Can you lose your taste for Coffee?

CoffeeAnyone @CoffeeAnyone (3210) • Canada 15 Jan 08

What is wrong with me lately? If I lost my taste for coffee? Maybe I am just completely spoiled as I have had a lot of Tim Horton's coffee in the past few months. Here is the deal! My coffee pot broke down. I went to buy a new one...

Jade27 Taste buds do change with age and become weaker but I do not think they would change that drastically in such a short period of time. I love coffee but I notice that sometimes it just doesn't taste right to me, even if I try different kinds. I think it maybe...

I came across this news that famous talk show host Ellen Degeneres, and of how she had adopted a dog Iggy, a Brussels Griffon mix, on Sept. 20 from the Mutts and Moms dog rescue agency. Now she is a die hard animal lover, and...

Do you carry or wear protective or good luck charms or other items?

wotfpatty @wotfpatty (2065) • United States 17 Oct 07

I wondered if you wear or carry anything with you that you feel protects you. Many people have St. Christopher's medals in their cars to protect them from accidents and such. I am a Christian and I do have a few small medals I...

Jade27 I wear a cross. I know that as a christian we are not to "worship" symbols but I do not think that my wearing it and thinking that it helps me is the same as worshipping it. I wear it to remind me of what Jesus did for us and that is what helps me when times...

Jade27 Almost every city I have lived in has a program to get pets spayed/neutered for a reduced price or for free. I know that one place had clinics that would spay/neuter for an entire day every month for a lower price. I think that every city that does not already...

CoffeeAnyone @CoffeeAnyone (3210) • Canada 4 Aug 07

Jade27 I think many cultures prefer boys to girls. I think it may be because men are allowed to have more honored positions in their societies than girls are allowed. I think that people should be happy with whatever child they get. I must admit that I think boys are...

You have pain; do you go to the doctor?

CoffeeAnyone @CoffeeAnyone (3210) • Canada 2 Oct 07

I am one of these people that just do not go to the doctor. I am probably lucky that there has not been anything seriously wrong with me. I can remember one time I was having dizzy spells off and on for a year or more. Eventually...

Jade27 The only time I ever go to the doctor is when I am pregnant and once a year other than that. I do not go to the doctor for aches and pains or anything of that nature. I think doctors usually just throw drugs at you and hope that it works. I do, however, go to...

Jade27 I used to use a comb all the time but recently I started using a brush because I got a haircut, that I hate, and I now have to use a round brush to get it to look somewhat decent. I am growing it back out though and will definitely be going back to a comb.

Jade27 I agree with everyone else. It really depends on how you plan to use your camera. While I am a huge fan of Canon, I hear that the new Nikon is excellent as well. If I were to buy a new camera it would probably be a new Canon rebel since it will work with some...

Do all dogs run away?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 3 Jul 07

When I was a kid, we had to keep our dog behind a fence or he'd run off. I'm not sure why he did it, maybe he was just unhappy. Is this true for all dogs? Do all dogs run away if they are not behind a fence or chained up? Can a...

Jade27 I personally prefer red wine. I believe that it is better for you, and I like the taste better. My husband on the other hand prefers white wine, although, I have been able to find a few reds that he enjoys.
