caribe Nothing ruins a good friendship faster than loaning or borrowing money. Try to talk to her and see why she isn't paying you back, but don't be too surprised if she never does. Learn from this an important lesson to never, Never, NEVER, loan money to friends,...

sbeauty @sbeauty (5865) • United States 17 Mar 09

I've read that the Senate has passed a bill allowing social security benefits for illegal immigrants. This doesn't seem right to me. After all, the social security system is already running out of money, and people who have paid...

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 10 Jan 08
