Did anyone see The Amazing Race last night? Who are your favorite teams?

kate1356 @kate1356 (697) • United States 19 Feb 07

I really enjoyed the show last night. It looks like it is going to be a good season. I wasn't surprised that Rob and Amber came in first place. In my opinion, it looks like they will be the team to beat. I was impressed with Danny...

michelledarcy @michelledarcy (5220) 12 Feb 07

With the increase in environmental destruction due to the large human population on this planet, how should we reduce the number of people on the earth? How about stopping Health treatment for the over 65's as they are no...

andiesmama I'm trying to wrap my mind around the fact that you are probably really serious about your comments. What support do you have to support your statement that people over 65 are no longer able to work? I know LOTS of people over 65 who still work part-time...

andiesmama Yes, I believe in God, there's no question to me. I don't believe in Allah, or any other "god", nor do I lump Him in with a "higher power." God is....period.

white or chocolate cake for wedding reception?

princessmelokia @princessmelokia (513) • Canada 12 Feb 07

i am making my own cake for my wedding and i was wondering if it would be better to use white cake or chocolate cake?

5 responses •

andiesmama Why not both? Is it going to be more than one layer? That way, you'd have some for people who like white, and some for people who like chocolate. Are you doing a groom's cake? Maybe HIS could be chocolate and then the actual wedding cake could be...

andiesmama I agree that you should just get out of the house (if possible)when they start arguing. And when you leave, tell them calmly that you're leaving for awhile because you don't want to be in the house when they are fighting. That would get the message across a...

What is something unusual you have done in the past year?

cassidy22 @cassidy22 (2974) • United States 11 Feb 07

I often use this question as a sort of ice breaker in meetings. It just gets people to open up a bit. I found out that a friend of mine was made to "disappear" at a David Copperfield show! I may never have known, of course, now we...

Do you believe some books have evil spirits in them?

ajinomoto23 @ajinomoto23 (1057) • Philippines 11 Feb 07

I bought a book from a religious store but when I read it I feel bad. Its about false religion and people who started false religion causing the death of the followers or deceived their followers. Even books with pictures of evil...

andiesmama I don't necessarily believe the evil spirits are "in" the books BUT I think those kinds of books can open doors for satan to enter our life. It turns our thinking away from God, even for a moment, and gives the evil one a chance for a foothold...even a little...

andiesmama There's no perfect age. I gave birth to our daughter just a couple months before I turned 36, and for me that was the perfect age! For some women, tho, the perfect age might be 26. One thing, you don't want to have kids just because you think you might be...
