lorelei1622 Considering the over 10 percent unemployment rate in CA right now, you may want to think it through before quitting, unless you are independently wealthy, a bad job history could keep you from getting another job anywhere decent.

Do you wear your seatbelt?

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 13 Mar 09

It's a law here that you have to wear your seatbelt as it is in most places now. Even though, a lot of people refuse to wear one as they think they may do more harm than good. They'd rather get a ticket than risk not being able to...

lorelei1622 I usually do, occasionally I forget to put it on. And in response to a previous responder, sometimes it would be idiotic to wear it. My brother is quite tall and has been in 2 separate accidents, that in both cases, if he had had a seat belt on he would have...

Our local WalMart has started upgrading their store, putting in new flooring, upgrading the bathrooms, putting up a new sign and painting the outside of the store. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, but they...

lorelei1622 I have to wonder if we live near each other, the Walmart near us is undergoing the same thing and the Super center is supposed to open elsewhere in the same town, within a year or 2 I think.

lorelei1622 Dowsing rods are used quite often around here to find water, power lines, old underground copper lines. Most of the local farmers are quite adept at finding water with one and that's how many of the homes nearby chose where to drill wells for their water.

lorelei1622 1. It is against mylot rules. People responding here that they are using their real names are in violation and should hope that the moderators don't view this and ban them. 2. It is safest to never give personal information on line, you never know if the...
