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?

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...

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...

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.

Can You Really Put A Curse On Someone?

Brian @wolfie34 (26770) • 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 the concept of Top-of-the-line is more an advertising concept and ego thing than a reflection of value. If a person's self esteem comes from possessions then I guess top-of-the-line has some utility for him or her. The culture in the USA is so focused...

War In Iraq - Why stay there any longer??

jaro74 @jaro74 (1) • United States 21 May 07

There is a civil war going in Iraq right now and I don't understand why is USA staying there any longer, we waist our time and money and American lifes to solve somebody else's problem. Let me know what do you think...

winddrinker They shouldn't have gone in, they should leave as soon as possible (how long would it take to get enough boats and planes to get our troops out of there?). The people of Iraq have suffered enough both from this war and the war and sanctions preceding it. The...

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...

The campaign secret of Dennis Kucinich

irregular @irregular (7) • United States 19 Mar 07

The secret strength of the presidential campaign of Democrat Dennis Kucinich is this:Dennis Kucinich cares less about winning the campaign than he does about staying true to his progressive ideals. Is that enough to carry...

winddrinker I think a Kucinich victory is unlikely, People in this country don't vote with their minds. I would be thrilled to think that he had a chance though, it has been so long since our political environment has produced a candidate who might actually do something...
