cripfemme I'm happy for you! As a fellow author, I know how hard it is to compile a manuscript and get it noticed. Wait to go.

cripfemme I like it for all the reasons you said, plus it found me people I thought where lost from me forever. I get a kick out of seeing how people are connected- same birthday, same field, same location or so on. However, they don't know each other. I'm thrilled to...

cripfemme I don't drive but people tell me it has gone up. This is why I'm glad I use mass transit instead of driving and using petrol that is hard to afford, but I will feel the increase in the price increase of food cost another items I need to buy.

Is everything expensive today?

TrinityDownpour @TrinityDownpour (790) • Liechtenstein 16 Mar 13

You can still find some cheap pastries under a dollar or only a few dollars in Malaysia. But last time a bowl of noodles used to cost 20-50 cents and now a bowl of noodles cost like RM4-6. What about your country? Do you find food...

cripfemme In America, there are things like McDonald's or candy. There are discount groceries, but I don't go to them much because I prefer to eat organic as I'm more concerned about my insides with pesticides and God knows what than the amount in my wallet.

cripfemme I am a total tom boy. No make up, no pink, no manicures, no dresses (I even gave all of them away a few years ago). I'm ultra low maintenance and like that way. My ultrs femme friends don't understand, but I am who I am.

How Often Do You Go Out To Eat?

singlemommy @singlemommy (2955) • United States 12 Mar 13

I used to not go out to eat much, but in recent months I moved in with my parents and now I don't have the freedom to cook what I want to cook when I want to cook it, so I started eating out more. Plus, I work at a fast food...

cripfemme I eat out at least once a week. I'm a freelancer, so I cover events, which makes home eating difficult. It's either run home/eat/go out again and pay extra transit fare or stay there and eat out. I usually just stay. It's simply easier.

Golden Girls

belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 6 Mar 13

Even though it's long over, and all but one cast member deceased, I still like to watch Golden Girls reruns. It was one of the first comedies to cover the aging female Baby Boomer population, I think. Each episode covered some...

cripfemme I love that show. I watch it all the time, even though I was a kid/early teen when it first came out. My mom and I used to watch it together. It was our "girl time." As I got older, the Girls helped me to decompress from studying, deal with illness, and...

cripfemme I am mostly a poet and columnist, but I like long fiction, too; mostly young adult and scci-fi. My problem with long fiction is I run out of steam/ideas/motivation half way (or not even) through them.

cripfemme It depends on who it is. I can't imagine tolerating a houseguest for more than 2 weeks, unless it was an emergency. My mom and I love each other, of course, but we have an eight day limit on cohabiting. Everyone thinks we're kidding but trust me, we...

cripfemme As a health educator and low income person, I can KIND OF see a point, fast food is cheap, filling, and bad for you. The last thing a homeless person needs is to get an obesity-related illness on top of whatever else is going badly in their lives. However, if...

cripfemme I have this rule, too. Unless you use those electric ones, which don't smell, you better not do it. I have too many breathing problems to screw around with. I would give anyone who broke that rule in my house Hell and hope you do, too!

How do you pick the books that you read?

Porcospino @Porcospino (31366) • Denmark 25 Feb 13

cripfemme I sometimes go through a topic. Once was neanderthals, one was Nazis. Or I'll get into an author and read all of their stuff. Friends will also recommend books to me or I'll just go pour over the shelves until I find something appealing. Sad to say I judge...

cripfemme I do that with my nieces and nephews ll the time, even when I don't have money to do this. I'm working on not doing that, as much. When I have kids I expect it will be the same.

Does Freewill Really Exist?

shiningstar1 @shiningstar1 (94) 3 Feb 13

cripfemme My housemate and I talk about this all the time. In my opinion, we each make choices based on experience/desire/the person we want to be, are, or were (which of those three that make the decision depends on mood/situation mostly).

cripfemme I totally agree. Activity and purpose elevate mood, because you are doing something other than going "poor me" hour after hour which helps no one, least of all, you. Read a book, phone a friend, do something that makes you happy. It won't make everything 100%...

A Good Enough Life

lloydbelleza @lloydbelleza (1227) • Philippines 19 Feb 13

A good enough life. What does it really mean to have a good enough life? Is it having a big house, a car, a high-paid job, and getting on a trip with your wife every once in a while? Could it be being a broadway actor, the...

cripfemme I think it means having a job you like, having a spouse, some kids, and an opportunity to give back. As long as you have enough money to get by, money is not that vital.

cripfemme I hold hands with people without it being romantic at times. My gf does, too. We're very affectionate people. Even if I thought something untoward was happening, I wouldn't go publicly postal. No person is worth losing your cool in public and risking...
