dan_71 Unfortunately asbestos is still all around us. It was an incredibly popular insulation material in the 60s/70s before it was banned. I was told that developers were given notice that asbestos was going to be banned, so they used as much of it as possible...

New Medication! Doctor Prescribes New Medication, Do You Check Side Effects??

artistry @artistry (4151) • United States 3 May 10

If you are given a new medication by your doctor, do you read or check to see what the side effects might be? There are ads on television, which detail the most horrible side effects for some medications. It is hard to believe...

dan_71 For legal reasons, manufacturers will put every concievable side effect on the bottle, no matter how remote the possibility may be. If there is a .008% chance of sudden death, they will likely put "sudden death" as a side effect on the bottle. While many side...

What is a deductible?

roxxtime @roxxtime (299) • United States 10 May 10

I went to the doctors and they said I have met my deductible. What does that mean for me? I have tried to read on the subject but noone has been able to dumb it down enough for me. What is a deductible for when it comes to...

dan_71 Many insurances have a "deductible" that you must pay towards your costs. For example: My insurance has a deductible of up to $100.00 per year that I must meet for diagnostic exams. This means if I go to my doctors and have an EKG, and the EKG costs $98.00,...

What was the very FIRST job you ever had for a Paycheck?

Tallygirl09 @Tallygirl09 (1380) • United States 12 May 10

Many of us start working young and I started babysitting around 11. My very first job that I got an official paycheck for was working as a library aide in the children's department for our town library. I was 13 so could only work...

dan_71 I too had my first job as a library page. I always thought it was ironic that my job title was "page". I worked 3 or 5 hour shifts, typically after school. The job wasn't bad, but it always irked me that I was not allowed to read a book when things were slow....

dan_71 I have found sugar free gum to be an amazing "quick fix" for me when I want a snack. I typically end up craving something sweet, which is only going to pack on the pounds. I usually pop in 1 or 2 pieces of fruity sugar-free gum, and I find that it totally...

Xbox 360 COD MWF

camillefetish101 @camillefetish101 (140) • United States 12 May 10

I hate this game. I want to just break that console apart, the worst console and game ever made that interferes. My guy ALWAYS plays it and its so annoying. Who is with me? He don't hear nothing and he won't sleep unless he's the...

dan_71 I enjoy COD MWF on the 360 and play it often. It continually amazes me how much time people devote to this game. I don't typically do well when playing because I am simply not as good as many of the other people. I am unwilling to devote hours per day/night to...

Piano Lovers

Anthony8228 @Anthony8228 (6) • United States 12 May 10

Who here plays Piano? Well, i play piano. I just want to know who plays piano and what music they play. And i also want to ask how many years have you been playing piano with or without a teacher.

dan_71 I play the piano, but unforutunately I don't practice much anymore. When I lived with my parents I played often, and even took lessons as one point. These days I only play when I visit my parents. It's funny how your hands remember, even if your mind forgets....

Are you an ecletic reader?

chulce @chulce (1537) • United States 12 May 10

dan_71 I love horror novels. I have unfortunately found that I am quite picky when it comes to this genre, and so I have a hard time finding books that catch my interest. I have devoured all Stephen King novels, and he remains my favorite author to date. I find that...
