p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 24 Nov 08

The postman brought us a postcard the other day from a friend who is taking a short holiday. Apart from the minor miracle that the card arrived before she gets home I got to thinking about whether sending postcards is as popular...

11strikes It would surely be nice to find a reason to smile amongst our daily stack of stressful mail. It has been a long time since I got one and it is a good idea actually for people who like to travel. And the nice thing about it is the postcards are not in...

Working Part time Offline is Better than Working Online...

sdas86 @sdas86 (6076) • Malaysia 24 Nov 08

I think that taking part time job offline is earning more than working online. Making money online is only making very little money and it takes a lot of efforts. If we work offline such as working part time in shops, the wages...

11strikes As I see it, it is better to start working online part time. Working online full time is good if you are already making money and it seems there is not much of them people who do. We read so much about how they made good money working online and that we can...

11strikes Yes it is very much observed around here in the US. Whenever you see a stop sign, you really need to make a complete stop not just slow down. There are road signs everywhere and they are actually there for the driver's safety. They are not just rules. So...

11strikes My wife will cook the turkey herself for the first time (someone else usually did) and I am very excited for her. I usually cook pumpkin pie and would want to share it with my in-laws down state. That means we have to travel with the turkey 180 miles. But I...

11strikes If I had the opportunity, I would want to learn to play the violin. I hear a lot of nice music played on it. But it would take a lot of money and I can not afford to get one. Then it is very difficult to find one who can teach me for free. The piano is good...

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 20 Nov 08

11strikes It may sound silly but I always loved Winter Wonderland. The beat is good and every time I hear it, makes me tap with the beat. For a romantic tune, I always loved White Christmas (is that the title? LOL)

11strikes I only like plain chocolate. I barely eat chocolate with anything else on it. Peanuts are a big no for me. I don't like the taste and smell of it. Or maybe I am just not used to it.

The American Legion, in my town, voted me as Chaplain. Now that was a surprise.

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 21 Nov 08

All I do is read the prayers at each meeting. Since I read outloud well, I was voted for that post. Luckily it has nothing to do with being religious or religion. Have you ever been voted into a position before? Was it a surprise?...

11strikes There is a American Legion just around the corner where I live but I really never got to join. The biggest surprise I got was when I was voted Vice President in our union. I am a very soft spoken person but maybe my thoughts about labor rights made me accept...

11strikes I never had a penpal but I still believe writing letters is the best way to communicate. The computer has made letters a bit informal. Letter writing is more personal and is a bit touching because you see a unique handwriting. My wife still leaves a short...

I Couldn't Wait for Turkey Day!

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 16 Nov 08

11strikes I love roast chicken too and I also thought it would be better to have one instead of turkey on Thanksgiving Day. But that day is not complete without a turkey so I still got one. I love my hotdogs with sauerkraut not with my chicken. But that is a good idea...
