A song that takes you back...

cherry_pig @cherry_pig (118) • United States 19 Mar 08

You know that feeling you get when you hear a song out of the blue that you haven't heard in awhile and it takes you back to a time when things were different than they are now and a smile creeps across your face at the exact same...

Congratulations to all three Democrats

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 6 Feb 08

Congratulations Hillary, Obama & McCain! McCain is to be congratulated, he has played his cards well. He's the only candidate of either party that was able to hang back until the time he chose to "come out". He bided his time...

cherry_pig Okay, well that I will have to take your word for, since I wasn't around in 1964. lol My personal attachment to the confederate flag goes back to about 1979 with an orange dodge charger. :D

cherry_pig Ted, can you explain what you meant by the 1964 comment? Been trying to figure out what you meant, but I just can't make the connection.

Dress up or down for class

kmdoughert @kmdoughert (85) • United States 28 Nov 07

I'm one of those college studuents who never really cares what they look like when they go to class. I have early classes and usually just opt for the sweatpants or the outfit I threw together in 5 minutes. I notice, however, that...

cherry_pig I wear the same thing I wear shopping, or to the grocery store. Jeans and a shirt. I can't imagine going to class in either pajamas OR heels.

Are 12 Year Olds Mature Enough To Hunt?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 28 Nov 07

I just got done reading and responding to a discussion about a 12 year old boy who was tragically killed in a hunting accident; apparently his gun accidentally went off and shot him in the chest. My 12 year old grandson, Todd,...

Huckabee and the Illegal Alien Problem

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 28 Nov 07

Someone needs to ask Huckabee what his position on Illegal Aliens actually is... On his website he says.. The Governor opposes and will not tolerate sanctuaries for illegals. The federal government must crack down on rogue...

How do you handle compliments?

cherry_pig @cherry_pig (118) • United States 30 May 07

I try to remember to say thank you, but more often than not I find myself denying the giver or downplaying it. For instance if they say, "Oh you look beautiful today" My first reaction is, "Oh no, I don't." or "But my hair is a...

Online Clothes Shopping...

daycarepal @daycarepal (1998) • United States 24 Jun 07

Have you ever bought clothes online? If so, what was your experience. I've bought many things online, but never clothes. I'm one of those people that likes to try on my clothes before I buy them. I'm afraid if I ordered clothing...

cherry_pig Actual speaking, it would be my son because he is a talker. But for who I really spill my guts to the most? My best friend. He knows more about me than anyone ever has. He's always able to give me a different perspective, or set me straight. He's a wonderful...

cherry_pig I had a few pair. I don't remember the colors. I think one set was rainbow striped. Though seriously, if I could find some today I would buy them because my legs get so cold in the winter! That's one fad from the 80s that I won't mind the return of!

Drinking Soda

jillhill @jillhill (37354) • United States 23 Jun 07

How do you like to drink your soda? I love mine poured into a glass with lots of ice in it. I also like to sip it out of a straw. If I have to drink out of a can, my lips sometimes breaks out from contact with the can. I don't...

cherry_pig I prefer ice cold cans, or from a soda fountain with no ice. Oh actually my favorite way is to put it in the freezer and then take it out when it gets just a tiny bit slushy! YUM!

Do you think 31 or 32 is too old to become a teacher?

pooh1623 @pooh1623 (192) • United States 22 Jun 07

I am thinking of changing my career and might become a teacher, but I know that teachers usually start young so do you think that being 31 or 32 is too old to become a teacher, what are your thoughts?

7 responses

cherry_pig You are still very young! So many people think that you can't chose a career past your 20s. Not only will you most likely make a better student (more focused on your goal instead of parties and dating) but you will will probably make a more patient teacher. I...

2 Years Without TV! (Cable or Antenna).

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 22 Jun 07

2 years ago, my family and I had to make a financial choice. Keep the DSL or the Cable TV. We chose to keep DSL. I was the one who balked the most. I have been a devotee of TV trivia research since the early 70s. Yes, I was the...
