How long have you been married or been with your significant other?

shywolf @shywolf (4514) • United States 12 Feb 07

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I thought that I would post another positive, happy story. This one is about Britain's longest married couple. They say that their secret is to take a little time for romance each day, and I...

StuckInLodi It will be 22 years in April. 22 very long years that have flown by. Yup, that's how it works. I would never get married again. I would have no motivation since I've had my kids and don't need anyone else's money. I am completely secure in myself and could...

Miriel @Miriel (1041) • Norway 11 Feb 07

What is the best site to use for blogs? I have only tried out Blogger , how is it compared to WordPress , which one are the best. And is there any other good blogging sites out there?

StuckInLodi I use both and they have different attributes. It depends on your goals. WordPress does allow you to create a post and have it publish later, so you don't have to be at your computer to hit "Publish" like you do with Blogger. They have a lot of...

Does it bother you that God is called 'HE'?

astromama @astromama (1221) • United States 8 Feb 07

I hope this isn't opening up a big ugly can of worms, but i have to be honest here... one of the things that has turned me off about certain religions is that they pray to a gender-specific God. I myself am into equal rights,...

StuckInLodi I no longer refer to God as "he." In fact, it is Godd which connotes gender nonspecificity. I pray to the Divine or the Divine Creator. I do not pray to a male deity because the Divine is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, and both men and...

Chain letter in the internet age...

vivasuzi @vivasuzi (4127) • United States 3 Feb 07

Growing up, I got a few chain letters... you know "send this to 10 people or something horrible will happen". I didn't believe it, but it was still fun to do it and fun to pretend that it was important to do. Now, in the...

StuckInLodi Under no circumstances do I participate in those "send this to XX people or ______________" deals. I hit delete and I don't care whose chain is broken. They are ridiculous and a waste of my time. I also do not "forward this to XX people, including the one...

Are you confident in working with computers?

hottie0728 @hottie0728 (1732) • United States 4 Feb 07

Do you know how to troubleshoot when it starts to work bad? Do you know what to do when you loose connection? Do you have enough knowledge about it? I am a computer savvy. I remember when I started to date my boyfriend, we...

Was anyone surprised that Marcel did not make "Top Chef"?

jbrowsin66 @jbrowsin66 (1321) • United States 3 Feb 07

To me, it looked like he had it in the bag! I think he probably deserved it, yet he also seemed to be a pain in the ..... to the others.

StuckInLodi I was very surprised because listening to the (heavily edited) judges' discussion, I really thought Marcel was going to win. I think this was an example of the producers of the show dictating the result. Marcel was so unpopular with viewers that had he won,...

Is it "right" to take pictures at a funeral????

Stephanie5 @Stephanie5 (2946) • United States 4 Feb 07

Growing up, I always heard my mom's side of the family complaining about people taking pictures at a funeral. My dad's side is the opposite. So, I'm confused. And I'm wondering how many of you out there take pictures at...

StuckInLodi I have never heard the term "mourning photos" until now, but I have seen photos from the 19th and early 20th centuries. In fact, there are a couple of old photos in my mother's old albums. Not of the dead person, but people standing by the coffin, as I...

How to get him to talk?

jewel76 @jewel76 (2305) • Canada 4 Feb 07

Hey MyLoters. Just a quick question;how do I get my husband to open up to me about his fantasies? We've been together almost 5 yrs, and the few times I've asked him, he says he doesn't have any, which of course, is impossible....

StuckInLodi As a general proposition, men don't talk about things. They do them. So it is better to just start acting out a few things and see what he does. If you suddenly come out in a costume, for instance, or start doing something unusual like coming on to him very...

Removal of Cross from William and Mary College Chapel.. Your Opinion?

whiteheather39 @whiteheather39 (24403) • United States 4 Feb 07

I think that as everyone knows William and Mary's college is a catholic college shoul they have to remove the cross. If is offends some people then they should go elsewhere. What is your opinion? Removal Stirs Va. College...

StuckInLodi Since the college wants to be open and welcoming to persons of all faiths, I could understand not displaying a cross in the commons, in classrooms, etc. I don't understand removing a cross from a chapel on the campus of a Catholic college. That's just...

Prince at the Super Bowl What did you think

StuckInLodi Well, that half-time show was just pitiful. First of all, we hardly heard the band. Those poor musicians were out there in the rain, dancing their little butts off . . .why couldn't we hear what they were playing? Next, why didn't he sing some upbeat...

My Friend Wants To Commit Suicide. Shall I Act?

Geoas @ashjoe76 (1422) • India 4 Feb 07

I thought it was just for fun, but my friend talks all the time about committing suicide, the different methods that can be used for it, and so on. She even writes a lot of poems about death. I am not sure whether she means it,...

Do you miss Six Feet Under on HBO?

ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 1 Feb 07
