Life can really suck sometimes. I just got in from a having a great day and got a message from my friend to call her. I used to work with her and her mother for years. And we were very good friends outside of work. Her mother died...

lbinkley Losing someone you love is very hard, and everyone deals with their emotions in times like this differently. I went through stages of anger and depression when I lost my brother. Really though, I came to realize that it's ok to be mad sometimes, and it's ok to...

Another crazy bill, they are trying to pass

Thoroughrob @Thoroughrob (11742) • United States 4 Feb 08

Just heard on the news, that they are trying to pass a bill that restaurants are not allowed to serve obese people. What? If you are obese, you are not allowed to eat? Some people are obese due to medical conditions and reasons...

lbinkley I am so angry about this that I don't think I can even type a full response! I mean dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right, obese people can't eat? And that is supposed to help something. What if they can't cook? What if they are traveling? So no obese people...

lbinkley I am so sorry to hear about this and I am praying that she will be ok. I know how hard it can be with some children. Some teachers or aides or whoever in the education field just seem to get a better response out of children than others. My sister has Down...

lbinkley i usually wear jammies to bed. I am not comfortable without them really, because my 4 year old son just barges in in the morning... but when it's so hot I can't stand it I will still sleep in just undies and a tank top. It just depends. I'm kind of addicted to...

Child Support....

smwilliams @smwilliams (647) • United States 4 Feb 08

Do you think that the parent who does not have custody should be held financially resposible for the child still? What if they dont see the child?

lbinkley I think that the parent who does not have custody should ALWAYS have financial responsibility no matter what. If they have visitation, so what? That child still needs a roof over their head and food in their stomach when they aren't with the non-custodial...

Eyebrow Piercing...Is The Pain Worse Than Getting A Tattoo??

emmasmomma @emmasmomma (340) • Canada 6 Feb 08

For a while now I've been wanting to get my eyebrow pierced but have been too afraid of the pain involved. I have my ears pierced and I have 2 tattoos. Is the pain involved worse or less than the pain involved in getting a...

lbinkley I have had my eyebrow done twice, and I have 7 tats. Personally, I don't think tats hurt very much anyway, but I have one that goes all the way around my ankle and I do think that hurt a LOT more than getting my eyebrow done either time. I don't have it in...

argie713 @argie713 (1809) • Philippines 5 Jul 07

Often times a couple fight over anonymous messages that are read on the phone. I've heard stories from my friends that they argued because of this. Sometimes messages on mobile phones are misinterpreted. These are often the...

lbinkley My phone is an open book. Anyone can read it, my hubby included! I don't have anything to hide on there. Mostly things like.. "you still awake? Can I call you?" That sort of thing. Nothing special! Besides I get a lot of my texts from him and what I don't I am...

Do you support Smoking?

amitksing @amitksing (1323) • India 5 Jan 08

Smoking is perhaps the most ubiquitous habbit! Even when the smoker knows that smoking is injurious to his health, he still does the same. I dont smoke and am strictly against it. Do you smoke? Do you support smoking? If it is...

Smoking ban...What are your thoughts?

smwilliams @smwilliams (647) • United States 5 Jan 08

I live in Michigan and we have some senators pushing to make smoking illegal in restaurants and bars. The main reason from the health associations is the effect of second hand smoke on non smokers. I have no problem with them...

lbinkley I agree that smoking should NOT be banned in bars. I am fine with no smoking in the workplace, and in restaraunts... fine and dandy. If nonsmokers want to go somewhere and drink where there is no smoke, then go to a place that has a bar in it where smoking...

Picking up an Instrument Later in Life

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 16 Dec 07

Do you think you have to learn to play a musical instrument while you're a kid, or is it possible to pick it up later? I've always wanted to learn to play the piano but my parents never encouraged me to play anything whilst I...

lbinkley I think it is harder to learn anything new as an adult, but it definitely isnt' impossible. If you really put your mind to it, you can learn. It won't come natrually and you will probably have to work at it, but you can learn! You just never know what you are...
