Recipes Using Corn Flakes
I hope this is a help to some people that don't know what to do with their corn flakes or cheerios cereal. I have used oatmeal as a filler for my meat-loaf, when I ran out of bread crumbs, and it tasted so moist, I couldn't believe it. So, from now on it will be oatmeal instead of bread crumbs.

How Birth Order Effect Your Love Life
A very interesting article that I found on my Yahoo Page.
I was the oldest of me and my brother. It says that I'm the take charge kind of person. Well, I guess that may be true in some sort of way, but not always.
