You’ve substituted diet soda in your attempts to lose weight.   So why isn’t it  working?  Isn’t 1 calorie  better than regular soda with full sugar content?

I’m a little baffled about this one.  Every week I try to watch it.  This one has a  little fantasy in it and  alot of morals to the story.  On paper it sounds fantastic.

I love to fish!  I learned to bait my own hooks (really!), remove fish,  clean them and last year I learned to filet.

It’s bass season, and there is nothing that compares to fresh bass cooked to perfection!  The secret to cooking fish is not to overcook.  I sautee mine in butter for just a minute or two and it melts in your mouth!

“Can you give me a step-by-step guide to changing a washer? My bathroom sink is running as if I have the sink turned on, even though it’s not. It’s driving me crazy, and I don’t know any men who can repair it. I know if I call someone out to fix it, it will cost me and arm and a leg.”
