ccatherine Most of the DSRL are good for your interest. I think the best are Nikon or Canon (some people prefer Canon others Nikon but it's mainly the same thing). For your wife's drawings I think it'd be a good idea to buy her a graphics tablet, perhaps she could try to...

kalav56 @kalav56 (11464) • India 30 Mar 10

mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15395) • United States 4 Aug 09

For those old old clothes that you won't even look at it and wear it, they are just there in your closet. Do you donate it or sell it or what? I found I have a bunch of old clothes like that that I won't wear it, I think I will...

ccatherine Usually every year I check what I want to keep or not. If the clothes are in good condition (no stains, no holes) I donate them to someone my mother knows. I think it's always nice to help people. If they're not in good condition I usually recycle them by...

ccatherine I don't like to burn candles and I don't like sprays in my house. One thing that you already mentioned it's opening the windows, I don't live in the city so it's great to feel the fresh air coming in and it does the trick. And I also love the clean smell so...

Why do toy makers make creepy toys?

psycospaz @psycospaz (320) • United States 2 Aug 09

I work in toy store and we just got in one of the creepyest toys I have ever seen. It is a boxing Santa Clause pen (I know I know, don't ask why we are getting Christmas stuff in August) And when you push the buttons to make Santa...

ccatherine Maybe it's to scare children. Honestly I don't know but many adults collect toys so probably it's for them (I hope!). And I can't think of any reason to buy a creepy toy.

ccatherine I'd like to know this too! I can't afford new stamps. One thing I could advice you is to trade them! I do this and I love to receive new stamps while I give doubles and others that I'm not very fond away.
