BriMarie I've worn glasses since I was 9 and I got my first pair of contacts when I was 11. So, I've had experience with both. Like others on here, I have no choice but to wear some form of lens. I'm practically blind without any. I'm very near-sided and everything is...

which book did you absolutely hate?

sunsham68 @sunsham68 (1376) • India 8 Dec 08

There are books we come across that are boring/ not to our taste/ just plain stupid. Did you continue reading a book that you disliked in the beginning? Was it out of boredom or just to find out how it turned out in the end? Do...

BriMarie I really can't get through "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller. I'm about half way through and I don't really like it. It's my fiancee's book and he said he won't read it until I finish it. His mom is on me about it too, telling me I need to finish reading it.....

BriMarie It's so much fun! My brother and his wife just had a baby in the end of July. So, I have a wonderful 4 month old nephew. I love buying him stuff and holding him and making him giggle! Enjoy every minute you spend with her, they grow up fast.

BriMarie It all depends on the night and the temperature in the room and outside. During the summer I wear a tank top and usually just my underwear because we don't run the air during the night. During the winter, I tend to wear my pj pants and a t-shirt or maybe a...

vanonas @vanonas (949) • United States 9 Dec 08

BriMarie I have Netflix and I really love it. I got it back in February for a class, but I can't seem to get rid of it. Since I love close to a big city it only takes a couple days from the time I put a DVD in the mail to getting a new one. I also like it because it...

BriMarie I think it depends on the series and the books. We have the whole Harry Potter series in hardcover. I have the Stephanie Plum novels (Janet Evanovich) in paperback. I think it all depends on what your reading. I like having the Harry Potter ones in Hardcover...

The last book you completely finished

vanonas @vanonas (949) • United States 9 Dec 08

I think the last book I've read was from the Narnia series. I'm trying to borrow Twilight from my friend, but she keeps forgetting. Haha, what was the last book you finished reading?

BriMarie Ok, so the book that I just finished reading not to long ago (a few weeks ago) was "A Girl's Guide to Dating a Geek". It was a funny book that my fiancee bought me for fun. I really enjoyed it. Otherwise I'm currently working on the Stephanie Plum novels by...

In your opinion when the engagement ends in a breakup

Who is the ring rightful owner. The one who give or the one who received?

4 responses

BriMarie Legally I believe she has to give the ring back to the man. I was reading on Wiki that when they become married it then becomes the property of the woman, but before that it's his property. Now, as for other jewelry if it's given as a gift for a holiday...

It isn't easy being cheesy

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 25 Nov 08

What strange things do you like cheese on? I love cheese and put it on most things. Thomas Edison loved cheddar cheese on his apple pie. So what odd ways do you use cheese?

BriMarie I do like cheese on slices of apple. In fact, my parents have a pie server that has a cheese slicer on it! I also like cheese in my chili, which doesn't sound weird but I like to eat my chili with peanut butter sandwiches so I dip my sandwich in the chili and...
