The Amazing Race.. Rob and Amber in first place again.. What did you think of Sunday night's show? It didn't surprise me when Rob and Amber came in first place for the second time. I still think that they are the team to beat....

freeepeace Rob and Amber need to be there - even just for the sake of competition. People really want to beat them. It's great for the ratings. The more they win, the more tension is built and the more entertaining things get. Conflict is great for ratings. I love...

freeepeace Hey - I'm a dog walker and trainer AND I have a Yorkie sitting right here beside me. First, be sure you are ready to be a doggy-parent before you make any decisions to adopt or buy your puppy. This is a life-long commitment. You're dealing with a live...

Help Me!!! I lost my friend today.

Giggles88 @Giggles88 (542) • United States 1 Mar 07

While I was in the middle of working I found out that one of my best friends died this morning. I completely devestated. I don't know what to do. I'm so upset about it. I loved her so much. She was so sweet. Why would she decide...

freeepeace Oooh, I'm sorry for your loss. This is a blow to the system, I imagine. Let the memories flow. Write it out. Talk it out. Cry. Scream. Whatever you need in your process. (please don't physically hurt yourself or others) My highest recommendation would be...

Cats! Indoor, outside or both?

Bee1955 @Bee1955 (3882) • United States 1 Mar 07

I keep my cats inside all the time. I dont mind cleaning litter as long as I know mine are safe and not eaten, run over by a vehicle or worse. I would be a nervous wreck if one was missing! What are your views?

5 responses

freeepeace Both for our family. It works where we live. She's a scaredy-cat so she won't go too far for too long. Strangely, she only uses her litter box (indoors). She's young. I just don't think she's figured out that she could use the great outdoors known as our...

freeepeace Not even close. I'm 3000 miles away. Was born and raised on the east coast and left the nest 15 years ago for the west coast. Where did you move around to before you went back?

I love my pc but I'd rather have a laptop?

blueskies @blueskies (1186) • United States 27 Feb 07

I'm so torn over this. I love my pc. I like that it is in it's place on the desk in the corner of the dining room. I like the way the keyboard feels under my fingertips. All of my important pictures and information are stored in...

freeepeace I love my laptop! Mobility, portability, convenience. I can be on the couch, at Starbucks, the library or in a hotel and everything -- all of my favorites, my settings, etc., are right there with me. I can even hook it up to a larger monitor, a keyboard and...

This would be soooo hard...

Stephanie5 @Stephanie5 (2946) • United States 27 Feb 07

freeepeace Oh man, someone would sure have some explaining to do. Imagine the years of heartache, of letting go, of denial, of anger, of bartering and finally acceptance. Just to have it all be a lie. I suppose it could be a blessing. Sounds like the setup in the...

Trouble with my daughter's boyfriend (lather, rinse, repeat!)

thinkingoutloud @thinkingoutloud (6127) • Canada 25 Feb 07

For a variety of reasons, my 16 year old daughter has a 20-minute limit each day when speaking to her boyfriend on our home phone. I recently discovered that, in order to get around that limit, he started sending text messages to...

freeepeace Tough situation. I'd say you handled it well. I've read many of the other responses. I agree there is a fine line here. Understandably you need to set boundaries but you risk alienating your daughter. Sixteen is a tough age (for all involved). Perhaps you...

Electric or Acoustic guitar?

matt608 @matt608 (843) 20 Dec 06

I play both, and I like listening to both. It just depends on my mood as to which I want to listen to or play, which to you prefer?

8 responses

freeepeace Hey Matt! Nothing like the sound of a full acoustic guitar. Takamine or Taylor (of course). I've been playing most of my life. Never really got into playing electric. But I love the sound of Eric Johnson (cliffs of Dover). Still, I'm a sucker for an...

I Am Overcome With Guilt For Something I Did Today-What Would You Have Done?

kitchenwitchoftupper @kitchenwitchoftupper (2290) • United States 19 Feb 07

As I have stated many times, I do NOT give negative ratings to anyone. To me this is not a fair thing to do. If someone disagrees with me on something I have posted, they will get a positive rating - that to me is what the MyLot...

freeepeace Wow, seems you have a lot of support here. I hope by now you can see guilt is a wasted emotion. Perhaps the feeling of empowerment or honor. How about feeling good about taking a stance on something so close to your heart. I'm a newbie here, so I don't know...

Complaining about payment!

XxAngelxX @XxAngelxX (2830) • Canada 20 Feb 07

freeepeace Thanks for the tips. I'm a newbie here. I'm noticing an income of less-than 20cents a day. Not bad for participating in a community of like-minded folks. For me, the cash is a bonus. I'm shooting for a free vanilla latte at the end of my first month. Seems...

Should they allow previous winners in the allstar version of The Amazing Race?

JJLoa44 @JJLoa44 (346) • Canada 5 Feb 07

There's one team in the allstar version that has won the race before. And I really like the team. One of my favourites to be in the allstars However, I'm wondering - is it really fair to let those who have won already...

freeepeace I think all-stars should be either/or. Meaning either ALL winners from previous shows OR faves who did not win. That would make it more equal. If they all have $1m then the fight is for the 2nd Mil. If they all "just missed" getting a grand their first time...
