Is it a wedding dress if it isn't white?

ShaNichole @ShaNichole (66) • United States 8 Jan 11

I was just watching "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera" and there was a bride that had a purple wedding dress. Now granted, that would not have been my personal choice, because I thought that it looked a little tacky (but that may...

camposkat I think today, brides-to-be are more open-minded and adventurous in choosing their wedding gowns so I don't think it is a problem for brides-to-be what color they want for their dresses. But for me I still go with the white gown. I prefer to be traditional.

People who smile at you

kimikohime @kimikohime (119) • United States 23 Jan 11

Don't you just love to see people smile, and how contagious it is? No matter how you're having a bad day, but when you get to see someone smile at you, everything changes. The mood changes. Do you have any stories similar to...

camposkat Definitely agree with you on this. You know what I think if everyone would be nice and friendly and all smiles at people, I bet the world would be a better place to live in. It does make you feel lighter, it lifts up your spirit when someone you don't know...

Do you think paying in all change is weird?

Michelle @infatuatedbby (94912) • United States 21 Jan 11

What are your views if you see someone go in the store or wherever and pull out only coins to pay? I was at Albertsons and a homeless man, he paid $5 worth in pennies, I mean it's money.. he didn't want to use the machine...

camposkat I don't find it weird or embarassing at all. Sometimes cashiers prefer either an exact amount or loose change because they may not have enough coins to give their customers a change or they have to request it from their managers to give them change which can...

camposkat You're like my fiance, he loves to eat crackers every supper or at least when he feels peckish with food. He puts butter, cheese and ham or any cooked meat to top it off. I think lately I have found something that I didn't think would be good to eat until I've...

Sebastian Onciu @polaris77 (2039) • Bacau, Romania 17 Jan 11

camposkat Sometimes yes I can't help it but then again from what you did in the past you try to correct it and not "dwell" on it - the "what if" or "I wish I did this or that". You always learn from your mistakes so as not to commit them again. I believe whatever...

camposkat I forgot another helpful tip. After 24 hours of the injury, you can put hot compress on your knee instead of cold compress to help the blood flow circulate in the injured area. These are just what I basically know as first aid, hope it helps. Take care!

camposkat For the first 24 hours you need R.I.C.E. - Rest, Ice, Compression (by bandaging your knee), and Elevation (of your leg). This can help suppress the swelling. I also believe you should see a doctor soon to just have your knee checked for any fractures or if...
