What time of day do you do your best writing

feralcat @feralcat (426) • Canada 21 Jan 07

I've been trying to set myself up with a daily time out to sit and work on the two books I am currently working on. Sometimes I will sit there and stare at a blank page for an hour or so at which point I give up for the day....

When invited to dinner, what do you bring with you?

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45941) • United States 21 Jan 07

Whenever I am invited to for dinner with family or friends, I will offer to bring something. If they tell me not to bring anything, I usually offer to bring dessert, I insist upon it. There have been times when we pick up a...

Can a women really be president?

bgreg2 @bgreg2 (45) • United States 20 Jan 07

I don't think so. The problem wouldn't be with the president "herself", but in the men who would be required to follow under her. Not alot of men, i blelieve would put their lives on a line for a women boss. Sure, a lot of guys...

Is South Park so offensive that this park should change their name?

shywolf @shywolf (4514) • United States 20 Jan 07

A park in Marysville, Ohio that had affectionately become known as "South Park" is now having it's name changed to "Greenwood Park" simply because officials from the Parks and Recreation Commission in Marysville feel that having...

sweetieBerry i think it's ok. south park now connotates a lot of negative things because of the show. if the parks commission thinks it's appropriate then by all means, let them do so. a lot of tourist attractions have done the same thing in the past.

sweetieBerry this is weird... never heard of this before. i guess the best way would be to call customer service of yahoo and verify. i don't know if yahoo even has customer service. but for $500, it's worth researching for.

Do you need alcohol to enjoy yourself on a night out?

emisle @emisle (3822) • Ireland 28 Dec 06

I myself don't, but I know a lot more people whose enjoyment would be severely affected. Many people decide before they go out that they're going to get absolutely hammered. I think this is stupid myself because you spend loads...

emisle @emisle (3822) • Ireland 27 Dec 06

Okay, i don't know if it applies to all states or varies, but in Ireland it's 18. If it was 21 I think a lot of young people would want to die! lol! And plus whether that would apply to the pubs and nightclubs too would also have...
