What is it about celebrity deaths?

fwidman @fwidman (11514) • United States 14 Jul 09

Why is it that folks can't seem to get over them and move on? I'm still seeing discussions about Michael Jackson and his memorial. No, I still do not understand why the city of L.A. should be footing the bill for that memorial...

craftcatcher I don't quite get it either. I understand that some people admire other people with talent, so do I. But I have never seen the necessity to hound these people with cameras and badger them with personal questions and print every detail of their private life...

what to give to a queen?

the_dutchess @the_dutchess (2610) • Philippines 2 Apr 09

I read all this news about Pres. Obama gave Queen Elizabeth II an iPod and some people reacted that it's inappropriate. That makes me wondered what's to give to someone who has almost everything and could afford anything. I was...

craftcatcher I've read that some people think it was an inappropriate gift. I don't understand why? It was personalized and came pre-loaded with video of her visit to Washington in 2007 which, I think, makes it a great momento. The Queen knows how to use an iPod since she...

craftcatcher I used to make homemade pancakes all the time. I always thought they tasted better than the boxed mix kind. They were always a little too salty for me. Mine are less salty and fluffier! A mouthful of baking powder is a definite yuck! LOL
