated to reduce the discomfort associated with oral sex. The refreshing mist contains a mild numbing agent that coats the back of the throat, helping to suppress gag reflex and prevent discomfort during oral sex.

Have You Attended a Passover Seder?

Despite my lifelong affinity for Jewish culture and food , I’m sad to say that I have never attended a Passover Seder . After all, even the Obamas attended one this year! Assuming that one day I’ll be the recipient of an invite, I look forward to eating from the ke’ara , or Passover Seder plate. I already know what most of the items symbolize! How about you?

Do You Know How Much He Spent on the Ring?

For the newly engaged girl, the ring can become quite a showpiece. While you’re showing off the nuptial jewelry, I’m sure your man is equally pleased with his purchase, but do you know how much it set him back? One of my newly engaged friends has become the focal point of most of our get-togethers lately, largely due to the sheer size of the rock on her finger. It’s stunning, and you can hardly shield your eyes from the sparkle, but in the meantime, her fiance has been eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in an effort to get his budget back on track. Obviously, this isn’t the case for everyone - maybe your ring is a family heirloom without a pricey store tag. But whether your ring cost a fortune or maybe was a special bargain buy, do you have any idea how much it cost him? Do You Know How Much He Spent on the Ring? No, I have no idea.
