What Is One Of Your Favorite Comfort Foods When You Are.....

patweber Chicken soup works for my husband. What works for both of us is pasta of some sort. I think it has to do with the carbs. Our favorite comfort combo is chili with rice topped with cheese. Oh it is so good. Now, I'm hungry for it!

youless @youless (112100) • Guangzhou, China 16 Jan 09

Suppose there is an unknown call to you, will you pick up your phone? If it's in my city, perhaps I will pick it up. However, if it is from other cities, then usually I won't pick up my phone. As most of my relatives and friends...

Nicholas Cage. How did he get so popular when he only has one facial expression?

mentalward @mentalward (14691) • United States 29 Dec 08

patweber Because acting isn't only about facial expressions. How do they choose actors and actresses for cartoon type movies? Their voice. Cage uses his voice, he has his body language and he usually has some of the best movies. Except for that silly one where he dies...
