BlueBell101 @BlueBell101 (192) • Canada 5 Feb 07

I just got back from the Calfornia Coast in the US and well it was a real eye opener....First thing, I gave my 8 year old neice 3 Alba Terra Tints Neutral Lip balms for a Late Christmas gift. Second thing is she goes to a Catholic...

backtothesky i got into a debate not too long ago with a good friend of mine (i am male, she is female) about fake people. she chastised people for acting differently to impress others or to hide their true feelings, and, in typical devil's advocate fashion, i retorted...

backtothesky I'm not that big into video games myself, but World of Warcraft seems to be all the rage amongst most people I know. Even after being out for 2+ years, they just started a new ad campaign featuring a clip from the movie Office Space, so I've got to imagine...

Did you ever buy happy meals as a kid? To get the toy?

Piratesware @Piratesware (2888) • Indonesia 8 Dec 06

Did you ever buy happy meals as a young kid just to get the toy? Man I remember how I used to want to buy them just to get the toy inside. I used to get the super mario brothers toys. Man I wish I still had them, they would...

backtothesky I used to kick and scream to get the Happy Meals. Those toys were like a barometer for what was cool at that time. McDonald's did and still does a great job of knowing what is popular with the kids and marketing the appropriate toys. Kudos to them.

I'm in Canada myself :) Up in my bedroom on my desktop computer. I ask this because one thing that just amazes me is just how many people from around the world can write to each other on sites like this, as if they were just...

backtothesky I'm at work, just outside Detroit, Michigan, USA. I must say, I'm pretty surprised at the low-ish percentage of people actually in the States. Most sites I frequent are completely or almost completely Americans. I suppose that's just another thing that this...

A Woman for President?

KrauseHome @KrauseHome (36447) • United States 7 Dec 06

What a concept. Many here have discussed the thoughts of Hillary Clinton, Oprah, Judge Judy, and I think Condalisa Rice, and then a Good friend of mine suggested maybe someone like Minnie Mouse. But this got me thinking...

backtothesky I personally see no inherent problem with a woman being president, but I can't see it happening, at least not successfully, in my lifetime. Most political backers and funders are male, and wouldn't give the same respect to a woman candidate. The perception...

At what age is a person considered to be a "young" mother?

megs85 @megs85 (3142) • Australia 7 Dec 06

I am 21 and have a seven month old son, I often have people looking at me strangely. But all over the news are stories of fifteen and sixteen year old girls that have abused the system and had a child just to get the baby bonus....

backtothesky I think the idea of a "young" mother is really more a reflection of her situation than her age. If a woman is married and has a baby when she is 21, that seems to be much more socially acceptable than if she is unwed. No one really knows if a woman is...

backtothesky I just went through this not too long ago, from the child's point of view. I was working all through high school and focusing on that, while putting studying on the back burner. I was able to get out of high school with very good grades, still, so I thought...

Seinfeld: Ultimate Comedy

gaylordfocker615 @gaylordfocker615 (389) • Philippines 7 Dec 06

I've been a Seinfeld fan since the early 90's...when it was being shown late friday nights because of the mature issues/topics that some of its episodes featured. I'm still watching reruns of it today and just can't help but wish...

backtothesky I was too young to watch Seinfeld in its prime, but I've made every effort to catch up on the episodes after seeing a few reruns on tv. It's absolutely brilliant. If you're looking for something to quench your thirst for a similar type show, watch Curb Your...

Divorce

Boniswa1 @Boniswa1 (15) • South Africa 7 Dec 06

Why is it that so many people are getting divorced? About 90% of the people I know are divorced, me included. Is it maybe because it is so much easier today than in my grandparents' time? Or are we jumping into marriage too...

backtothesky I am a child of divorce, and it's funny to hear the responses from different people when they find out. Older people express their concern and ask things like "are you ok?" or "do you need someone to talk to you?" if i needed someone to talk to, I probably...
