Some smokers are very rude...

addicted2luv @addicted2luv (390) • Philippines 3 Feb 07

They blow their smoke right into your face when they see that you're not smoking. They have no regards to non-smokers to think that second hand smoking is much more dangerous than smoking itself. No offense to smokers, but i said...

Itallie I am surprised that smoking is not banned in more countries, especially in socialist countries like Italy where the health care is paid for by the government. Of course, being American, I think that the government has no right to tell you not to do things...

Have you seen that family with 16 children?

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 29 Jan 07

It is a new reality show I guess. I just caught a couple of episodes of it the other night. A couple has either 15 or 16 children (all theirs...with 2 sets of twins) and one on the way. They have spent the last several years...

Itallie That's a really good point. Children love the attention of their parents, and if they aren't getting enough of it they will sometimes act out just to get that attention they desire. They don't care that the new attention is negative, at least it's something....

Double Coupons

Itallie @Itallie (65) • Italy 30 Jan 07

Does anyone use double coupons or rebates to get common grocery items for free? I've heard of a woman who does this and she claims she hasn't paid for things like shampoo, toothpaste, soap, etc. in years. This sounds like a...

Itallie It's when you use two or more coupons together to get an item for very cheap or even free. I'm sure it's legal, you just have to know how to work the system...which I would like to find out about!!

Living Without a Microwave

charlazio @charlazio (215) • Italy 17 Jan 07

Do you think you could live without a microwave in your home? My wife and I recently moved to Italy and our furnished apartment didn't come with a microwave. At first I thought we would have to buy one to be able to survive (how...

New Lunch Ideas

Itallie @Itallie (65) • Italy 17 Jan 07

My husband and I pack our lunch everyday to save money, so I'm looking for unique lunch ideas that go beyond the boring old sandwich. We don't have access to a microwave where we work, so it has to be good eaten cold. Let me...

Itallie Thanks that's a great idea. Especially for summer lunch meals. I make similar meals like this all the time, I should have thought about it for our lunches!

Engaged after Dating for 2 Months

blogyourself @blogyourself (1577) • United States 15 Jan 07

I have a friend who has been dating a guy for two months. Then at Christmas he proposed to her. This took everyone by shock. Even more shocking is that she said yes. Do you think two months is enough time to get to know each...

Itallie I have to agree as well. It just makes me think of those Oprah episodes where one spouse finds out the person they thought they knew is a completely different person in reality. It's almost impossible to truly know someone, because if they are holding back...

Discipline: Would you report someone who spanks their children?

sabrinam @sabrinam (1203) • United States 13 Jan 07

There is a fear in the US of people disciplining their children, once upon a time, you couldn't go to the grocery store and act up because if you did, the store manager would tell a mother to remove their disruptive child...fast...

Itallie I completely agree. This is a free country, and we should be allowed to discipline our children. But, children also need to be protected from parents who cannot control their rage or aggression. It's a slippery slope when the government starts getting...

Did you realize that a negative statement cancels out a positive statement?

brokentia @brokentia (10389) • United States 13 Jan 07

You should not make a 'But' statement. Such as, 'I love you BUT you really annoy me sometimes!' or 'Thanks for taking that downstairs for me BUT you forgot to take this.' Well, you start with a positive statement. However, when...

Itallie I agree with your ideas, because despite how nice we say something, a criticism is a criticism! But I remember learning something in an education class a long time ago; if you tell a child 10 positive things and one negative thing, they will remember only...

Bus Driver Fired for Flipping Off Bush

sarahbeth1977 @sarahbeth1977 (384) • United States 13 Jan 07

Itallie I completely disagree. While I think that it is inappropriate to display that kind of attitude in front of children, there is no reason why the president should get respect that he hasn't earned. This person is an American citizen, and in that respect they...

Do you think Mormon is the most pure in christianity?

tambangmas @tambangmas (342) • Indonesia 12 Jan 07

Itallie Wow, don't you think that site seems a little biased? That's like me giving you a site called thereisnogod.com. Of course it will say that evolution is incorrect. Maybe you should research who is saying this before you buy into it.

NY City Trans Fat Ban

Itallie @Itallie (65) • Italy 12 Jan 07

How do you feel about the fact that NY City has banned trans fat in restaurants? I think this law is a violation of the constitution. Why can't people just be responsible for themselves instead of the government deciding what is...

Itallie That's exactly what I mean! If I want to eat something that might adversely effect my health than that should be my choice. Once the government starts deciding what we can and can't eat we are in big trouble!

Itallie I agree, because if a teacher can't give exams to their students then they won't know if they actually understood what they were being taught! It's important for this reason, but many schools are beginning to develop exams required before a person is allowed...
