oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 16 Jul 12

Milk : our friend for life ?

topffer @topffer (42156) • France 13 Jul 12

There is a bit of irony in this title. I was reading on a vegan site today a page about "the dangers of milk" -- http://rawfooddietsecrets.com/blog/06/dangers-of-milk-52-reasons-to-avoid-dairy/ --. If I was a big milk drinker, I...

topffer I don't drink a lot of milk. I was allergic to milk when I was a child. I have learned to live without it, but I eat cheese, butter and other dairy foods, and I am lucky enough to not have to watch my weight, which has not really changed since I was 15. I have...

Farmer's Market

alaskanray I'm sure you are right. It's a sad state of affairs that we have in our economy. The produce I saw at the Farmers Market was, indeed, far superior to any I've seen in any store. I could not believe how beautiful the onions were and the bell peppers I bought...

Gone with the Wind

sophiaraine @sophiaraine (1113) • Philippines 13 Jul 12

My dad asked me to download this 1939 movie called Gone with the Wind. I'm familiar with the movie title. I've heard about it many times and I'm wondering why this seems to be so famous. Most people say it's the greatest romantic...

allyoftherain That doesn't sound accurate... the Harry Potter series has sold a grand total of 450 million copies. I doubt 50 Shades of Grey is anywhere close to scratching that record. I doubt it's outsold the Twilight saga. Where did you get this info? I haven't read the...

mentalward I remember it. I made sure I was home from school early enough so I never missed a second of the TV show. I, like millions of others, was mesmerized by it because it was so very different. Even back then (1966 - 1971), I knew the acting was pretty bad but that...

youless @youless (112113) • Guangzhou, China 21 May 12

Since iPad links with your credit card account, so sometimes I find it risky for the young children to play it. My colleague's family had such a terrible experience. They let their child play an English game and they didn't pay...
