Ali Canary Drinking in a hardware store is a super weird concept to me as an American, too. I'm glad rat poison is being pulled - it's a terrible threat to wildlife and a really awful way to die. Glue traps need to be banned, too - they are terribly cruel!

1976 Songs: I Never Cry

Four Walls @FourWalls (83812) • United States 10 Mar

Not to make you feel old or anything…. Seriously, if you’re old, you don’t need any songs to remind you that you are old. But we’re in the musical time machine, traveling back half a century to look at what was...

Ali Canary I remember this was a very big hit, and a huge departure for Alice, since it was a ballad. It really showed he had layers. He's really quite a cool guy, extremely intelligent.

Comic Books

Amber @AmbiePam (114684) • United States 13h

Does anyone read comic books? I never read them as a child either, although when I was younger I would read the comics in the newspaper. The closest I ever got to a comic book was a Picture Bible. Did any of you ever have a...

Ali Canary I used to read them all the time, but they have gotten so expensive, I don't think it's worth it any more. I read my first Wonder Woman comic book at the age of six, and that started a lifelong love of Wonder Woman. Couldn't have picked better role models than...

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (95216) • Daytona Beach, Florida 8 Mar

That is a picture of a similar possum I found online, but the one that came on my porch was about as big. I was heading for the bathroom and looked through the window of my front door. This sad little possum was sitting there...

What was your name going to be?

Amber @AmbiePam (114684) • United States 9 Mar

Did your parents have a couple names they oscillated between when they were trying to pick a name for you? My name is Amber, but they (my parents) were also thinking about naming me Elizabeth, which is my maternal grandmother’s...

Ali Canary I was almost named Sylvia, after my grandfather, Sylvanus. Fortunately, I got Alice, after my dad's mom, and my middle name is Evelyne, after my mom's mom. I'm actually quite surprised I got the ancestor names, since I'm actually the youngest of four kids....

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (3122) • Eldoret, Kenya 9 Mar

As I walked towards the cyber, I made a brief stop at the spot where I wish to build a resort. I was impressed by the developments. The young trees are healthy, the hedge is steady. All I need now is to be patience and to take...

Ali Canary I haven't heard of it before. Is it some kind of tutoring site? I lost my job in October and haven't been able to find anything, yet. I am on Wyzant for tutoring, but there haven't been any new jobs.

Ali Canary I wish you well in paring things down. My older sister is moving abroad and having to give up most of her things, and I am trying to cut down on a lot of my own stuff. It's just boggling how many things we end up with later in life.

I understand it was one of the longest in history, and a "field day" for fact-checkers, but I was at work and unable to watch. I don't have to work today until the early afternoon, so I suppose I'll do a bit of "research" later...
