arkaf61 I think we are all- as people - going overboard over small things. Sharing soap is fine and as hygienic as anything else. There is no proof in contrary and no need to worry about it. Actually other than for special reasons, there is no specific proof that soap...

Do you have a childhood friendship that is still strong until today?

reco13 @reco13 (605) • Philippines 25 Oct 11

I can say that I am friendly and I keep my friends just like treasure. Sad to say, only a few manage to give back the friendship I show. Most of my childhood friends who happen to be successful now, have already forgotten me. I...

arkaf61 Well, some friendships stay... some go. In my experience good friendships stay, weak ones don't and when I think about it, it's not a bad deal :) I still have two very strong friends from childhood even though I have moved so far it is very rare that we see...

Do you eat food with red food coloring? Did you know you're eating bugs?

prettyruby @prettyruby (350) • United States 19 Oct 11

Did you know that any food with red food coloring is almost guaranteed to have been made with bugs? The insect cochineal produces a substance called carminic acid, which is used by food manufacturing companies to produce 'carmine...

arkaf61 Why stop? Richer drink with extra protein :) Actually I prefer bugs to all the chemicals they put in everything to give it colour, taste, texture etc. etc. etc. I know, it sounds gross, but it's way less "unhealthy" than some of the stuff that is added to our...

Do you use lipstick or lipgloss? Did you know you're putting bugs on your lips?

prettyruby @prettyruby (350) • United States 19 Oct 11

Did you know that any makeup with a red or pink coloring is almost guaranteed to have been made with bugs? The insect cochineal makes a chemical called carminic acid, which is used by makeup manufacturers to create a red dye. So...

The population in the US is starting to plateau. Is this a good thing or bad?

prettyruby @prettyruby (350) • United States 19 Oct 11

For a long time the U.S. recited the mantra that 'growth is good', and the country, and indeed the world, grew and grew. Now we are closing in on 7 billion people on this planet, but a majority of that growth is seen in developing...

arkaf61 There's always a good point and a bad point to everything. Our planet is not growing, just us LOL That makes it somewhat limited for uncontrolled growth. Yet, an aging population has it's low points too. AS people age and retire, well... who's gonna take over...

Can you sleep when the lights are on?

Jacruz25 @Jacruz25 (1124) • Philippines 17 Oct 11

I don't have problem if the lights are on or not, I can sleep either way. Of course most of us prefer turning off the lights to sleep more comfortably. I can't sleep only if I'm thinking something deeply.

arkaf61 I can sleep either way, it doesn't really make a difference to me. However I tend to prefer having at least a small light on. Nothing too bright, but some light. In my other room I used to have the street lights by my window, so I didn't need anything else as...

Vitamin is risky for aged women

bhanusb @bhanusb (5709) • India 13 Oct 11

Most of us have a general idea that to take vitamin is good for health. But the researchers found a reverse fact. They claim if aged women take more vitamins their risk of death increases. Vitamin may be useful for those who are...

arkaf61 Everything with balance and common sense always, is better than any research and counter-research. Commons sense will tell us that too much of anything - even a good thing - is not necessarily healthy. Trying to achieve a balance between what we eat to...

arkaf61 I don't think it has anything to do with OCD :) People - as a rule - like to look tidy and neat. That's a good thing ( is it a good thing still? LOL ). Like you I don't iron all of our clothes. Many things nowadays don't really wrinkle and if we take them from...

arkaf61 Yes, more and more people are finding themselves without a job and that creates many problems that end up leaving people going around around in a circle and not knowing what to do. It is also creating new trends. For example, it used to be that one person...
