breepeace I thought "Up" was very cute if you enjoy animated movies. It was also the first Pixar movie filmed in Disney Digital 3D. I also really enjoyed "The International" with Clive Owen and Naomi Watts.

breepeace My vote is probably going to go to the Italians. Followed a close second by the Irish. Italians for their 'bedtime manner' and amorous ways and the Irish for pure stamina and enthusiasm. LOL

Bluepatch @Bluepatch (2476) • Trinidad And Tobago 25 Aug 08

Have you seen people put out cigarettes when there's no ashtray ? Where do they out them ? Have you noticed this ?

breepeace I'm assuming you mean when you're inside a house as opposed to standing outdoors where you could put them out on the ground? I don't smoke inside my house, but when I used to I put them out in a toilet or a sink. Failing that, using an aluminum can or glass...

How many cigarettes a day do you smoke or have you smoked ?

Bluepatch @Bluepatch (2476) • Trinidad And Tobago 25 Sep 09

I have a friend who used to smoke 80 cigarettes a day and then stopped all at once. He is past 70 years of age and says he is still living because he stopped the smoking. I smoke about fifty or sixty cigarettes a day now and I'm...

breepeace I think I maybe smoke around 15 a day. Sometimes more and sometimes less depending on the circumstances -- if I'm busy I smoke far less, and if I'm bored at home I might go out for a smoke every hour or so. On roadtrips I can easily smoke a pack plus.

What do you snack on at work?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 4 Oct 09

I'm curious to know about some healthy ideas of "snacking" while at work. It has to be convenient, and healthy is definitely a plus. I usually eat saltine crackers while at work for my evening shift, but lately I haven't really...

breepeace Wine gums and jellybeans, but that's not helpful for you at all! :) We have a candy dish at work and it's absolutely awful for my waistline (or anyone's!) but you try resisting walking by that 50 times a day when it's filled full of goodies. :P Anyway,...

Do you get to pick when your break is?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 4 Oct 09

Legally, if you work more than a certain number of consequetive hours, you are supposed to get a paid 15 minute break (or longer). Do you? I recently started a new job where they automatically give us our "breaks" at the end...

breepeace No, and that seems really bizarre! Wouldn't be so bad if they gave you your break and you could just take off 15 minutes early everyday, but would still kind of defeat the purpose of having a break, which as you said is taking a BREAK halfway through the...

To Those Who Love the High Heeled Shoe...

juwujaren @juwujaren (25) • United States 5 Oct 09

What is it that makes them so alluring? They aren't versatile, they hurt my feet, they pinch my toes, the heels wear down and it bothers my ankles, but I still keep putting them back on and enduring more of this pain. Why do so...

breepeace Heels just have a way of making every woman's legs look long, lean, sexy and toned. They're stylish, so a pair of heels can really dress up an outfit. They come in so many different varieties, and can be so attractive, that it's hard not to pick them up and...

breepeace I only use powder on my face, and only one specific kind which is MAC Studio Fix. It's lightweight, but covers like a foundation and doesn't cause breakouts. The only problem is that it costs about $30 Canadian, and since you can only purchase it from MAC...

Would you vacation in a country where you don't know the language?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 4 Oct 09

This question is purely hypothetical. When trying to plan out a legitimate spring break plan, I decided that I might not want to go to countries where I don't know the language (such as Mexico), just because I'd be afraid that...

breepeace It's more fun that way! :) Actually, in reality even if you go to a country where they don't speak English as their first language, people who speak English can generally be found in more touristy areas. I got a phrasebook so I could be a little more self...

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure @RawBill1 (8531) • Gold Coast, Australia 8 Aug 09

Well, it happened. Hubby darling hasn't been paying the mortgage. I just found out about this last Friday. I found out we owe over $14,000.00 in arrears. Hubby acts like it's nothing. "I'll take care of it" is how he put it. How...

breepeace That's a pretty scary position for you to be in, and I can't imagine what would have possessed him to think this was ok. I do have to say though that it sounds like you're a woman with a plan, and you seem pretty calm and rational about what you need to do....

Do you talk on the phone while grocery shopping?

careguarden @careguarden (5670) • Philippines 2 Oct 09

An airline that prefers no luggage

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 1 Oct 09

I know an airline that prefers hand luggage only. If passengers bring luggage they are allowed one bag of 15kg or up to three bags of up to 5kg each. That luggage costs loads. What costs even more is a travel cot as I found out...

What's your favorite kind of noodle?

LaurenK @LaurenK (6) • United States 27 Sep 09

I just made spaghetti wiith ziti noodles for dinner tonight. I really like angel hair for spaghetti though. What noodle is your favorite and why? Elbows? Bowties? Penne? Fettucine?

noodles

pasta

6 responses

breepeace I like penne just because of it's versatility. It's a robust enough noodle to go with a heavy meat sauce and the ends work beautifully to scoop up the solids, but it's also a great pasta for cream based sauces because it holds them in it's hollow centres....
