mzserena I hope, for the sake of society in general, that you're right. I know that it really drives me insane to read anything that is full of netspeak.

mzserena I have caught myself doing the LOL thing. I want to stab myself when I do. It's kind of sad, really. I see it a lot on this forum even. Which is part of the reason that I don't post much. I want to correct people when I do.

Does anybody watch Hell's Kitchen? I have watched it the past two seasons and it is an actually pretty good reality show. You actually see some really great food dishes and you get to laugh at what Chef Ramsey says. It's actually...

mzserena I do like Hell's Kitchen. This was the first season that I've watched. Currently, Fox Reality is running a season 1 marathon that I'm watching. I love Ramsey. He's such a jerk, but he makes damn good chefs out of ameteurs.

I know that millions of people all over the world regularly drink bottled water because they think it is safer than tap water. It turns out that this isn't true. In a news story I saw recently the focus was on the bottles, not the...

mzserena I believe that the cheaper brands, bottled by companies with lower quality control levels can be harmful. I think that the same goes with all packaged foods. The higher quality, the better th packaging. Life is harmful, no matter waht way you turn.

mzserena I like the first couple of books. Before Harry became a household name. Before there was so much hype and pushing for the books. Before the movies. Back when the books were pure and for the children. Now, she seems to be cating more wowards the adults.

Right now I am staring at my desk which is in desperate need of a cleaning. I have piles of papers so high I almost cannot see my computer screen. I clean it out every two weeks or so, but it just seems to pile up with all kinds...

mzserena My desk is a mess most of the times. It's organized clutter, more than anything. There are times when it gets really bad, then I clean everything off and go from there, but for the most part, I have an organized clutter.

mzserena I would start on the new work first, that way that won't end up being late as well and run the same risk of not being graded. IF there is time, then work on the old work. I would also talk to the teacher to confirm that what he says is true.

I'm just curious to see what the general consensus is here. If you are married or in a long-term relationship, do you consider it cheating if one of the partners gets emotionally intimate with another person? Is it still...

mzserena I don't see this as being cheating, it's natural to share yourself with people you are close to and can trust. If it were to turn physical, then there would be something to worry about. But denying someone a best friend, then you're denying an almost basic...

mzserena Cheating is cheating, no matter where it takes place. If you have an agreement that things online, stay online, then that is a completely different story. But if you feel that is cheating, then it is. In all situations, it depends on the parties involved,...

mzserena Since my husband and I care for my aging mother, either she or I cook. My husband is among the pb&j/tv dinner men. It's cool with me though, I enjoy cooking a lot.

I love to polish my nails when they have reached a length worthy of color. I would touch them up when the color on the tips would wear off or if the polish chipped away. They always looked neat. When a touch up was not enough,...

mzserena When I do polish my nails, I usually let it chip and wear off. It's not that I don't care, or that I'm lazy, it's that I normally don't have time to mess with it. If I'm just running to the store, meh, who cares. HOWEVER, if I'm going out, to dinner, to a...

mzserena Yeah, that works if you have the number, but wouldn't it suck to sit and wonder "Where's Jane? I haven't seen her in months.. I wonder if she's okay." And never have the means to find out. Or find out months after the fact that someone you considered a dear...

mzserena It's not something I'd really given much thought to either, really until the last few days. I got word that a friend of 10 years, yet never spoke to on the phone, nor met face to face, passed away. In this case, I was lucky that others that knew him were in...
