Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be!

Do you have wildlife in your yard?

moonshadow68 @moonshadow68 (723) • United States 28 Jun 07

I have a lot of wildlife in my yard...squirrels, possums, birds, raccoons, a visiting skunk, garter snakes, etc. But today, a buck just wandered through my yard. This would be less surprising except that I live on a three lane...

winddrinker Not in my yard, but on the other side of the road I saw a badger one day. As far as I can tell there aren't supposed to be any badgers in central Virginia. Aside from that we have the usual assortment of opossum, deer (who ate the tops off of all my...

Your Wedding is Just Around the Corner...

sharon_ @sharon_ (1169) • United States 28 Jun 07

Hypothetically or for real; and you have just been told by a best friend or family member that your future husband or wife has been "seeing" someone else besides you. Just how would you handle a situation like that?

around the corner

best friend

family

pre wedding nightmare

seeing someone else

winddrinker The sensible thing to do would be to talk to your prospective husband/wife about what you heard and try to figure out if you should go ahead with the wedding. There would be no point in even considering a wedding if this topic was off the table for...

AbsentStare @AbsentStare (179) • Australia 25 Jun 07

I'm looking for fresh ideas, new spins on the classics, and just something different! What do you like on your pizza, what was the best you ever had? I enjoy making pizza, and when I do, I usually make several varieties on the...

winddrinker I don't think it is unique anymore but I have really enjoyed a white pizza (no red sauce) that was topped with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, a little olive oil, roasted garlic and fresh mushrooms. Simple, wonderful.

Squirrels

tdbrower1969 @tdbrower1969 (1242) • United States 28 Jun 07

We just moved into the house we are renting about a month ago. In the neighboorhood we live in there are a ton of squirrels, and they seem to be very street smart. Every morning I go out to feed the stray cat that I took to...

winddrinker I also love watching squirrels. For a while I used to buy 5lb. bags of unsalted peanuts to entice them to my back deck. At night I would hide the nuts in various nooks and crannies and watch them look for them in the morning. Most days they would find them...

Americans are STUPID, do you agree with that??

winddrinker I don't think Americans are more stupid than any other people but they are certainly frequently ignorant and lacking curiosity about the world. I think what you see on that video is what happens when you destroy intellect in public schools and create a...

Have you explored on-line dating? Did you put up an honest profile/picture?

winddrinker @winddrinker (28) • United States 28 Jun 07

While I have heard many horror stories from people who had bad experiences with online services but my experience has been almost entirely positive. While I don't check the sites any more (I found my partner of 4 years through one...

winddrinker I agree, it seems to be a great way to meet people that you would never have an opportunity to meet otherwise. My partner was actually on the West Coast when we started corresponding.

What browser do you use? IE, Mozilla, Firefox

madreloca @madreloca (57) • United States 1 Nov 06

I'm definitely a fan of Firefox, I never ever ever use IE unless I absolutely have to, usually just with a couple games on yahoo. I've been using Firefox for about 4 years now and would reccommend it to everyone.

browser

firefox

internet

winddrinker Firefox is my favorite but for a while I used Opera which was pretty good. I try to avoid IE whenever possible.

how is the market for flipping a house now?

scorpio808dee @scorpio808dee (6) • United States 23 Jun 07

I just started watch "Flip this house" and I am very interested in doing it. I found a house in the orange county, ca that is small enough for a quick fix and maybe a good profit. The neighborhood is safe and close to schools and...

winddrinker Foreclosure properties could be a better deal but it could also be the same set of problems. Some foreclosures occur when the owners of the property find themselves owing more on the property than the property is worth. This can happen when the market falls in...

Can You Really Put A Curse On Someone?

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 24 Jun 07

Is it really possible to curse someone? If someone has upset you or crossed you is it just fantasy to be able to put a curse on them or has it been done. Can people really put curses on others and send out bad karma? Or is it...

Do you always have to buy the top of the line?

arkaf61 @arkaf61 (10881) • Canada 24 Jun 07

Some people feel that nothing but the top of the line os everything is worth. They don't research, they don't compare, they just assume that the top of the line is best than everything else and nothing else compares. They also...

winddrinker I think that you have to think about categories of "stuff" when you are considering what you want to spend your cash on. I am sort of a "foodie". I prefer to buy veggies as close to the source as possible or to grow my own. I prefer things that are hand made...
