JohnnyMurder @JohnnyMurder (611) • United States 17 May 07

flipper0 You are cracking me up!!! I used to have a recurring nightmare (the only recurring one I've ever had) about a clown with really long skinny arms and legs and a smiling face that terrified me somehow, that floated into my room from my parents room that was...

Where were you when the planes hit the WTC on 9/11?

dimplesnlaughs @dimplesnlaughs (835) • United States 17 May 07

I will never forget where I was when I found out about that devasting news. I was on the 8th floor of my dorm getting onto the elevator. There was a guy already in the elevator. I'm not the type to talk to strangers on the...

flipper0 I was at work and got an emailed alert of an explosion at the WTC. I work for my state's environmental agency, so get alerts regularly. Usually, the subject doesn't pertain to my work so I blow it off, but for some reason I opened this one and by that time the...

flipper0 Very fun post! I did great until 7 swans-a-swimming. I remember ladies dancing and lords-a-leaping and drummers drumming, but have no idea right now where they fall in the order. I can't even think of the two missing groups! I guess my age is showing. Good...

Do you sell your crafts with labels?

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 17 May 07

Do you think selling your items with labels, tags increase your sales or are they not necessary. My girlfriend states consumers are so accustomed to labels on everything that they see having tags as similar to a designer label and...

flipper0 I don't create any clothing, so don't have occasion to use sew-in labels at all. However, I've been making beaded jewelry for years and selling it whenever and wherever the spirit moves me. Originally, I (cleverly, I thought) bound the items with raffia or...

flipper0 rylan is precious! it's totally safe to "swaddle" your infant. if it's chilly in the house, you can wrap the baby just like they wrapped him in the hospital (swaddling, like the baby Jesus in the Christmas stories). all you have to pay attention to is if the...

Word or Language snobbery?

okn0tok @okn0tok (569) • United States 1 May 07

I have been accused of being a language snob most of my life. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT A SECOND LANGUAGE. I would never pick on someone learning a new language! Do you think that people who are born and raised speaking a language...

flipper0 I used to be accused of language snobbery all the time. I just love words, and always loved using proper language and sentence structure. I lived all over, and never REALLY had a problem just laughing it off until I moved to the southern United States. Sheesh!...

Who was the last person you hugged?

Swtrose @Swtrose (3385) • Canada 30 Apr 07

Hugs are often needed. A study found that women benefit more from a hug than men do. I don't know if this is true, but I love hugging. Who was the last person you hugged?

flipper0 The last person I hugged was my 18 year old son. I'm so glad you asked this question, because I've been so excited to tell this to someone, but it seemed to sound so odd... This was the first unsolicited hug I've gotten from him in many months. I mean, the...

What is the best way to easily get rid that hot-spicy sensation in our mouth?

myempress @myempress (185) • Philippines 27 Apr 07

Ice? Water? Cold Rice? Sugar? As far as i know, milk is an alternative. Full fat milk (or at least 2%) - is an excellent wash-off of the spice. It works because spice is lipsoluble(it means it is soluble in fat, not in water),...
