Playing The Racist Card...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 18 Nov 08

Lately I’ve seen a lot of ppl calling other ppl racists. I’ve been called one more times than I can shake a stick at and it seems to have gotten worse since the election. It’s like anyone that doesn’t support 0bama is...

BlueStarMom1 It seems that only whites are called racists. Personally, I think Oprah is one of the biggest ones I have seen. I am so afraid that with the election of Obama this country had added a civil war to our woes. It irritates me to see the race issue at all....

jillhill @jillhill (37354) • United States 2 Aug 08

BlueStarMom1 Crunch and Munch. It just seems alittle richer then Fiddle Faddle. It reminds me of old fashion carmel corn. I think it is a little more buttery and like I said just has a richer taste.

Regular nail polish or fast drying?

jillhill @jillhill (37354) • United States 7 Jan 08

I use the fast drying like Express Finish from Maybelline. I don't like to have to wait a half a day to have the polish dry. Which do you prefer? Do you think the regular is longer lasting or about the same as the express finish?

BlueStarMom1 Definitely fast drying. Like you said, I just don't have time to sit and blow on them for an hour. I don't polish mine a lot any more and that is one of the reasons. The other main reason is that my hands are in water so much with cleaning and such It just...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 26 May 07

Curiosity has gotten the better of me. How much clutter do you have? Can you fill a 6'x6' room, a single car garage, a two story barn or should you just have your own football field? By clutter, I am referring to things that...
