List or go on your own?

Jennlk84 @Jennlk84 (4205) • United States 9 Nov 09

butterflytears It depends on the person, I prefer to just let the people get me what they want to get me because I don't want to make them feel bad if they can't afford what I am asking for. I prefer to be told what a person wants, especially picky people that are hard to...

Do you eat chocolate or Ice cream when you get upset?

smileonstar @smileonstar (4007) • United States 9 Nov 09

I know this might be sound wired to some people but as far as I see here in the States... most people will eat Ice Cream when they get up set, and I dont know why? For me, If I am upset then I will not feel any hungry at all......

butterflytears It usually depends on why I am upset, but it can vary from eating icecream like there was no tomorrow, or beating the heck out of my punching bag for an hour.

snowcat46 @snowcat46 (2322) • United States 20 Jan 09

butterflytears I'd probably choose the hunter and the farmer put together. it's not only that the hunter can provide food for the table, but that a hunter will go out and make the effort, he'll do what needs to be done to ensure that his family is well provided for. The...

Which do you prefer, blogging or article writing?

Heartbreaker08 @Heartbreaker08 (684) 20 Jan 09

I have several blogs and I write for a few sites also. I personally enjoy my blog sites the best as I think it is easier to write a blog post than an article. Perhaps this is because blog posts can be short and witty whereas for...

butterflytears It depends on the topic I'm writing about. I find that with articles you basically have to sneak or incinuate what your opinion is because some site won't pay you for your opinion. I love to speak my mind and mylot lets you do that.

A Year Without Music or Movies? Hmmm

miraclefreebies @miraclefreebies (3043) • United States 21 Jan 09

butterflytears I prefer books over movies anyways so I'd say that I'd rather go a year without movies. Music really gets me moving and inspired (depending upon the lyrics of course) so I couldn't last a whold year without it, I can barely go a week.

It is winters here and it is simply chilling. I enjoy my sleep and bedding a lot these days and seldom go out from my home premises. I have always felt that sleeping is the most enjoyable activity in winters.

butterflytears I agree that cash seems to be the best policy, especially when there are so many scams and threats of identity theft out there nowadays. People are so quick to give out credit information online and that's part of what gets so many into trouble.
