Dress up or down for class

kmdoughert @kmdoughert (85) • United States 28 Nov 07

I'm one of those college studuents who never really cares what they look like when they go to class. I have early classes and usually just opt for the sweatpants or the outfit I threw together in 5 minutes. I notice, however, that...

cherry_pig I wear the same thing I wear shopping, or to the grocery store. Jeans and a shirt. I can't imagine going to class in either pajamas OR heels.

My wife and kids had a surprise for me. After a 44th Birthday dinner, they put me in the shotgun seat of the jeep and blindfolded me. They drove me around Shebgoygan for awhile so I wouldn't figure out what store we were...

Online Clothes Shopping...

daycarepal @daycarepal (1998) • United States 24 Jun 07

Have you ever bought clothes online? If so, what was your experience. I've bought many things online, but never clothes. I'm one of those people that likes to try on my clothes before I buy them. I'm afraid if I ordered clothing...

cherry_pig I've ordered maternity clothes online. One item was a pair of overalls and they were much too long in the crotch. I never returned them and they are still hanging in my closet in the plastic wrapper and I haven't been pregnant in over 2 years. How's that for...

cherry_pig People who don't help out with clean-up when there is a family dinner. You aren't at a restaurant. Take your plate to the sink! Help carry stuff to the kitchen. If everyone pitches in, it's done in no time and then everyone can be relax together instead of one...

cherry_pig Actual speaking, it would be my son because he is a talker. But for who I really spill my guts to the most? My best friend. He knows more about me than anyone ever has. He's always able to give me a different perspective, or set me straight. He's a wonderful...

cherry_pig I had a few pair. I don't remember the colors. I think one set was rainbow striped. Though seriously, if I could find some today I would buy them because my legs get so cold in the winter! That's one fad from the 80s that I won't mind the return of!

Drinking Soda

jillhill @jillhill (37354) • United States 23 Jun 07

How do you like to drink your soda? I love mine poured into a glass with lots of ice in it. I also like to sip it out of a straw. If I have to drink out of a can, my lips sometimes breaks out from contact with the can. I don't...

cherry_pig I prefer ice cold cans, or from a soda fountain with no ice. Oh actually my favorite way is to put it in the freezer and then take it out when it gets just a tiny bit slushy! YUM!

Do you think 31 or 32 is too old to become a teacher?

pooh1623 @pooh1623 (192) • United States 22 Jun 07

I am thinking of changing my career and might become a teacher, but I know that teachers usually start young so do you think that being 31 or 32 is too old to become a teacher, what are your thoughts?

7 responses

cherry_pig You are still very young! So many people think that you can't chose a career past your 20s. Not only will you most likely make a better student (more focused on your goal instead of parties and dating) but you will will probably make a more patient teacher. I...

2 Years Without TV! (Cable or Antenna).

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 22 Jun 07

2 years ago, my family and I had to make a financial choice. Keep the DSL or the Cable TV. We chose to keep DSL. I was the one who balked the most. I have been a devotee of TV trivia research since the early 70s. Yes, I was the...

cherry_pig If I had to chose between DSL and Cable I would chose DSL too. But I definitely would miss TV. Although these days you can watch so many programs online and like you said you can buy the TV series in dvd sets. I think what I would miss the most are stations...

When you wake up too early do you go back to sleep?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 19 Jun 07

This very seldom happens to me and I really hate when it does. If I wake up before 7am that's way too early for me to start my day yet I don't fall back to sleep easily. I usually spend more time thinking about what I should do...

Candy cigarettes lead to smoking real cigarettes?

jnallen_487 @jnallen_487 (800) • United States 19 Jun 07

I just read an article about this. They say that kids who play with candy cigarettes will more likely grow up to smoke than kids who don't. I think they are pretty much trying to blame anything and everything they can for people...

cherry_pig I agree that you should confront her to get her side of the story. That being said, I've had "friends" like that. Some people are emotionally handicapped and just don't know how to be a functioning human. I think I've gotten pretty good at recognizing those...
