Have you ever made a snow angel, or what other fun snow things have you done?

shywolf @shywolf (4514) • United States 20 Feb 07

I was just reading about how thousands of people (more than 8,900!) were recently gathered together to try to beat the world record for the biggest number of snow angels created at one time. The sweetest part of the story, I...

Driving through a HEAVY RAIN STORM, do you pull over or keep driving??

texasclassygal @texasclassygal (5305) • United States 21 Dec 06

Don't you hate when you get in the car to go to work or to the grocery store and a downpour comes along, so bad that you are unable to see in front of you, do you pull over and wait for it to pass or do you keep driving??

enchantedemerald No, I don't lie about my age. I'm 41 and I see no reason to lie about my age. I actually don't know anyone that lies about their age. I have had several people tell me I look younger than my age.

DO YOU LEAVE THE PRICE TAG ON GIFTS?

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45939) • United States 7 Nov 06

My former sister-in-law would leave the price tag on all the gifts she would give. Anyone with even a simple mind could tell that the necklace she gave didn't cost as much as the price tag that was on the box. It was funny...

enchantedemerald No, all price tags come off of gifts. I believe it is bad judgement and bad manners to leave a price tag on a gift. A gift comes from someone's heart and it should be viewed as such. I think that people leave price tags on gifts to try to impress the person...

Its NOT for YOU????`

kalpan_vasa @kalpan_vasa (324) • India 7 Feb 07

I have seen people usually do the things first which they have been told not to do. Its human nature. Its very general. What do you say ? If you don't agree with me, why are you here? Haven't you read the subject???

5 responses

enchantedemerald Human nature, curiosity, and the thrill of doing something that they have been told not to do is why people act this way. I agree with you. Some people though have got to learn things the hard way, for themselves, they won't listen to others advice.

Do I visit Florida or Michigan this summer? Niece's graduation or my Dad's grave

brokentia @brokentia (10389) • United States 2 Feb 07

OK, here is the problem. My Dad passed away Feb 1999. I have struggled for closure but it eludes me. Maybe it is because I haven't even seen his headstone. Or maybe because I feel that I need to talk to him at his resting place....

Clumping litter versus clay litter

cheetah311 @cheetah311 (343) • United States 2 Feb 07
