aplaza Personally I think that Pinks hotdogs are the best. Pinks is on Melrose in Los Angeles. You can get all kinds of dogs there, but their chili is out of this world. You'd be best off eating on the sidewalk because they do have a few tables where you can...

My hubby and I wanted a different kind of table in our kitchen. One of our neighbors had a kitchen set just sitting in her garage. It was nearly perfect. Needed a bit of cleaning. And she sold it to us for $20. The table seats...

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 10 Mar 09

Some people keep an outside light on at night for the whole night. Others will turn them off when they go to bed. We have motion sensor lights. Do you keep a light on at night?

aplaza I think that motion sensors are a good option. I used to have neighbors that had a very bright light on all night. The problem was that it would shine right through my curtains and keep me up all night. Asking politely to change it or at least the angle didn't...

Ban of blue tooth mobile device in cars

paula27661 @paula27661 (15811) • Australia 8 Mar 09

Here in Western Australia we've had a ban on talking on mobile phones in cars for a while and if you are caught chatting on the phone while driving you will be fined. I think that is fair enough, as it is major safety issue. I...

ban on phones in cars

4 responses

aplaza The thing with talking on the phone is that your brain acts differently than when you have the radio on for example. And that causes accidents. If it's only a dent then what the heck right? But what if you or the others end up with something like a whiplash...

aplaza I really loved the book he wrote called "The Rest of The Story". It has all this stuff in it that you really do know but he writes it in such a way that when you get to the end you think 'oh yeah!' Indeed too bad that a lot of younger people don't know about...

aplaza If you are into the body/mind thing then yoga may be an option. You probably don't have to sign up for a load of sessions right away either. A lot of places will let you try one or two at a discount so you can see if it's the thing for you.

How do you do your cooking budget/meal budgets?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 8 Mar 09

Do you make menus for the week? or is it 'anything goes'? We are having problems here at home with the meals. Problems like having the same thing over and over again. We seemed to have gotten the last drops of our creative...

stacyv81 @stacyv81 (5903) • United States 10 Mar 09

aplaza I suppose it's their way of 'trying' out something new. If it's really a hit they might keep it on the menu. After all if nobody wanted the quarter pounder a zillion years ago it wouldn't be on there anymore. Another thing is that maybe there are certain...

Which Pay to Read sites pay NO LESS than a penny?

handsomeitaliano @handsomeitaliano (1050) • United States 19 Dec 08

Sound crazy? Well there's some PTC and PTR sites that pay only little fractions of a penny per assignment/click. Good example: Fusion Mails. So in otherwords you have to read or click like 100 things before you make it to 1 cent....
