irisann66 I don't know if I really believe in ghosts; but I do believe sometimes a person's soul/spirit or a part of it stays behind. Whether there is a desire or need that part of a person's being feels that it needs to be a constant part of that particular "site". I...

irisann66 I am more conscious about recycling my cardboard, plastic containers, and plastic bags. Those are big in our house. We have also started a vegetable garden; and that will make a big impact on our veggy consumption - much more healthy.

Ahh, Modern Technology...

Bethany1202 @Bethany1202 (3431) • United States 21 Jul 09

There are so many things today that try to offer a modern twist. One thing I have found is companies offering products that vibrate. (Get your mind out of the gutter...) I have seen vibrating toothbrushes, vibrating razors,...

irisann66 I use a standard toothbrush, hairbrush, nail file, etc. because that's what I prefer. I've tried various vibrating things & always tend to go back to the non-vibrating.

Would you die for your beliefs?

incredibleDNA @incredibleDNA (1742) • Philippines 21 Jul 09

This is a question for all theists and atheists. If you were about to be killed for your beliefs would you renounce them and live or stick with your beliefs and die? I'm just curious how strongly people believe in their religion...

irisann66 You know that feeling doesn't end with the first. I have 4 & I felt that way about all my children. It's surprising how much you feel for your children. And you really don't lose those feelings as they get older. You just feel for them in a different way...

irisann66 I absolutely love pedicures. The massage, the soaking in hot water; nice! But I only go to a salon/spa once in a great while to get it professionally done. I usually do my own pedicures; and do them for my girls as well. They love it. And I do too. During the...

irisann66 yeah....they would definitely need to be alteast 18 (if they lived @ home) to get a tattoo &/or piercing. I'm more against piercings than tattoos. Although, if one of my daughters asked me when they were 16 I would seriously think about taking them. I'd rather...

OpinionatedLady @OpinionatedLady (5965) • United States 21 Jul 09

irisann66 Ok, so I'll put my 2 cents in. Overall, I think it is good for children to see/hear parents argue & that they know that there can be resolutions to problems. That a problem can be worked out by communicating. Although, constant arguing & yelling is not the...
