Are you a list fanatic?

alainnmiog @alainnmiog (660) • United States 10 Nov 06

I make up lists for just about everything. Grocery lists, to do lists, etc. I even have a chore list to keep up with my family's messes.

alainnmiog You sound like me! I always start organizationsl stuff (calendars, journals, lists, etc) with the best intentions, but end up "not having time" to keep up with them. It seems like I will cross one thing off my list, and add two more things to it. It gets to...

Reverse Racism?

http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030922-115056-2744r.htm A 15 year old girl started a Caucasian Club at her school. On the surface this might seem racist of her, but on closer examination is it really? It's not like she...

alainnmiog When I hear "that thug," I (personally) do not automatically think of a black male. I think of a man in general, no matter the color of his skin, that is behaving criminally. History does have a lot to do with how almost everyone thinks of different races....

What's the worst hairstyle you ever had?

tentwo67 @tentwo67 (3382) • United States 17 Oct 06

alainnmiog I do tend to put in extra hours in the evenings after the kids go to bed. Not always, but it does happen. It's much easier when my older son (6) is in school to get work done. My 3 year old is a perfect angel for me during the day. When the other one gets...

alainnmiog My 3-year-old helps sometimes. He'll help pick up toys at a friend's house, but has issues with picking up his own toys. He'll start to pick up, but ends up playing with them instead. My 6-year-old will help out more if I say we can't go somewhere until...

Don't you hate it when people talk during a movie at the theater?

deeds14 @deeds14 (815) • United States 28 Oct 06

I was at the movies today and this guy was talking throughout the whole thing. A girl told him to be quiet and he got really mad. So the guy and girl and their boyfriend and girlfriend pretty much had a fistfight in the lobby....

alainnmiog I don't think I would have the courage, either. I think I would say something to someone that works there.

alainnmiog Yes, it is very rewarding when you can use what you've learned and worked so hard for. Long hours and low pay make it difficult, but if you like what you do, it can be worth it. Sometimes great pay just isn't worth it if you don't like what you are doing. I...
