Laundry Softener: Liquid or Sheets?

freak369 @freak369 (5112) • United States 14 Jun 07

Rose - Is it your most favourite flower?

ranjeetkolarkar @ranjeetkolarkar (1595) • India 9 Jul 07

My favourite flower is rose. I like it because it is not only beautiful to look at but also has a pleasant fragrance. In my opinion, a flower is not complete without a pleasant fragrance. What is your opinion?
