bettemachete Man I tell you what, I live out here in Kansas, and we have been buried under feet of snow! Maybe the place the items were shipping from was really hit by bad weather, even though it wasnt so bad in your area. It sucks to have to wait on a package, but I...

bettemachete Dude I am totally proud of you for doing that. Dont worry about what your friends said. I mean, you could have gotten hurt, but what if that person had done something terrible? Like, what if you were standing in the street and someone took off with your...

bettemachete I have an RV and I must say it has been one of the greatest living experiences either. Its what I bought and moved into when I got laid off. I know that sounds sad, but honestly, now I have a lot more freedom than I ever did before. I own my own "home,"...

bettemachete I have a lot of German and Mexican money from my trips there. As an American Im always really jealous of other countries money, because of how colorful and well designed it is. I think American money is well designed too but I really like how other...

What makes a real MOM

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 7 Feb 11

Does a woman have to have a baby to become a real Mom? Is a real Mom any loving caring woman who cares for children, regardless of the physical relationship? Does a real Mom have to be a woman?

bettemachete I dont think a real mom has to be a woman, and I dont think blood relation makes a mom either. I think the nuturing spirit and the love and caring are what really make a mom. Taking care of child and making sure that they know that you love them is what...

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 7 Feb 11

I was thinking how it would be cool if kids can go to factories for field trips. I know it would probably be too expensive or hazardous but I think it would be great if we can go to see how things are made. Then maybe people might...

bettemachete When I worked for a local teen center we took our kids on all types of trips. Since they were teenagers I think we were able to get away with more than younger groups. We took them to some factories, mainly a food production factory and another local...

Dancing therapy.

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 7 Feb 11

Last year I got myself a few hula dancing DVDs and learned to do the hula. I loved it! Now, I'm working on my salsa and it's more faster than hula, but I feel so good after I do it. Eventually, I'd also like to get a belly dancing...

bettemachete Thank you for sharing this...I will definately be trying it out. My only fail safe method is to use the bread machine. Im also from Georgia, so I have the option of copping out and just making good cornbread! hahaha!

bettemachete I agree that action was really rude. I think MyLot helps alot of people learn english, and there was no reason for that person to correct them, of course it was embarassing.

What do you feel is the main reason for India still being a developing nation?

legspinismylife2 @legspinismylife2 (181) • India 7 Oct 10

We all know that India has made its mark on global economy through the IT sector. But the change of title from a developing nation to a developed nation has still not been seen. Why could this be to narrow it down could it be...

bettemachete For some reason, I think it is because of the way people treat each other, like the caste system. I think that still weighs heavily on many people, and is a cultural restriction in a way. Im not sure.
