How many alarm clocks do you have and use?

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 6 Apr 09

I have one alarm clock and usually get up after hitting snooze just once..lol..ut I was talking to some people at work and was surprised to find that most of them have at least two. They set them to go off within 5 minutes of each...

teabug We have several in the house, but only use one. If we have to catch a plane or something important we will set more than one. When I do that I place one so that it is out of reach....it is the no snooze alarm.

Cigarette Tax! OMG!

baileycows @baileycows (3665) • United States 13 Mar 09

Okay so I understand that I should not smoke and all the smokers out there are inevitably causing the insurance companies and the government lots of health care money. But when Obama took office why did he choose to raise...

teabug It is mostly political. It is so easy to put taxes on cigarettes and alcohol. For a politician they are raising money without costing themselves any votes. Noone will take the opposite side and say it is really almost unconstitutional to target a single area...

teabug I have that feeling now too. I usually start getting the yard in shape now that we probably will not have another freeze. You just have to get outside though. My favorite thing to do in the spring is take a walk around the lake. We have one that has a trail...

Do parents get a little "carried away" at their child's sports events?

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 4 Mar 09

I have been to what seems a zillion sporting evenys for my children and at everyone there seems to be the parent that screams and cusses. Hangs over the fence shaking their fist. On the news tonight a man was arrested for...

teabug We also see this on a regular basis. I played a zillion sports growing up as well and remember noticing a big difference between parents who were simply too "into" the game and ones that went overboard on the emotions. I have always thought the parents that...

Did you know you can overdose on water?!

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 15 Mar 09

I learned today on an educational channel that we can OD on water. I would have never thought it. It is apparently caused by the spped in which we intake it and not so much the amount. The signs of water overdose are irregular...

teabug I had never heard of it before either. Then a guy died at the local college during a fraternity initiation. It turns out they were making them drink a large amount of water as an initiation. I cannot remember the details of volume vs rate as to how much he...

Are you a traveler?

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 2 Apr 09

There are people that just have it in their blood to travel but there are those who would just rather be at home. I have known people that have never left the place they were raised then others who never stopped moving when they...

If you were a female actor and you had to fall in love with a male!

baileycows @baileycows (3665) • United States 26 Feb 09

Could you do it without really feeling anything? I mean think of the hottest actor you could think of and think about acting with him and now yall are kissing and going to bed. Can you really do this without any feeling? I was...

teabug It is more interesting to know that they probably already know each other from just being in the business. I would think the acting part would be easier if you totally do not know them. I mean at some point it is like having to make out with one of your...

St. Patricks Day!

baileycows @baileycows (3665) • United States 10 Mar 09

Does anyone really know what the celebration of St. Patricks day is. I know it is a Irish holiday but what for? Is it just another reason to get drunk and have green beer or what?

It's a Spring thing

teabug @teabug (15) 11 Mar 09

It happened yesterday. I walked outside and there it was that first feeling of Spring. External optimism, rejuvenation, a burst of energy. For me it it baseball season. Sitting at a mostly empty ballpark before the first game,...

Alex Rodriguez out at least 10 weeks - 4 months

jakeb1 @jakeb1 (562) • United States 5 Mar 09

The ongoing saga of A-Rod continues. It was reported today that he has a hip injury and if he chooses the surgery, he will be out for 4 months or if he chooses to rest, he would only be out 10 weeks. He will not play for the...

teabug It is sort of weird the timing of the injury and the whole steroids issues. Not really like there is a conspiracy, but maybe a sort of weird suspension. He is such a soap opera which usually leads to poor performance anyway.

Who is psyched about a new Van Halen CD with David Lee Roth back as vocalist?

Mgoodson @Mgoodson (82) • United States 18 Feb 09

I am happy to hear the news that DLR is back with VH. Just hope that the new CD will be worth the wait. What are your opinions about this reuniting of legends? What will you be looking for a new sound or a return to the Van Halen...

2 responses

teabug Anything they put out I will listen to and probably like. They get a free pass from me on critical response. I hope they stick to what got them there. Hasn't DLR had enough trying to make a new sound. Eddie playing guitar is all I really need.
