Mother of Bomber Suspect on Terror list!

lelin1123 @lelin1123 (15595) • Puerto Rico 27 Apr 13

So the mom of the bombing suspect has also been on the terror watch list since 2011 due to becoming more militant in her thinking. She also has legal problems stemming from an outstanding warrant for shoplifting in the US. She...

carolbee Does anyone know why she was put on the watch list? What infuriates me is the fact she thought the US put red paint on the ground as though it was staged. She knows more than she is admitting. She already abused the US by coming here and shoplifting. Anyone...

carolbee I heard on the news the weather in your area wasn't so nice. Did it melt yet or still cold? We had tornadoes come through our area last Wed. evening. Had all of us concerned enough to get to the basement and seek shelter. It actually touched down about 10...

I feel like the queen of procrastination!

jillhill @jillhill (37354) • United States 8 Apr 13

Do You Still Have Cable TV?

elmiko @elmiko (6630) • United States 8 Apr 13

I can see why so many would ditch cable with access to video at a more affordable price now. Are you one of those people? I've been thinking about getting rid of cable myself. I personally think the cable companies did it to...

carolbee Yep, we still have cable. It's expensive to have the full package but we feel it's worth it. I'm retired so always have a television on while I am awake, asleep or doing something on the computer. My husband is rarely home so it does keep me company when here...

Overweight people should pay more???

bluebutterfly20 @bluebutterfly20 (462) • United States 3 Apr 13

So I saw in CNN post in facebook that the next step is the "pay as you weigh" in airlines. Meaning those people who are overweight will pay more. Really? Yes, we do pay more if we have heavy items but a PERSON is not an item....

heavy

overweight

pay more

carolbee I think this idea is wrong. Just doesn't seem fair and singles out the overweight passengers who like to fly, visit other states or countries or enjoy a nice vacation. I am not overweight so this wouldn't apply to me but it makes me feel bad to think the...

carolbee I haven't been to Dairy Queen in a very long time. Love their ice cream. It's always been my favorite. Like their hot fudge sundae and sometimes even a vanilla cone. Haven't tried a blizzard yet but heard they are very good. Enjoy your treat.

carolbee It's a good site. I earned quite a bit from writing articles. However, I had an issue with Adsense who places ads on or around your articles. This is how we earn. When readers click on the ads provided by Adsense, we earn. A few readers decided to take upon...

Getting paid to take surveys

MissBlack @MissBlack (356) • United States 25 Mar 13

In pursuit of some extra money, I even went as far as joining a few of those sites where they pay you to take surveys. My problem with this is while I seem to be doing okay some of the time, it seems like I am at a stand-still...

carolbee I have never had any luck with online survey sites. I never qualify and think it's because of my age. So I go through all the premininary questions and pretty much waste my time. I do have other sites I work on that gives me some extra cash. Sure can't make a...

Do you like Elvis?

internaty @internaty (257) • Chile 16 Mar 13

I like Elvis since I was 9 years old, and I have even dreamed of him. He was so goodloocking and such a charming man. I wish to have met him in person, and to have gone to one of his concerts.

carolbee Terrific. Congratulations. Good to hear you did well at the craft sale. Weather is a big key in outside sales. We all know what happens if it's ugly out! I can't crochet but can knit. Haven't see a rag rug but have heard all about them. Sounds like an...

carolbee Nothing much worked for me. I was younger than 14 and am now much older. So far have been fine and no issues as a result. I tried several things and think Chantix would have worked well but it made me sick. Similar to morning sickness as I experienced with...
