I need some information about selling online

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (161006) • United States 12 Jul 08

isabeliever I would suggest selling as a lot. You are more likely to get a bite. It is also FAR less work! Locally, there is a site called 'UsedOlympia'. ...I can post on it for free. There is also craigslist.com...I hope I'm not repeating what someone else has suggested....

What type of Asian food is your favorite?

Amber @AmbiePam (94125) • United States 13 Jul 08

I like Chinese food. I have also had Thai and Japanese food. I don't think I could tell you anything about food with origins from Vietnam, Korea, or the Philippines, other than the halo halo I saw a contestant make on Top Chef....

isabeliever I would definitely say Vietnamese although Malay runs a close second. I lived in S.E. Asia for 7 years and got REALLY spoiled. The traditional (verses Americanized) food is INCREDIBLE. In fact, all the regional foods are better in S.E. Asia rather than cooked...

Funniest Comedian

Amber @AmbiePam (94125) • United States 23 Jun 08

Who do you think is the funniest comedian you have ever seen or heard? This could be someone who is no longer even alive, or maybe someone who isn't a stand up comic, but plays a comedic role in movies often or TV. I think Chris...

isabeliever George Carlin by far. I am so sorry I never got to see him perform live. He died yesterday. If you haven't heard 'Seven Words You Can't Say on The Radio/TV" check it out at youtube. Hilarious! AND a great social commentary on how we are censored to death.

CanadaGal @CanadaGal (4304) • Canada 9 May 08

My son Alex is 7 years old and in grade one (his first year of school all day and every day). He does well in school, has many friends, and is one of the taller kids in his class. He is also one of the world's most pickiest...

isabeliever OK - so one more comment on this. I hate to quote Dr.Phil - but one of his questions I really like is "So, how's that working for you?" The defination of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. It might be a good idea...

isabeliever I have a few suggestions: #1 - Has he been tested for food allergies? Sometimes kids who really dislike a food do so because that food group makes them feel sick, or unhappy or cranky etc. Do that and find our if he has a legitimate reason for not like such...

Have you been to Mt. Rushmore?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (161006) • United States 5 May 08

I keep thinking that one of these days we will be able to go. I would also like to see Crazy Horse, and buy some Black Hills gold. Do you live near enough to visit these places.?

isabeliever Both are fantastic and well worth the desolate drive. They really are out there. If you ever head that way make sure to stop in Mitchell, SD to see the 'Corn Palace' too. Its crazy! I saw them when I did a cross country drive from NY to WA after I got...

isabeliever Did you know that that kind of bloat can be caused from not enough water in your colon? Women get more bloated than men because they have a harder time keeping things 'fluid' in that area. If you take a high dose of good quality calcium/magnesium at night...

isabeliever Baker. I love the chemistry and creativity of baking. You can do so much with basic recipes. Then there is the pleasure you bring to people by baking something that really excites their taste buds. Definately Baker. I'm tired too!

A little Music Input?

Amber @AmbiePam (94125) • United States 7 Apr 08

I don't think I'll get too many responses, because this isn't a 'normal' music question people usually have. I'm interested in music where there is no singing. Probably piano music, jazz like, soulful, perhaps the saxophone, but...

isabeliever I personally love classical guitar music. So relaxing and usually not to many changes in pace to wake your brain back up - "what was that?" kind of thing.

isabeliever I have the same problem with my husband. I started buying him the DVD collections of old TV shows that he really loved. Underdog, The Tick, Futurama etc. Silly but I know he really liked it because I couldn't get him away from the TV after I gave them to him!

isabeliever I agree that small children are little sponges. At this age, their brains are still forming. 'Experts say' that by exposing them to as much as possible helps the synapses form in the right ways. Exposing them to too much TV and computer games does the...

Are you a slave to the 'fashion police' or do you set your own style?

Coralie Raia Darsey-Malloy @Perspectives (7131) • Canada 7 Jul 07

I watch the entertainment and fashion shows and realize how little I care what they think about who is wearing what. I guess my biggest beef about the 'fashion police' is how arrogant, brash, mean and brutal they can be with their...

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 27 Feb 08
