hassles with hyphenated first name

jody451r @jody451r (36) • United States 14 Mar 11

jody451r I've been trying to earn money on line for several years now. While I've made some, I've certainly not reached a 'living' level so far. The PTR sites seem to be the most reliable. Auto surfing sites seem to exist only to take your money - I've lost...

Do you wear sunscreen everytime you go outside? What about on cloudy days? Do you wear a hat when you're outside? If i'm going out for a walk or to mow the lawn etc I'll wear sunscreen all over, even though I have olive skin. I'm...

jody451r I try to wear sunscreen whenever I'm going to be in the sun for more than a few minutes. My skin is extremely fair and my genetic predisposition makes me a prime candidate for skin cancer. I've had it removed from my face twice so far. Unfortunately, the last...

jody451r My favorite vacation spot as a child and still as an adult is our family cottage in the north woods of Wisconsin. I love it there. The scenery is beautiful and the air is clean. I've taken many of my friends there as an adult. I've also taken my nephews there....

Do you do your dishes in any specific order??

Stephanie5 @Stephanie5 (2946) • United States 3 Feb 07

jody451r I was taught to do dishes in the same order as you. I believe it was due to having to heat water for doing dishes originally. Now that hot running water is readily available it's not as much of an issue. Glasses and silverware were done before greasy items...

What do you think the church should do with priests who have molested?

ShadyGrove @ShadyGrove (996) • United States 27 Jan 07

jody451r I think the priests should face prosecution by the law. The Catholic church seems to have turned a blind eye to the problem for a long time; it is evident that the problem has existed and been ignored or covered up almost everywhere the church is. This...

Punishment for rape

prettypinkbug @prettypinkbug (437) • United States 27 Jan 07

jody451r I don't think the death penalty is appropriate for rape. I think castration would be much more appropriate and would make it much more difficult for the perpetrator to repeat the crime. You could ask your husband how he would feel if he was raped and see if...

mango_tart55 @mango_tart55 (26) • Philippines 18 Jan 07
