Empress4 I was a Creative Memories Consultant. I like their products, but didn't really have any customers, and didn't scrap enough to support my habit.

Empress4 I will have to check out those links. I got one this past fall but have hardly used it because the exercise video that came with it seems really lame. These are also good when you have a pregnant friend come over for dinner, they are more comfortable to sit...

Who owns an iPod?

cowboyzfan @cowboyzfan (718) • United States 31 Jan 07

I'm addicted to them. You would think that I would get the message after being through 4 of them (2 videos and 2 nanos), but it's impossible for me to just give up on the iPod thing. I'm now on my 5th one that I bought on...

I am gonna be a bridesmaid.

cheryl07 @cheryl07 (54) • United States 31 Jan 07

So, I know plenty of you women out there were in a wedding or two. How about those dreaded bridesmaid gowns? You know you tell the bride you like them, but deep down, you think to yourself, what is she thinking... We got our...

Empress4 Well I am going to be a bridesmaid in my friends wedding (who has posted a little bit on here) and she is letting all the bridesmaids that are available to give input. I guess brides should decide what they would be ok wearing before having their maids wear...

Usernames- one or many?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 25 Jan 07

I've noticed that some of my online friends have seperate usernames for each forum/messenger/chatroom/game they use. It seems a little odd to me, because my online name is something very significant to me that I always use when...

Empress4 I use the same user name everywhere... when I came up with it I thought it was very creative and don't want to change. Now it is helpful because I am signed up on so many sites.. and if someone sees Empress4 elsewhere on the web 9.5 times out of 10 it is me.

Kmart or Walmart, which do you prefer?

pebbles724 @pebbles724 (642) • United States 17 Jan 07

Which store do you prefer to shop at, Kmart or Walmart? I think they both have the same quality of merchandise, but I prefer Walmart. I usually have an easier time finding what I am looking for at Walmart. Many times when Kmart...

Empress4 Neither.. though if I had to choose I would pick Kmart because I have never been in a Wal Mart and plan to never be in one. I really don't like their business practices. Now around here Target is king for discount shopping. Back when I worked near one I...

lauriefnp @lauriefnp (5109) • United States 29 Dec 06

who shovels the snow in YOUR driveway?

kittykatzz @kittykatzz (1132) • United States 16 Jan 07

Empress4 I am lucky. My husband owns a landscape business and owns a skid loader.. so he plows out our driveway with it. Ocassionally I will shovel the sidewalk or deck.. kind of depends on if he is gone and if I have to deal with the kids.

Do you agree with letting a loved one pass if their health is not improving?

immadismom @immadismom (475) • United States 2 Jan 07

Empress4 I think the first thing to look at is what their wishes are. And if they are ok with letting them go I really would look at their quality of life and (honestly) how old they are. I know for me I want to be kept alive, buy my husband is the opposite.. and...

Do you Purchase Books?

blogyourself @blogyourself (1577) • United States 10 Jan 07

I went into a bookstore tonight but couldn't force myself to buy anything. I just don't understand the point of buying books when you can read them from the library for free. Every now and then I find something that I know I am...

Empress4 Funny you say this, because I am planning on trying to get to the store today to purchase a book. I don't normally buy books though. I would rather borrow them from the library. The last couple I have bought have either been self help or a "Chicken Soup"...

rick615 @rick615 (413) • United States 7 Jan 07

Empress4 I agree there is so many books out there. I would rather spend my time reading a new book then re-reading one. I haven't re-read a book since high school when I had to read "The Scarlet Letter" for a second time.

OOHCUTE2340 @OOHCUTE2340 (761) • United States 10 Jan 07

Here is something I can speak on with confidence...MARRIAGE

try2bsincere @try2bsincere (69) • United States 27 Dec 06

God Day Folks! I have been married for only 6 years and I married at the age of 18. Why so young you may ask, but I did this for a few reasons. One, I was attracted to men (lol). Two, I had already decided that if I was going...
