Did you do something in the past that you have regretted?

NATHALIE27 @NATHALIE27 (61) • Philippines 21 Mar 09

hi there. Sometimes what we do in the past reflects our future it's true and what is done is done and we cannot do anything to change it. Last December our highschool batch had a reunion I didn't attend because i was ashamed of...

Veggies: Do You Like Them Fresh, Canned or Frozen?

Deborah L. Alten @gtargirl (5376) • United States 20 Mar 09

roi452 Definitely fresh vegetables are the best in nutrients and in taste. But of course if you need them stored for a bit longer, canned is always a good alternative. For me i like them fresh, good thing the market is just walking distance from my pad so i get to...
