I learned to play the flute when I was 10 years old and played all thru high school and here and there afterward. I haven't played much at all during the last 10 years but a few weeks ago I joined my community band and am really...

gypsylady28 I started playing flute when I was 10 also. But after high school, I sold it and never thought about it again. When I was about 23 I started piano lessons, and have always had a keyboard or piano somewhere in the house. I've always loved music, but flute...

Have you ever had difficult neighbours?

jennybianca @jennybianca (12912) • Australia 17 Sep 07

I used to have a problem with my next door neighbour, when he was in his late teens. He used to do car maintanance late at night, & run the engine full pelt, which is very loud. As my child was very young then, I was concerned...

Are you comfortable working alone?

michecu @michecu (637) • Philippines 17 Sep 07

Are you comfortable working alone? Or do you prefer have people around while your are working? Well, I'm posting this because I, myself, am not very comfortable working with many people around me. I can concentrate better with...

gypsylady28 I can work either way. The only thing that upsets me is if someone makes a mess in my area. So I wouldn't mind working on my own so I didn't have to clean up after others. LOL I get enough of that at home, it gets tiring doing it at work also. But I just stay...

My man shaved his moustache!

vicki2876 @vicki2876 (5636) • Canada 16 Sep 07

Okay doesn't sound like a big deal but in over the last 11 and a half years he has never been without a moustache. This is the first time he has done it since I've known him. (It makes him look 10 years younger) He turned 40 a...

gypsylady28 My hubby turned 40 in July and we already had a few episodes of "mid-life crisis" like behavior. Nothing major though. My husband also wears a moustache, but I do talk him into shaving it off every once in awhile.

Am I the only one here who doesn't have an Ipod?

bumblinbetty31 @bumblinbetty31 (121) • Philippines 3 Sep 07

I'm a little embarrased to admit that I have yet to jump on this bandwagon. I do get red in the face when friends whip out theirs or else ask me about mine. I'm never one to go with fads just to belong, that is until the Ipod came...

gypsylady28 No, your not the only one. I have my pc at home, a cd player in the car, and a cd/cassette player at home. I figure I really don't need an ipod to carry around. And I also feel that they are overpriced. I wouldn't buy one for my kids in fear that they would...

gypsylady28 My son had went to preschool 3 days a week, so it wasn't too hard for him or me when he started Kindergarten. He was all excited and ready to go, but I was a little apprehensive. He seemed so small, and the school was so big. I was worried he would get lost or...

gypsylady28 I have always been partial to Scooby-Do. But I do not have a collection. I've always liked Eeyore also, but I've never been much of a cartoon person. I think watching the cartoons with the kids have done me in.

gypsylady28 I haven't read any studies, but as a parent, I feel that girls mature faster then the boys. The teachers at school tell me that girls usually do very well the first few years of school because they mature faster then the boys. But they also tell me that the...

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 Aug 07

If your boyfriend or husband brought you a bouquet of flowers or gift for no special reason, would you think it was romantic? Or, would you automatically suspect that he was trying to make up for an indiscretion or mistake? Would...

gypsylady28 I think at first I would be so surprised I wouldn't think about it either way. He used to buy me that stuff for no reason, but anymore he doesn't do that. I guess we have been together long enough now that the newness has worn off.

When you go shopping, do you prefer to be with somebody or just alone?

yammydudes @yammydudes (865) • Philippines 8 Aug 07

when I go to shopping, i prefer being alone. The reason is that, I am bothered with the thought that somebody is with me and waiting for me. However, the downside of this is that I have no other person to ask whether what i would...
