spiralbutterfly Actually, I never shut down my cell phone. I do put it on silent at night because I get a lot of text messages from my Twitter friends at all hours of the day, and I don't want the phone to wake my husband. However, I don't sleep with it close to me at night....

Brian @wolfie34 (26770) • United Kingdom 20 Sep 08

spiralbutterfly I really liked Hostel. I haven't had an opportunity to watch Hostel 2, but I definitely will. And if there is indeed going to be a Hostel 3, I will watch it too. I am a horror movie buff, and Hostel was one of the best I've ever seen. But if you don't like...

spiralbutterfly I don't think it should be by age, but by mental capacity. My grandmother is 82 and she drives just fine. However, there are people younger than her that shouldn't be driving because they have lost some of their mental faculties.

scorpiobabes @scorpiobabes (7225) • United States 18 Jun 08

I just calculated it and I need about 39 cents each day, or about $4.21 to make payout. I don't think it'll be too much of a problem, although my daughter's finished school now and will want to use my internet connection....

spiralbutterfly I have never made payout here. I don't spend a lot of time here, though. I log-in maybe once or twice a week and see what my friends have posted, and if I feel like I have anything to add, then I do. I am not here for the money, though, so I am not too worried...

scorpiobabes @scorpiobabes (7225) • United States 17 Jun 08

spiralbutterfly I tried riding a motorcycle when I was about 14 years old. I somehow got the throttle and the brake confused and rode a wheelie into a hedge. Not very fun. I have never driven one since, but I have been a passenger on one. I don't really care for motorcycles...

I would love to write a cookbook

Lovely Gifts with JewelScent @lovespecialangel (3632) • United States 10 Feb 08

spiralbutterfly If you don't mind my asking, what is your interest in writing a cookbook if you have no recipes? I am just wondering what it is that makes you want to write a cookbook. No offense is intended.
