katr0713 I dont know how you feel about the death penalty, but I'm thinking she committed murder and since she originally wanted to die, then have at it. Dont make the taxpayers support her for the rest of her life, or even worse - let her go.

The new hat?

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 8 Jan 09

I don't think so. But I did wear it for an hour or more Christmas Eve. It was inside the huge box(es) that the daughter and grandkids gave me as a gift. Just some things stuffed in to take up space. I had a blast spending nearly...

Be Careful with portable heaters this winter season, they can cause fires

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 8 Jan 09

It has long been known that one of the leading reason for wintertime house fires is the portable heater. People leave them on and they go to sleep and a fire starts while they are sleeping and they don't notice. Two nights ago...

katr0713 Thank goodness no house fires, but my 8 year old knocked a spongbob pillow-like doll off her bed and it touched the heater and started smoking. Needless to say, I took the heater out of her room. Glad nothing bad happened to your loved ones.

katr0713 Other than my trash can being really full, there was no trach around my neighborhood. I live in England, so I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Hmmm - for some reason, I think of Canada and I think of a realy clean place.

What's the most reluctant thing you don't want to do in the winter?

youless @youless (112496) • Guangzhou, China 7 Jan 09

I think I am really unwilling to wake up in the freezing cold winter. It's the most difficult and reluctant thing for me to do I really don't want to leave the warm bed. How about you?

Do your pets have any interests?

youless @youless (112496) • Guangzhou, China 8 Jan 09

I think my cats are very lazy. Perhaps they grow older and therefore they are less energetic. Their biggest interest is having a good sleep all day long

Taking The Food Out Of Your Mouth

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 7 Jan 09

Have you got the bad habit of taking food out of your mouth whilst eating? What I mean is when you are eating something and you can't digest it, or it tastes foul do you discreetly empty your mouth if anyone else is around or...

katr0713 Heavens No! If I have something in my mouth that I need to get rid of, I will discretely get it into my napkin. As for pets, I dont have any, but if I did, I probably wouldnt feed them of my food. Kids...cant remember if I ever did that, but I'm thinking not.

katr0713 I have, but like you, I only did it because I didnt think it was fair of me to impose my choices upon them. I'm not a big red meat eater, and they dont like fish, so at times, I make separate meat dishes.
