jenseyedea @jenseyedea (579) • United States 18 Nov 07

Okay..I have my reasons for asking. I just wondered what everyone thinks the time should be a couple should wait before they move in together. Or do you think the couple needs to be married first? Would it be different if there...

carlajean42 I think that there is a certain amount of information to be learned by living with someone before being married. It is a good way to observe their personal habits, talk about money by sharing the bills for a shared residence, and how other daily things work...

Does weather affect your moods?

Raymo23 @Raymo23 (463) • Uganda 18 Nov 07

It's very cold and rainy right now-and this has coincided with a dip in confidence and happiness for me. It is not the first time it is happening-I tend to 'switch off' during such times, and my worst day ever in life was last...

carlajean42 I used to live in Central New York, where the weather patterns are very static. In other words, if it rains, it is very likely it will be raining tomorrow. I have literally gone through months where I've seen the sun maybe once. This isn't exaggeration....

Do you have to be rich to be happy?

Brezoles @Brezoles (65) • Australia 5 Oct 07

do you have to be rich to happy? does money win love??????????

money

1 response

carlajean42 I, personally, believe sort of the opposite. I think that money is less important than being truly happy in your career, life, and ability to make a difference on the planet. I'd rather have a job where I can exist comfortably, but not extravagantly and love...

carlajean42 The website that lists a bunch is called "kissthisguy.com" because one of the most common misheard lyrics is from Jimmy Hendrick's Purple Haze, the line is "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" which is sung by most people as "Excuse me while I kiss this guy!"

What are your favourite Tori Amos songs and why?

sakana @sakana (260) • Singapore 16 Jun 07

I like the piano-centric songs with light melodies like Father Lucifer and Wednesday, as well as the more upbeat ones like Raspberry Swirl because I don't really pay attention to lyrics :P What about you?

What makes this show so good?

icecoldfire @icecoldfire (1) • United States 19 Jun 07

I don't know why, but this is probably my favorite show. It's something about the way Steven acts. Not only does he keep you up to date, but he provides a lot of comic relief, what makes you watch his show?
