Small Town or Big Town?

justiman @justiman (428) • United States 14 Feb 07

Which do you prefer? I live in a small town just outside San Antonio called China Grove, if you've ever heard the Doobie Brothers song. I feel lucky like I have the best of both worlds. Where would you rather live?

Annoying Laughs

justiman @justiman (428) • United States 13 Feb 07

Today I was sitting at lunch and this girl of about 20 or 22 would not stop cackling obnoxiously loud!! It was so nerve racking I almost got up and left before I was finished eating. Sitting with 3 other people she would laugh...

spr1967 @spr1967 (208) 20 Feb 07

Call Waiting

Kaldonya @Kaldonya (277) • United States 7 Feb 07

So are you in favor of having call waiting on your phone or do you think it's very rude to be talking to someone and then putting them "on hold" because you "need" to answer another call? In my opinion, I feel that I would be...

blakky i think it is totally rude to put someone on hold and take another call. the only good reason for this is if you are waiting for a very very important call - and i mean seriously important. it is common courtesy to give your full attention to the person you...

Dating and Being Sick

stateroad @stateroad (730) • United States 2 Feb 07

We are all humans and we all want to be loved and be with someone. If you just found out you were diagnosed with a Terminal or Chronic Illness that should not stop you from dating or having a relationship. If you started dating...

blakky the easiest part of this to answer first is, if i were dating someone and found out they were ill i would keep seeing them. them being ill would not change my feelings about them and would only make me want to be there to offer them support. if i were ill i...

blakky i really don't mind how people do it. it seems a lot these days is done by email and particularly SMS but i don't have a problem with that because i know a lot of guys are quite shy and if this makes it easier for them to get started that's cool
