Fortunata Thanks for your reply! My fanfiction skills are quite rusty, and need some feedback,lol! I don't remember that writer's last name, unfortunately. What I thought was cool is she crossed over into doing full length novels, yaoi, of course. She did a lot of...

Fortunata I always check my email accounts first, because I belong to a lot of reward and survey sites, then check the news, and usually go to Facebook in the middle somewhere, then check my email accounts again, lol.

So, I heard students, mostly are those nerds were bullied by those school "Jock", or those bigger guys, typical bully example in life. Or at whatever occasion you might encounter such incidents. What is the best way to fight...

Fortunata I would tell an adult at the school, then tell my parents. It doesn't do any good to fight the bully, because you could get expelled as well as the bully, and it gets on your record, too.

Drying Clothes in Winter

hvedra @hvedra (1619) 9 Dec 11

I am lucky enough to have a garden to hang clothes in during the summer, but in the winter the weather can be too damp to get things dry out there so I'm using an indoor drying rack. I'm lucky enough to have space to put one up...

Fortunata Do you 'peg' your line outside? That is, raise it up with a stick? When I went to visit my husband's family for the first time in Great Britain, that's what his Mother did. I helped her pin the laundry on the line, and when we were through, she said, "One more...

coffeebreak @coffeebreak (17798) • United States 8 Dec 11

Are you serious! It could have been a hoot of a show! But did they? Oh, no! They just let the last "Cochran Whine" go off into the sunset with hardly a word! Here he was, going to Redemption Island with Ozzy! The bantering...

Fortunata Thanks for the update! I usually watch Survivor, but X Factor is on at the same time this season and I've only watched a couple of episodes. I'm glad they've kept the Redemption Island part of the game, it makes it a lot more interesting.

Fortunata I wonder how effective this program is? I've never seen it before. Do they follow these teens later, and follow up to see if they indeed are on the straight and narrow? I'm curious about that. Otherwise it just seems to be a waste of time, other than just...

Do You Have Arguments About What To Watch On TV?

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 8 Dec 11

We don't have arguments as such because - let's face it, hubby has the remote so I don't get a look-in. Just now I hinted at a programme I'd recorded on Sky+ the other night (whilst he was out playing billiards) with the words,...

I love to use Coupons do you?

avonrep1 @avonrep1 (1862) • United States 8 Dec 11

I love using coupons. Every Sunday I get up and rush to the store to get three different papers. I sit and clip coupons every week and daily am checking out printable coupons on the internet. I also have reward cards to every...

Fortunata I mostly look for coupons online, that way I won't have to spend money on newspapers to get them. I print them out on my printer, then use them. I'm pretty picky about what I use, most of them are useless to me. There are only a handful of good sites online...

Duggar family looses baby number twenty

3SnuggleBunnies @3SnuggleBunnies (16374) • United States 8 Dec 11

I don't have cable so I don't watch their show but many people know of this couple who have a reality tv show with 19 kids and they were expecting number 20. Well there's sad news to report that Michelle Duggar has lost baby...

Fortunata That's sad that she lost the baby, but maybe it's for the best. I think this woman needs to give her body a rest and concentrate on other things rather than being a baby making machine. I've never seen the show, but I wonder how her relationship is with the...

Fortunata Maybe this will wake people up who have loved ones in the military as to what's being done with those remains. I'm not surprised as to how the military are treated anyway, and the goverment should be ashamed. Why weren't they put into the sea? That would have...

Fortunata I'm quite fond of fanfiction, especially Harry Potter. I didn't know it existed until I stumbled upon a site of this type of fiction. I also liked a writer named 'Jade' who wrote anime fanfiction plus Harry Potter. I don't know if she's still around, she used...

Any Left handers had their hand changed by teachers

Joni @joni1215 (394) • United States 8 Dec 11

I have wondered about this for a while. In our country at least, children who were left handed were often made to learn to use their right hand because it was easier for teachers. People who are right handed are right brain...

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9464) • United States 8 Dec 11

There are so many anxieties and problems that cause stress. When you are really stressed out what do you do to help calm you down? It seems as if life continually throws things our way. And I know at times I feel as if I'm at my...

Fortunata I heard this story too, and find it hard to believe she was denied foodstamps. There must have been something else going on. Was she getting child support? If she was, sometimes the welfare office will cut your stamps or won't give you any more money if you're...

The Late Late Show

dodoguy @dodoguy (1292) • Australia 7 Dec 11

Fortunata No, but I wish I did. I can't stand Letterman, he's so pompous and full of himself. Ever since he got into trouble with his love life he just seems uncredible to me as a talk show host. Is Craig Ferguson a comedian, or an actor? Name sounds familiar to me.
