shooting_star I don't think it's rude; it's actually nice of you to think of sending Christmas cards through email. Although it would also be nice to actually receive Christmas cards through the regular mail, at least you still remembered the people you're emailing and let...

Winner of ANTM friend to Tyra before the show!!!!

mrsjbelle @mrsjbelle (1640) • United States 16 Dec 07

I just read this and I am upset. How is this fair to the other girls? She was in a Wendys commercial as well as was on the runway on the Tyra show & in a fahion show that season 6 contestants participated in. The rules were bent...

shooting_star I also read about this, and I think it's pretty unfair that some rules were bent for her. There were a lot of more gorgeous and talented girls on the show and it's just sad that they had to be eliminated because they had less experience.

Will you return a WRONG change?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 11 Dec 07

I was at the post office that day to collect a "tax letter". Before I went there, I had no idea what that was. I genuinely thought it was a letter from the tax office and I was livid that I had to pay for a letter from the tax...

shooting_star Oh, I also get a lot of "just to be nice" gifts. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't. So for the stuff I don't really like, I usually ask someone else if they want the gifts, or I'll pass it on. I guess people (me included sometimes) just feel like they...

shooting_star Thanks a lot for the tips on the books. :) I've been reading some of them already; my sister's been borrowing them from the library. :) At least when I'm reading, I can imagine the characters faces as they are in the TV series.

Is anyone mad about this Top Model cycle and the people who are left to win?

Cute22 @Cute22 (24) • United States 8 Dec 07

I'm not happy at all with the way things have gone done on America's Next Top Model and out of all the people who tried out for this show these are the three girls who are left to win the title. Good luck to the girl who wins this...

John @mac1946 (1602) • Calgary, Alberta 12 Dec 07

shooting_star Companies pay for their commercials' air time so the stations need to air those commercials as often as those companies require. So we viewers have no choice but to tolerate them or find something else to do. I personally do the latter -- wash dishes, go to...

internet relationships.

chrislotz @chrislotz (8136) • Canada 12 Dec 07

I just read a discussion that was very disturbing to me. This person has a friend online that she set up to meet her girlfriend, in person. He wants to sleep with her and he doesn't care that she has a family. He just wants to...

shooting_star I agree, people shouldn't trust everyone they meet online. Or at least don't trust them at once. While some people can be perfectly honest and harmless, there are also a lot of perverts that prey on unsuspecting girls. It's good that the man who tried to rape...

What word games do you like to play?

shooting_star @shooting_star (384) • Philippines 15 Oct 07

I've been fond of playing word games ever since I was a teenager. My favorite word games are Scrabble and Boggle. Scrabble helps me build my vocabulary and after years of playing this game, I've developed some kind of strategy...

Weaknesses that can become your strengths

shooting_star @shooting_star (384) • Philippines 10 Nov 07

It sounds like a contradiction, doesn't it? But we all know that nobody's perfect; we all have our weaknesses. The question is, do you have weaknesses that you turn into strengths? I, for example, tend to cry easily. It's one...

shooting_star I'm sorry to hear that you were almost raped, but I am also glad that because you were able to cry, he took pity on you and let you go. I don't think all rapists would have taken pity on a crying woman; some of them are just really heartless. Good thing you...
