Have you ever had this happen to you?

TriciaW @TriciaW (2441) • United States 3 Jun 08

"Where is the checkbook?" "I don't know you had it last." "No I gave it to you." "No you didn't" "Yes I did." And so it goes on. The whole house is scrambling for a checkbook or other important items for that matter. The person...

jrsmith If mine is lost I lost it. My husband has no access to it. If he needs something I handle it. I do the bills which include the checkbook.=)

At which ring do you pick up the phone?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31636) • United States 2 Jun 08

I remember watching my an acquaintance sit by the phone and it rang. Once, twice, and the third ring she picked up. I asked her why she let it ring so long and she said you're never supposed to pick it up right away because it...

TriciaW @TriciaW (2441) • United States 3 Jun 08

jrsmith I feel that is totally wrong. She is the same size she was when she was selected for the team and they knew how she hit. It is not major league teams here we talking about. I would probably go talk to the coach and let him/her know how I felt about it. How old...

TriciaW @TriciaW (2441) • United States 3 Jun 08

Wow it was a loud one and the wind was so strong. It was around 2:45 am that I got up. We do not have tornado sirens here so I was more nervous then usual since the lights went out too. Power was out over an hour so no way of...

Why do dogs lick the air when you scratch them near the tail?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31636) • United States 1 Jun 08

I've noticed this with most dogs, except Boston Terriers. When you scratch them just in front of their tail, they lick the air and really enjoy your doing it. I just wonder why they have that reaction, it's kind of funny!...

jrsmith I think they are saying oh yeah that feels good. My baby girl is so silly when you scratch her near her tail. I know that she just can't reach it like I can.

criminals, should they be punished or should we try and reform them.

jer31558 @jer31558 (3683) • United States 2 Jun 08

I am especially interested in hearing from those in other countries. Not only as to how you feel, but how these things are in your country, are punishments too harsh or too lenient for those that commit crimes. I personally feel...

jrsmith Well to me if they are not punished and just attempted to reform them it is telling them that it is ok to commit a crime all that would happen is a slap on the wrist basically. I don't think the punishment is stiff enough for some crimes today especially in...

jrsmith I thought that they were suppose to obey speed limits posted unless you are responding to an emergency and then they were allowed 10 mph over but only if they had lights and sirens active.

aseretdd @aseretdd (13730) • Philippines 29 May 08

jrsmith With the drugs in the world today I feel that it is very wise to drug test students as well as teachers. Some middle school kids are already doing drugs.

Do you drink flavored water?

TriciaW @TriciaW (2441) • United States 27 May 08

My daughter loves it but I just can not get myself to drink it. I figure if I am drinking water plain works for me. I guess it is just a mind set thing for me. I am curious if others like flavored water.
