I can't believe it. After 14 years it is rumored that New Kids on the Block are reuniting. I have to admit they were my favorite group back in the 80's. I had a major crush on Joey McIntyre. Anyways, whether this rumor is true or...

castratton I just saw this article and was going to post a discussion but see that you beat me to it. I can't believe they are actually going to put out new songs. And because of how popular they were once upon a time I'm sure they will sell millions of dollars worth...

castratton I'm a Birch tree and a Capricorn. Some of the traits sound similar. I kind of like how each "tree" is broken up into the first two weeks and the second two weeks. I often think that a whole months worth of people with the same description can't really be...

Sandals. Are socks cool?

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 7 Apr 08

Here in the UK we are fast approaching those days where we get out our Summer clothing and pretend that it is warm enough to wear them. I am the sort of chap that likes to get the air to his feet. I tend to wear sandals from late...

castratton With sandals definitely NO socks. I really hate when I see people wearing socks with sandals, its just not natural. I myself do not enjoy socks but wear them when I have to. But I have never worn them with sandals. If you need socks to keep your feet warm then...

castratton I'm a teacher and a Mom. I would safely assume that teacher is not a Mom, because if she had to be on the other side of things in education she would have never treated you that way. That being said, that is not an excuse for her comments and behavior. As a...

castratton I met my husband online but it was not on a dating site, and I really think that is the key. People go to those sites and ad a profile knowing your looking for some kind of relationship. If you meet them somewhere thats not focused on dating its different. Its...
