catherine_r Hi missbdoll, I think November seems too early for someone to decorate for Christmas. We usually start decorations in our home only after 1st December. Maybe shops are puting up their decorations way before to attract more buyers. So that people know well in...

catherine_r Water is what you cannot live without. Electricity we can do without for maybe a day or two. But not having water for drinking, for bathing, for cooking, that would make living almost impossible. There's a reason why major civilizations developed and still...

Do you believe that Obama's news coverage is obsessive, or is it just me?

tdavis @tdavis (117) • United States 19 Jan 09

I am tired of all the news being about Obama, every news channel is falling all over them selves to cover this, and the rest of the news is like a caption on the bottom of the screen. I understand this is history in the making,...

catherine_r tdavis, I too think that the news channels are getting a bit carried over with Obama's inauguration. It must be because they want to increase their viewership ratings. We already know what we wanted to know about Obama, the rest we will get to know as he...

catherine_r I do not shampoo my hair daily. I think it damages the hair and makes the hair gray at a more rapid rate. Shampoos contain very strong cleansing agents that damage hair overtime. The natural oils produced by the hair are also lost by continuous use of shampoo...

catherine_r riyasam, I have a good sense of humor. But I don't believe in humor at someone else's expense. I don't know why, but everyone seems to overate incidents that happened in school. We were really embarrassed, really shocked and really entertained when we were in...

hudson river airplane crash as a result of birds

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 16 Jan 09

You would never think a bird could disable a plan but when it gets into the engines it can destroy it. In yesterday's crash the flock of birds got into both engines and the plane had to come down. Apparently the plane can fly if...

catherine_r I very rarely travel by plane, unless I have to travel very far. I think after such an incident one would feel nervous to board a plane. I guess that I would probably travel by plane, maybe in a month when this will be in the past. After all life does go on.

catherine_r trindadvelasco, you cannot just stay away from such backstabbers. At certain workplaces, such activities are kind of appreciated by the employers who see backstabbing as a sort of way to 'divide and rule'. Employers don't want employees to get along in the...

Positive Attitude

kdhartford @kdhartford (1151) • United States 12 Jan 09

catherine_r Being positive is what one strives to be. It is fine as long as something does not go really wrong. But if suddenly something goes wrong, like if you get robbed or you lose a job. Then it's really hard to think positively.
