Fake census forms were out there

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 11 Apr 10

My friend was asked to fill out a census form, which also ask him to fill out his SSN. Is that a legit process of a census form? Because a social security number is kind of a sensitive information, which shouldn't be sent out...

caraleiann There should be warnings about this kind of stuff. Yes, census takers will be asking your age and birth date, but not your social security number or financial information. If someone comes to your door and asks you for this information, you should excuse...

caraleiann Christina, what changed is that you all grew up and developed different interests. Unfortunately it happens to us throughout our lives. I still care about my friends from high school and college, but as we grew up, we went our separate directions. (By the way,...

Would you ever be hypnotized to lose weight or quit smoking?

celticeagle @celticeagle (165954) • Boise, Idaho 17 Nov 09

I have often wondered if these worked and for how long. We have a new hypnotist in the community that advertises for help with weight loss and now I see one about helping with cigarette smoking. I have seen it done in shows and...

caraleiann About six years ago I went to a hypnotist to lose weight. After quitting smoking, I weighed about 210 lbs and had tried almost everything. I spent around $500 for two sessions. She talked to me about changing my diet and exercising and gave me a list of...

When You Really Love a Certain Piece of Music...

Maggiepie @Maggiepie (7816) • United States 16 Nov 09

[b]...how it makes you feel? While Mybotting this morning, I was just listening to my favorite music on the computer, & just now, there was a piece on which, to me, is just heart-breakingly lovely & ethereal. It's...

caraleiann How does music make me feel? Sometimes, especially when I am at church, we will sing a song that just makes me cry. I guess it is because I just “feel” the song. It will resonate within me and remind me of how great God’s love is for me. I can feel both worthy...

Do you know yourself ?

demo22 @demo22 (20) 16 Nov 09

Have you ever wondered who you are ? It is very imperative to do a self analysis to find out what sort of personality you hold. Are you a person who is extrovert ? An introvert ? Shy and timid ? So if you know your strength and...

caraleiann This is a very good question. Do I know myself? It is kind of funny, but I have always thought of myself as being more of an extrovert (cheerleader, Personnel Manager, Cub Master); then, when I went to see a therapist she thought I was an introvert....

I had the chance to talk to my mom yesterday after lunch while were still on the table we've been talking about her life when she was abroad. I told her "I heard a lot of stuff about you when you were away" and asked if it's true...

caraleiann missparanoia, First of all, please don't hold any bad feelings toward your father. Since he is already gone, and you can't discuss your feelings with him, all it will do is cause you pain and tarnish the good memories that you have of him. Realize that, at the...

When is it time to tell a person to shut up?

ljordan @ptty_noel (190) • Uruguay 22 Oct 08

I am a good listener. It is just that I can't stand to here stupidness. For example I have this friend who goes on and on about her life. Now nothing is wrong with that, the problem is her life is one big lie. She lied about her...

caraleiann I have to admit that I am in a similar situation. I have a friend that is constantly telling me lies about things in his life. I think the lies are to compensate for areas where he feels he is lacking and if I confronted him, or told him to shut up, it would...

Cosmetic Surgery

glords @glords (2614) • United States 28 Sep 08

I never believed in cosmetic surgery. I've watched my sister go through procedure after procedure and always thought it was needless and vain, but I'm starting to feel differently. After having an 11 pound baby my body does not...

caraleiann I am one too that thought cosmetic surgery was a sign of vanity, but over the last several months I have lost nearly 50 pounds. As a result, I have a lot of excess skin hanging on my upper arms, thighs, and stomach, and I must admit, it is pretty gross. I have...

Birthday Cakes

glords @glords (2614) • United States 26 Sep 08

Do you make a birthday cake at home or order one from the store? I always feel conflicted because I have no experience decorating cakes, but I feel like buying one kind of takes away the personal touch. It seems like it makes the...

caraleiann I always would bake my own cakes when I could, but sometimes, because I was working two jobs, this was impossible. What I would do is get a cake from the stores bakery, then add my own touches. You don't have to have a lot of experience decorating cakes to...

caraleiann Tessah, I am really sorry for what you are going through. The man I am married to broke my heart 17 years ago, and I have not gotten over it. Mine was a case of adding insult to injury. Although I have stayed with him, I can honestly say that I have not been...

Ever lent Money to your Friend and never got it back.

Rintis @Rintis (646) • India 1 Sep 08

caraleiann Yes. An old friend of mine had just gotten out of prison and, even though I hadn't seen him for many years, I still loved and trusted him very much. Well, he needed some basic survival stuff, like food, clothing, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. which I didn't mind...
