Dude Diary..

My 10 year old saw this book at a book store awhile back, and really wanted it. Hubby and I thought it was sort of pointless at the time, so did not buy it. For Easter each of the kids got $20 from Aunt Doris, and the 10 year old...

polaroidsredwine Ah yes, these are fairly common - I remember seeing these sorts of things stuck in at school book fairs when I was younger. There are girl versions, too! They can be pretty fun and some of them are even like activity books to share among friends. They're...

Any strange habits?

TheDemonicAngel @TheDemonicAngel (699) • United States 19 Feb 13

I am sure almost everyone has a strange habit or two. I for one have one very strange habit that may be a little disgusting to some people, but researching on the net; apparently a lot of people do it so it may not be so...

polaroidsredwine My weirdest habit has to be my scalp picking ...I can sit for hours and rake through my hair, fingernails against my scalp, and if I find anything that feels irregular I carve away - usually it's just picking at dandruff but I've picked to the point where I've...

My blond moment

dorannmwin @dorannmwin (36392) • United States 17 Jan 13

First of all, I have to say that I don't mean any kind of offense to any tow headed person on mylot and my little boy is a tow head too. I don't think that blond people are dingy, but I do tend to think of the cliche. So on...

polaroidsredwine Oh no! That's so silly. I can't actually recall the last time I've had a moment that made me come off so dense. My sister, however - up until age 16, she was convinced brown cows made chocolate milk. Even nearly a decade later, after she came home throwing...

Cashier line should always be observed and followed.

ardoy0731 @ardoy0731 (7308) • Philippines 16 Jan 13

I went to mall nearby the office this afternoon to hear mass which I used to do during Wednesday. After the mass, I went to the mall supermarket to buy something. This supermaket used to barricade just like in the bank before the...

polaroidsredwine You did the right thing! Those are the sort of people who act as if they're entitled to get what they want all the time and they annoy me endlessly (especially as I've done my share of cashiering and having to tailor to those sorts' needs). Also, good on her...

This song always made me cry

chiwasaki @chiwasaki (4695) • Philippines 30 Dec 12

Whenever I hear the song Wherever you will go by The Calling, it always makes me cry. This song is the last song I played in my guitar and I sang in front of my father. A week before he died, he asked me to sing and play a song...

polaroidsredwine Oh wow, that song is really nostalgic - and certainly a loaded one. I love it, and I completely understand how it brings you to tears, especially since you've attached it to your late father. Well, I have a few songs that bring me to tears, but the most...

I remember you in a song

mayrylflores @mayrylflores (173) • Philippines 1 Jan 13

Do you ever had this feeling of joy or loneliness every time you here your favorite song? When I have nothing to do I just listen to music and suddenly those music change my emotion.I play a specific song to lessen the sadness...

polaroidsredwine Music speaks to the soul - or, mostly, the brain, and by speak I mean alters it a little. But I love listening to music to help me improve my mood or, if nothing else, to find something that I can deeply relate to in the situation I'm going through at any...

Is Taking Away Guns The Answer?

Fatcat44 @Fatcat44 (1141) • United States 20 Dec 12

Well many people are advocating getting rid of guns in the USA. Here's a good point that I have heard. Did prohibition work? Has banning of drugs work? Well, that is about how gun control would work. Why don't we look...

polaroidsredwine The solution isn't to completely take away guns - that would just lead to situations akin to prohibition and making drugs illegal. Limiting access to certain firearms would be better - it wouldn't stop all of the gun violence that occurs, certainly, but the...

polaroidsredwine Sometimes it's a good idea to call back to places where you submit applications to! This can be very helpful and show how interested you are in a job somewhere.

Another Obama Lie about Planned Parenthood Doing Mammograms

Fatcat44 @Fatcat44 (1141) • United States 18 Oct 12

Obama during the debate said that Planned Parenthood provides a lot of mammograms for women. Really? Kathleen Sebelius, who in Obama's cabinet says that Planned Parenthood is not licensed to do mammograms. So either planned...

Stop Abortion.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mariemay_dominguez @mariemay_dominguez (121) • Philippines 13 Oct 12

polaroidsredwine You are free to believe what you want as per your belief system, but for others such as myself without a religion, abortion isn't something to be considered a sin. Bodily autonomy of the pregnant person overrides that of a potential person.

polaroidsredwine You know what gets me? When 'a lot' is spelled 'alot.' There's a certain comic out there that plays with this for humor ... It bothers me a lot, too, but I never really point it out because it's just not worth it, unless it's in a professional paper or...

polaroidsredwine It probably is a marketing strategy ... that, and when one company releases a new phone, another will soon follow after, so it's kind of a smart move to save some cool stuff for the next model. I tend to use my phones until they suffer a permanent death. I...
