When I see a guy (homeless) asking for money on a street corner, I try to judge whether or not they're sincere and 9 times out of 10,I give them a couple of bucks. What do you do or think?

Today I was substitute for a 3rd grade class and I loved it. It was fun and the kids were great! It wasn't at a public school so the class is very small. Although I have been quite involved with my children's schools I have only...

independent_inAK Wow, that sounds very interesting. I am thinking about different options. I don't know if I would be able to do the college it takes either. I'm a full time mom. I've known of other mom's that have done it and I admire them. If I taught I would teach in a...

independent_inAK I would rather drive than watch it. After a while it gets boring. I prefer the 1/4 mile(I've taken my car to the strip) but as long as I'm going fast it doesn't really matter. It would be awesome to get to drive NASCAR.

I was never a big fan of cold pizza the day after, but even when leftover pizza is warmed up it's not as good as when you first ordered it. I finally tried eating cold pizza and it wasn't that bad. I still don't eat it all the...

As I am a very stubborn person - LOL - if anyone criticise me at work or in any other walk of life, I tend to get quietly annoyed about it, and determine to prove them wrong. I certainly never give tem the satisfaction of knowing...

Which do you prefer? I live in a small town just outside San Antonio called China Grove, if you've ever heard the Doobie Brothers song. I feel lucky like I have the best of both worlds. Where would you rather live?

independent_inAK Definitely small town for me. I grew up in and still live in a small town. It's growing though. Most small towns are friendly and I feel safer...at least in mine.

independent_inAK I used to be big on celebrating Valentines Day but am not any more. I think I tried to hard and made too much of a big deal out of it. I always gave and received gifts but since I've been married that doesn't happen much. The hubby's not big into giving me...

independent_inAK I think at 15 you don't know what true love is. I know I thought that I knew but I didn't. There is so much to learn after 15, 18 or even 25...I'm still learning what love is all about.

At what age do you feel someoen can get engaged without people thinking negatively of it?

engagement

independent_inAK I feel that it all depends on the people and their situation. The couple could be young but very mature and they could have their families support and that would be fine or there could be a young couple who just want to get married out of spite or just for the...
