Will you be voting to reelect the current president Of the United States?

Linda4ualways @Linda4ualways (2282) • United States 21 Aug 10

I don't know where I stand as of right now. I know I voted to put him in office this term. I think he has done the best he knew how so far. This best may not be to the best of others though. I think he should get a shot at another...

janet069 I didn't vote for him the first time and I definitely will not vote for him if he has little enough sense to run again.

I'm Just Curious

lilangelspreschool @lilangelspreschool (1129) • United States 24 Aug 10

I was just wondering why people have bad things to say about Jehovah Witnesses? I have heard people talking about them and I am just curious what the deal is with this... Do you have bad opinions on them? Do you not like...

janet069 Many people do not want to be bothered with Jehovah Witnesses knocking on their door. I mostly agree with that. I believe that we have churches where we can go to worship and it is our choice. I don't think they are bad people, I just don't believe the way...

janet069 I'd rather be smart. Beauty fades with time. True beauty is within. Often people who are beautiful to look at have a superior attitude.

janet069 You will have to work hard to provide for your family but your life is not over. Marriage is a great institution when two people love each other. When you look at single life, you still have to work hard of you want to make a good life for yourself and then...

A difficult week.

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 25 May 08

This has been a difficult week for my wife and me, bad news has been coming thick and fast. First my wife's 46 year old brother died. He hadn't been well for some time, but still his death was unexpected. Two days later my wife's...

janet069 It seems you are having your share of grief but as others have said, everything happens for a reason. I lost my father 5 years ago to cancer and yes, I knew it was coming but that did not make reality easier. One year later my 43 year old sister had a stroke...

I have been robbed!

catmint @catmint (628) • Singapore 30 Mar 08

Yesterday I put a few of my articles I hosted on my blog through a web publisher to see if they could get my stuff published. To my horror I found 1 stolen, 1 borrowed rather blantantly from under my nose! Here I was jumping...

janet069 You might want to try Helium or Associated Content. They are honest and I have never had anything like this happen to me there. There are plenty of fakes out there that will steal articles. I had that happen to me one time when I submitted an article to an...

janet069 If it is a Democrat, I hope it is Hillary. I don't trust Obama. At this point though, I don't think anybody can guess. I just hope Obama gets beat, even if it is a republican who beats him.

Will Hillary's old Dirty Tricks work this time?

petebaja @petebaja (516) • Mexico 14 Feb 08

I noticed this morning that Hillary Clinton's camp rolled out the big guns. I don't mean Bill Clinton, either. They've brought out Operation SMEAR. Yes, I couldn't believe it. Their campaign is so desperately behind that...

Benjaminna @Benjaminna (300) • United States 19 Feb 08

Why would Obama have a communist flag and a pic of a communist leader hanging on his wall in his support office? Just watch the first 15 seconds of this video and look at what is hanging on the wall -- then ask yourself -- who...

janet069 I can't believe that everybody is supporting Obama the way they are. He won't salute the flag, he was raised as a muslim, how can he have the best interest of the US when he doesn't even respect the flag. I don't necessairly like McCain but at least he has...

Does your dog obey you?

positiveminded1977 @positiveminded1977 (7072) • India 31 Dec 07

Mine don't! :( They used to when they were pups. But now, they are slightly grown up and have learnt 'human' ways. They seem too human to me--the way they blackmail us emotionally, disobey and play around. I guess they need a...

janet069 Are you kidding me? Dogs obey? I have three and they all do as they please. Probably my fault, they are my kids now since mine have grown up and left the nest. I took one of my dogs to obedience school and he did great while we were there. The only problem is,...

Easier to Write Fiction or Non-Fiction

suspenseful @suspenseful (40193) • Canada 1 Jan 08

I love to write fiction. I would be terrible at writing non-fiction, because non-fiction means you are able to recall in detail events of your past, and because I had blackouts as a kid (NO I DID NOT DRINK ALCOHOL: Sorry for...

janet069 I am a journalist so my work is all non-fiction. Sometimes I do human interest articles but they too are non-fiction. I have never really made an attempt at fiction because you have to have a vivid imagination. I seem to do better with the facts. But I am...

janet069 Unfortunately quilting is a dying art. I love to make quilts but the younger generation does not seem to have the time to learn. Quilting is something I do for people I love. I have never kept one I have made. I too feel many of the older arts are fading away...

Do you use your cast iron skillets?

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 31 Dec 07

It occurred to me that I still have a couple of cast iron skillets tucked away under the cupboard. When teflon and then later non-stick came out, I switched to that because I thought it was neat and easier to clean. But I seem to...

janet069 I only use cast iron for cornbread. They are actually the most unclean type of pan to use. I used to sell cookware and we really got an education about cast iron. When heated it expands and traps what you are cooking in it when it cools off. A great trick to...

Are there characters in your favorite tv programs that you really hate?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 31 Dec 07

One of my favorite tv programs is King of Queens and I have to tell you that I think the writers could have toned down the character of Carey's father. I'm sure it has something to do with Jerry Stiller playing the part because...

janet069 I enjoy soaps when I have the time to watch them. The Young and the Restless is one of my favorites along with The Bold and the Beautiful. I hate Victor and I hate Stephanie. But I'll have to admit, the shows wouldn't be worth watching without them.
