It doesn't matter if you currently swim, I would just like to know if you CAN swim. I'm rather odd in that I can swim below water, but once I come for air, all I can do is dog paddle. And I don't know if that would save my life...

SoCali2No I can swim very well. I think I learned at the YMCA...When I was a kid we had a pool in the back. My brothers and I would swim ALL day in the summer time. I can swim backwards, forward, I can even do the butterfly stroke. Ironically though, my mother has never...

A lot of my friends say that I'm lucky. I don't have to worry about going home at night because i'm always fetched, having good grades, having a complete family and a good set of curly hair. I do appreciate these good blessings...

SoCali2No Before I developed a sense of confidence in myself - my looks and my personality i was jealous of my friends about all kinds of stuff. But, these days I only get jealous of my friends who are more sociable than I am, as I'm recovering from extreme shyness....

SoCali2No I'd like to be in love with someone. But, until I meet the one who is right for me I'm still very much fulfilled by my loved ones and things that I'm doing with my own life. I think it's easy for those who are experiencing love right now to feel that it's the...

SoCali2No Oh, I definately agree that the money is probably not the sole motivation for anyone on here. If so, they must be working overtime to earn. I'm making close to nothing, yet I still log on everyday to take a look at what new discussions I can contribute to. So,...

I'm not. Sure it's nice to walk into an air conditioned room when it's sweltering hot outside, but as I was saying in another post, it's bad for climate change. Every night at my work when I go into the office, I find that the air...

SoCali2No I know I'm the exception but I don't care for air conditioning. I mean, don't get me wrong...It's definately a nice luxury. I'm out here in Korea and it's hot and extremely humid. But, every cab or building you walk into is freezing. It doesn't help that as...

SoCali2No I have a mean sweet tooth, so anytime I have more than one option for dessert it takes me a while to choose. My absolute favorite dessert is the chocolate chip paradise pie from Chili's bar and grill. If you've never tried it, I highly recommend you do next...
