Bizziebod @Bizziebod (3497) 13 May 08

I've just been using the 'I can make you thin' CD, It's only been this last week and I must admit some of my craving for sweet food has already subsided. I wondered how many others have used his vast range of hypnosis CD's and if...

Food Animals VS. Pets

wooitsmolly @wooitsmolly (3613) • United States 25 May 08

I hear this a lot: "They're just 'food animals' so who cares how they are treated if they are born to die anyway?" When it comes to domesticated animals, this same kind of treatment would NOT fly. (Right?) Let's say here in...

Words being abbreviated, how do you like reading it?

juliefaye @juliefaye (1214) • Philippines 26 May 08

Nowadays, we abbreviate every word in our text messages to make it shorter and to save some space thereby sending long messages shorter. I find it really awkward the first time I have my cellphone, sometimes I cannot understand...
