They unwrap them on Christmas Eve and everyone looks great in the pictures we take on Christmas morning. Now...if only I could make some similar arrangement for my hair and make up on Christmas morning, then I would look great in the pictures too!

You make (lots of) sugar cookies and have everyone coming bring one type of decoration...sprinkles, dots, gel frosting, glaze, sugars, etc. Great for when you have plenty of kids coming or mom/child play dates.<br><br>Create an amazing (holi) day!

You should already have that information from the e-mail form field. There are spambots that scour the internet for e-mail addresses published in plain text and then flood those addresses with spam. Just do a google search for "email scraping" to see what I mean. It's probably NOT a good idea to require people to publish their email address in the body of their message for your Walmart contest.

After pulling out years and years of hair from farther down the line the toilets now flush with a 'woosh.' And after Thanksgiving dinner it was 'tested' many times by several guys who can even clog industrial toilets at work. It might be something to consider doing.

Most people don't even realize it's got carrots in it until I tell them. I’ve been making this cake for 18 years and it’s always a hit and I’m always being asked for the recipe.
