hdc4free I loved playing with this as a kid! What a great, creative toy that lets kids use their imagination. My mom and I used to make our own, you can make very easily at home with common ingredients like flour, salt, food coloring. It was so much fun. Sounds like...

Resy King @resy21curapika (2116) • Pasay, Philippines 4 Sep 12

Who among you agree on this phrase today? How do you define getting a happier workplace everyday? is it your friends making you happy at the office? Is it a special routine? How about your loved-ones working with you as well? How...

hdc4free I agree, it is bad for your health to be unhappy at work all day! Not everything is in your control but it is so important to keep a positive attitude while working and to try to relax and enjoy yourself as much as possible. Making friends at the office,...

hdc4free I think it is important to make sure you let the people you are working with know what you have done and how hard you have worked at it. It is not a bad thing to be proud of what you have worked hard to do and at work you need your coworkers and your boss to...

hdc4free Wow that was lucky! Nice deal, getting a free service! I always dye my hair at home to save money, it can get so expensive in the shop for them to do it for you. So, how does it look? Do you think you will keep dying it after it grows out?

hdc4free Local bookstores may be easier to get into when you are starting. I know quite a few that always have a section of just local authors, I would search around the area you live and see how many independent book stores you can find. Do you sell ebooks too?

hdc4free That would drive me nuts too! I buy pretty cheap ones and throw them out and get new ones now and then, at least once a year or more. It seems if I use them in the microwave they can wear out and I have heard that is not healthy.

hdc4free You can try mixing the treats in with your cats favorite food to get him used to them, that sometimes works. A 10 year old cat usually has made up their mind about how they want things though! With my cats I got them young and gave them a variety of food...

hdc4free Two weeks is a long time to be on a liquid diet unless it is a medical necessity. I would be very careful, a diet like that makes people gain a LOT more weight back after they after they are done, just like lilblondie was saying above. I have seen it happen...

Elizabeth White @Masihi (4413) • Canada 10 Jun 12

hdc4free I always use Godaddy to register domains, I have quite a few and find them pretty easy to deal with and inexpensive. What was wrong with your original domain? Facebook didn't like it? Is it blocked or something?
