LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 3 Dec 11

It's that time of the year again. Did you make resolutions for 2011? If so, how did it go? I did well this year. My resolutions were to take off 20 lbs and to write two books. I managed to achieve both. I haven't decided what I...

Is anyone out there as hooked on this case as I am? I watch the proceedings every day and I find the entire process fascinating. I think that the prosecution did a good job but I also believe that the defense has scored some...

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 2 Oct 10

Well, not just live cheaply but that also has a stable government and is English speaking. My husband and I have a limited income and it is almost impossible for us to live here with the money that we have to live on. Any...

Heidi Montag

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 30 Sep 10

It was reported on the internet today that Heidi Montag of "The Hills" reconciled with Spencer Pratt. I think that they are both media hogs and that the whole split was a setup to extended the last five minutes of their 15 minutes...

What's your favorite reality show?

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 30 Sep 10

For me, it's all reality all the time. My favorite is Survivor because besides watching how people exist in conditions that they are not accustomed to, it is also a study in how human beings relate to each other when they have to...

If you could live to be 200 years old, would you want to?

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 28 Sep 10

I think that off the top all of us would say absolutely but the question isn't as simple as it seems. If you lived that long, you would have retired at age 70 and the money that you had would have to last over 100 years. You would...

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 26 Sep 10

The percentage of Americans living in poverty has risen to 14.3%, the highest percentage in decades. The simplest explanation is the unemployment rate but I think that other factors contribute as well. Do you agree? What do you...

Do you think that Paris Hilton received preferential treatment?

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 22 Sep 10

Paris Hilton pled guilty to cocaine possession and as a result of her plea bargain, she was sentenced to 1 year of probation and no jail time. I am so tired of celebrities and faux celebrities getting a slap on the wrist for their...

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 21 Sep 10

If money wasn't an issue and you could only visit one destination which one would you choose? Why? For me, I think that it would be the Amalfi coast of Italy. I'd like to go there because I think that the coastline is one of the...

So, I got so sick of all of the hype over this show that I almost didn't watch the peremiere. The only reason that I turned it on was because I've never seen Jason Ritter and I wanted to see if he was as talented as his father,...

I've seen a lot of discussions asking about what our thoughts are about the building of a mosque in the vicinity of the 9/11 site. I think that the larger question is why Muslims would even want to build a mosque near the site. I...
