Most Exotic Fruit

Itallie @Itallie (65) • Italy 5 Feb 07

What's the most exotic fruit you've ever eaten? Of course, we all come from different countries, so what is exotic here might be totally normal where you live, but let's share what fruits we think are exotic. The most exotic...

Itallie We are actually going to Venice for the Carnevale celebration, and we can't wait. We will probably buy some masks for souvenirs, but that's it. I have seen a lot of children in Rome wearing costumes, and it's very cute, but no adults yet.

makeup for male

Itallie Men should not wear makeup. I don't think there's anything wrong with using good products to keep your skin healthy, but makeup is another thing completely. Don't wear it, it will make you look unattractive to women.

purplehaze @purplehaze (661) • Philippines 5 Feb 07

I had a friend once from my previous work who owed me money. She was a single mom and during the time that she borrowed money from me, she said that it's because her child has no more milk and since our payday were still a week...

Itallie Are you sure it's that she doesn't want to pay, or is that she truly can't pay? If she just doesn't want to pay then she's not a real friend and she's using you. If she can't pay, then you shouldn't worry about it. Your friend was in trouble and you helped...

Three must-read books for teenagers

2timothy @2timothy (794) • Philippines 4 Feb 07

What three books would you recommend every teenager should read before they reach their twenties?

Itallie All teenagers should read the trilogy His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. The three book are excellent, so much better than Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. They are making them into a movie right now, but I know it won't be as good as the books.

Itallie For breakfast my favorite is french toast, but that's only on the weekends when I have time in the morning to make it. Otherwise it's just cereal, fruit, yogurt, or toast. Simple, fast, and satisfying.

Some smokers are very rude...

addicted2luv @addicted2luv (390) • Philippines 3 Feb 07

They blow their smoke right into your face when they see that you're not smoking. They have no regards to non-smokers to think that second hand smoking is much more dangerous than smoking itself. No offense to smokers, but i said...

Itallie I am surprised that smoking is not banned in more countries, especially in socialist countries like Italy where the health care is paid for by the government. Of course, being American, I think that the government has no right to tell you not to do things...

Have you seen that family with 16 children?

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 29 Jan 07

It is a new reality show I guess. I just caught a couple of episodes of it the other night. A couple has either 15 or 16 children (all theirs...with 2 sets of twins) and one on the way. They have spent the last several years...

Itallie That's a really good point. Children love the attention of their parents, and if they aren't getting enough of it they will sometimes act out just to get that attention they desire. They don't care that the new attention is negative, at least it's something....

Double Coupons

Itallie @Itallie (65) • Italy 30 Jan 07

Does anyone use double coupons or rebates to get common grocery items for free? I've heard of a woman who does this and she claims she hasn't paid for things like shampoo, toothpaste, soap, etc. in years. This sounds like a...

Itallie It's when you use two or more coupons together to get an item for very cheap or even free. I'm sure it's legal, you just have to know how to work the system...which I would like to find out about!!

Do you dislike any of your "friends" on MyLot?

linzmcwilliams @linzmcwilliams (1552) 30 Jan 07

I'm doing a serous friend clear out. I've only ever asked three people to be my friend yet i had over 80. My question is do you ever dislike people who add you? Do you still reply to their discussions? Or do you delete them...

Itallie I don't see the point of accepting "friends" that I don't know. I'd rather have zero friends than a bunch of people I've never talked to on my list.

Itallie One book that made me bawl like a baby was called Marley and Me. It's a memoir about a man and his golden lab. The dog is the worst dog in the world, always getting into trouble, but as he grows old and begins to get sick it is soooooo sad, because it...

Itallie I think one of the funniest men right now is Jack Black. He can just make a silly face or dance crazy and I crack up. Some of his new movies don't really showcase how funny he really is, so you have to know his early stuff before he was really famous. But...

Itallie I think smiles are infectious. It's hard to be in a bad mood when everyone around you is smiling and having a great time. It just makes you realize you're pouting for no reason.

Do you vote during elections?

pusiket @pusiket (1756) • Philippines 30 Jan 07

I am of voter's age. I exercised my right to vote once. But considering the way politics is going on in our country today, I did not ever vote again. HOw about you? Any plans of voting again?

Itallie The problem with politics in our country is that people don't exercise their right to vote. If you don't like any of the candidates then write your own name on the ballot. But you have to show your government that you don't approve of the candidates or else...

Itallie Of those choices I definitely prefer beer. There's nothing more satisfying than an icy cold beer on a hot day. But, I also like a good glass of wine. It doesn't make you bloated like beer, and it tastes much better than hard alcohols.

Itallie Salt's not bad for you if you're young and your liver is in good working order. Your liver is what flushes the salt from your blood, and when you're young it works to full capacity so you can eat as much salt as you like. As you get older it doesn't work as...
