Everybody Can Appreciate A Simple Prank Gift by Ella Nyman What do most people think of when they are trying to come up with a good gift idea? Usually they go around looking at stuff that they themselves might enjoy because they don't really have a clue what the recipient will enjoy. Another thing people consider is things that the recipient will have practical use for. But is this always the right choice?

So...Do Words Really Matter? Written and Submitted By Chelsea Ehrke - Someday I’ll Learn - I was making pasta tonight – which is supposed to be the simple old fallback, right? – when I saw that the recipe called for a “clove of garlic.” Stumped, I paused and pondered for about a minute.

REMEMBER making an apron in Home Economics? REMEMBER your Grandma's aprons? How many kids today have any idea of  the fascinating History of the Apron? Aprons were used to protect the dress underneath.  It was easier to wash aprons than dresses and they used less material. The apron served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the stove and oven. It was wonderful for drying tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.
