blondbat This is a great movie, I couldn't stop laughing! But the underlying message is great too - take a chance on things. Saying yes all the time might not be the answer but getting out of your comfort zone by saying yes when you might have said no is a great idea....

Got Wood?

minnie_98214 @minnie_98214 (10557) • United States 28 Apr 09

We are almost done with our hardwood floors in our livingroom. Anyone who has installed these know it is not easy work by any means but oh does it look nice when done. Now I have no carpet anywhere in my house and am happy to get...

blondbat I wish I had nothing but wood floors. Since I've almost always had pets, I have always hated carpet. I've had wood floors in the past and wish I could have them in this house, but it's a rental and not up to us. You are lucky!

blondbat We had that happen about a year ago. Somebody had taken a fair portion of money out and since it was attached to our main checking account they wreaked havoc with our bill-paying abilities for a time. I had to call our landlord to tell them to hold onto our...

blondbat I'd rather be rich than famous, even if that means I'm not as rich lol. I think you are able to do more when you can fly low and avoid radar. I live in Southern California and every time I've seen somebody famous out and about, they don't seem to be able to...

blondbat Most of my online friends will stay online as most of them live too far away and too far apart for me to meet them in person. A few I talk to on the phone, but distance and different time zones make that difficult as well. So I chat w/them and exchange email...

Do you repair your clothes or do you throw them away and buy new ones?

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43910) • Cambridge, England 10 Apr 09

I am talking about simple repairs like sewing on buttons, repairing tears and worn patches, mending pockets, darning socks and so on. My mother would always repair clothes until they were really no longer wearable. Our socks...

blondbat If I can make the repair myself - buttons, simple hems, etc., then I do it myself. If something needs to be altered I will try to get a tailor to do it. Depends on the age and condition of the garment. I have alot of blazers that need linings or pocket linings...

Have anyone ever purchase use tires?

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 15 Mar 09

I have a rear tire that really needs to be replace. My understanding is you need to buy in pairs or possible all four together something about the balancing. The problem is when I called to price two tires the least expensive I...

blondbat I have bought used tires almost exclusively for many cars. Most used tires shops sell are not all that used. The last ones I bought, another motorist had changed out all 4 tires when one went flat and they looked almost brand new. Even used tires come with...

"A Gay-Marriage solution..." What say you?

ladyluna @ladyluna (7004) • United States 17 Mar 09

Hello All, I recently stumbled upon a "Time" story, and it got me thinking. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1885190,00.html If you're all charged up for a debate over "gay marriage", I'm sorry to dissapoint....

blondbat I think alot of the problem people have with this is that "marriage" is an institution, with all the history and religious connotations of centuries of use. Also, most of society is already set up to deal with the default rights one automatically receives when...

blondbat Shopping with my husband is the worst, and a guarantee that I will not find anything that I am looking for. It's kind of an inside joke and it almost always works out that if he goes with me I won't find a thing to buy. We just had this happen this weekend; we...

blondbat Both my hubby and I are registered gun owners and hubby reloads some of his own ammo. But I really don't see the problem in knowing where the ammo for any gun came from. Are they going to take your ammo away - NO! If you have to register a gun, I don't see the...

blondbat California is hosed, which should have been apparent to all when our Governator started hawking shares in the state government. At least they finally passed a budget. I'll bet that California is still in the Top 10 world economies, but these days that isn't...

eshaan @eshaan (6188) • India 1 Jul 07

50 is Just Another Number

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 30 Jun 07

In 30 days I will turn 50 years old. Many people I have spoken to regarding turning 50 have said that it was one of the hardest ages for them to get a grip on. What is age? Why do people dwell on aging and think of it as a downer?...

blondbat Funny enough, 30 was harder than 40, but my life at 30 was much less stable than at 40. It was only shortly after 30 that my life came into a good place and mellowed out. At this rate, 50 would only be a number, a significant number to be sure, but I don't...
