orchid23391 I would have to agree with the other person who said Great Expectations. Although the plot was twisted a bit and they used the rewritten ending instead of the original, I still think it's a great take on Dickens' novel. I'm a huge Charles Dickens fan and I was...

I don't know what the dali lama does. So can someone please explain his job to me?

orchid23391 The Dalia lama is probably one of my favorite people in the world. He is the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people, but in 1959 he was driven into exile by the Chinese government. Religiously speaking, the chief responsibility of the Dalia lama...

orchid23391 I absolutely love potatoes in almost any form. My favorite would have to be baked with cheese on top. No butter or sour cream, just a plain baked potato and a slice of American cheese.

Why do we fall for the "work at home schemes"?

marta131 @marta131 (7) • United States 20 Sep 08

Over the past several years I have looked to many online earnings opportunities with the anticipation and excitement of a toddler at Christmas. I am currently gainfully employed, and luckily have a roof over my head and food and...

orchid23391 I am sorry you've had so many bad experiences with work-at-home jobs. The brutal truth is that the world doesn't care one way or another if we succeed or get ripped off. These people gain from our loss, and that's how THEY make such a good living online. It...

orchid23391 Personally, I think rebel flags are the white trash symbol of America, but I'm not going into detail at this time. Bulldogs are awesome and I don't think any particular breed of dog should be categorized as unsafe. Any dog can be unsafe if it's trained to be...

orchid23391 My hair is wavy and thick as well. One suggestion I can give you, although you may not like it, is to keep your hair at about shoulder length or a bit longer. If I let my hair grow passed my shoulder blades it gets unmanageable. I like Sunsilk Hydra TLC...

moviestar818 @moviestar818 (21) • United States 15 Sep 08

I'm a huge fan of horror movies. I generally find the one star citically panned horror movies to be the best ones. For example, 1408. Critics praise that movie but when it, I kept going to sleep on it. But a movie like The Ruins,...
