Do You own a Bike? How about an E-Bike?

ShepherdSpy @ShepherdSpy (8544) • Omagh, Northern Ireland 2 Jun 08

In my teens, and even into my 20's on a placement in Germany,I nearly always made use of a bike.Since buying my first car,I'd seldom been on a bike,and looking at my expanding waistline(!) bought another about 5 years ago.it only...

Winter08 In rereading this posting, I'm amazed by how much time has passed. I'm "re-established" in the working world but the house and yard still have to be "set up". As for bike riding ... not happening anytime soon. Thank you for revisiting your older...

I have a silly complaint about Dancing with the Stars

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 15 Apr 09

I like to watch it. I record it and skip all the commercials and narratives and just watch the dancing. It's really entertaining and I enjoy seeing the progress of some of the novice dancers. But do they have to dress the women...

Winter08 I didn't see the actual happening but Lil Kim did have near miss with her top. Apparently there is a YouTube clip showing the mishap. It is so nice to see how the amateurs evolve and improve over the season.

Another question from my daughter: What is on top of your Christmas tree?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 7 Dec 08

Do you have a star on top? An angel? A special ornament? Something else? We put an angel on top. It is one that my son bought for me at his AWANA store (kid's club at church). How about your tree?

Winter08 No. I wish I did. Over the years, my mother downsized a lot (especially as she moved from farm to small house in town to seniors apartment) and I have no idea what she did with a lot of the things I remember from my childhood. Whenever she downsized, I never...

Is anyone else here as happy as I am that Keith Olbermann will be back tonight on Countdown? It's just not the same when he's not there; nobody else does the Worst Person in the World and that's my favorite segment. I know some...

Dirty Keyboard/Sticking Keys

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 11 Nov 08

Many a time someone has spilled something inside their keyboard. Many a time we eat at the computer dropping crumbs onto the keyboard. But how often do we clean our keyboard? If I spill something inside my keyboard I use...

Winter08 I did take a before picture of the keyboard before I cleaned it but I wasn't able to add it here. I did find out that the keyboard had never been cleaned under the keys so it did explain why there was so much debris under them.

El Cheapo Cosmetics!!!

skinnychick @skinnychick (6905) • United States 3 Apr 08

I'm kind of strapped for cash so I was wondering what your favorite cosmetics were for that you could find cheaply like at Walmart or another discount retailer. What has worked well for you and what should I stay away...

Winter08 Yes, more money would be real good. Have you considered becoming an Avon rep? You could get your cosmetics at a discount the, couldn't you?

PLEASE! Close your robe!

RedFeather @RedFeather (427) • United States 27 Jul 08

ok - so i guess i'll never learn i put a robe on in the mornings if it's chilly, not for modesty's sake, as my pjs are pretty modest anyway... so it never fails - i don't tie the tie, i go to the potty - and dunk the dang...

Winter08 Thank you for that link. The soil in my yard is very parched looking and looks to be lacking "fibre" and this may be a good way to help build up the soil. And this link will help me in my research as I work on making garden/yard plans for next spring. I'm not...

Virgin coconut oil experience

alena824 @alena824 (376) • Philippines 21 Oct 06

Virgin coconut oil is becoming an important alternative remedy. While there are more studies about its benefits and properties, many still remain skeptical about VCO and have this misimpression that it is not good for your...

Winter08 How am I doing? Tired and whining about it. And, after reading some of what has been going on with you (and others here), I am going to try to re-prioritize my whining (even though I have an unspoken addiction to my whining). And to paraphrase an old saying...

lightningd @lightningd (1039) • United States 15 Jul 08

First some background for you. 5 years ago I got divorced from my husband of 15 years. I have since remarried and so has he. I am now 40, he is 48. His new wife is 44. Since they married, she has physically moved out a few...

Winter08 In a way it's understandable that a 25 year old young woman would be enthralled with new born babies. But from my observations of my various nephews when they were in their mid teens, 16 year old boys have zero interest in babies, especially new borns. And...

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 14 Jul 08

I have a friend who is a stay at home mom of 3 kids. Her husband works out of town during the week, and when he's home, he's quite busy, so she gets little help. Her kids are all rather little, 8, 4, and 2. She doesn't really ever...

How persuasive are you.

ketybhagat @ketybhagat (4123) • India 7 Jul 08

To be really persuasive, you need the gift of the gab. It is very difficult to persuade a person to think on your line of thinking, so you must be very glib with the tongue. Attitude also counts in this. A lot of self confidence...

Winter08 1.) Yeah, that sucks when people do a "sign up" pitch without telling you that that is what they are doing. My other brother did that to me and I've learned to be leary of that type of thing. It's too bad there isn't a reputable rep around because that plan...
