preema723 I don't necessarily know if being happier makes you live longer, but I think it just makes your life so much more worthwhile. It is nice to wake up with a smile on your face and share it with others. I am naturally a type A personality, so it takes alot for me...

preema723 I love cleaning! Bathrooms included! I love organizing and cleaning. It doesn't bother me one bit. I would prefer to do it myself because I know where everything goes and how I like it cleaned.

preema723 I definitely turn off lights - and my husband makes fun of me because I don't turn them on until we absolutely have to. My mother always used to tell me to turn off lights and I would think she was a nut, but she would say, just wait until you pay the...

preema723 I always want to help if I can, but I try not to say Yes to things I really can't do. I have found that sometimes you have to say no because otherwise you really spread yourself too thin and can't accomplish all the things you said yes to. My sister is someone...

preema723 It is what is inside that really counts! Everyone has their own idea of what is attractive and beautiful.

preema723 I like responding to discussions in the morning and late at night. In the morning, it is a nice way to get my brain working and to start the day. At night, it is a great way to wind down from the day.

preema723 The internet has become an important part of my life. Personally, it is my way of keeping touch with people. I work odd hours, so while I would rather call someone on the phone, I don't think they would like to hear from me in the wee hours of the morning. So...

preema723 I think that it is a wonderful idea. They offer yoga in my daughter's preschool, believe it or not! I think it would give kids a little time to relax and re-focus, and give them a break from their academic studies.

cherryjoyce @cherryjoyce (8) • Philippines 27 Aug 09

Hypertension is not a joke. It is a serious problem. We need to maintain our body physically fit and healthy all the time. We need to encourage ourselves into sports or exercises that will make our body strong. we also need to eat...

preema723 You are so right. Hypertension is a silent killer in my opinion. So many people don't even know they have it until their doctor finds it. I know it runs in my family, so I try to be careful about what I eat and getting exercise. My father has had quad bypass...

preema723 I used to ride a bike all the time as a kid. My sister and I would ride our bikes around our block a million times and never get tired or bored. I have not been on a bike since I was about 12 years old - let's just say I gave it a try and it was not a pretty...

Are you successful with Craigslist?

MelissasCrate @MelissasCrate (72) • United States 26 Aug 09

I have absolutely no luck with Craigslist, buy, sell, trade, etc. I joke about with people I know, but it's utterly depressing. I swear I could not pay people on Craigslist to take my stuff away. In these times I cannot afford to...

preema723 I have never tried selling anything on Craigslist, but I have made a few purchases and I have had good luck with them. Sometimes I will answer an ad and get no response, but I bought a great elliptical machine for under $100 bucks and it works great! I go by...

preema723 No, I honestly wouldn't. It is a shame to say, but I fear for my safety and that of my children. I do feel badly when I pass someone by who clearly needs a ride, but I am just not comfortable picking up a stranger.

preema723 I think everyone forgets a promise now and then. Life gets so crazy and time seems to pass so quickly that it is bound to happen. I honestly try not to make too many promises, because I feel badly when I can't keep them for various reasons or forget.
