In Hillary's hands - or not?

coffeebreak @coffeebreak (17798) • United States 4 Feb 08

In watching a news show, it came to my mind - with all these third world countries and other countries that are male "dominated" and where women dont have rights, can't vote, can't even show their faces in public and are half the...

caroliewrites That's an interesting and poignant question Coffebreak. Will the third world male dominated countries deal with Hillary? Did they with Margret Thatcher? Interesting.

Holy cow is all I can say. The Monte Carlo Casino in Las Vegas is on fire. It's on MSNBC right now. The thick, black smoke is pouring from the top rooms. It's a 32 story casino with something like 3,000 rooms. Our daughter and...

caroliewrites Hi Carol, We live in Las Vegas, and the thing that scared most here was the remembering of the MGM Hotel fire in the eighties; eighty people were killed. But Las Vegas has changed a lot since then, and along with enormous amount of growth, both on the Strip...

caroliewrites Hi cindy, If you already have beautiful hair why not leave it alone? I understand being bored and wanting a new look, but be very careful, especially because your hair is so dark. My suggestion; go to a professional.

caroliewrites Hi Carol, We live in the Northwest and have lots of racoons. Although they are cute and amazing to watch, be very careful as they can be vicious. A very large racoon attacked our large dog last year and did a lot of damage. Be careful.

Dress code under Indian culture.

subathra @subathra (3519) • India 17 Jan 08

It is improper to ask what sort of dress code to be used when attending a public function. This is not an easy question to answer. If it is a birthday party or a dancing floor a dress code could be suggested. When a big function...

caroliewrites It makes no sense to me either calicot. Although I grew up in the sixties I never used marijuana or any other drugs, that said however, I think it's absurd that marijuana is not legalized. And we all know why it's not don't we? The government hasn't figured...
