I love cheese, but not that rubbery stuff

justabloke @justabloke (526) • United States 22 Jan 08

I have always been a lover of cheese, but, growing up in England I was used to cheese that appeared to be drier, flakier and far more tasty that the stuff I see in the stores in the US. The US cheese seems over processed and is...

How have you been treated by immigration officers?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 27 Feb 08

When I went through the border of Guatemala the immigration officer charged what he felt like and looked at each traveler to guess how rich they were. He charged me a few dollars and ten dollars from one lady from Canada but he...

SarahJaya Yes, you are right. I myself am having many unanswered questions about my religion. But we are made to believe in it. But by my own experience, God never allowed me suffer. He is always at my rescue. This is my belief in God.

Evacuee Thanks for your reply. I did think he had a good response when he visited America in his early days but I could be wrong. I do know he has played The Palladium with many great American artistes. For me the greatest he performed with was Sammy Davis Jnr.

Why? I moved to the US in 1990 and the price of gas was something like 80c a gallon. Even up until the turn of the century I don't recall it being too much over $1.20 a gallon. After Katrina, prices went through the roof and have...
