dandj929 When I was little we had two cats (this was back in the 1980's) and we always put flea collars on the cats. The flea collars always worked back then. The way I see it, the fleas have evolved and have become resistant to the chemicals in the flea collars...

Ever said bad things to someone you wish you could take back?

Morbidbabe @Morbidbabe (511) • United States 9 Oct 08

I have several times such as the time I told my mom I hated her and it made me feel so bad when she came into my room later that night crying and asking me if I hated her still.

1 response

dandj929 I too would have to say that when I was a teenager I once told my mom that I hated her. I wish I could take that back, I did not mean it. It must have broken my moms heart to hear that. Now that I am a mom myself I realize exactly how wonderful my own mother...

Anyone ever went on na storm chasing tour?

MZKUMA @MZKUMA (705) • United States 11 Aug 08

I have always wanted to do this, however the site I found weeks ago had the cost of 2 grand. At that rate, I will forever keep surfing for tornado footage on the net. I'm hoping there are tours that are cheaper and would love to...

dandj929 No tornado tour experience here. But I find the storm chasing television programs very intriguing although I don't think I'd intentionally get in the path of a tornado. My step-dad used to drive a tractor trailer across country and has seen some tornadoes...

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 4 Aug 08

When you go camping, do you take technology?
