Journeytaker I like plain coffee, but I prefer my coffee with cream and sugar free sweetener. I make my own specialty drinks at home when I want one. Starbucks is expensive, and they don't do it like I want.

Have you noticed that you cannot buy anything that is not from China?

Yestheypayme2dothis @Yestheypayme2dothis (7874) • United States 9 Feb 08

Have you noticed that you cannot buy anything that is not from China? It is not just Big Lots, Ollie's Gab's and other discount store. It is at places like Kohl's, etc. All kinds of items are involved from clothing, to housewares,...

Journeytaker I actually enjoy both. There are times that only a pen and a nice notebook will do for my creativity. Other times I use the computer. I eventually put many things I write on paper on my computer to use later as inspiration for blogs.

Do you think private schools are better than public schools?

crazylife @crazylife (855) • United States 3 Feb 08

I went to a private school when I was a kid growing up and I think private schools are as bad as public schools, what do you think?

private schools

3 responses

Journeytaker That depends on the private school. My children go to private school, and it is a wonderful environment. It is small so there is a lot of one on one for each student because of the 10 to one student to teacher ratio. It is a Christian private school that...

Journeytaker Gosh I saw all three movies theatrical releases, and I saw all three extended versions. I liked the extended versions better. I was disappointed that the Scouring of the Shire was missing among a few other things, but I still say these are the greatest movies...

Journeytaker God is Sovereign!! Remember when Rachel begged Jacob to give her children? What was his response to her? I can not give you what only God can. (paraphrased that) We NEVER deserve anything good God does in our lives. It is all a result of what Jesus Christ did...

Journeytaker You know I still do both. There is just something so soothing about writing in a beautifully bound book and feeling the actual pen to the paper for me. I keep mine put away so no one reads it. It is very personal for me, and I say things in there I would never...

Journeytaker Hmmm.. I wonder if this a ploy to hinder Obama. I am not a fan of either Kennedy or Obama, but I just wonder if this is a way to further turn many against Obama. I may be totally off base, but it just reeks of well... it just reeks to me. (of course politics...

Journeytaker I was just thinking about this very thing today. I have had the opportunity to see both sides of this, and I lean toward the idea that they should be banned. School is not the place to text each other etc. Students should be able to concentrate on their...

Does your supermarket provide calculators attached to their shopping carts?

someonesmom @someonesmom (5761) • Canada 29 Jan 08

When grocery shopping on a budget, I've often used a calculator. The problem is (here in Canada) to my knowledge, these are not provided by the stores. This can make for problems, in getting the calculator positioned correctly, so...

Journeytaker This discussion has piqued my interest because I really would like this feature; however, most stores do not want you to be aware of how much you are spending. Why? Because they benefit from our impulse buying and a calculator attached to the shopping cart...

Journeytaker I believe you handled it well. I think that I would have explained my condition though as they may be wondering why you ate so little. I would not be offended if someone could not eat my food because of a medical condintion. When you are invited next time...
