Favorite Rufus song?

cersei @cersei (62) • United States 28 Jan 07

I know it's a tough question to answer, but what's your favorite Rufus song? I kind of waffle between favorite songs myself, but right now I really like Memphis Skyline and Ups & Downs.

amicably_somber I usually go between In My Arms and Hallelujah. If I ever get married I want to dance to In My Arms. He does really great covers. I love the way he adds something new to them.

How's your school?

ToMuSH @ToMuSH (202) • Israel 10 Feb 07

Would you say your school, is it good / bad? Are the teachers good / bad?? And most important, I think, how's the kids??? My school is great, the teachers great and the kids great also!

amicably_somber My high school was great. I lucked out on teachers, and the curriculum was diverse and interesting. It was a large-ish school, which was nice as well. The only problem I had with it was that they were willing to cut the academic clubs (which won or at least...

thisgirliknow @thisgirliknow (80) • United States 8 Feb 07

Why are so many parents worried that placing a face with their son or daughter's name is SO SCARY. Seriously, if someone wants that, their school yearbooks are accessible. These parents need to talk to their children about not...

amicably_somber That is so cool. My brothers and I have MySpace accounts and the other day my mom was saying (joking/confused) that she guessed she needed to get one to keep track of her kids. We're all adults.

flat screen tv or regular tv

4 responses

amicably_somber I've watched flat screens (and HD for that matter) at the store, and I've never really noticed a difference. Or if I did, it wasn't a difference that made a TV worth $1000+ to me. But that could just be because I'm a poor college student.

amicably_somber My brother (in his late teens or maybe even twenty at the time) put a Paul Revere pot in the microwave. Yeah. It didn't end well. Ever since we've had this rule: Nothing shiny in the microwave unless Mom approves.

When and how did you learn to knit?

cutepenguin @cutepenguin (6430) • Canada 9 Feb 07

My aunt taught me when I was little, and I forgot and was retaught as a teenager. I made a ton of slippers and half of a blanket, and forgot again. It's sort of like riding a bicycle though, because I managed to teach myself...

I just transferred to another school, and I want everyone to think that I'm French. I'm a liar, but that's fun, and that lie, I think, is pretty innocent since I have a good French accent. My aunt Gina said that when she went off...

Ear cleaning products?

amicably_somber @amicably_somber (28) • United States 8 Feb 07

I'm just wondering what products and/or how any of you clean your basset's ears? So far my doggy hasn't had any infections (knock on wood) but obviously those long ears make them prone to them.

taco fillings

Grammasherri @sherrir101 (3670) • Malinta, Ohio 1 Feb 07

What is really supposed to on a taco? What do you like on your tacos? I like meat or beans (or both), lettuce, onions, cheese, sour cream and sauce. Sometimes, just meat and cheese.

amicably_somber I have a two-year-old nephew who is just awesome. He's adorable (even if he is a little slobbery and even if he does try to rip up my books if I leave them unattended for TWO FREAKING SECONDS and even if he hits my puppy when he's having a temper tantrum)....

amicably_somber I live in Minnesota so there's usually a lake within a fifteen minute walk of any house. My dad and I just stand on the shores; I've never fished in a boat before. It might be cool to fish on the Mississippi River, but I would probably get a disease from the...

amicably_somber No, Coke doesn't have cocaine in it anymore. That's pretty illegal--I at least rest assured the FDA would've found out and stopped it if they still did. Hehe.

amicably_somber Pizza is so much better with a Coke or any other carbonated beverage. They go together. A lazy night in front of the TV with pizza and Coke, or a night out with friends and Coke. Great fun.

Tiny hippie colleges

rawiscorri @rawiscorri (30) • United States 8 Feb 07

The definition of this is New College of Florida. I love the culture, but the academics are very unorthodox, and it's only really for a special tiny population of students who can function very independently. I left and now I go...

amicably_somber No, I don't go to a "hippie college" but my professor was just telling the class about the one she went to. They had no grades, just end-of-the-term evaluations the professors wrote about them, and almost everyone in my class thought it was a great idea. I...
