Do you ever feel like having a day where you can relax and mentally loose?

princessdian @princessdian (506) • United States 15 Jul 08

I would love to have a day where I'm crazy and do anything I want and break things until the stress melted away. It would make me feel so free. Is that really strange to want something like that?

forsan I'd say we all need an escape every so often. Even if a whole day isn't possible a few hours doing something that feels good works wonders. I 'd rather have a spa day or a day out walking without worrying about the time but everyone's different.

Why do people pay more on eBay?

rowantree @rowantree (1186) • United States 13 Jul 08

I've noticed this before, but recent events have really got me irked enough to mention it here now. Why do people pay more for an item on eBay than they'd pay for it in a store? For example, Mario Kart Wii is $50. A Nintendo...
