lxdollarsxl Having a long life or a short one is not the point, its what you put into your time and what you get back from it. Its no good worrying if we will be around for a long time, you have to do what is best for you - Who knows what is around the next corner? For me...

Do you like the smell of rain?

natnickeep @natnickeep (2336) • United States 22 Nov 10

Do you like the smell of rain or right after it has rained? I personally don't love it but it does bring up some sort of subconscious memories. Kind of makes me smile for a moment. I guess this is why we like a lot of smells. Do...

lxdollarsxl Just love it, it does bring back memories - also love the smell it seems to make everything around fresh and clean again, especially in the cities. Gone is the smell of traffic, pity it doesnt stay this way too long. Sitting outside on the porch during a...

TSA is profiling Airline passengers.

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 22 Nov 10

We hear that the TSA can not do a psychological profiling of a terrorist but they can force people with implants, prosthesis, or joint replacements. My wife has a knee replacement, my daughter had a metal plate in her leg to...

lxdollarsxl i totally agree with you, unfortunately these agencies are a law unto themselves - until the average traveller makes sure his/her voice is heard by his/her government the situation will get more involved and more invasive.

saizo6 @saizo6 (2199) • United States 21 Nov 10

lxdollarsxl I wouldnt go as far as to say classical is better than pop music, i think it depends upon ones moods. If i want to sit and think but relax at the same time classical goes on, if i feel more energetic and maybe want to sing another genre is chosen. They all...

lxdollarsxl if life was fair and everthing was perfect do you think you would be happy? I would think the opposite, you would be bored wanting not everything to be perfect just so there could be a little excitement, something to get the adrenalin flowing.
